Have I Told You Lately novel Chapter 59

Kenneth, whose face had been gloomy long ago, was staring right at her, trying his hardest to suppress his anger.

Divorce. It was always only him who gave it any thought; for her it was just a word.

Rachel lowered her head to drink some tea, lowering her eyes to hide her emotions.

After a while, she put down her glass and politely smiled, "Sorry, I need to go to the bathroom."

Hurrying into the bathroom, disregarding the makeup on her face, she bowed her head and splashed water on her face, repeatedly. She lowered her face in the sink, splashing water, and closed her eyes to calm herself down.

When she heard someone coming in at the door, she raised her head and wiped the water on her face looking in the mirror.

Although her facial features were still delicate and charming, Rachel really didn't want to see herself right now.

The confusion and embarrassment of her eyes were clearly shown in the mirror; he would have seen it too.

She wiped her face dry and smiled mockingly at herself in the mirror.

After coming out of the stall, she threw the ball of tissue papers in her hand into the dustbin. Then she took out her make-up pouch from her bag to reapply her make up again.

After finishing that, she went out. Her mood was not showing at all, but in her hurry, she couldn’t find her way back to the meeting room.

"Fu@k! Where am I?"

She cursed under her breath, a hand on her forehead

She felt embarrassed calling Mr. Johnson to come get her, so she decided to find the way herself.

Walking along the corridor, she tried to look for something that might refresh her memory. She saw a door which had similar decorations as their room. She hesitated for a few seconds, bent over a little and opened the door slightly to look inside to see if it was right. However, she didn't see anyone after looking in for a long time. She closed the door and straightened up to turn around. But as she moved, she bumped into something right behind her; she cried out in pain. At the same time, she heard a gasp behind her.

She turned around, startled and found herself very close to Kenneth, who was rubbing his chin and frowning.

With a guilty cough, she asked coolly, "What were you doing behind me?"

Kenneth kneaded his chin, put down his hand, and said lightly, "Trying to see what were you peeping at."

He also guessed that she was probably lost.

When he came in, he noticed that there were many rooms here, all of which were designed in Chinese style decorations, which was absolutely an equivalent to a maze for her.

"You're peeping!" Rachel snapped at him, turned and left.

Kenneth’s heart felt like a current just went through it; he suddenly reached out and pulled her back.

Startled, Rachel glared at him, "What do you want now?"

"How did you meet Ogden Reed?" He asked seriously.

Rachel was puzzled, "How did I met him? Why do you care? I haven't seen you care about me before but now you even care about my work? Why? Couldn’t get me to remarry you, so you thought you could keep me as your mistress?”

His face slowly fell into darkness, his eyes turned into chilled stones, "He is not a simple person, you haven’t met him enough to know that. Keep a little distance from him in the future."

He realized it a bit too late that Ogden was seemingly very interested in her.

Although he had known him for a long time, they had only had business cooperation once. They were not even friends. Since the unstable situation in the business world, everything was blood and war, not to mention his achievements at such a young age.

Even today, he suspected, he was invited here after an elaborately calculated plan.

Rachel was taken aback for a moment. Then she raised the corner of her lips in a smile, a hint of mockery in her eyes, "Do I look stupid in your eyes? How many people of his level are simple? However, it’s true that if he wants to hide something, I may not be able to find out. After all, even a person who shares a bed with someone for three years sometimes knows nothing about that person. I know how to handle it. You don’t have to worry about it."

"Rach…" Kenneth’s throat seems to be suddenly choked; unable to make a sound, he looked at her with complicated eyes.

"I didn't… want to hide it from you."

Because it was originally only a contract marriage, they only met once a week. He had never talked about his work in front of her; the two basically never sat down and talked peacefully.

Rachel smiled softly, "Because there was never my place in your schedule."

Kenneth was suddenly silent.

The sneer in Rachel’s eyes deepened. She gently freed her hand from his grasp and said, "It's not fun to look back at the past now. Don't make it like you were foolishly in love with me but got dumped. Otherwise, my future husband might misunderstand me."

Having said what she wanted to, she very confidentially turned around and left.

But after turning a corner, she exhaled suddenly, her whole-body stumbling as she anxiously smacked a hand on her forehead.

She was lost.

Looked like she had to call Mr. Johnson.

Just as she was about to take out her mobile phone, a voice came from behind her, "Turn left and then right; second room."

“…”

Rachel’s hands trembled with fright, but she did not turn back. Otherwise, her domineering behavior just before would turn to embarrassment.

Setting her mind, she pretended not to hear; she straightened her back, holding her mobile phone, she kept walking without looking back.

"Turn left first, and then turn right, second... "

She calmed herself down, slowly stopped at the door and then silently opened the door.

Before she could see inside, she was suddenly pushed in by someone, next second her back hit the wall and then her lips were blocked in a kiss.

The whole process took only a few seconds, so fast that Rachel had no time to respond, his action made her mind go blank in a second.

Rachel's dilated pupils gradually focused and she saw the handsome face right in front of her eyes. Her mind was in a shock.

She… she was being kissed by Kenneth?

Originally, he just wanted to tease her, but he had never had such a childish attitude before, let alone the impulse he felt just now. He wanted to get close to her. At the moment of kissing, he felt a faint yearning in his heart.

"Kenneth, let go, let me go!" Rachel reacted, but her brain was still blank.

Did he even know what he's doing?

She couldn’t understand him even more now; he has even signed the divorce papers, why was he still doing this?

"Kenneth Shawn…" Struggling to avoid him, Rachel let out a crumbling roar.

Kenneth, who was almost out of control and out of reason, suddenly pulled back himself. His eyes showed his helplessness, "I’m… I'm sorry!"

Rachel was a little short of oxygen. Leaning against the wall, she tried to take deep breathes, but her anger on her face rose quickly. She glared at him and slapped him in the face with all her strength.

"Pow!"

Her voice was clear and angry, “Do you think it is fun to play with me? Do you want me to throw the divorce papers in your face before you admit that we are divorced? Kenneth Shawn, can you tell me what the hell do you want now? Don't tell me you've just found out that you've fallen in love with me. Do you think I'll believe that fu@king sh!t!”
