Divorce Has Never Felt This Good Chapter 162

Everyone around Aiken was taken aback by his inquiry. Jessie inquired with bewilderment, “Who is Royi? Since when has Becky become interested in comic books? Are you all right in the head, Aiken? There’s no way Becky can be a cartoonist since she has been terrible at drawing ever since she was a kid.”

However, Aiken ignored Jessie. He merely glanced at Becky and asked again, “Is that you?”

Becky cracked a wry grin and remarked, “Your question is unexpected. However, I am not that person.”

Jessie saw that Aiken was still intent on pressing the issue. With furrowed brows, she remarked, “Now that Becky is here and she answered your question, the bet we have is over.”

Jessie pushed Becky and said, “Well, you haven’t recovered from your cold yet. Go back home and take a rest!”

Still wanting to speak out, Aiken was greeted with a snide glance from Jessie.

Becky glanced at Aiken and said, “If there is nothing urgent, I’ll go back home. Have a pleasant time!”

Then she turned around and went out.

Smiling slightly, Devin observed Aiken. After that, he went after Becky.

Aiken called out to Devin, “Hey, we haven’t had a drink together in a long time, have we? How about —”

“Maybe we can do it some other time.”

Devin waved his hand in rejection and followed Becky out of the bar.

Aiken assumed that Devin was more skillful in chasing girls than Rory.

With his peculiar personality, Rory was probably better off never finding love again.

Rory and Aiken had been friends for thirty years. Rory was like a guy in a perilous game, who couldn’t see clearly the big picture. Aiken believed he couldn’t stand by and watch as his buddy fell into the abyss.

Aiken sighed and reached for his phone to contact Rory. Suddenly, he was tapped on the shoulder.

His fingers trembled and he nearly dropped his phone.

As he looked over, he saw that Jessie was staring at him angrily.

Jessie said with discontent, “I don’t understand why you just asked that question. I have fulfilled my bet. I’m going.”

“How about I send you home?”

“No, I’m good.”

Aiken tapped his nose. He didn’t want to give her a ride anyway.

Following Jessie’s departure, Aiken made a hasty phone call to Rory.

Aiken left the bar since it was too noisy.

As he picked up the phone, Rory said, “What is it?”

“I mentioned a comic book by a cartoonist named Royi. Have you read it? I’m sure Royi is Becky and the comic book hero is a lot like you.”

Aiken remembered the comic’s unexpected success two years ago. His cousin had requested that he had Royi autograph a book for her. However, the book publisher claimed that Royi was just a part-time creator and refused to sign the book.

Aiken’s cousin spent her whole summer break bugging him about why he hadn’t gotten the autograph. Aiken read the book out of curiosity. The story was about mundane events, but the artwork was superb. In the end, the hero and heroine were not in love with each other.

At that moment, he believed that the hero seemed familiar, and then he learned that the hero looked virtually the same as Rory.

Actually, he had asked Rory whether he knew any cartoonist.

Rory had sent him a chilly glare, so Aiken had never mentioned it again.

Actually, it was a rather depressing story.

The story centered on the emotional development of a girl who had feelings for a boy. But the boy had no idea the girl secretly loved him.

When they finally met and had coffee together, the narrative was over.

Aiken noticed the sketch in his car when he met Rory at midday, and it brought up memories of the comic book.

Aiken and Jessie happened to cross paths in the afternoon. Thus, he conceived such a plan. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Becky might have denied it, but Aiken believed she was Royi.
