Divorce Has Never Felt This Good novel Chapter 227

Becky turned to look at Devin and asked, “What did you want to say?”

Devin glanced at Jessie, which only served to make her annoyed, and she confronted him immediately. “You and Becky are not in a relationship at the moment. So, why can’t I stay here?”

Devin didn’t say anything in response. He just kept looking at Becky.

Becky shrugged and said, “Well, Jessie…”

Jessie shot Devin an angry look before turning around and storming off.

Even with Jessie’s absence, it was still not the right place for them to talk. Becky had no idea what Devin was planning to say. But his stubbornly persistent look was enough to tell her that she should hear him out.

“This is not a good place to talk,” she pointed out.

Devin felt the same way. He was glad to see that she was of the same mind. “Follow me.”

Becky followed him and Devin led her all the way to the garden.

Everyone else was in the banquet hall. Only Becky and Devin were out here in the quiet garden.

“You can say whatever you want to say now,” she urged.

Devin nodded and said, without any preamble, “I don’t have a girlfriend.”

Then he took a step forward and leaned close to her until his face was almost touching hers. “Becky, do you believe me?”

In the dim light, Becky couldn’t see his expression clearly. She could only see those dark brown eyes of his and his tall nose that was so close to hers.

Her heart was beating rapidly and she tried as much as she could to calm herself down. When she finally recovered herself, she was shocked to see Rory appear all of a sudden and pull Devin away from her, giving him a heavy punch in the face.

Devin winced and groaned in pain.

Becky had to swing into action immediately and stop Rory before he would do something even worse. “Rory, are you crazy? What the hell are you doing?”
