| Roger began to see his situation in a different light. He still ached at the rejection, but he realized that he had enjoyed more than two decades of reliable work, which had allowed him to prosper and provide for his family. |
In the quote, I think that 'ached at the rejection' is not correct.
It seems that 'ached for the rejection' or 'ached with the rejection' is correct rather than 'ached at the rejection'.
Could you let me know if my opinion is right or wrong with proper explanations?
Thanks. |

No, it is proper as is. It means that he still felt very bad at the thought of the rejection (getting fired?).
