Have I Told You Lately novel Chapter 131

Rachel caught her breath. Then she turned to look at the ceiling above her head and said coldly, “How much does it matter to you whether I regret it or not? You can say that it doesn’t matter to you if I have gotten abortion. Just leave me out of this. You make it sound like I’ve been making trouble out of nothing and it’s all my fault.”

“......”

Kenneth set his nerves on edge because she tended to overanalyze negative points, but he didn’t dare to goad her too much. Kenneth pursed his lips, suddenly stood up and bent down. And then he bit her right on her lips. He breathed against her face, and said in muffled voice, “No. I want both.”

Rachel’s pupils were dilated for an instant. She got frozen, and felt her heart thumping rapidly.

He wanted both?

They were so close to each other. It was so quiet as if their sound of breathing had disappeared in this room.

The man stared at her eyelashes. It seemed that he didn’t get his expected reaction from her.

He frowned, and reached out his hand to gently fix the hair on her forehead. Then he said in a low and hoarse voice, “Haven’t you heard what I said?"

Rachel moved her stiff body slightly and gradually fixed her eyes on his. She could still feel his smell mixed with the tasty smell of the rain. She said nervously, “What do you mean by two? Two babies?”

That was true. She was pregnant with twins.

The man’s handsome face suddenly darkened. He bent down and kissed her on her lips.

It was only when they were almost breathless that he stopped and pinched her soft face. His voice was low and hoarse, “Rachel, don’t play dumb in front of me.”

Rachel blushed. She was shocked and stared at him with eyes wide open. She clenched her fists in the quilt nervously, and gritted teeth to force herself to calm down. Then she said, “Who…who taught you this?"

This man was really dull in love. He couldn’t have reflected on himself. Even if he really fell in love with someone, he couldn't have said these words.

Kenneth just looked at her, and did not say anything for a while.

Rachel had a sudden enlightenment, and then said in shock, “Did Geoffrey tell you to say this?"

Although she only met him for one time, she could tell that Geoffrey was really a womanizer. He had different kinds of tricks to deal with different women.

No wonder… this man had changed a lot recently, even Lillian had found he become mild on the outside bur wild on the inside.

Kenneth showed a serious expression, but did not deny that, “He knows these things better than me. So, I asked him for advice, and he gave me some references.”

“…”

Rachel felt so angry at him. It seemed that he had thrown a wet blanket on her and she didn’t feel nervous or touched any more.

She pinched his handsome face and felt speechless, “Kenneth, since he knows better than you, why don’t you just let him date me for you?”

She thought that the reason for his hospitality recently was either for the sake of the babies or for her sympathy. It turned out that there was someone teaching him to date a girl step by step.

“He doesn’t like you.” Kenneth sat up and held her in his arms. He couldn’t understand why she was so angry.

He tried to calm down and said, “Sorry, it is too late for me to recognize that. But Rachel, I am not as complex as you think. It has nothing to do with responsibility and sympathy. If I want to be with you, it is just you.”

“No matter who reminds me of this, from the beginning to the end, I am not willing to get divorced with you. I felt broken-hearted when I knew you were going to get married with another man. Since I don’t want to, why do I have to bear it all the time? Whether you accept it or not, I want both you and our babies.”

Both Geoffrey and Lillian had reminded him. He had also reflected on himself. But no matter how much he thought about it, the feeling he got when she was in danger was much more real.

After hearing his words, Rachel could not make responses for a long while. She couldn’t fully understand what he meant.

When she caught on, her first reaction was to lift the quilt to escape. But Kenneth didn’t give her the chance. He held her in his arms tightly and frowned, “Haven’t you understood me?”

“Kenneth, let go of…”

She must have been dreaming, or had a fever after getting wet in the rain, so she could hear Kenneth confess his love to her.

Although he still made his confession in a dull way, and Rachel couldn’t feel any romance, she still felt devastated and dizzy.
