Have I Told You Lately novel Chapter 54

Rachel suddenly felt it reasonable, "Oh, it turns out that you never forget your ex-girlfriend. I didn’t expect you to be so love-struck.”

Miles shook his head, his eyes clear and innocent. "No, I was together with her when I was a teenager. Now I can’t remember her appearance.”

"..."

Rachel felt a little embarrassed.

It turned out that this kid was still a pure and innocent virgin. Then she thought she couldn't joke with him casually next time.

Rachel was very grateful when the waitress walker over bringing the dishes, which broke the embarrassment. She picked up the chopsticks and said, “Let’s eat.”

After all the dishes were served, Miles stared at the dishes on the table for a long while, dumbfounded, and then asked the waitress, “No more?”

"Sir, all the dishes you ordered are served."

"Oh, well, I see."

After the waitress left, Miles looked at Rachel, who was concentrating on eating, and joked, “Manager Lewis, I said I’ll treat you. Why are you saving money for me? Are you looking down upon my economic capability?”

All the dishes on the table or were light dishes made by vegetables, except one green pepper with few shredded pork.

Was she afraid that he could not afford the bill?

Rachel gulped down her meal without raising her head, “Didn’t I tell you that I like light dishes? Plus, you said I’m overweight, now I want to lose weight. Just eat. If you dare to say anymore, I will leave soon.”

Miles had no choice but to give up.

When they finished the meal, it was already dark outside and Miles had to leave first. But Rachel was not in a hurry to go home and wandered around nearby.

She was now in the center of the city, which was brightly lit and lively.

Rachel felt that it had had been a long time since she had such an opportunity to relax herself. She walked aimlessly along the sidewalk.

Before the divorce, she always longed for the opportunity to walk side by side with Kenneth after the meal. That might be her purest and simplest wish at that time.

But every time when they went out, they would just shop at the supermarket and had had never gone to other places because he was very busy.

Thinking about this, Rachel felt it quite ridiculous. How could she endure such treatment for three years?

Being a bit upset, she walked for a while absent-mindedly and was then startled by the ringing of her phone.

"Hey, Lillian."

"Rach, where are you now?" A woman's tired voice came from the other end of the phone.

"I was outside."

"Are you busy?"

"No. What's the matter?" Rachel stopped.

"I just got off work. Where are you, I will go find you."

Rachel looked around and replied, "Well, but I think you should go home to have a rest, you sound very tired.”

"No, I want to have a talk with you. Let’s meet and talk about it.”

"Okay."

Lillian hastily finished the talk and hung up the phone.

Rachel was a little worried. She sent her a location and walked into a café.

Half an hour later, a woman with delicate makeup yet a tired expression pushed open the glass door and came in.

"Have you eaten?" Rachel stood up.

"Not yet. I didn't have any appetite." Lillian took off her coat and slumped into the chair as if all her strengths were all drained away.
