Have I Told You Lately

Chapter 126 Aren’t You Inviting Me for a Drink?

He literally refreshed her knowledge on shamelessness. If he just recalled it, then was he pretending to

be deaf or having a memory loss?

She raised her hand to rub her temple. Anger had almost blown her mind completely. After calming her

breath down, she said in a trembling voice, “You, you. Now that you recall it, get out!”

Naive! Ridiculous! It was total madness that she had spent time with him on such a boring game!

Kenneth lowered his eyes on her. She looked like an angry wild cat. Compared to her mild obedience

before, cuteness had grown in her. Though he was unwilling to divorce, yet he realized that something

intangible, something that had always been missing in him, arose when they were together.

His lips curled up slightly, patting her head gently, and his voice was mixed with a sort of tender illusion,

“Go back, I am leaving.”

Rachel was stunned for a moment, the better part of her anger disappeared the moment she looked

into his deep and scorching look.

She slowly bit her lips, “You...When did you come?”

Rachel felt frustrated. She always forgave this man easily.

“An hour ago.”

No, to be exact, it was three hours ago, which was the time when she got off work normally. However,

he did not expect her to eat dinner with Ogden.

Rachel bit her lips a bit harder, and she took a look at the door of her apartment. She said coldly after a

moment of hesitation, “Come in and have a sit. My parents should have gone to bed. Be quiet.”

With that, she walked over and opened the door with the key.

Yet, it wasn’t until she opened the door that she realized something awkwardly. Why would she invite a

man to her apartment in the middle of the night? Was it not like putting the cat near the goldfish bowl? Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

She flustered and hurriedly blocked the door. She said rigidly and awkwardly, “Well...Kenneth, I just

realize that aren’t you living around? It seems a bit too late.”

The man looked at her amusedly, “What? You are not going to invite me for a hot drink? After all, I have

been waiting for you in the cold wind for that long.”

“Nobody forces you to wait though.” Rachel looked mad again, and her tone was unfriendly, “It’s only a

couple of minutes away from your home. I don’t think hot drinks are necessary, do you?”

Kenneth did not care whether he could go in or not. He did not expect her consent. He smiled and said,

“This month is almost over. I will go to the hospital with you tomorrow for inspection.”

Rachel’s expression changed slightly, “Well, I am busy this week. I will go next week.”

“I am not sure if I have time next week. Let’s settle it in this week.” The man said with a calm tone.

It was better that you don’t have time. Rachel said to herself.

“But I am unavailable this week. Either next week, or next month.” Her tone sounded determined.

Kenneth stared at her for a while with his unperturbed eyes as if seeing through her mind. Then he

placed his hands into the pockets, and narrowed his eyes, “The hospital you go to runs 24hrs. You can

make an appointment anytime, or I can help you.”

“...”

Rachel’s face turned dark, pursing her lips tightly. She had lost her temper. After a moment, she

clenched her teeth, “No need. I can do it myself.”

“Alright. Go to bed. Wake up earlier tomorrow. I will wait for you.”

With his emotionless words, Kenneth left without giving her the chance to argue.

Rachel stood still. Though she couldn’t see it, she could vaguely feel that he was laughing as though all

her thoughts had been exposed to him since the beginning.

This feeling of being manipulated was not comfortable.

She gazed at the back of the man, and suddenly, a sharp light flashed beneath her eyes.

...

The next day morning at eight o’clock. Kenneth figured that Rachel must have woken up. He put on his

jacket and made a call.

The lady picked up the phone in a few seconds, which surprised him.

Before he spoke, the person on the other side of the phone said, “Mr. Shawn, Rachel is doing her

inspection now and cannot answer the phone. I will tell her later if you have anything to say.”

Kenneth, “...”
