Have I Told You Lately novel Chapter 45

“Rachel.” Osmond walked towards her and received Monica who was lying in her arms. He showed a shallow smile, “She’s sleeping so soundly.”

“Yes, she’s really obedient.” Rachel caressed her tiny forehead, her eyes gleaming with gentleness. “Let her in the car soon, or else she’ll get sick.”

Osmond nodded and at the same time saw Kenneth who was appearing behind them. He was hesitant before addressing him, “Mr. Kenneth.”

Kenneth had stopped in his tracks when he saw them talking to each other. In his head, an image of a family of three had formed and a stabbing pain was bothering his chest, causing him to be short of breath as he condemned the sight in front of him.

“I thought Miss Rachel was in a hurry to leave because of work, but it turns out you’re here to see Osmond.”

Rachel froze briefly, but she recovered and grabbed Osmond’s arms as she flashed him a smile, “You are right, he’s going somewhere after this, of course I have to cherish the chance to see him as much as I can. Mr. Kenneth, you have so many women beside you, it must be hard for you to understand this feeling.”

Osmond tilted his head and smiled at her with a pair of loving eyes. He passed the child to her and said, “Put her in the car first, let me have a word with Mr. Kenneth.”

Rachel looked wary as she looked at him, unsure what he was going to do next.

Osmond extended his hand and caressed her head gently, “Go.”

Kenneth’s jet black eyes were locked onto his actions as his mood worsened a few degrees. His hands which was in his pockets shifted around briefly.

“I heard that your subsidiary company is located in the opposite building?” Osmond approached him and said, his tone flat.

Kenneth pressed his lips and laughed casually, “Yes, the geographical location here is not bad.”

“Is it because of her?” Osmond went straight to the point, but his tone sounded like he was asking about the weather.

“What do you think, Osmond?” Kenneth did not waver one bit, his gaze which was locked on him a deep and lonely black, and there was a sense of oppression hiding within them.

Osmond stared at him, and smiled meaningfully, “Mr. Kenneth, you’re a smart guy. I don’t need to remind you something you are able to notice yourself. She doesn’t like you doing such things, why not you let go of her and yourself at the same time?”

“Osmond, you’re quite capable as the third wheel, and you seem to like something that I once discarded. But what you are doing won’t guarantee that the child in her belly will address you as his or her dad.” Kenneth stared at him coldly, and his gaze was full of sarcasm.

Osmond’s eyes deepened at his words, and he looked back at Rachel who was by the car. He smiled faintly and said, “I’m not as competitive as you, what I want the most is the time to accompany my family. My daughter likes her, and I believe that the babies will first see my face after they’re born. I don’t think I will be disliked that much. As for how I’m going to be addressed as, I don’t think you have to worry about that.”

“What if that child is mine?” Kenneth squinted and shot a sharp gaze at him.

Although this was a mere question, but he sounded as if he was confident of what he was talking about.

Osmond did not break his composure, and his tone was tinged with a distant indifference, “I don’t think that’s too important. What’s important is… I can give her what she wants.”

After he finished his sentence, a curl appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he tidied his buttoned-up shirt before walking towards Rachel.

What she had always wanted was a complete family full of her loved ones, and a lifetime of happiness and tranquillity. Someone who had gone through a failed marriage could only understand how precious that feeling was, and it was something Kenneth could never provide.

Rachel had been standing by the car and watching them for some time, and she couldn’t help feeling nervous, “What… what are you guys talking about?”

“Nothing, I’m just reporting to him about my recent sales performance, after all Dragon Age is a big company, it is rare for me to be able to see the President. I have to cherish my chance.” Osmond smiled while saying.
