Have I Told You Lately novel Chapter 136

Kenneth Shawn didn’t speak anymore.

Ogden Reed tilted his head and spoke in a mocking tone, “But, I don’t see you wear it anymore. Did anything happen?”

Rachel Lewis’s heart skipped a beat and she pretended to look away subconsciously and carelessly.

On the other hand, Kenneth didn’t display anything unusual. He calmly lifted and looked at his slender finger, and smiled, “You don’t have to worry about me and my wife, Mr. Reed. We just re-ordered a new pair that hasn’t arrived yet. It looks good. I’ll recommend the designer to you on another day, so you can make an appointment in advance.”

Rachel pursed her lips and coldly smiled inside.

He was such a good liar; his face didn’t turn red and his heart didn’t skip a beat.

Ogden glanced at Rachel, then looked at him, and laughed, “I probably won’t be able to use wedding rings for now. Such an honorable man like Mr. Shawn must have a good relationship with his wife.”

“It’s alright.” Kenneth stood there straight and silent like he didn’t want to say anything more. Although it was only two simple words, it displayed the doting love.

Rachel’s heart raced, and she stared at him in a daze.

Ogden looked at her as if he remembered something, with an apologetic tone, “I’m sorry, Ms. Lewis. Are you alright?”

Everyone there knew she just divorced. Suddenly talking about loving couples might naturally be a little impolite.

Rachel was suddenly awakened. She smiled and looked at Kenneth’s eyes meaningfully, “I’m alright, but a man as good as Mr. Shawn makes one really envious of Mrs. Shawn. He protected her so well that the internet doesn’t have any information about her.”

He looked back at her with deep and focused eyes, a light smile on his face, and a soft voice but stressed words, “Ms. Lewis’ husband also makes one really envious. He protected you so well; only a few knew about your divorce.”

“…” Rachel was speechless for a moment, but smiled instead with a dim grin, “Now that you’ve said it, Mr. Shawn. It looks like I have to set a Back-to-Single party with family and friends. Or else, if I get close to any man, people might think I have cheated while married.”

His aura suddenly became extremely cold and the way he looked at her was scary.

Ogden seemed to have been amused by her words, and joked, “If Ms. Lewis announces that she’s single again, Vantage Inc.’s gate will be crushed by her suitor.”

Rachel curled her lips casually, “I’m not young anymore. I can’t just focus on one man, right?”

Kenneth silently stared at her, with his eyes gradually darkening.

They chatted for a while, then the secretary reminded Ogden of the time, “Mr. Reed, it’s time.”

“That was fast.” Ogden slightly frowned, then stood up and looked at them with a faint smile, “Mr. Shawn, drop by F&R Group sometime.”

“Definitely.” Kenneth slowly got up.

“Ms. Lewis, call me if you need anything and take care.”

Rachel nodded and smiled, “Thanks Mr. Reed, take care too.”

After the small talk, Ogden left with his secretary and a few staff members.

After they left, Rachel said nothing and was about to leave.

Kenneth accurately clasped her wrist, his unhappiness no longer concealed, “Didn’t you agree to stay away from him?”

Rachel sneered coldly, “If I am the boss of Dragon Age, I won’t even want to look at him once, including you. You think I’m willing to smile at you? Let go!”

He frowned, “You couldn’t dare reject him, yet you’re ridiculing me. Who gave you that courage?”

Rachel raised her eyebrow, “I thought you knew me well. Now that we’ve already offended each other, do you still expect me to keep on pretending? Besides, it’s not that you have a big mouth, but I’m not in the mood to care about you. Also, this is the first time I know that Mr. Shawn has a habit of stalking other people.”

The blue veins on his forehead jumped, and his gloomy eyes wished they could eat her. He sneered, “It looks like I disturbed your good event. Gifting flowers and a watch, indeed, not a lot of women have that chance. He’s probably not far yet. You can chase after him.”

After the words fell, he let go of her hand and walked out with his long legs blankly.

Rachel stood still for a while. She was so angry she could bite someone.

How could he have the nerve to be angry?

She should be the one who’s angry. He embarrassed her for so long.

This narrow-minded bastard!

As soon as she came out, Rachel instinctively looked for him. But after looking around and not seeing him anywhere, she thought he really left like that and she felt strangely suffocated.

“I haven’t left.”

A cold abrupt voice came from behind and startled her.

Rachel rolled her eyes and stared at him, “What does it have to do with me whether you left or not?”

He opened something on his hand and casually said, “Were you not looking for me a while ago?”

Rachel’s eyes flashed, “Keep your narcissism aside, I was looking for the exit.”

Kenneth didn’t continue to argue with her, and said softly, “Take it.”

Rachel lowered her head subconsciously and was stunned when she saw the disposable emergency kit on his hand, “You left a while ago…to find this?”

He lifted the hat off her head and raised his eyebrow, “Or what? You think I left already?”

Rachel cleared her throat, and helplessly raised her hand, “I’ll do it myself.”

“You don’t have eyes on your forehead, so don’t waste it. I asked this from other people.” Kenneth dodged her hand and calmly removed the blood-stained gauze. With his head lowered, he covered a new one gently.

You’re the one who’s blind!

Rachel cursed silently and didn’t move anymore. She even cooperated by slightly lowering her head as her ears slowly turned red.

After putting on the gauze, Kenneth gazed at her well-behaved lowered head. His heart pulled strings and he grabbed the back of her head and gently kissed her cheek.

“…”

She thought that he was still changing her gauze, so she was so surprised and stunned. It took a few seconds for her to realize that they were still in the airport lobby. Their expressions were spectacular.

He curled his lips, and before she became angry, he put her hat on, and held her hand out. The movements were smooth and done in one go.

Beside the car, Rachel shook his hand off and pressed her hat down to conceal her panic. She was extremely angry, “Who’s acting like a great husband a while ago inside and becoming a pervert right now?”

Kenneth looked at her angry face and chuckled, “It’s only you and me here. Do I still need to act? Or do you want me to tell him that the wife I’m protecting well is you?”

“It’s ex-wife!” Rachel emphasized with gritted teeth.

He raised his hand and touched her head. His calm and pleased voice gave the illusion of softening, “Whether in front or behind, there’s no one else.”
