Have I Told You Lately

Chapter 46: Are You Nuts?

He calmed himself down a bit. He then grabbed her arm and stared at her face with his dark eyes and

said word by word, “Didn’t you want to know what I’d think? I’ll tell you now. If the children are mine, I

won't allow you to have any interactions with other men anymore.”

“…”

Rachel’s pupils dilated in shock.

She was stunned for a few seconds and his words kept replaying in her mind.

He didn’t love her but he wouldn’t set her free because of the children.

Rachel was bitterly disappointed and she looked at him as if he was already a stranger.

H…how could he be so selfish?

She didn’t even do anything wrong to him all these while.

Rachel felt so overwhelmed. She could only calm herself down after some time. Then she looked at

him with a teasing smile on her face and asked him in an adenoidal tone, “Kenneth…Are you forcing

me to get an abortion?”

Looking at the change of his expression after hearing what she said, she laughed out loud until her

eyes sore. She then said harshly, “Never let me see you again, or else I will not keep the babies!”

She didn’t care if this means she admitted who the children belonged to. The wider the smile Rachel

had on her face, the more pain she is feeling in her heart. However, nothing beat the disappointment

she had in him.

She thought even if they didn’t love each other, they could still divorce in peace.

Naïve.

Rachel wrenched herself from his grasp. She smiled and closed her eyes. Exhaustion was written all Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

over her face. She then turned around and left without saying anything.

Kenneth was standing behind her. He tried to take her arms but all he could hold onto was her sleeves.

He wanted to say something but he was restricted by utmost restraint and forbearance in his blood.

He didn’t want to go to his office since the beginning. He stood for a while then left the place too.

…

Rachel arrived home after work in the evening.

“Mother, I’m home.”

Theresa heard Rachel from the kitchen. She popped her head out from the kitchen and smiled, “We

are having dinner soon. Go wash your hands.”

Rachel rubbed her forehead, put down her bag, and replied, “Mother, I’m not hungry. You should start

eating without me. I’ll go take a shower first.”

Theresa immediately turned off the stove. She walked out from the kitchen with a face full of concern,

“Rach, what’s wrong? You are not looking very well.”

Theresa became worried when she saw Rachel’s pale face and tired eyes. “Are you not feeling well? Is

it because of the babies?”

Rachel felt a tingling sensation in her nose. She quickly turned around and avoided Theresa. “I’m

alright. It’s just been a very long day and I’m really exhausted. I only wanted to take a shower and rest.

Go, go have dinner.” Rachel tried her best to explain in a calm tone.

Theresa furrowed her brows, “No, you can’t skip meals. You must eat regardless of how tired you are.

You shouldn’t be doing this to your body, especially now. Listen to me. Go take a shower, then we will

have dinner together. Alright?”

“Mom…” Rachel couldn’t hold on any longer. Tears rolled out from her eyes. She hugged Theresa and

cried silently. Her silent cries were the indication of how sad Rachel was for being wronged by Kenneth.

Theresa was startled. She quickly asked, “What’s wrong? Did somebody bully you? Rach, tell me, are

you being treated unfairly in the company?”

She knew her daughter. Rachel was usually so strong that she wouldn’t say anything even if she was

being treated unfairly.

Rachel remained silent. She just needed to cry and let it all out.

She had been holding on for too long since what happened to her father, her divorce, and what

happened today. If it was not for her mother and her babies, she didn’t know how long she could hold

on. Kenneth was like the pillar in her heart supporting her. She tried her best to defend her dignity in

front of Kenneth. She didn’t want him to see her in misery even if they had divorced.

Today, the pillar was crushed.

Rachel felt like all her strength had been drawn out of her body.

“Rachel?” Theresa hugged her and called her name softly.

After a while, Rachel raised her head from Theresa’s arms. She wiped away her tears and decided not

to tell her mother anything. “Nobody could bully me. I’m just too tired. I’ll go take a shower now, then I’ll

have dinner with you later.”

“Rachel, are you really alright?” Theresa was worried but she didn’t want to pressure Rachel.

“Yes, I’m alright. Could you go get ready for dinner?” Rachel pulled herself together and walked into her

room.
