Have I Told You Lately

Chapter 31: Are You Into Her?

Kenneth squinted, “Which hospital?”

“It’s a private hospital. Looks like your ex-wife is so rich cause few people can afford the expenses in

such a hospital. Could it be that her new boyfriend paid for her?”

Irritated by his flippant tone and laughter, Kenneth’s expression got hideous and he said in a low voice,

“Geoffrey, mind your words.”

“Hey buddy, is it that hard to admit the fact that you’ve been cuckolded? I won’t laugh at you.” Geoffrey

mocked lazily with obvious gloating in his tone.

Kenneth hung up the phone, his lips curling into a straight line.

He casually flung the document onto the table and leaned on the chair fretfully with a gloomy

expression.

But soon, he figured out that something had gone wrong and his expression got even more hideous.

She was so frugal that she even refused to pay for the membership when she traveled to Japan and

begged him without regard to their grudges. How could such a person be willing to pay the high

expenses in a high-level private hospital?

Apparently, she must have guessed that he would probe into this and therefore made preparations in

advance.

After all, a private hospital would always keep their clients’ information as a top secret.

But she neglected the fact that the more she did to hide this, the more dubious it was.

He pondered for a while and then called Geoffrey.

Geoffrey dawdled for a while and answered the call when the ringing was almost over. He mocked,

“Kenneth Shawn, did I own you something? Hurry, what’s the matter this time?”

“Sorry to bother. I own you a favor.” Kenneth replied flatly showing no guilt and then asked, “Are you in

N City?”

“I’m heading to the airport.”

“Endorse the ticket and then go to the court to have a check on her father’s case. I want to know

whether he can get a reduction on prison sentence. As long as it can be solved with money, I can pay

all.”

“…”

Geoffrey took a deep breath and clucked curiously, “You were bothered to care about her before your Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

divorce. Now she’s no longer your wife, you show great eager to get close to her. Are you… into her?”

Kenneth quietly looked ahead with his deep-set black eyes and kept silent for a while and then

answered expressionlessly, “I don’t know.”

Geoffrey had been his buddy since childhood and he seldom kept something secret to him. Indeed, he

had a sophisticated feeling and didn’t figure it out. Plus that as he had been busy recently, he felt quite

fretted and had no spare time to think over this matter.

Geoffrey felt quite speechless upon hearing the three words.

He had been sleeping with her for three years. Although they just met once a week, they had sex four

times a month. But Kenneth didn’t know whether he had fallen for her?

However, knowing his personality, Geoffrey didn’t ask anymore and simply agreed to his request,

“Okay, got it. I will talk with you in detail when I come back. Get your things done first.”

“Okay.”

…

Half a month later, Chapman’s case came to trial. Chapman was a famous judge in the city; therefore,

every sector had attached tremendous attention on his case. Many observers and journalists had

seated in order before the court session began.

Rachel and Theresa, as the defendant’s family, also arrived early. Wearing a mask, the two stared at

the tribunal with a solemn expression.

Osmond also came and seated himself beside Rachel.

“Don’t worry. Everything will be okay.” Osmond gently caressed her shoulder, comforting her in a low

voice.

Rachel intently looked at the old man who was standing in the middle and wearing a pair of cuff, feeling

heartbroken and sad. She sniffed and said in a hoarse voice, “I’m fine.”

She had prepared herself for the worst situation.

He abused his powers and committed corruption and bribery, which were an indelible stain in his life.

Maybe being imprisoned was the best way to atone for his crime.

Rachel had no other wishes except hoping that he would be fine in prison and that she could still take

care of him after the expiration of the imprisonment.

Rachel turned around and saw her mother choking with sobs and covering her mouth to conceal the

cry. She felt heartbroken and pulled her into her embrace, sobbing, “Mom, it’s all right. I’m still by your

side.”

The three sat in the front row. None of them noticed that there was a man in black coat and a pair of

sunglasses sitting in the last row of the terrace public gallery, his gaze fixating on them.
