Have I Told You Lately novel Chapter 4

Kenneth rolled his sleeve up, showing his lean arm. “I’ll make the dinner.”

“Here’s the apron.” Rachel tipped her toes and took the apron from the shelf. She spread it out, wanted to help him put it on. “Your shirt is white in color; it would be difficult to clean if there’s oil stain.”

Kenneth gave her a glimpse and turned around, Rachel then quickly put the apron on him.

As both of them were doing the house chores, they chose a bigger size when buying the apron. Although he was tall, it was still amusing to see him wearing this piece of cloth.

Rachel did not leave the kitchen but stayed at the entrance watching him bustling around instead. For a man displaying elegance, it was still pleasant to watch him doing these kinds of chores. “Well, why did you come back today?”

Although during their marriage they had agreed that unless Kenneth needed to go for a business trip, he must go home every weekend, yet she thought he would not come back when he had done so yesterday.

Kenneth was busy washing the vegetables and did not turn his head back. “It’s weekend.”

“Oh.” Rachel’s eyes dimmed.

Of course, if not for the agreement on contract, it turned out that he would not come back even if it was his own apartment.

“Was there anything you wanted to talk to me on phone this morning?” Kenneth asked. He explained, “It’s my assistant who picked up the call and she told me someone’s looking for me. I realized it’s you when I check my phone.”

Assistant?

What kind of assistant would address her boss that affectionately?

“I just wanted to ask whether you’re coming back or not.” She still did not manage to ask him why he did not save her number as she felt uncomfortable just by listening to what he said at the beginning. She turned and went to the living room.

She browsed through Weibo listlessly and felt anxious after a while. She then unconsciously opened Baidu.

When she regained her consciousness, she realized she was searching ‘why my husband did not save my number’, ‘husband’s assistant being affectionate towards husband’ and so on all over on Baidu.

She could not help but tap the bunch of comments open, which was all about ‘your husband’s been derailed, be careful’, and ‘check your husband’s phone to gather evidence for divorce to get more money afterwards’…She gave a wry smile and felt bitter inside.

It was at this moment, Kenneth carried a dish out from the kitchen and called her, “Come and eat.”

“Oh, yes.” Rachel hurriedly kept away her phone.
