Divorce Has Never Felt This Good

Chapter 246 I Don't Mind

"Devin?"

Becky called after him.

But Devin just walked into the kitchen, prepared to do whatever it was he had in mind.

Feeling annoyed and helpless, Becky remained on the sofa for a while until she summoned up the strength to get up.

Then she went straight to the kitchen to find out what Devin was up to.She'd hardly stepped past the door when she was hit by the strong smell of ginger.

Not having any interest in enduring such a smell, she decided not to go any further.

From where she was standing, she could see Devin stirring a mixture of brown sugar and ginger powder on the kitchen counter.

"What are you doing here? I thought you had a stomach ache.You should be resting”

Devin said when he noticed her presence in the kitchen.

"What are you doing?" Becky asked with a frown.

"Making a remedy.You're having severe period cramps.This should help.”

As he spoke, he was filling a glass with the mixture he had just prepared and was already stirring it in water.

When he was done, he picked up the glass and began to walk toward her.

Becky took a step back.

"I don't need it."

Her voice was firm and sharp.

Devin decided to change tack.

Putting down the glass, he picked her up in his arms again.

"Devin! Put me down!"

Becky struggled to get free from him.

"Please calm down.I don't want you to keep going through so much pain.Believe me, this thing will work. Take it as a compensation for what happened last night.”

Then he put her down on a chair right there in the kitchen.He took the glass and stirred it again before making sure that it was not too hot.

Then he took a spoonful and put it to her lips.

"Please, just open your mouth.”

Becky felt like she was a child being coaxed to take her medicine.

Helpless, she said, "I have an early meeting to attend tomorrow. have to go to bed right now." She had neither the strength nor the will to argue with him

Whether or not he understood that, she didn't care.

But as soon as she stood up to her feet, Devin put his hand around her waist and pulled her closer to himself.

"What are you afraid of, Becky?"

He put down the spoon.

"Are you afraid that I will drug you or what? Or do you think if you take this, you have to marry me?"

Becky's face turned cold.

"Devin, why do you insist on being nice to me after being refused again and again?"

"Are you saying that I'm sucking up to you?"

His face creased into a big smile.

"But I'd love to do that."

Becky had never met such a thick-skinned person before.

With every move and every statement he made, he never ceased to surprise her.

Taking advantage of this, Devin slowly made her sit back down on the chair.

Becky didn't struggle with him anymore.She was tired of fighting it.

"Fine.I'll take it."

"Good."

Devin smiled happily and quickly grabbed the glass from the table and handed it to her.He watched as Becky brought it to her lips and sipped it slowly.

People said that warm water had the same efficacy in relieving period pains.But Becky thought the concoction was better since it was sweet.

"I'm done,” she said and put down the empty glass.

She saw Devin's hand reaching out to touch her face.

At first, she thought he was going to caress her.

But to her surprise, he only cleaned her lips with his finger.

"You can get back to bed now," he said with a kind smile.

"By the way, do you mind if I sleep in your living room, just for tonight?"

Becky had wanted to say she did mind, but when she noticed the smile on Devin's face, she knew he would stay even if she said so

"Whatever," Becky answered in a tired voice.

With a yawn and a stretch, she walked out of the kitchen and went back to her room.

To her surprise, by the time she got to her room, the pain in her belly had reduced significantly. Could it be that the concoction was actually working? But she was too tired to think much about it.She crawled into bed, and before she knew it, she had fallen into a deep sleep.
