Have I Told You Lately novel Chapter 20

Kenneth finally signed on the crumpled document and put down the pen before retrieving his jacket and left.

He did not say even one word throughout the whole process.

Rachel could not hold back any longer, she buried herself in Theresa’s embrace and cried miserably.

If she wanted to preserve the child, she had to get a divorce. If she was still married to him, the child would be gone under Kenneth’s mercilessness. Hence, she had come up with a plan to put on a show with Osmond and Theresa, with the purpose of forcing Kenneth to agree to the divorce.

But when he really signed his name on the certificate, Rachel felt that her interiors were being blended together. She felt really miserable.

Kenneth was downstairs without him realizing it, and when he encountered someone who was smoking, he offered some money to him, “Sell me the cigarette and the lighter.”

When the person saw that he had offered one hundred yuan, he hurriedly gave him the cigarettes and the lighter.

Kenneth lighted up one cigarette.

He had never liked the smell of smoke, and he only smoked when he was negotiating business. But now, there was a void in his heart, he wanted to find something to fill in that void, and smoking could somehow manage that.

When he was raising his hand, Kenneth only noticed the platinum ring on his finger, and he slowly produced a velvet box from his pocket.

When he was going on business trips in Singapore, he had passed by a jewellery shop and recalled that he had bought Rachel a diamond ring worth thirty thousand yuan when they were just married. She had always been wearing it, and looked as if she never removed it.

Maybe he subconsciously wanted to make up for his mistakes, so Kenneth had made an arrangement with the manager of the shop to create a couple ring. He was able to obtain them the second day, and they were made by platinum. Afraid he would lose it in a foreign place, he wore it quickly once he had gotten it. For the female counterpart of the ring, he had sent it back to the country.

He was originally planning a surprise for Rachel, but he never thought that before he could give her this ring, the ring that she owned was returned to him too. This was definitely a ‘surprise’ for him!
