Divorce Has Never Felt This Good

Divorce Has Never Felt This Good Chapter 124

The meaning behind Aiken’s words was obvious. He said Becky had made the right decision to divorce Rory. It meant that even Aiken thought that Becky shouldn’t have married Rory in the first place.

Rory froze. Without another word, he swirled his glass of wine before downing it in one go.

Aiken sighed at Rory’s silence. He said cautiously, “To be honest, didn’t you marry Becky just because your grandpa forced your hand? We used to think that you hired Becky to play the role of your wife.”

But nobody had realized that Becky took the marriage so seriously.

When Becky married Rory, they all thought that Rory had hired her to deceive Elmore.

It didn’t matter if Rory liked Raina or not. The fact that Elmore was forcing Rory to marry another girl of the same status had probably left him with no choice but to hire someone to play the role of his wife.

To these rich people, solving things with money was easy.

But obviously, Rory and Becky’s marriage was not that simple and money couldn’t solve whatever was between them.

Rory had thought that Becky had married him for money, but the truth was that she had done it for love.

When Becky married into the Casper family, everyone thought she did it for money. But how ironic a thought that was! It turned out that she was the daughter of the richest man in Bluepond. She wasn’t lacking in money.

Rory looked up at him with a dark face and said, “I never thought of divorcing her.”

Aiken looked at his childhood friend for a long minute and asked, “But were you a good husband to her? If it weren’t for the fact that we’ve known each other for so many years, I would have slapped you, Rory.” Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

Everyone in the upper class of Courtbush knew that Denise and Babette had worked together to deal with Becky again and again.

It was true that Becky had made a fool of herself on important occasions, but it was because they had set her up.

She might have been Rory’s wife, but nobody had thought of her as Mrs. Casper.

In the past, Aiken thought that Becky deserved this treatment, thinking she was a gold digger.

But now, he knew that she hadn’t married Rory for money. She had done it for love.

No matter how biased he was towards Rory, he couldn’t side with him on this.

“When you married Becky, did you tell her that you were a contractual couple? Did you ever tell her that your relationship was based on money and that your contract could be canceled if you guys were happy together?”

“No.”

Aiken clicked his tongue. “Tsk! Tsk! You proposed marriage, didn’t you? She married you because she loved you with all her heart. You didn’t treat her as a wife after you got married. You didn’t care when she felt bad. Is that what a husband would do? Or do you think you were qualified to be a husband just because you didn’t cheat on her or abuse her?”

Aiken paused before continuing slowly, “Or did you think that she didn’t deserve you from the very beginning?”

Aiken’s words hit the nail on the head. Rory opened his mouth, wanting to say something to refute him, but was at a loss for words.

It was true that he had never felt sorry for Becky. He had proposed to marry her, yes, but it was because she had set him up that night.

He didn’t think he was wrong. Everything that had happened was because of that night.

If Becky hadn’t set him up, he wouldn’t have thought of marrying her and she wouldn’t have had to marry him.

Rory sat there for a while, his eyes closed, before he said, “She set me up that night.”

Aiken still had a lot to say, not wanting to waste the rare opportunity to scold Rory.

But he had barely finished getting everything off his chest when Rory’s words cut him off.

At this, something seemed to occur to Aiken out of the blue.

“Have you ever thought that maybe Becky was also a victim that night?”
