Have I Told You Lately novel Chapter 46

He calmed himself down a bit. He then grabbed her arm and stared at her face with his dark eyes and said word by word, “Didn’t you want to know what I’d think? I’ll tell you now. If the children are mine, I won't allow you to have any interactions with other men anymore.”

“…”

Rachel’s pupils dilated in shock.

She was stunned for a few seconds and his words kept replaying in her mind.

He didn’t love her but he wouldn’t set her free because of the children.

Rachel was bitterly disappointed and she looked at him as if he was already a stranger.

H…how could he be so selfish?

She didn’t even do anything wrong to him all these while.

Rachel felt so overwhelmed. She could only calm herself down after some time. Then she looked at him with a teasing smile on her face and asked him in an adenoidal tone, “Kenneth…Are you forcing me to get an abortion?”

Looking at the change of his expression after hearing what she said, she laughed out loud until her eyes sore. She then said harshly, “Never let me see you again, or else I will not keep the babies!”

She didn’t care if this means she admitted who the children belonged to. The wider the smile Rachel had on her face, the more pain she is feeling in her heart. However, nothing beat the disappointment she had in him.

She thought even if they didn’t love each other, they could still divorce in peace.

Naïve.

Rachel wrenched herself from his grasp. She smiled and closed her eyes. Exhaustion was written all over her face. She then turned around and left without saying anything.

Kenneth was standing behind her. He tried to take her arms but all he could hold onto was her sleeves. He wanted to say something but he was restricted by utmost restraint and forbearance in his blood.

He didn’t want to go to his office since the beginning. He stood for a while then left the place too.

…

Rachel arrived home after work in the evening.
