Chapter 244


    Chapter 244 She Didn''t Want to Know


    If Becky had known that she would run into Rory and Devin fighting, she would have dly stayed


    in her apartment and had someone else do her a favor.


    With all the stress she had been through in thest two days, she was supposed to be sleeping in


    bed by now.


    At first, she slept deeply andfortably, but all of a sudden, a strange feeling came over her,


    forcing her to wake up immediately.


    Women seemed to have this almost magical sense that informed them of the approach of their


    periods.


    The moment Becky woke up, she quickly ran to the bathroom to check.


    And she saw the blood on her underwear, showing that her period had begun.


    This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.


    She had been so busy these past few days that she hadpletely forgotten that her period was


    due.


    Since she had used up all the tampons she had at home, the only solution was to go out to the


    convenience store nearby to get some.


    Thest thing she had expected to see the moment she stepped out of her apartment was Rory and


    Devin facing off.


    She had thought that their fight, at least the physical one, hade to an end.


    Apparently, she had been wrong.


    "Why did you guys stop? Go on, please.Don''t let me interrupt you,"


    Becky said and walked past them.


    Devin pursed his lips for a while as he watched her go.


    Then he turned to Rory and said, "Mind you, this doesn''t end here.We''ll finish what we started


    another day."


    Having said that, he took off after Becky and soon caught up with her.


    "Becky, what''s wrong? Are you feeling sick?" he asked in concern.


    Becky had left her room in a hurry, so she had not had time to dress properly.She had only thrown a


    simple dress over her body before leaving.


    Now, the wind was blowing the dress onto Devin''s leg as he walked beside her.


    "I''m going to get something," she said.


    Together, they walked in silence until they reached the entrance of the store.


    Becky stopped there and turned to him.


    "Aren''t you going to fight anymore?"


    The truth was that Devin had not expected Becky was going to leave her apartment.He wasn''t sure


    how much of what he said she had heard.


    To be on the safe side, he decided that he wouldn''t hide anything about the previous night from her.


    "I''m sorry.I faked my faintingst night," he confessed.


    Becky was shocked.


    She couldn''t help but ask, "Why?"


    Devin took a step closer to her, eliminating what little space there was between them until their


    faces were almost touching.


    Then he smiled and said, "I wanted you to be on my side."


    He was so blunt that Becky didn''t know how to respond.


    Rory, who had just caught up with them, was going to say something when he heard what Devin


    said.


    What could he say? Apologize to Becky and say that he shouldn''t have been so reckless? What


    could he say if Becky asked him why he was so reckless? Could he tell her that he went mad upon


    seeing Devin kissing her? Rory stood there, unable to move, as he recalled what Aiken had said.


    "I have to tell you this, Rory.You can''t defeat Devin when ites to love."


    And Rory had given him a carefree response.


    He simply told Aiken that it had nothing to do with love.


    But now, he could see that Aiken had been right all along.


    Becky finally noticed the presence of Rory and asked, "Rory, did you want to say something?"


    Even though she acted as if it was just an innocent question, there was a queer expression on her


    face and even her tone had a hint of mockery in it.


    Rory couldn''t help but feel sad and upset.He had lost and he was suffering what a loser would


    expect to suffer.


    "I''m sorry for what happenedst night."


    "Okay," Becky replied with a shrug.


    "I''ve heard you.Can you please leave now?"


    Rory was shocked to hear her say this.He took a sharp nce at Devin.


    Becky then turned to Devin next.


    "Devin, can you please leave too?"


    Devin was surprised too, but he tried not to show it.


    "Okay, he said with a shrug.Then he turned around and left the area.But Rory didn''t leave and


    neither did Becky care anymore about his presence.She simply went into the store and got some


    tampons for herself.Then she came back out.


    The moment he saw Beckying out of the store, Rory called to her.


    "Becky..."


    She stopped, but she didn''t turn around.


    "What is it?" she asked impatiently.


    "um..."


    He wanted to ask if she still loved him.


    That was the question Rory wanted to ask her, but he couldn''t.


    Instead, he said, "It''s nothing.Good night."


    Becky didn''t respond.


    She resumed walking and went straight into the building she resided in.


    She knew that Rory had wanted to say something to her, but she didn''t know what exactly he


    wanted to say and neither did she want to know.
