Chapter 268 Would You Still Have Married Him
About half an hour later, the takeout food was brought to the door.
After she put the food on the table, Becky looked over at Devin, who had fallen asleep on the couch.His sleep was so deep that even the sound of the doorbell didn't wake him up.
With one eyebrow raised, Becky cautiously walked towards the sofa.
"Devin?"
She was met with silence.She went around the couch and tapped him on the shoulder to get his attention.
"Devin?"
In one swift movement, the man's arms shot out and wrapped around her waist.It happened so fast that Becky didn't even have the chance to resist.She put her hands on his chest to steady herself.
Even through the thin blanket and shirt, she could feel Devin's warmth.
Only then did she realize that she was now leaning heavily against Devin, with nothing but thin fabric in between them.
Devin opened his eyes and said to Becky groggily, "Sorry, I thought I was dreaming."
As he spoke, he let go of her and then rubbed the sleep from his eyes.
Becky scrambled away from him awkwardly.
"The food's here,"she said, clearing her throat.
"Oh, okay."
Devin was very gentle.
Becky glanced at him wordlessly, then turned around and walked over to the table.
Devin quickly caught up to her and grabbed the takeout bag just as she was teaching for it.
"Allow me," he said graciously.
Devin opened the bag and started to unpack the food.
"Trust me, I'm good at this."
His joke made Becky smile ever so faintly.
"Do you treat all the women you meet with so much respect?"
Hearing this, Devin paused and turned to look at Becky.
"Would you believe me if I said no?"
Becky found herself lost in Devin's alluring eyes for a moment.She didn't dare to say anything as it became abundantly clear that he wasn't joking.
Refusing to answer his question, Becky stuck out her lower lip and pouted as Devin handed her a bowl of oatmeal. From NôvelDrama.Org.
Devin also fell silent.
All of a sudden, a hush fell over the apartment.
Becky wasn't hungry, so she couldn't finish her oatmeal.Devin, on the other hand, had a big appetite.
The second Becky put down her spoon, he looked at her curiously.
"Full already?"
"Yes"
Becky glanced at her phone to check the time.
Two hours had passed.
Time went by so quickly.
Devin took a big gulp of water.
"Do you feel sick?"
"No, I'm just not hungry."
Becky shook her head.
"I see."
Devin lowered his head and finished his meal.He ate everything on the table.
Becky squinted at him and asked, "Are you full yet?"
"What? Want me to leave?"иσνєℓєвσσк.¢σмDevin asked playfully.
"It's getting late," Becky answered with a smile.
"That's true."
After a slight pause, he added, "But there's one more thing I need to do."
"What's that?"
"You don't want to go out with Rory again, right?" Becky smiled at him wryly.
"What do you think?"
Devin ignored her question.
Instead, he reached into his pocket, pulled out a velvet jewelry box, and placed it in front of Becky.
"A gift." Becky eyed the velvet box warily.
"Thanks, but I can't accept it."
"I'm giving it you by way of apology."
Becky cocked her head to the side in confusion.
"Apology for what?"
"I meant no offense when I did what I did just now."
Devin was talking about the incident on the couch.
Becky's cheeks turned red.
"Don't worry about it." Devin smiled.
"Okay.Please get some sleep, okay?"
As he spoke, he got up to leave.Becky stood up to walk him out.
"See you, Devin."
Devin bowed slightly and then went out the door.
Becky was about to lock up when she suddenly heard him calling her name.
"Becky?"
Becky looked up and met his serious gaze.
"If the man with you at the night five years ago wasn't Rory, would you still have married him?"
