Have I Told You Lately novel Chapter 98

What Kenneth said made sense. Rachel was also afraid that they would feel embarrassed if Osmond met Kenneth’s man. However, she was still worried about her mother. The man didn’t offer her too much time to hesitate. He took her to go through the security check quickly and pushed her into the plane. When Rachel came back to her senses, she found even her safety belt was fastened.

“Kenneth Shawn, you!”

“Shush! You’ll have a lot of things to do after going home. There wouldn’t be much time for you to take a rest. You should take the chance and have a nap now.” As he spoke, the man put his coat on her body.

After going back, he certainly couldn’t follow her everywhere as he was doing now. Even if he wanted to help her, he needed to consider her dignity in front of others.

Rachel was stunned by his sudden movement. However, she didn’t react so fiercely as she did before. Leaning against the back of her seat, she closed her eyes after taking a glance at the scenery outside the window.

She indeed wasn’t in the mood to argue against him about those repeated topics.

Kenneth stared at her silence for a moment and then looked away.

After a while, Rachel suddenly opened her eyes. Tilting her head, she turned to look at the man sitting next to her. She asked in an expressionless tone, “You just left without giving any instructions. Don’t you need to deal with your company business?”

Before they divorced, he only went back home once per week according to their agreement. Usually, she couldn’t find him even though the phone calls, let alone meeting him. At that time, she always felt depressed for that he didn’t care about her, and nor did he respect her marriage. Later, she found out his identity and then she got to know his working environment. Just now, for some reason, she kept wondering if he was truly busy and he was not that ruthless as she had thought.

Moreover, she recalled that he seldom answer or make phone calls once he had returned home. Even they didn’t talk too much, he never talked business with her. Now thinking about it, she understood that he didn’t treat her as an invisible woman. It might be because that she had never considered things in his shoes.

Kenneth raised his face, his gaze shifting from the magazine in his hands. He faintly smiled at her. “I’ll ask Charlie to take care of them. He’ll leave the important matters for me to deal with after I go back.”

His smile was really charming. Rachel was stunned for a moment. Looking away, she licked her lips and said, “In fact... you don’t need to do this. As you’ve said, we don’t owe each other after the divorce. Back then, we even didn’t have marital community property. You truly don’t need to waste too much effort to help me resolve those trifles. As long as you don’t contact me, your mother wouldn’t make any fuss.”

She had loved this man for a long time. She didn’t regret marrying him upon the agreement, and nor did she want to regret divorcing him. However, when the passion between them warmed up and they got to know each other deeper, she found herself loved him more deeply than she used to.

Kenneth’s gaze focused on her, his eyes darkened. He answered in the same tone, “No martial community property? I don’t think so... Although they appeared quite late, there’s no difference.”

Rachel pressed her belly, frowning. “Can’t be you be more serious?”

“Am I not serious enough?” The man raised his eyebrows.

Rachel’s heart skipped a beat. Suddenly she looked at him in the eye. “You had a line in the agreement saying that you didn’t want to have any child within the four years. Why now...”

What she meant was why he started caring about the two babies now.

Perhaps she couldn’t ask him such a question in the past, but now she didn’t need to have such a concern -- after all, she got the divorce certificate already.
