Have I Told You Lately novel Chapter 129

Rachel pursed her lips and remained silent.

Kenneth faced her and his eyes grew deeper. His fingers passed through her hairs. The other hand wiped off the tears on her face gently. He said in a low voice, “I will send you to the restaurant first. Then I will leave, okay?”

Rachel lowered her eyes and dodged his finger. She said, “No need. You can go now.”

Kenneth frowned, “Rachel...”

How could he leave her alone outside?

Rachel looked at him expressionlessly. She smiled calmly. Her delicate face was gorgeous, “I wanna walk alone. If you wanna keep stalking me, I won’t stop you, but please don’t let me see you.”

With that, she walked past him and left without looking back.

The man immediately frowned, but did not follow.

On the street, Rachel kept walking forward aimlessly. She did not care whether the man followed her or not. She was just wandering around, looking at the scenarios at both sides of the street. However, if one looked at her eyes closer, one would notice that her eyes were hollow and spiritless as though she was lost in her thoughts.

After long enough, her body staggered, but she did not pay attention. She was going to continue walking. Suddenly, a naive sound rang in her ears, “Miss, you just ran into me...Why don’t you apologize?”

Rachel was stunned and recovered from her thoughts all of a sudden. She turned around and saw a cute little girl looking at her unhappily.

Rachel hurriedly bent down and her face was full of caring apologies, “I am so sorry...I did not pay attention. Did I hurt you?”

The little girl frowned and her pink little face swelled into two balloons. She stared at Rachel for a while and gave her a lesson with a soft voice, “Miss...You can’t be like this. My mom said that we have to be careful when we walk, otherwise we will fall over and even step onto kittens and puppies...”

Well…

Looking at the little girl’s palm-size face that was unimaginably tender and her serious watery eyes, Rachel felt awkward. She bit her lips and kept nodding, promising the little girl, “You’re right. I was wrong, and I will pay attention next time.”

The little girl narrowed her eyes and smiled. Her smile could almost melt one’s heart. The little girl patted Rachel’s forehead as if massaging a pet. She said softly, “Ok, that’s right. A good girl knows how to correct herself...Then see you Miss. Bye...”

When Rachel was about to nod, she suddenly realized something and stopped the girl. She looked around and asked confusedly, “Kid, are you alone? Where’s your mother?”

She just found out that the child was alone and no adult was coming over.

“My mom is not here. But grandma is over there.” The little girl pointed at the old man sitting on the bench nearby.

Rachel took a look and felt relieved. She touched her hair tenderly, “Okay. Remember not to run around alone, okay?”

“Sure, see you Miss.”

The girl waved at Rachel and ran away quickly.

As Rachel watched, a smile spread across her face. Slowly, she stood up and was about to leave. A droplet of icy-cold and ponderous rain smashed on her face.

She was stunned and looked up at the sky.

From the gloomy dark sky rains dropped on her face, more and more, heavier and heavier.

Her expression suddenly changed and took something out from her bag. She chased the little girl and yelled, “Kid!”
