Have I Told You Lately

Chapter 98: You Can Come to Me

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 Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

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.

Kenneth looked back into her eyes for a while. Then he closed the magazine in his hands and put it on

his lap. Squinting, he looked out of the window and said in a flat tone, “At that time, my father was sick

and the company was at a critical moment. I just took it over, so I wasn’t certain how long it would take

me to save it. All I could do was to devote myself to the work. Hence I added such a line in the

agreement when I was forced to get married.”

“Besides, you were also fighting hard for your career at that time. Since we both didn’t have time, why

should we give birth to a child and let him or her suffer? That was what I’d thought of, but I have to

admit that I didn’t think of having a baby with you at that time.”

All his concentration was on his work. How could he have other time to think about this unknown

woman, whom he was forced to marry?

It was the first time that he shared his thoughts with her. Rachel felt her heart was touched

unexpectedly and she could understand. However, the last sentence indeed broke her heart.

He thought that she was also forced to marry him, so they signed that agreement under mutual

understanding. However, he had never known how much effort she had spent just for marrying him.

She had begged her father for a long time. As well, he had never known that it was she who forced him

to marry her, and she was quite unwilling to sign that agreement.

However, no matter what the truth back then was, it was meaningless now. If she told him everything,

he might blame her for the tragic consequences caused.

Suppressing the sharp pang in her heart, she curled her lips and snorted. “Do you think I’d love to have

your baby?”

She thought he might retort her. Much to her surprise, the man suddenly lowered his voice and said, “I

know you don’t. I owed you a lot because I made you suffer so much now. I’m the babies’ father, so

we’re even after I’ve helped you. You don’t need to feel guilty.”

Rachel was choked. It seemed that he really could figure it out clearly.

However, she made the decision on her own to keep the babies. If he really didn’t want them back

then, she deserved it even she was suffering now.

Kenneth hadn’t finished his words yet. Taking a glance at her, he said solemnly, “Therefore, if you need

any help, please come to me. Don’t disturb Mr. Cox. If you owed him too much, you couldn’t pay him

back even if you devoted yourself to him.”

Rachel squinted, staring at him sharply. “I’m afraid the last two sentences are your key point, aren’t

they?”

Of course, she couldn’t agree with him more on this.

She had planned to make it clear with Osmond after she went back to City J this time.

The man leaned against the back of his seat, lazily curling up his lips. “Since you’ve got my key point, I

know I was right -- you don’t love him that much. He’s not so persistent as you’ve imagined. Now

you’ve just got rid of a difficulty, why do you have to jump into another one? He’s not suitable for you as

you’ve thought.”

Rachel was a bit annoyed. She said with self-mockery, “I know it clear if he’s suitable or not. I’m not

good at knowing people, so I always have negative encounters. But Osmond is definitely not a bad

man.”

Then she mocked him. “Besides, you always could make yourself so reasonable. If you have spoken to

me in this way earlier, I would never agree to marry you three years ago.”

After finishing her words, she lifted up the coat on her body to cover her face. Then she muffled, “I’m

taking a nap. Don’t ever bother me again.”

It was his coat, on which his smell remained. Now she was like being held in his arms, a trace of

affection surging from the bottom of her heart.
