Have I Told You Lately novel Chapter 65

Kenneth didn’t force him. He smiled and look at the direction in front of him, “You are a good man, Mr. Cox.”

“That’s an overstatement, Mr. Shawn. It’s just that I prefer a simple life and I want nothing more than that.”

Kenneth remained silent.

A few minutes later, both of the guys walked into the coffee shop and seated themselves.

Osmond seated Monica carefully and gave her some snacks. He then ordered two cups of coffee, organize his thoughts and said, “I see Mr. Shawn is still holding onto Rachel?”

Kenneth sat in the chair casually and stared at Monica who was enjoying her snacks, “This is between us, I don’t think Mr. Cox has much to do with it.”

However, what he was thinking is, “Rachel likes this kind of homely guy now? One who is good with children, good in cooking and would take care of the old folks?”

Other than taking care of children, he knew how to do all the other things. Don’t Rachel think it is ridiculous to divorce him and remarried another guy who’s identical with him?

What did she want exactly?

Love?

Kenneth didn’t think Rachel loves Osmond.

Living?

He didn’t think their life was that bad back then. He would do whatever she wants him to and he never argues with her. Even when she said she didn’t want to do house chores, he agreed with that. Wasn’t those enough for her?

“But I’m a lawyer. Didn’t it occur to Mr. Shawn that you are going to bring troubles to Rachel?” Osmond frowned and looked at Kenneth in a piercing glare.

Kenneth was stunned, “What are you saying?”

“Your mother.”

Kenneth suddenly realized what Osmond was talking about.

“I know what to do with her. Before everything is settled, I wouldn’t let anyone knows.”

“Settled?” Osmond smiled and stroked Monica, “The current condition of Rachel shows that she doesn’t possess the ability to raise the children. What do you plan to do? She isn’t going to remarry you. So other than paying alimony, all you can do is to take away the children by law. Your mother will definitely not going to accept the first option but I think she is going to be excited to bring about the second option.”

“…”

Kenneth didn’t know what to say.

After a while, he looked at Osmond and asked in a lowered tone, “What do you suggest me to do, Mr. Cox?”

His mother was a big trouble. He knew her well. If she found out about the children, she’ll not let go of them.

Osmond stirred his coffee and voice out calmly, “As compared to money, she will choose the children. Mr. Shawn, you could pretend that you didn’t know about this and stay away from her. After the babies are born, I think she will give you a chance to visit them.”

This was exactly Rachel’s plan.

Kenneth smiled without even thinking too much about the suggestion. His eyes are covered with coldness, “Is Mr. Cox planning to take over my place? I’m not interested in any legal consultations. The children are mine and I’m their father. We each have our own children to take care of. You should spend more time on her. That specialist I was telling you just now, he is really great.”

Kenneth pointed at Monica with his chin. He stood up and said in a polite but cold tone, “Thank you for your coffee. I have something else to attend to now. Goodbye.”

Osmond's eyes darkened. There were some inexplicable emotions in his eyes.
