Have I Told You Lately novel Chapter 78

Having no idea about what she was thinking inside, Kenneth said in a gentle voice, “Just ignore them temporarily and be careful when you’re outside. I will find time to come back in these two days. Just leave the matter to me.”

As if thinking of something, the coldness on Rachel’s face was gradually replaced by gentleness. She pondered for a while and said, “Mind your own business. I will handle it by myself. Since I can’t offend her, can’t I elude her? No matter what, I will not quibble with an old lady.”

She somehow knew about Kenneth’s mother’s personality. She was more imposing than her own mother. If she got some information, she would not give up unless she figured it out.

Luckily, she would not be home tomorrow as she had to go to a business trip; otherwise, Kenneth’s mother, Krista, would probably come to her company to catch her.

The man at the other end of the phone was muted for a while. Then his gentle and charming voice sounded, “Sorry. I hadn’t expected this would happen. If she really comes to find you, please do tell me.”

Rachel felt a bit unaccustomed to his sudden caring and therefore she was rendered confused, not knowing how to reply. She intended to be indifferent, but her heart thumped wildly and uncontrollably.

She licked her lips, wrapped her arms around her knees, lowered her head and said in a low voice, “I see. Go ahead with your own business. I’ll hang up first.”

Kenneth originally intended to talk for a more while, but seeing that she showed no interest in continuing the talk, he decided to end the topic and just added before ending the call, “Okay. Have a rest earlier.”

“Okay.”

Rachel’s eyelashes trembled slightly. She ended the call, hugged herself with her arms around her knees, put her chin on her legs, looking as if she was pondering something.

Sabrina Torres…

On the next day, Rachel didn’t go to the company in the morning as she had to take a plane to have a business trip at night. But the thing happened just as she had anticipated yesterday. Miles, who was in the company, gave her a phone call.

“What? A middle-aged woman comes to the company to find me?” Rachel was packing up her luggage in the bedroom when answering the call. Her expressions turned cold when she heard the words. Kenneth’s mother came as she had anticipated.

“Yep. We all thought that she’s your mother at the beginning. But she denied it later and said that she came to find you for some matters, but she didn’t reveal her own identity. Judging from her dressing, she looked like a rich lady.”

Rachel paused. She then stood to her feet and sat beside the bed, asking, “Is there anyone by her side?”

Was Sabrina Torres by her side?

Miles replied, “She came alone.” He then murmured as if he was talking to himself, “Maybe she’s a customer of our company.”
