Have I Told You Lately

Rachel was about to say thank you, but now she decided not to. She didn't want to argue with him. So, she waved to a waitress asking her to come clean the cake and turned around to cut one more piece. However, right before she left, her hand was grasped by Kenneth.

"What are you doing?" She frowned and stared at him angrily.

Kenneth put down her cake and replaced it with a bowl of soup, speaking plainly, "Pregnant women shouldn't have these things. Are you lack of common sense?"

Rachel raised her eyebrow and stared at him weirdly, sneering, "Did Mr. Kenneth carry a baby before? How come you know these things?"

Though there was still cake stain on his coat, his temperament wasn't affected at all. His face looked charming as well as gorgeous.

He kept poking his nose into her business. Of course, she knew she couldn't have too much cake. But once or twice didn't matter, right? He didn't care about her at all during their marriage, but now he kept harassing her.

Kenneth didn't argue back. He carried the soup with one hand, and took her hand with another, leading her towards a table and denying her a chance to reject.

"What... What are you doing? Let go of me!"

Rachel was shocked and failed to break away. With so many people looking, she didn't want to make a scene and followed him to the table. But she didn't forget to ask Monica to come along.

At the table, the man let go of her hand and put the soup down, saying without an expression, "Do you want to drink by yourself, or do you want me to feed you?"

Rachel's face turned from white, to red and then to black. She stared at him angrily and gritted her teeth, "Kenneth, what do you want? You didn't mind my business before."

Hearing her talking about the past, Kenneth squinted, "Because you used to be a good girl who was obedient to me."

He said it on purpose. Of course, he knew she just pretended to be a good girl. It was just that he knew nothing about her before and didn't even try to.

She seldom did what he didn't like, such as smoking and drinking. After the divorce, he slowly understood that she used to accommodate herself to his needs. Even on weekdays when he got back, she came home earlier to prepare everything he might need.

Could he interpret what she did as a gesture out of love?

But it was she who wanted a divorce, so this question was pointless.

Rachel looked at him with almost nothing on her face. It was like her eyes were mocking him. Then she looked down and said, "Yes, I was a good girl...who never bothered you."

She carried Monica on her legs and said coldly, "Please don't disturb me."

Of course, she was a good girl. She loved him too much to the point that she almost lost herself

The marriage contract said they should be married for four years. But in these three years, she kept a countdown every day. The scare she felt every minute was something he would never experience. She kept her head down and fed Monica, not looking at Kenneth's face. Minutes later, he walked away.

But after a short while, she looked up and saw the man carrying food and sitting down. Her face changed, "Why didn't I find out before that you were like a ghost who kept haunting people?" Kenneth sneered, "I didn't find you a troublemaker before too. I am just having breakfast. Do you have any problem with that?"

"Among all those places, you have to sit here?"

He glanced in the distance and said, "I want a quiet place."

Rachel looked at where he sat his eyes and saw Sabrina carrying her plate and looking for someone.

She understood immediately and pursed her lips, "I want a quiet place too. But she is your assistant. Besides, don't you guys like that type...

She paused and reorganized her words, sneering, "...Pretty women without a brain? I bet she can help a lot with your business."

She thought about the video she took on the cruise and wanted to laugh.

She thought Sabrina was an elegant rich girl before. And when Sabrina tossed the check at her, she even felt like she was beneath her. But it turned out she was just despised by a social butterfly. Kenneth frowned, for he didn't like the way she judged his employer. He said, "I have nothing to do with her personally. I made her my assistant because she worked hard. As a leader, I won't deny my employers' hard work."

Rachel paused.

Was he...was he explaining to her?

With that, complicated emotion flowed from her heart.

If she was still married to him, she would believe him, for women in love were all idiots. But now...She wasn't sure if he was telling the truth.

Then she came to herself and looked down with a cough, ending the conversation, "It's none of my business. And... don't talk about these things in front of a child."

Kenneth got gloomy. It was she who started the conversation, wasn't it?

Seeing Rachel feeding Monica in such a skilled way, Kenneth got gloomier and more asked, "You like child?"

"If I didn't like child, why would I have one?" Rachel answered quickly. Though she sounded tepid, but only she knew how much sarcasm there was in this sentence. Kenneth didn't talk again.

Not long, Sabrina saw them and walked upon, looking kind of angry, "Well, hello, Ms. Rachel."

Rachel just ignored her.

Last time during the check accident, they two had already expressed their dislike for each other. So, there was no need to pretend anymore. Rachel wasn't in the mood to fake before Sabrina. Embarrassed, Sabrina wanted to grit her teeth. Then she saw Monica in Rachel's arms and cries out, "Woe, what a cute kid!"

While praising Monica, she reached to pinch her face. Her bright red fingernails were newly painted.

Rachel's face turned cold and instantly carried Monica up. She turned to Kenneth and said tepidly, "Thank you for last night and just now. I've eaten enough. Goodbye."

Then she straightly walked away without even looking at Sabrina.

Sabrina was pissed off inside, but dared not to show her anger. She just looked at Kenneth with embarrassment, "Ken, did I do something wrong that made Ms. Rachel angry?" Kenneth watched Rachel's back and said nothing.

Sabrina gritted her teeth and sat down, asking carefully, "Ken, didn't...didn't you get divorced? Why are you...?"

Why were you still keeping in touch with her?

Kenneth glanced at her and said plainly, "My privacy is none of your business."

Sabrina's face turned pale, "But untie said..."

Kenneth stopped her right there, "Don't talk about such nonsense before her. I can take care of my own business." Sabrina was totally choked.

Kenneth looked away and stood up walking outside. His tall and slim figure always stood out among people.‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒
