Chapter 139


    By the time Becky woke up, it was already dark outside, and the room was so dim that she couldn’t


    see anything.


    She grabbed her phone, turned on the screen, and discovered that it was already past seven


    o’clock in the evening.


    She had a good rest aftering back from the hospital, so she felt much morefortable now.


    The day’s events gradually surfaced to her mind one by one, and when she thought about Devin,


    she suddenly felt a mild headache.


    She was in a really bad state today. When Devin came over, she had a high fever and just wanted


    to sleep after taking the medicine. She hadn’t been sober at all the entire day, which gave Devin the


    opportunity to stay at her ce.


    Her head ached at the thought of Devin waiting for her outside her room.


    Becky had been chased by many boys ever since she was a child, but after her second year in


    junior high school, she was a school bully. Not only that, but her grades were always in the top


    three, making her popr among both good students and bad students alike.

    In the second year of junior high school, she had many boys confessing to her. Most of the boys at


    that time were pretty timid, but there were also a few who were unwilling to give up even after being


    rejected. However, after discovering Becky’s outstanding performance in her studies, they


    immediately backed off.


    Later on, only very few people had the courage to woo Becky. Most of them just kept admiring her


    silently from afar.


    As the years passed, she went to Courtbush University. There, her admirers were much more


    difficult to reject, but she always had her own ways to deal with them ordingly.


    Money didn’t move her heart in the slightest. There were good-looking guys, but they couldn’t


    compare to her level of intelligence. On the other hand, the ones who were better than her in


    academics weren’t as good-looking as her.


    Whenever she encountered people who were pushy and aggressive with their advances, Becky


    would invite them to the boxing gym to practice her moves on them, and with that, they would


    immediately retreat.


    However, Devin was different from them.


    He wasn’t the pushy type, but he was persistent.


    Becky often felt like he could see right through her.


    He knew when to stop, and he also knew when to make a move. Whenever she felt like he was


    crossing the line, he would immediately back away.


    She really didn’t know what to do with him.


    He had told her back then that if she didn’t want a rtionship, then he wouldn’t pursue her.


    He indeed didn’t continue to pursue her, but what he was doing didn’t seem to be any different from


    pursuing her.


    At that moment, the phone in Becky’s hand vibrated, snapping her out of her thoughts. She then got


    up and left the bedroom.


    “Oh, you’re awake?”


    Becky was startled to hear Jessie’s voice.


    She looked around and saw Jessieing toward her with a ss of water in her hand. “Are you


    looking for someone? Is it Devin?”


    Becky took the ss from her and took a sip of water from it. “When did youe here?”


    “About four o’clock in the afternoon. By the way, are you hungry? Before Devin left, he reminded me


    multiple times that you should have some porridge first the moment you wake up since you haven’t


    eaten anything at all the entire day.”


    Jessie then added in a meaningful tone, “Devin even cooked the porridge himself!”


    Becky waved her hand dismissively, not believing Jessie’s words. “Stop it, will you? Come on, help


    me get a bowl of porridge. I’m really hungry.”


    Jessie went to the kitchen, filled a bowl with the porridge, and then put it on the table. She sat


    opposite Becky and rested her chin on her hand. “I’m not joking. Devin cooked the porridge


    himself!”


    To be honest, it had taken Jessie a long time to digest this fact even though she had seen it herself


    with her own eyes. When she entered the kitchen earlier in the afternoon, she was surprised to see


    Devin standing there, wearing an apron. Before she could react, he asked her to sit down first while


    he continued to cook the porridge.


    Jessie obediently sat on the sofa in the living room, but she couldn’t help sending nces towards


    the kitchen, wondering if she was just dreaming this scene or not.


    When Devin came out after finishing with the porridge, his phone rang. After answering the call, he


    told her about Becky’s condition before leaving.


    Jessie had been sitting on the sofa by herself the entire afternoon. When she smelled the delicious


    porridge in the kitchen, she felt jealous somehow.


    Becky was silent for a moment before asking, “What did he tell you?”


    “Nothing. He just asked me to take good care of you. He also told me that you have a fever and


    haven’t eaten anything the entire day. After that, he left.”


    When the words left Jessie’s lips, she suddenly remembered the reason why she came here in the


    first ce.


    “By the way, what’s going on? I saw the articles on the Inte. What does Raina cutting her wrist


    have to do with you?”
