Back to Love: A New Beginning
Chapter 238

Chapter 238:.

After responding to the text, I went back to bed and slept more comfortably than the days before this one. According to a physiological theory, negative emotions used to be abbreviated after every fight, so I had a good sleep.

Suddenly, I was awakened by a faint sound.

When I opened my eyes, I realized that it was already dawn.

There was a song playing in the background. When I got up to open the door, the song became clearer. As I reached the stairs, I saw Becky sitting on the couch, playing the guitar and singing.

When I went downstairs to approach her, she seemed oblivious to my presence and was still singing. If I’m not mistaken, the guitar she was playing was the same one that was hanging in Derek’s room.

This same guitar was the reason I saw Derek frown for the first time.

“I’d advise you not to play that guitar,” I told him.

Suddenly, Becky stopped playing the guitar and singing, and gently caressed the guitar between her hands.

A bright smile appeared on her face, making her look pleased. “I know. For my sister’s sake, Derek hasn’t played this guitar in a long time.

Have you ever seen him play it?

I’ve seen him play a guitar before, and he looked so elegant.”

I tried to stay calm and reminded myself not to give in to his provocations.

Seeing that I didn’t respond, Becky continued to hurt me with her words. “I hear this is your second marriage.

Derek is a soft-hearted man. He probably married you out of sympathy,” she said.

She was so mean and biting. I wondered if these were her true colors. Because of Derek’s absence, Becky didn’t hesitate to show me her true personality, only to infuriate me.

I took a few deep breaths, smiling at her like she was a despicable cad.

Judging by her reaction and how dumbfounded she was, I could tell she wasn’t expecting my reaction.

Not wanting to waste any more time with this hypocrite, I decided to go to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.

I noticed a bag of takeout on the coffee table, so I deduced that she must have ordered it this morning. As I ate breakfast at the dining room table, he sat down across from me just to annoy me again.

I continued to eat my breakfast in silence, pretending not to see her.

“I’ve chased your horrible cat away,” she suddenly said.

Filled with fury, I raised my head and scowled at her. Seeing my reaction, she smiled in satisfaction and continued to infuriate me.

“That stupid cat scratched my face last time! It’s only natural that I teach him a lesson. Oh, you want to know where I threw that precious cat of yours?

It’s not that far away. I threw the cat in the river up ahead. Do you think your cat can swim? Because if he can’t swim, I’m sure he’s resigned to his fate.”

The weather was cold today. Even if Ugly didn’t drown in the river, he would have frozen to death.

When I thought about how Feo must have struggled to get out of the river, my heart ached. I tried to compose myself and held back the urge to slap Becky.

Finally, I slammed the fork down on the table. With a face distorted in anger, I said, “Listen, you little bitch. Life is like an unscripted drama, and it all depends on how good an actor you are. You can act your own way, but you mustn’t overdo it. If the story goes too far, you may end up with an unexpected ending. Take care of yourself.” Becky was stunned.

I didn’t want to talk to her anymore, so I went upstairs, changed my clothes, grabbed my bag and left the villa. There was a blue car parked across the road. I walked straight to it, opened the passenger seat door and got in.

“Eve, what’s wrong, why did you call me so early? You’re acting strange.” Earlier, I noticed that Louise was sitting in the driver’s seat, very bored. But when she saw me, she was instantly excited.

She was so angry with Becky that she couldn’t breathe evenly.

I stared at the villa door and said, “We have a secret mission to accomplish.”

“Is it because of that bitch?” asked Louise.

Before I could say anything, I saw Becky walking out of the villa with a bag in her hand. A cab happened to be passing by. She stopped it and got in.

I pointed to the cab and said, “Lulu, follow that cab!”. Louise gave me a suspicious look.

But nonetheless, she started the car and followed the cab, keeping a safe distance from it.

“What exactly are we doing here, is there something going on between that woman and Derek?” asked Louise. It was then that I told her everything that had happened these past two days.

After hearing the story, Louise became furious.

“What the hell, who would have thought she’d be a shameless, scheming bitch?”. Soon, the cab pulled into the driveway of an upscale restaurant. Louise stopped a few feet from the cab.

After getting out of the cab, Becky walked straight into the restaurant. I rolled down the window and saw a man coming out of the restaurant. “Miss Nash, Mr. Sullivan has been waiting for you for a long time,” he said to Becky.

Flabbergasted, Louise exclaimed, “What the hell, is he really on a date with Derek here?”

I clenched my purse and bit my lower lip. “I think she’s here on a date with Derek’s father.”

“What, is that true?”

Louise gaped at me. I looked at her and replied, “We’ll know when we go in and see for ourselves.”
