Have I Told You Lately novel Chapter 36

There were only breathing sounds in the room. Sitting there still for several minutes, Rachel didn’t receive any phone call.

In the end, she gritted her teeth and turned her phone off, before going to bed.

Wondering if she felt disappointed, Rachel didn’t feel sleepy for a while. She tossed and turned on the bed; even her ears were sensitive enough to honking sounds from the community gate clearly.

That jackass!

Rachel scolded the man inwardly several times. Hugging Monica, she shut her eyes and forced herself to sleep.

……

The next morning, Theresa was stunned for a while at the sight of Rachel. “What happened? Didn’t you sleep well last night? Did Monica wake up last night?”

Rachel scratched her hair, drowsy, and shook her head. “No, she didn’t. I slept well…”

If it weren’t for that bastard’s call, she would have had a sound sleep.

It was fine that he called her. But why on earth did he keep silent for a long time? As a result, she woke up again and again, with his face lingering in her mind.

Alright, she admitted that she still cared about him.

How could she forget him, a man she loved for three years, that easily?

“So your eyes are swollen after having double-eyelid surgery in your dream?” Theresa busted her lie coldly.

“...”

Rachel was chocked by her words and fled back to her bedroom. “Monica is awake. I need to dress her up.”

After breakfast, Rachel used a warm towel to make the swelling down. Then she put on light makeup and looked better.

Checking the time, she was about to call Osmond, but he called her first.

“Hello, Osmond, are you on the way?”

Osmond apologized on the phone, “Rach, I’m sorry. I didn’t have time to inform you earlier. At five o’clock, I received an emergency call. I’ve left N City. I’ll be back in the afternoon. But I’ve asked a servant to pick Monica up later.”

Rachel was stunned. “A servant? Don’t you hire a servant?”

He had told her that several servants he hired were bitten by Monica, and he didn’t dare to hire one anymore. Thus he had to take Monica with him all the time.

“She’s the last one. I asked her to help me for another half a day.”

Rachel kept silent, while Theresa frowned as soon as she heard that. “That’s not a good idea. Since you’ve fired her, how can you trust her and let her take care of the child? Well, if you’re busy, I can help you take care of her. I’m available.”

She glanced at Monica. Rachel also felt it was a bad idea. “If you don’t mind, let my mon take care of her. You can pick her up in the afternoon. If the servant is bitten by Monica again, you’ll be in trouble again.”
