Have I Told You Lately novel Chapter 34

Originally, Rachel planned to eat with Osmond outside, but on their way to the restaurant, her mom called him and asked when she will come back. But when Rachel told her that she will have dinner with Osmond and Monica, she was delighted and asked her to bring them back to have dinner together.

Rachel of course knew what Theresa was scheming. She wanted to refuse, but due to the presence of the two, she couldn’t say out the refusing words and had to bring them home. Osmond then headed to the kitchen to help her.

Rachel stood awkwardly in the living room, rubbing her forehead helplessly.

As a pregnant woman, she might not be invited to help them cook the meal, so she’d better wait in the living room. But she somehow felt embarrassed. She promised him to consider about marrying him; however, it had been a long time and she still couldn’t make a choice.

She couldn’t imagine what it would be like if she fell for Osmond or even married him.

Just as she was lost in thoughts, Monica, who stayed by her side, tugged at her clothes.

Rachel turned around and looked at her tenderly, “What’s the matter, Monica?”

Monica blinked her big eyes, pressed her lips and then pointed at the TV.

Rachel smiled, tilting her head, “You want to watch cartoons, right?”

Before Rachel gave him a yes nod, she had picked up the remote control and turned on the TV. She then picked her up into her arms, “Auntie will watch it together with you.”

Now that she couldn’t make a decision, she decided to watch cartoons to relax herself.

When Osmond came out of the kitchen and walked towards the living room carrying the plates, he saw Rachel and Monica cuddling on the sofa and watching the TV with identical expressions on their faces. He paused and looked at Rachel more affectionally, as surges of warmth well up in his heart.

When all the dishes were served on the table, the two were still watching TV whole-heartedly.

Theresa shook her head and smiled helplessly. Just as she was about to call them loudly, Osmond chuckled, “Auntie, you may frighten them. I’ll come and remind them.”

Rachel, not knowing whether she was lost in thoughts or was immersed in the cartoon, didn’t notice Osmond’s approach. She suddenly felt that there was a warm puff in her ear, “Rach, the meal is ready.”
