Chapter 153


    Rory wasn’t surprised when Elmore sent for him. But what Elmore said surprised him greatly.


    “You want me to marry Becky again?”


    “Raina is no good. Don’t tell me you are going to choose her over Becky,” Elmore said angrily.


    Rory didn’t want to marry Raina. But Becky was not an option either!


    After all the drama that had transpired between him and Becky, Rory thought it unwise to go back to


    her. “I will not marry Becky.”


    Elmore growled. “How dare you! Are you blind? Can’t you see that Becky still loves you? This is the


    only reason for her angry outbursts. Tender a sincere apology to her and say things that she would


    love to hear. Maybe coupled with Denise’s apology, Becky will forgive us.”


    Rory said nothing. He knew that Elmore wouldn’t hear him out no matter what he said. Rory had


    always known his grandfather to be a very stubborn man.


    “Are you deaf?” Elmore demanded, lifting his walking stick and bringing it down on Rory’s thigh. “Do


    you not hear me? Raina and her sister are both scheming women. No good wille out of


    marrying Raina. Becky, on the other hand, is from an influential background. She is more than


    enough for you, and most importantly, still loves you. This is why she will readily ept a sincere


    apology from you and marry you again.”


    “I will think about everything you have said. I have a lunch appointment. I won’t be able to have


    lunch with you.”


    After saying that, Rory left. Elmore called after him several times, but he acted as if he didn’t hear it.


    Elmore knocked down an ornament in his anger. The sound caught Carl’s attention. He had been


    standing outside the door and rushed inside at this moment.


    Rory ignored themotion and headed straight to his car.


    He had driven here from thepany and parked his car outside the vi.


    Rory got in quickly, as if Elmore’s spirit was hunting him. He could still hear his grandfather’s angry


    voice ringing in his head. He didn’t start the car immediately. Instead, he sat still for what seemed to


    be a long time, trying to catch his breath.


    He was upset. No one had the right to impose Becky on him. He lit a cigarette and shoved it into his


    mouth.


    Two gunshot-like raps sounded on the window, causing Rory to jump out of his skin. Denise! Rory


    puffed out smoke in her direction, wanting to make her realize that she was an unwanted intruder.


    He wasn’t ready for conversation with her. So, he started his engine.


    But Denise hurried to stand in front of the car, confident that her brother would not run her over.


    “Rory! I found a sketch in the study. Becky made it!”


    Rory’s frown faded almost instantly at the mention of his ex-wife’s name. His grip on the steering


    wheel loosened. “Why do you have it then?” he asked, sounding less upset than he was moments


    ago.


    “Take a look for yourself,” Denise said, dangling the sketch in front of Rory. Becky had made a


    sketch of Rory.


    Rory’s hand shook slightly. “Where did you find this?” he asked. He blinked, wanting to be sure that


    he was seeing right.


    Denise lowered the sketch, fixing Rory with a smug smile. “I already told you. I found it in the study.


    A picture book caught my attention. I opened it and this sketch fell out.”


    Denise’s gaze narrowed back to the sketch. “For her to have drawn you this well means that


    Becky’s love for you is sincere. Look how handsome you are!”


    “Give it to me.” Rory said, stretching out his free hand while snuffing out his cigarette with the other.


    “I found it!”


    Rory’s eyes sent shivers down her spine and Denise had to hand the sketch to him.


    Denise pouted and mumbled, “I wanted to show it to Becky. That way, she wouldn’t have been able


    to deny that she still has feelings for you.”


    Rory ignored her, dropped the sketch on the passenger’s seat, and drove away.Exclusive content ? by N?(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
