Chapter 16


    The crowd cheered and screamed as Summer Band yed. After thest song, people still shouted


    for an encore.


    The people onstage were about to step down as the crowd mored for an encore. They


    exchanged uncertain nces, 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 mmed her foot on the foot pedal and livened up the


    atmosphere again.


    Twenty minutester, 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 ss of warm water from Fred’s hand, Becky nced 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 ying 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 pped


    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 identally 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 ss of wine in his


    hand and said with flourish, “Becky, you were amazing. Cheers!”


    When Becky saw that it was Aiken who congratted 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. Hepletely forgot how condescending he


    was towards Becky before.


    A thought urred 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 reced 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.


    Almost everyone in the night club were in such high spirits after their concert, and the apuse 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-inw’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


    rtionship 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.
