Have I Told You Lately

Chapter 125 I Thought You Are Still My Wife

Chapman was admitted to the ward for about half a month. Then he was discharged and sent to rest at

home. Although he could only lay still, he was conscious and could express his needs even though his

words were unclear.

After all, he was still in prison term. So, the police and the hospital staff would pay a visit regularly to

keep track of his illness. Theresa was there to take care of him, which made Rachel feel at ease since

she was not at home.

Late at night, Rachel parked her car at the parking lot in her residence after work, then held onto her

handbag as she walked back to her condominium.

The streetlights were dim and fuzzy, reflecting just her delicate figure. She walked casually.

When she stepped into the elevator, the sound-sensor light did not light up, and it was dark. Just as

she was about to make some sound to make it light up, a voice suddenly sounded in front of her,

“You’re back.”

“Ah!”

Rachel was shocked, and she screamed in fright.

The light turned on, and the surrounding was bright again. Then, she saw a figure of a tall and sturdy

man leaning by the elevator. She was stunned for a while and immediately scolded, “Are, are you a

ghost? You scared the hell out of me!”

“Sorry, the light went out just now.” Under the light, the handsome-looking man slowly smiled when he

saw her.

Rachel was so frustrated that she felt like beating him up.

She inhaled a deep breath, approached the elevator, and pressed on the button. Then she looked at

him, “Why are you back today?”

That day was Saturday, and he came back home once every week like previously, as promised.

“I had time, so I decided to come back,” Kenneth said as if it was normal without any emotions.

Rachel glanced at him. Then she stopped saying anything. He had come back once in the past half a

month, but she ignored him. Should she ignore him again this time?

“Why are you coming back late?” He had been waiting there for a long time. If it wasn’t because he

wanted to keep his return a secret to her, he would have called her.

The elevator came to the ground floor, and the door opened. Rachel walked in. She lowered her gaze

and said casually, “I had dinner with Mr. Reed.”

Kenneth followed her into the elevator. The look in his eyes turned gloomy when he heard that, “Did he

invite you?”

Rachel pressed onto the button which her house was located, then explained calmly, “No. Mr. Reed is

going back to Beijing tomorrow. Mr. Lopez got the news and invited him for a meal, and he took me

along with him.”

Kenneth’s gaze calmed down. He looked up and muttered with a smirk, “Yes. It's indeed time for him to

go back to Beijing.”

Rachel was stunned and did not hear clearly what he had just muttered, “Huh? What did you say?”

“Nothing. He probably will not be able to care much about your company for the time being. You can

focus on taking over the cooperation case of Vantage and Dragon Age.”

The elevator stopped and opened with a reminder sound.

Rachel stood still and frowned. She looked at him and with a puzzled look in her eyes, “Why does it

sound like you know about something? Why did he go back to Beijing so suddenly?”

Kenneth reached out his hand, cuddled Rachel’s shoulder, and walked out of the elevator with her.

Then he said calmly, “His headquarter is not here. Do you expect him to stay here just for a few small

investments?”

Rachel obviously did not notice him hugging onto her and just followed him. Her thoughts were all

about Ogden. She turned around and gazed at him strangely as she said, “But he had been here for a

month and seemed to have not done anything. He did not even start his cooperation with Vantage.

Why did he go back so suddenly?“

Kenneth looked at her shiny eyes, and he gulped, then grinned, “You thought that he had done nothing,

but he had done much more than what you thought. At least three enterprises in City N had become

the subsidiaries of his F&R Group within the month. Other than that, the small enterprises that he had

cooperated with were only yours.”

Rachel was stunned. Her steps stopped suddenly. She was pondering, “Why did he choose only the

Vantage?”

He had invited so many famous enterprises to the banquet on the first day when he came to City N.

Vantage was only the smallest enterprise among them. Even though she was confident that her

company was a shining star, Mr. Reed might not have that insight. Why did he choose Vantage then?

Or…

Rachel’s gaze was deeper, and her eyes were sharp again as if she had sensed something.

Kenneth’s eyes were slightly squinted as he gazed at her. He was grasping on her shoulders a little

tightly. He suddenly bent forward, and his thin lips murmured by her ears, “Rachel, please keep some

distance with him, will you?”

His warm breath brushed through her ears like a feather. His voice was hoarse, and it made Rachel’s

ears turn red. She was back to her sense and found out that she was grasped tightly in his arms. Her

eyes widened, and she slipped out of his arms, then said angrily with her face blushing, “I really can’t

lose guard on you for even a second. If you dare to touch me again, I’ll bite you.”

The next second, Kenneth’s thin lips pressed on hers.

Then she was pinned against the wall and was kissed in the hallway.

Finally, just as he wished, Rachel bit on him hard.

She was kissed till she lost her breath, and her eyes were misty. Only then, Kenneth let go of her.

Rachel stared at him with a pitiful, wronged, and angry look on her face. Her face blushed, and her

knees were weak. She almost slapped him again. She was so furious, and she scolded as if she was

wronged, “Did you come here in the middle of the night just to fulfill your desire? If you want to make

love so much, just find some other women. Don’t disturb me.”

Kenneth grasped on her waist and pulled her into his arms again, then sighed helplessly, “We meet

only once every week, and do you have to fight with me?”

After being rude, his gentleness was more obvious. Rachel gave in secretly, but she did not show it in

her words, “If you are still my husband, I’ll even welcome you delightfully even if you come back home

once a month. But I will not even want to see you if you come to me and act like a pervert man.”Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Kenneth smiled lightly. His finger ran through her face. He gulped, and his voice was hoarse, “But I

want to meet you, and you never answer my calls.”

Rachel’s facial expression stiffen, and her look was diverting from him. She was nervous and started to

tremble a little, “Kenneth…can you let go of me first?”

It was difficult to resist a serious man like Kenneth, who tried to seduce her.

“I’m just…just too busy. That’s why…”

Rachel was saying to herself in the mind . Why did she have to explain? She did intentionally ignore his

calls!

“Were you so busy that you even had no time to eat?” Kenneth refused to let her go.

“I…” Rachel gulped. She clenched her teeth and cut her emotions off. Then she said in frustration,

“Can you stop being so shameless? You should be a gentleman if you want to make me as your

girlfriend. What you are doing now is just simply intolerable. Why should I answer your call? Do you

want me to sue you, Mr. Shawn, the CEO of Dragon Age?”

“Oh, I forgot. I thought you are still my wife.” Kenneth let go of her and said calmly.

Rachel was speechless and stared at him unbelievably.
