Have I Told You Lately novel Chapter 133

Thinking of this, Rachel got angry, “You dare to mention it! You forgot your friends as soon as you found new love! Tell me, when did you both collude?”

Rachel knew Lillian the best, not only did she always got involved in her friend’s personal matters, besides, she had always been sticking up for her friends. She was the kind of person who had to go look at a fight at the roadside. How could she abandon her so quickly?

Being pregnant really made her stupid.

“Rachel! You are too much! What collusion? Why would you say such a vulgar thing? I got to know Mr. Shawn through you. I can’t cheat a friend’s husband, it’s preposterous.”

Rachel rolled her eyes angrily and her voice rose a bit, “Lillian! Don’t pretend to be so naive! Don’t try to fool me, how much did he give you?”

“Well… Don’t be too angry, be careful of the baby.” Scared of her, Lillian sighed and then said suspiciously, “Why are you so angry? Did something happen after I left?”

Rachel calmed herself down with a sip of water, then laid down on the quilt casually, and lowered her voice, “Nothing happened.”

“Liar.” Lillian didn’t believe her but she didn’t ask too much. Her voice calmed down a bit as she said, “Rach, actually, you should try to let go of the past, get to know him again and start it all over again. Do it again for your baby. Which child does not want a complete family? You are going to get married again anyway, you can’t stay single for your whole life. Now that there’s no bondage of marriage, you can do whatever you want, won’t you feel a bit more free?”

Rachel was startled. She opened her mouth a bit, thinking about it.

True.

Shouldn’t she be more free now? Why did she imprison herself? Even when she didn’t owe anyone, she still pushed herself in to the corner with nowhere to go.

Scratching her hair, she buried her small face in the quilt and closed her eyes before saying weakly, “Thank you, Lillian, but I am feeling very vexed right now.”

She sullenly told her briefly about what happened at the noon, which made her scream immediately.

“Fuck, he finally got smart.”

Rachel was left speechless.

“What do you mean by finally? Did you already know something?”

“Uh! No, nothing. I was just a little surprised.” Lillian exhaled silently as he held her chest with a guilty conscience and then said with a smile, “Sure enough, smart men are capable of understanding everything. Looks like he has reflected a lot during this time.”

She had been looking down on Shawn, thinking he still needed some time. But now, it seemed like she was going to be attending the wedding soon.

Rachel became more and more disheartened by what she said and then hung up the phone without chatting much.

After thinking for a while alone in the room, she suddenly received a call from Mr. Lopez.

“Hello, Mr. Lopez”

“Rachel, are you okay now?”

Rachel hesitated for a moment, “Um, yeah. Why are you calling me, Mr. Lopez?”

The leader asked her, it was just a way of being polite, she had to answer that she was fine no matter what. But hearing what he said made her regret the henchman issue just now.

“Isn’t Mr. Reed going back today? He is almost at the airport; can you go see him off? I can’t leave right now.”

“It’s just that even if I rush to the airport… will I get there in time?” ‘If you can’t go, don’t you have a secretary? Must you call me? Didn’t you eat together yesterday?’

“He said his flight is in the evening, but I don’t know the exact time. It is still early. You should be able to meet him if you hurry.”

Mr. Lopez’s statement was reasonable, so she couldn’t refute it. After a while when she opened her mouth, she could only agree, “… Okay, I will change my clothes and go.”

“Okay. Thank you for this!”

“It’s not a problem. You should continue your work.” Rachel finished speaking with a smile and hung up the phone, inwardly wanting to curse at him.

No matter how dissatisfied she was, she had to obey. She changed her clothes and found a hat to cover the scar on her forehead. She took the car keys and went out.

It’s just that not long after her car left the complex, a black car also left.

Once inside the airport, Rachel called to find him and finally saw a few people in the VIP lounge.

“Mr. Reed.”

Ogden hadn’t expected that she would come until the phone call, and the astonishment on his face had faded away leaving a gentle smile, “Miss Lewis, thank you for coming here.”

Rachel pursed her lips, “It’s not a problem. Mr. Reed, you have been taking care of Vantage for so long since you have been in City N. How could I not come to send you off? It’s just that Mr. Lopez was busy and couldn’t come so I came alone.”

Before she finished saying, he suddenly approached her and reached out to touch the brim of her hat, catching a glimpse of the bandage on her head. The gentle expressions suddenly became serious, “How did you get injured?”

Rachel was taken aback and she subconsciously stepped back. She saw that there were other people of his group present. She fixed her hat and smiled awkwardly, “It’s nothing. I carelessly fell and hurt myself a little.”

Ogden frowned and reprimanded her worriedly, “You bled and you still call it a little? What if it leaves a scar? Come on, I will take you to the infirmary.”

As soon as he said this, not only Rachel but even the female secretary looked at him in surprise. Rachel waved her hand dismissively and refused with a dry smile, “It’s really okay, Mr. Reed. I have already been to the hospital, thank you.”

He looked very decent and smiled very gently but he inexplicably made her feel uneasy. He looked very much like an animal being looked at by its prey, just waiting for the right time to pounce.

“If it is inconvenient for you, then my secretary can go with you. We still have time and the bandage on your head needs to be changed.” He said calmly and then looked at his secretary.

She nodded, smiling as she stepped forward, “Miss Lewis, it will be a pity if your beautiful face gets scarred. Let me accompany you.”

Rachel’s smile was a bit stiff, “This…”

“Mr. Reed, you are leaving so soon?”

As soon as she opened her mouth, she was interrupted by a voice behind her. Taken aback, she turned around to look and her expressions changed suddenly.

How could he be here?
