Have I Told You Lately novel Chapter 9

After the disappointment, Rachel very calmly discharged herself. As soon as she got home, she went directly into the bedroom, and opened the wardrobe.

When she moved in with Kenneth, she didn't bring a lot of things with her. Now, in less than half an hour, she packed all the things into two suitcases. However, some overcoats were too heavy, so she just threw them back into the wardrobe.

Rachel looked at the apartment she and Kenneth had lived in, one last time. In dark corners only their shadows remained. She left the key on the shoe cabinet and left without any reminiscence.

From the time when that woman picked up his phone, to seeing her with him last night, she should have known it. She tried to warm his heart for three years and failed, but it doesn’t mean other women can't.

Besides, this marriage was originally a mistake. Let her end it earlier!

After leaving Kenneth’s apartment, Rachel dragged her things to her mother’s place. She didn't want to spend time with Kenneth, but in her current situation she couldn't afford to go and stay at a hotel.

Rachel rang the doorbell for a long time, but no one responded. She frowned and called her mother.

The call was connected soon.

Rachel could hear that the other place was very noisy and couldn't help asking, "Mom, are you not at home?"

"Ah? No, I am not. I'm at the gym. " Her mother faltered for a moment and then stammered, "Rach! Sweety, Is it important? If not, I’ll call you later."

Rachel didn't believe her and took the opportunity to ask, "Mom, where are you exercising? I'll come there."

"No! Don’t come… It's quite far away."

As she was speaking, Rachel heard someone behind her shouting, "Hey lady! The customers have left. Go clean up the table instead of talking on the phone."

"Mom, I heard it all!" Rachel suppressed her anger and said calmly, "Tell me the address."

Rachel left her suitcase with the tenants in the house opposite and handed them 500 yuan. She took a taxi and went to the restaurant where her mother said she was. When she walked in, she saw her mother bending over to clean a table.
