Have I Told You Lately novel Chapter 33

Rachel’s heart missed one beat. He did investigate her.

She raises her hand to break free from his confinement and said with a serious yet tied expression, “Kenneth, I have no mood to argue with you today. You can go.”

Kenneth, who intended to probe into something else, swallowed the question when seeing her tired expression.

He could understand her mood and knew that it was not an appropriate time to talk about this. However, he was clear that if he missed this opportunity, it would be hard for him to meet her again.

"Rachel..." He softened his tone, caressing her cheek gently, but after a while, he put down his hand helplessly, "Let’s talk about it later."

Rachel's eyelashes quivered. But she didn’t reply or say something.

"Have a good rest. I'll go back first." Kenneth stroked her head looking at her meaningfully and turned around.

Although he had an impulse to stay with her, Osmond was waiting for her outside. So apparently, his existence was superfluous.

Just as he walked two steps away, Rachel, who had been silent, suddenly spoke, "Why are you eager to probe into whether it’s your child? What do you want to do? If… it’s really yours, are you going to shoulder the responsibility of bringing up the child? Or, do you plan to remarry me?”

Kenneth froze and paused. He turned around and stared at her for several seconds, and then spoke in a low voice, “If it’s mine… Then you are the one to make a decision.”

Of course he would shoulder his responsibility of bringing up the child. And as for remarrying her, he was not reluctant to the choice; instead, he even felt a bit delighted when thinking of the possibility.

Rachel suddenly looked into his eyes and said expressionlessly, “Oh, are you willing to remarry me?”

“I didn’t plan to divorce you.”

Rachel sneered, “You planned to divorce me one year later. You didn’t want to spend the rest of your life with me, but now, for the sake of the child, you choose to waste your life on me. Kenneth Shawn, where’s your manliness? Can you think carefully about what you really want?”

Kenneth’s thin lips curled into a line. He stared at her and said nothing.

Rachel forced a smile, “It was your dad and my dad who forced you to marry me. Now your dad has passed away, my dad is put in jail, and you become the president of Dragon Age. No one would have the ability to force you now, so you can fight for everything you want, such as the woman you like and the life you want. What’s the need to come back to me and pester me?”

Looking at the woman standing in front of him, Kenneth was a bit absent-minded.

What’s his wish?

What does he want?

Rachel naturally didn’t have the patience to wait for his answer. She walked towards him while stating flatly, “It’s not your child. And I’ll not remarry you. I’ve promised Osmond to think carefully about marrying him.”

When she passed her, she chuckled and added, “Goodbye, Mr. Shawn.”

Kenneth secretly clenched his fists.

...

Time went by. Rachel commuted from home to company as usual every day. But pregnancy made her feel sick, especially it was early pregnancy. Fearing that her colleagues would discover it, she had to scurry around the company enduring the sickness as well as the soreness and drowsiness on her legs.

She was quite regretful that she didn’t choose to be a programmer before, who just needed to focus on programming and didn’t need to care about other matters.

After assigning all tasks to her subordinates, Rachel walked back her office and slumped herself into the sofa, panting while rubbing her ankles.

"Knock! Knock! Knock!"

Rachel was startled when she heard the knock on the door, and hurriedly sat up, "Come in."

"Manager Lewis, this is the scheme you want, and I've modified it."
