Have I Told You Lately novel Chapter 82

After ordering the steamed buns, steamed dumplings, and rice porridge, Rachel particularly ordered meatloaf for him. Kenneth hadn’t eaten for so many hours, so she guessed that he was indeed starved.

While waiting for the dishes to be served, Rachel didn’t talk to him. She lowered her head to play with her cell phone, trying her best to ignore him.

Kenneth looked down at her side face. Looking at her slender and curly eyelashes, he asked in a flat tone, “Did Ogden Reed contact you again?”

Rachel’s eyes flickered. Without looking up at him, she answered, “It’s related to my work. I didn’t have any reason to reject him.”

“But you were quite straightforward when rejecting me.”

Rachel was taken aback for a moment. She sensed there was something wrong from his tone. Glinting at him with an odd look, she answered, “He’s a bad guy, but do you think you are a good man? Of course, I can reject one or the other.”

Kenneth frowned with dissatisfaction. “I’ve never wanted to hurt you.”

Rachel put down her cell phone, her fingers fiddling with the tableware in front of her. With a disdainful sneer, she said, “Don’t you know this sentence is a standard quotation for scums and bitches online? You move yourself only but you did hurt others.”

Moreover, Rachel didn’t think he knew what he was talking about. She wondered if he said that because of love or just humanity.

The man creased his brows more tightly. Suddenly, he said, “Geoffrey said you like me.”

Rachel’s face stiffened. Staring at him in silence for a few seconds, she suddenly smiled brightly. Raising her eyebrows, she mocked, “I’ve never known he’s a love expert.”

“He’s not. He just has made a lot of girlfriends,” the man explained seriously.

“Oh, I see. Just because you haven’t made so many girlfriends as he had, you don’t understand it, do you?”

The man didn’t answer, so Rachel took it as acquiescence.

Rachel supported her chin with a hand, curling up her pink lips. She enjoyed looking at his handsome face with sarcasm in her eyes. “If that’s the case, you should call yourself an idiot. Don’t you understand the desire-driven from your private part? I slept with you for three years. You even needed an outsider to tell you what love is. Kenneth Shawn, you are heartless, aren’t you?”

“So, what he said was right, wasn’t it?” Kenneth only cared about this.

It was indeed his fault. He had never considered or cared about her thoughts. In the beginning, he didn’t think that the physical desire would mean anything to him. When he needed it, he naturally thought of her. However, after experiences so many things, he gradually understood something.

Rachel’s mouth corners twitched.

He was indeed a male chauvinist.

“I’m hungry. Let’s eat.” Noticing the waiter was approaching them, Rachel looked away and completely ignored him.

The man gripped her wrist and glinted at her. “You haven’t answered me yet.”

Rachel was speechless.

Biting her low lip and casting a glance at her wrist, she unhurriedly asked, “Don’t you want me to have breakfast in peace?”

Kenneth pulled a long face, but he let go of her hand.

Rachel picked up a steamed bun with her chopsticks, ignored him, and started eating by herself. Her lips were curled up into a smile.

When she was involved in the game, she couldn’t see things clearly; now as an onlooker, she realized something instead. Perhaps it was not a regretful thing to get divorced.
