Have I Told You Lately novel Chapter 55

Lillian raised her eyes heavenward, “Am I as silly as you are? Hey, you’re raising child for Kenneth even if you’re divorced.

“…”

Seeing her thoughts and worries being exposed, Rachel became unhappy, “Who will raise child for him? It’s my baby. Plus, is it necessary to make sly little digs at me?”

Lillian glanced at her apologetically, “Sorry, honey, I was wrong.”

She knew what happened between Rachel and Kenneth, but blurted out that hurting sentence without a second thought.

Lily said angrily, “Then why did you meet with me? You know all and don’t need my suggestions. But as for the things you don’t want to do, my persuasion won’t work. You can get the answer from Quentin. If you don’t dare to have a talk with him, you’ll never get the answer.”

Rachel hadn’t seen Quentin before and had no idea about whether he was a good man or not. She just heard Lillian praise him very often.

Lillian suddenly became expressionless and silent.

The two kept silent for a long while. In the end, the vibration of Lillian’s phone broke the silence.

Lillian was a bit nervous, “It’s from Quentin.”

Rachel stared at the vibrating phone and then glanced at Lillian, “Answer?”

Lillian hesitated.

Rachel read her mind with only one glance, “Are you affair that he would refuse you and let you down? If you confess to him but are then refused, you won’t have the courage to work under him, right?”

Lillian pressed her lips and didn’t reply.

Rachel sighed and pushed the phone to her, “Answer it. Let’s see what he’s thinking, okay? If he refuses to commit what he’d done last night, then you will be completely disappointed at him and will not swoon over him. If he likes you, then that’s so good!”

Lillian was persuaded and looked up into Rachel. She hesitated for a while, and then answered the phone.

“Lillian, where are you? I want to have a talk with you, for things happened last night.”
