Have I Told You Lately novel Chapter 76

It was a little bit late and they had ordered some dishes for dinner in the nearby restaurant.

“Mom, I will go on a business trip tomorrow and you have to take good care of yourself when you are alone at home these days.” When eating, Rachel looked at Theresa.

“Will you go on a business trip?” Theresa changed her expression, raised her head and said without thinking. “You can refuse it or I will accompany you on this business trip.”

Her daughter was definitely more important than work. She would be frightened to death if her daughter went on a business trip when pregnant.

Rachel was speechless.

“I can’t refuse it.”

Theresa continued to eat and put a piece of meat for Monica. She calmly said, “You can buy a ticket for me when we go back.”

Rachel hopelessly held her head and said, “I am going to work instead of travelling. Why do you want to go with me?”

“I don’t want to go with you too. If you are not pregnant, I will join a tour group for relaxing.”

“…”

Rachel really wanted to roll her eyes. Her mother dared not travel by herself and maybe she wouldn’t even dare to leave the City N.

Rachel knew that she was worried about her and explained, “I’m not alone and there are two assistants will go with me. Just a few days and I promise I will call you and tell you everything.”

Theresa frowned and firmly said, “No, these two assistants don’t know you are pregnant. If they haven’t taken good care of you, I will be very worried about you.”

Rachel pulled out her hair and put down the chopsticks helplessly. She took a sip of water and said, “How will others think if I go on a business trip with my mother? And how should I explain to them?”

Theresa’s lips curled and said, “It’s too easy. You can tell them that I want to have a trip in City J so I come with you together. I will not stay with you all the time.”

“…”

Rachel didn’t know how to refuse her. She put her hands on the table and stared at her mother glumly.

Osmond who kept silent for a long time suddenly burst into laughter.

Focused on arguing, Rachel remembered that Osmond was also here at this time. She looked at him and both laughed. She shook her head.

Osmond looked at Theresa and said, “Madame, you don’t have to worry about her. I can go to the City J to see her at any time and everything will be ok.”

Theresa immediately shook her head and said, “It is so hard for you to rush from place to place and you have to work too.”

“Never mind, I always work in different place and I can go to the City J to see her on the way. And I will be back that night.”

Theresa looked at him and she was a little tempted. She said, “Really? It may troubles you a lot.”

Osmond lowered his head and wiped his daughter's mouth. He looked at Rachel and smiled. “Never mind, Rach is pregnant now and I also worry about her. I will help her if she needs.”

Rachel forced herself to smile and lowered her head to eat. She pretended not to hear him.

She would not trouble Osmond. But she had to persuade her mother not to go with her firstly. As for other things, she would talk to him secretly.

Theresa looked at Rachel hesitatingly and then nodded quickly. She said, “Ok. I will be relieved if you go with her and she won’t be alone in other place.”

Rachel lowered her head and ate. When she heard Theresa’s words, her lips curled. She thought that what others said was more convincing than her.

Osmond looked at her and indicated her that he had resolved this problem. He smiled and didn’t speak.
