Chapter 256 She Just Doesn't Care
Becky visited this restaurant only one time before.She ordered the most popular dishes on the menu because the place was still unfamiliar to her.
Sitting across from her, Jenifer listened to Becky's order and then ordered a soup and dish of her own.
The waiter took the menus and left after the two women finished their orders.
Only Becky and Jenifer remained in the room.
Jenifer thought she knew what she'd say to Becky.But now she found herself speechless.She knew Becky was not like what she used to be.
There was no use in reminding her they were once family.
Rory was usually reserved with Jenifer, but he came and asked her about what happened with Becky over the past three years.
Thinking of this, she plucked up the courage and said, "I apologize, Becky.I know you're busy, but I still asked you to come out."
Becky sipped her coffee in silence.
After hearing what Jenifer said, she smiled slightly.
"It's okay.I should be the one apologizing.You've invited me out so many times and I couldn't go.I was also late today.Sorry for keeping you waiting so long."
Becky's words were polite but cold.It was as if she had never been married to Jenifer's son.
The aloofness of Becky's words made it awkward for Jenifer.
Silence filled the room.
Becky did not feel any awkwardness.
She thought there must be something wrong since Jenifer had tried to get an audience with her for so many times.
Jenifer's quiet demeanor could be deceiving, Becky knew.She understood the Casper family and knew Jenifer was quite selfish.She had treated Jenifer well in the past but had gotten nothing from the older woman in return.
Becky poured coffee in both of their cups and put down the coffeepot. This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
"What can I do for you?"
Jenifer nodded and retrieved a necklace from her purse.
"Rory's grandmother gave me this years ago.It's been passed down for generations.Rory's brother is gone so it's not a choice between giving it to you or his wife.I'm sorry to waste so much of your time since you are busy.For three years, we were a family.I was not very good to you before, but I know you still love Rory.He asked me a great deal about you a few days ago.Although Rory is not close to me, he is still my son and I know him well.I can see that he had feelings for you back when you were both married.The extended matter between his dad and me was an influence on him.He's hidden his feelings and doesn't say enough from his heart.I know that he loves you.It was a mistake for two young people to have wasted time on past grievances no matter who was right.Everything has calmed down since your divorce almost a year ago, so I hope you can give your relationship with Rory another chance."
Becky only smiled throughout Jenifer's words.
The waiter came in with their food when Jenifer finished speaking.
"Let's have dinner before we talk," Becky said.She handed Jenifer some silverware for the meal.
Jenifer looked at Becky.
Becky was still smiling as if she hadn't said anything at all.
Jenifer knew Becky had heard her but didn't care.1 .
