Divorce Has Never Felt This Good

Chapter 241 Making Money And Loving You

Half an hour later, the car came to a halt in front of Jessie's residence.

Jessie took off her headphones and looked around in confusion, acting like she had just woken up. "Wow.Are we here already?"

Then she unfastened her seat belt, pushed open the car door, and stepped out of the vehicle. Devin brought down her suitcase from the car trunk and handed it to her.

Jessie thanked him and dragged it to her side.

"It's late now.Just about time to get to sleep.See you guys around.”

With that, she turned and hurried off, dragging her suitcase after her.

As she watched her go, Becky couldn't help but shake her head.

Knowing Jessie, she was sure that her words had a hidden meaning.

Just as she had expected, Becky soon got a message from Jessie.

It read, "Now that I'm gone, you two can do whatever you want.”

Becky hissed and closed the message app without sending a response.

Jessie loved talking nonsense sometimes.

But this time, she wasn't in the mood to humor her.

The car soon began to slow down again.

Jessie's place was not far from Becky's apartment.

They lived only about 15 minutes apart.

Despite the short distance, one would have to go through a number of traffic lights when traveling between both places.

This was due to the fact that their apartments were located in the city center.

Though it was already 11 p.m., many traffic lights were still working.

That was why Courtbush was nicknamed the sleepless city.

When the car finally came to a halt in front of Becky's place, Devin suddenly turned to her and apologized.

"Sorry for what happened last night.”

Devin had a very serious expression on his face, and it made Becky a little uncomfortable. Nevertheless, she smiled and responded kindly, "It wasn't really your fault.”

"I shouldn't have fought back.”

After a brief silence, he added, "But I badly wanted to do it."

He had been seeking for an opportunity to punch Rory for quite a long time, but he had not gotten the chance until last night.

Even though it was Rory who had started the fight, Devin was glad to finally have his chance and he fought Rory with all his strength.

But Becky wasn't comfortable talking about this with him.She was desperate to bring the conversation to an end.

"But you already apologized, you know," she reminded him.

"Ah.You saw that? I deliberately put out that statement to counter his,” Devin admitted with a shrug. Becky had not expected him to admit it so easily.She looked at him and smiled.

"Wow.You're quite blunt,” she said, almost in admiration.

"You once said you didn't like playboys."

"But how does that have to do with being blunt?" she asked in surprise.

Smiling slyly, Devin looked at her with his twinkling dark brown eyes.

"Becky, it's never really been about you not like playboys, has it? You're just insecure.If I'm always blunt and straightforward, will you think I'm more reliable?"

Upon hearing his confession of love, Becky felt her heart beating rapidly.But it didnt take long for her to calm herself.

"I don't think I'm insecure.”

"Are you sure?"

Devin turned to look straight ahead at his windshield.

There was a small smile on his face and his eyes were still twinkling brightly.

"Then maybe you should give me a chance.You never know, you might get what you've always wanted in a man."

Becky looked straight ahead too and shook her head.

"I don't have time for all that.l just want to make money now.Don't you want to make money too?" "Of course I do.Who doesn't?"

Then he went silent for a while.But he soon spoke up again.

"But we both know that both things do not conflict with each other.”

Becky smiled but said nothing in response.She didn't know what to do.

Devin was stressing her with his patience.She had been expecting him to get tired and give up on her.She wasn't sure whether or not she was going to fall in love again in the near future.

Even if she did, it wouldn't be with Devin.She just wanted to stay away from anyone related to Rory.She didn't care that Devin was Rory's opponent.

The car had been parked in front of Becky's residence for quite a while now.But Devin still hadn't unlocked the doors.He only unfastened his seat belt and turned to Becky.

"Just give me a few minutes please.”

Then he opened the door and stepped out of the car.He made straight for a convenience store nearby.
