Have I Told You Lately novel Chapter 17

Theresa didn’t ask any further questions, she simply said, “There are so many people in this world, there will appear someone who you love and also love you back, sadness doesn’t last forever, your happiness is the most important thing.”

Rachel made a sniffing sound, and mumbled in approval.

“Kenneth will sure come looking for me, but I don’t want to see him, please pass the divorce certificate to him and let him sign it.”

“I know.”

Rachel then made a call to Osmond requesting to stay at his place. Osmond didn’t ask her anything but just gave her the password to his door. Rachel brought alone Monica and left Theresa’s place.

The next afternoon, Kenneth drove all the way from J City and reached Theresa’s place.

Theresa opened the door and looked at him with a calm expression. “Anything I can help you?”

“Mother, is Rachel here?” Kenneth asked politely but his heart is definitely in a turmoil.

When he returned to the company, he only knew that the representative of Vantage Inc. was Rachel, and she had left behind a ring in his office. When he called her, all he could hear was her crying and asking for a divorce, her attitude seemed to be determined.

He was impeded by a few meetings before he could board a plane and rush here this afternoon.

“She’s not here, but she left something behind.”

Theresa turned around and disappeared into the house, and Kenneth took this chance to survey the interior of the house. When he confirmed that Rachel was really not here, he felt defeated.

Theresa handed Kenneth a document.

Kenneth got a glimpse of a few words on that document and his face became hideous. “Mother, I am not planning to divorce with Rachel.”

“But she had made up her mind to divorce with you.” Theresa said, “Kenneth Shawn, we never mistreated you, and Rachel has always been loyal to you. But if things can’t proceed well from here on, there’s nothing we can do.”

“I know I’m always busy with work, I have told her…”

“Are you sure you’re really busy with work?”

Theresa interrupted him. “Kenneth, have you ever loved my daughter all this while?”

Kenneth was standing there rooted to the spot as he remained silent.
