Have I Told You Lately novel Chapter 56

They chatted for a long time; Rachel occasionally looked out of the window. Her eyes were in a trance and she looked lost in her thoughts.

After a long time, someone patted her shoulder. Coming out of her trance, she looked around and saw that Lillian was already standing beside her and her expressions looked gentler than before.

"Good news?" Seeing her expressions, Rachel didn’t need to ask her to know what happened.

Lillian, who rarely showed any embarrassment, pursed her lips, sat down and held Rachel’s arm. She said softly, "He said he didn't know how he felt about me, but he didn't want to see me sad. He said he would take responsibility, if I were to become his girlfriend, he would be willing to."

“…”

Rachel was stunned for a few seconds, and had no words to say.

Why did it feel like she just met another Kenneth Shawn?

If you don't love someone, then you don’t love them; it’s that simple. Why do they always want to fu@king take responsibility? As if their manners and responsible behavior can heal broken hearts?

Not wanting Lillian to feel sad, Rachel did not say anything; she just smiled softly and said to comfort her, "It looks like Quentin is not a total scum-bag, he is still a man.”

"He’s a useless fu@king as$hole! Talking to him is like banging your head on the wall. "Lillian directly said what Rachel didn't dare to say out loud, her eyes mocking.

Rachel smiled awkwardly, "So, what did you tell him? Did you accept? "

Lillian sat up straight, looked at her and declared lightly, "I said that we both should take some days to calm down and not see each other during that time."

"What was his reaction?"

Lillian shrugged her shoulders, not showing if she was sad or happy, "He didn't respond. After a long silence, he just said one word: okay. He’s really indecisive."

Rachel looked at her for a few seconds and smiled softly, "It's clear that you are not ready for what should be done, right? It is possible that he is trying to test you, by hiding what he feels; just to see what you decide on? "

"Shit!" Lillian gritted her teeth and cursed under her breath in hatred, "He’s really a cheating liar, that useless fu@ker!"

Rachel said disdainfully, "But you’re still so into him."

“…”

After that Lillian was almost in a good mood, Rachel had dinner with her, and then drove her back.

At the weekend, Rachel was free and didn’t have to work over time. The weather was fine, so she helped Theresa clean up the house.

As she was emptying the vase of dead flowers, the doorbell rang.

Theresa called from the balcony, "Rach! Can you open the door?"

"Okay."

Rachel had already guessed who would come to visit this early in the morning. As soon as she opened the door, a small dumpling ran into her and hugged her tightly.

Rachel was startled, looking down she saw Monica’s small face radiant with joy. She greeted her, "Hi! Sweetie!"

Osmond who was standing behind Monica, pulled her back nervously and rebuked her lightly, “Next time, you can’t bump into Auntie like that, you will hurt her."

Monica probably couldn’t understand the explanation of pregnancy so Osmond had to change his way of saying.

Monica looked at Rachel with guilt, and then nodded her head, confused.

Rachel laughed and opened the door wide, "It’s okay, Osmond. Come in."

Osmond nodded, holding a bouquet of roses in his arms which he handed to Rachel, "For you!"

Rachel was startled, looking at the big bouquet of red roses in front of her. Then she took it and said with a stiff smile, "Thank you, Osmond. You didn’t have to do that."
