Have I Told You Lately novel Chapter 71

Kenneth frowned tighter and couldn’t help but to hold tightly to her shoulders and said, “Rachel, aren’t you divorcing me so that you can be with someone you like? Can’t you see that he is just trying to find a stepmother for her daughter? Do you really think that he likes you?”

Rachel’s expression changed and turned cold. She pushed away his arm and laughed, “Since when did I say that I like him? He wants to find a stepmother for his daughter and I want to find a stepfather for my child. He is warm, caring, and takes good care of the family. He is a good choice as a husband. I believe that he will take good care of my child and me.”

She looked at his handsome face and grinned. She raised her hand to sweep his shirt at his chest and said softly, “Furthermore, at our age, how do we have the time to talk about love? Perhaps only bosses like you can spend your time looking for twenty-year-old girls to toy with their feelings.”

Kenneth looked at her and grabbed her hand to press onto his chest and said, “I don’t have the time and interest to look for girls. Even though I didn’t tell you about my job, I don’t have a woman outside. Rachel, I didn’t cheat on you during our marriage.”

“…” Rachel was stunned and looked at him.

‘Could he be thinking that she wanted the divorce because she suspected that he cheated on her?’She sneered within her, tilted her head, and then wanted to extract her hand and said, “I’m not interested in whether you cuckolded me and it’s meaningless to say these now. Apart from the child’s matters, you don’t have to be bothered with my private matters from now on.”

He remained silent as he looked down on her. It was dark and neither of them could understand the other’s expression.

Rachel felt the chill in his mood and pulled her hand back and said, “Release my hand!”

He didn’t move and grabbed her tighter as she struggled.

Rachel’s expression changed and she glared at him with her eyes wide open, “Kenneth, release me! I need to go home!”

Before she could finish, he grabbed her into his embrace.

“No!” He said with a deep voice. Rachel shivered and her heartbeat quickened as her lips quivered. After a while, she muttered strangely, “Kenneth, do…do you know what you just said?”

When did he become so childish to throw his tantrum? Rachel was not dumb and was an adult. She noticed his changes over these few days. His actions moved her but they were difficult for her to believe.

She didn’t receive an answer for a while and was disappointed. She thought that it was just another quarrel but the next moment, he said clearly, “I know.”

“…” Rachel’s face heated up and her heartbeat raced, “Do you… like me?”

She asked directly without shame since he didn’t care about his own.

“Yes… I don’t detest you.”

“…” Rachel was absolutely stunned.

She thought that he would deny or admit, but why did he answer so ambiguously? What did he mean by ‘don’t detest’? How many women did he detest?

It was like something gagged her and Rachel became flushed with anger. She pushed him away and yelled, “Kenneth, you’re toying with me!”

He wasn’t prepared and was pushed backward. He looked at her blankly and said, “I didn’t.”
