Have I Told You Lately novel Chapter 123

“I don’t drink so much, they drink a lot,” Miles’s voice was as calm as usual and relaxed.

Rachel looked at the jamming traffic, she slowed down and simply asked, “Are you a local people?”

Once she asked him, she found that she did not know him well.

A faint light could be seen in Miles’ deep eyes, he turned his sight and looked at her, answered calmly, “No, I come from L city, it’s not far from here. After I graduated, I came here to search for a job.”

“Oh, so your parents live there?”

The atmosphere became silent in the car.

Rachel was dumbfounded and looked at him subconsciously. However, the light inside the car was dim, she could not see his expression clearly, “What happened?”

“I don’t have a father, I only have a mother,” he looked at her and smiled suddenly.

Rachel met his smile, her heart chattered. Out of the blue, she felt a sense of coldness on her hand, her hand shivered and the steering was nearly uncontrolled.

She held back the steering and apologized quickly, “Sorry, I don’t know…”

Miles did not seem to notice her strange behaviour, he moved his sight to the front and said calmly, “Never mind, I come from a single-parent family. I lost my father since young, I have never seen him before, I am used to it.”

Rachel did not expect that he grew up under such a condition as he always portrayed himself as an active person. But it was quite normal, everyone had different way of living, she kept a lot of secrets as well.

She did not know how to console others, so she just smiled slightly, “You have grown up, you’re so hardworking, you must have a bright future. Furthermore, you still have a mother.”

After she said that, she could hear a cold and low voice, “My mother has passed away.”

She was speechless.

“Ah!”

Rachel was shocked, she lost control of her car. The car rushed towards the railing beside the road suddenly. Luckily, she responded fast and quickly grabbed the steering and controlled it. Then, the car turned around and did not bang on it, she was so shocked that she stepped on the brake instantly.

Due to inertia, her body rushed forwards and stopped. Her face turned pale after the sudden incident. She gasped and looked at Miles instantly, “Sorry, I lost control of the steering, are you ok?”

Miles did not change his expression, he looked at her silently for a few seconds, smiled slightly, “I’m fine, sorry, I have frightened you.”

Rachel gasped softly, her fingers grabbed the steering, her palm was full of sweat. She felt uneasy in her heart but she did not know why she felt it that way but she was indeed frightened, she was not sure that it was because of his voice or the content of his words.

“Rachel, do you want me to drive?” Miles looked at her and spoke.

“No, no need, you are drunk,” Rachel had not yet regained her attention from the incident, she shook her head and reversed her car, continued to drive on the road.

But for now, she had to be very careful. Her eyes focused on the front, did not dare to distract her attention.

“In fact, my mother passed away half a year ago,” Miles said lowly, continued the topic.

Rachel was stunned, the uneasy feeling of her heart reached out to her again. She was nervous and frightened, she was not sure that whether she had regained her conscious from the incident just now but she did not want to intervene him. Maybe he was drunk, he wanted to pour out his woes to her.
