Divorce Has Never Felt This Good

Chapter 16

The crowd cheered and screamed as Summer Band played. After the last song, people still shouted for an encore.

The people onstage were about to step down as the crowd clamored for an encore. They exchanged uncertain glances, until finally, they all looked to Becky.

Becky looked back at them and clicked her tongue decisively. “Why not?”

The second she finished speaking, she slammed her foot on the foot pedal and livened up the atmosphere again.

Twenty minutes later, the four of them finally climbed offstage. They hadn’t felt a rush like this in ten years.

Jessie didn’t even want to leave. “Oh, my God! I think we can start a new career together!”

Taking the glass of warm water from Fred’s hand, Becky glanced at Jessie and said wryly, “What’s the point? I know you’ll change your mind right after our debut.”

Becky knew her best friend well. She reasoned that Jessie’s passion would fizzle out soon enough.

While Jessie loved making music and playing the bass, if they really made their debut as a band, she would definitely be the first one to quit. After all, she didn’t like being restrained by a lot of rules.

They were not the young, carefree girls and boys from ten years ago. Fred had graduated from medicine abroad and returned to the country. He was a surgeon now, and his job was to save people’s lives. Although Vernon still looked as cute as ever, he wore a suit and had taken over the family business.

It was good enough that they had given it a shot when they were young.

Hearing what Becky said, Jessie knew that her friend made sense. Smiling awkwardly, she slapped Becky on the shoulder and asked, “Don’t you think we did good tonight?”

Becky sipped from the water and smiled. “We were wonderful.”

She had felt like a caged bird when she was married to Rory. She almost forgot that she had been so reckless and happy before.

While they were talking, Louisa ran towards them so quickly that she accidentally bumped into Becky. The water in her cup spilled. Fred promptly fetched some tissues and handed them to Becky.

Louisa scratched her head embarrassedly. “Oh, gosh. I’m sorry. I was just so excited. You guys were awesome!”

“It’s okay.” Becky smiled.

She also felt that it was a wonderful night. Even until now, the adrenaline was pumping through her veins.

They continued to chat. All of a sudden, Aiken squeezed into their group with a glass of wine in his hand and said with flourish, “Becky, you were amazing. Cheers!”

When Becky saw that it was Aiken who congratulated her, the smile on her face faded. “Aiken, uh… Long time no see.”

“Yes! You surprised us!”

Aiken was still pumped up from the concert just now. He completely forgot how condescending he was towards Becky before.

A thought occurred to Jessie. “Us? What do you mean? Is Rory here, too?”

Sure enough, Becky saw Rory walking towards them.

Her eyebrows shot up. “When did you guys arrive?”

Finally, Aiken’s excitement died down and was replaced with embarrassment. “I was here since early on in the night. Rory arrived around ten minutes ago.”

“Oh, that’s too bad. He probably thought the music was annoying.”

As soon as Becky finished speaking, Rory walked up to her.

Her voice was neither loud nor low, but Rory heard it clearly. NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

Almost everyone in the night club were in such high spirits after their concert, and the applause was deafening. But Becky said that Rory probably found the music annoying. All of a sudden, Aiken felt that Becky was good at poking fun at people.

“You’re not wrong.”

Hearing Rory’s cold voice, Jessie pursed her lips unhappily. She opened her mouth to retort, but Becky raised her hand to stop her. Becky looked at Rory and smiled. “After all, I know the only sound you like is your sister-in-law’s sob.”

Rory’s expression instantly darkened when he heard this.

Becky didn’t even bother to hide the icy disdain in her voice. Over three months ago, the secret relationship between Rory and Babette was exposed.

Everyone present could tell that Becky was being sarcastic. Even Aiken, Rory’s buddy, wanted to give her a thumbs up.

He was impressed that Becky dared to mock Rory like that.
