Divorce Has Never Felt This Good Chapter 222

Rory hadn’t had dinner with his grandfather for nearly a month. The last time he came here, hestayed for only a few minutes.

The night Denise was punished, he also didn’t stay long.

Jenifer couldn’t keep her husband or son.

When she caught sight of Rory coming into the house, she smiled and welcomed him happily.“Rory, I’m glad you’re home again.”

Rory simply nodded and sat down at the dining table. “Grandpa,” he acknowledged with a slightbow.

In response, Elmore glanced at him. “Let’s have dinner first. After dinner, I have something to tellyou,” he said in a stoic tone.

After her punishment, Denise had adopted a much better behavior. She had become quiet andcalm. Except for Jenifer asking about what was going on in Rory’s life, there was no other soundinterrupting the sounds of cutlery clashing with plates as they ate.

“Have you been working very hard recently? You seemed to have lost a lot of weight,” she said,concern evident in her voice.

Even though she had not seen Rory for a few days, somehow, Jenifer strongly believed that he hadlost some weight.

“No. My weight hasn’t changed,” Rory said in response.

His tone was cold. This was not the first time that Jenifer had been treated coldly by her son. Shehad become used to it by now. At least, Rory had never really gotten angry with her.

Nevertheless, she got the message and didn’t try to ask any more questions. The dining room nowbecame silent and devoid of voices.

Denise had always disliked dining with her family. There were a lot of rules, including the prohibitionof cell phones and a no-talking rule. Seeking to escape such an environment as quickly as possible,she rushed her food, and in no time, she was done. “Grandpa, Mom, Rory, I’m done eating. I’ll goback to my room,” she said as she dropped her cutlery and got up from her chair.

“Wait a minute,” Elmore said before she could move a step. “I have something to say.”

Denise froze on the spot. She was surprised. She had not thought that whatever Elmore was goingto say had anything to do with her. Usually, whenever he had anything to discuss, he only talkedwith Rory.

But since Elmore had asked her to stay, Denise had no choice but to do as he had asked.

Before long, the others also finished their meals and it was now time for Elmore to say what he hadto say.

Elmore said slowly, “Jenifer, what do you think of Becky?”

The question caught Jenifer off guard, and for a brief moment, she was short of words. When shefinally recovered herself, she cleared her throat and said, “She is a good girl.”

For a long time now, her son had avoided talking to her and her daughter was not close to hereither. When Becky married into the Casper family, Jenifer finally had someone to talk to.

Becky did not occupy any special place in her heart. She just thought that the young womanrespected her very much. She used to complain to Becky sometimes, and the latter always listenedquietly with a smile. She never had to worry about Becky gossiping about the things she had toldher. She always felt safe and comfortable talking to Becky about her worries.

But Rory did not love Becky. At least, that was what she thought.

Elmore nodded, showing that he was satisfied with Jenifer’s answer. Then he turned his attention toRory. “Rory, I’ve been thinking about it these past few days. You and Becky shouldn’t end like this.When Becky married into our family, we didn’t treat her very nicely. You left her at home and ignoredher. We didn’t treat her any better either. She was just a young girl. She deserved to be treated aspart of our family. During the three years you were married to her, Becky respected me and treatedyour mother well. But Denise could not control her bad temper and always liked to provoke her.Even a rabbit would bite when it’s provoked, not to mention a human. There were a lot of goodqualities Becky possessed and not all the things she did were bad, you know. Your brother died atsuch a young age. You are not getting any younger. I wanted to get you another girl, but I believemarriage should be based on love. Becky loves you so much. And I can see that you have feelingsfor her too. It’s clearer nowadays than ever.”

Elmore paused to breathe before he continued, “I’m old, you know. It’s best I leave you to makeyour decisions. If you love Becky, you are free to remarry her.”

After hearing what his grandfather had just said, Rory sighed. “Grandpa, Becky made it clear thatshe didn’t want to have anything to do with us anymore.”

Elmore’s face changed, but he recovered quickly. “Like I said, she is still young. She will sayanything when she’s angry. Come on, aren’t you a man? You should put in more effort! I heardDevin has been chasing her. Do you really want to let him have her?”
