Have I Told You Lately

Chapter 112: I Know Who She Is

Krista couldn’t help wondering what spell had that woman cast on Kenneth. Before they had divorced,

they seemed to be close to each other but privately they were not, and they talked with each other

politely. How come now...

Kenneth took a glance at the abundant dishes on the table. He curled up his lips into a mockery smile,

“You don’t believe your own son’s words, but you believe in those rumors outside.”

“I...” Krista was choked.

Kenneth picked up his chopsticks again. At random, he picked up some food and put it in his mouth.

He said in a lazy tone, “It’s my own business to help her or not. Please stop minding my business

recently. If you still care about the Shawn family’s dignity, just keep quiet.”

“Pak!”

Krista smashed her chopsticks on the table. Her well-kept face was full of fury. “You asked me not to

mind it. I can’t make the decision now, can I? You want to fall out with your mother just because of the

woman you’ve divorced. Kenneth Shawn, do you think I’m aged and useless so I’ve lost the abilities to

differ the lies?

“What kind of person Rachel Lewis is? Can’t you tell? Does she love you? She didn’t want to give birth

to your baby after marrying you for three years. You had been working so hard, but had she visited you

in the office once? Why do you still love such a woman who fully concentrated on her career?”

She knew that her son was stubborn sometimes. Once he had made up his mind, he wouldn’t change.

However, she wouldn’t allow Rachel to come back to this family.

Kenneth lowered his head and ate the food. He didn’t stop but his eyes were darkened. “You don’t

know something. You don’t need to teach me how to see through a person.”

Back then, Rachel didn’t have any idea what he was busy with. Since she didn’t ask, he didn’t take the

initiative to tell her either.

After listening to Lillian’s words that day, he had thought it through. Probably there was something that

he hadn’t understood. Even if he could understand what was on her mind, he could only understand

the current Rachel. He had no idea what was on her mind within those three years at all.

“You!” Krista felt dizzy because of the anger. She closed her eyes, panting. Then she pushed her bowl

and chopsticks away, stood up, and said coldly, “I won’t eat. Suit yourself.”

As she spoke, she rushed upstairs in anger.

There was no fluctuation in Kenneth’s eyes. When he heard the bedroom door upstairs was smashed

close, he pulled out a tissue and wiped his mouth. Then he stood up slowly. “Megan.”

“Yes, Mr. Shawn?”

“Clean them up. Make some midnight snacks for her later. Send me a message after she goes to bed.”

“Okay, Mr. Shawn.” Megan nodded. Then she asked, “Will you stay here overnight?”

“No. I still have something to deal with.”

He picked up his coat and walked out of the door without staying any longer.

After sleeping soundly for a whole night, Rachel got up in the early morning the next day.

The doctor had arranged the surgery to be taken in the morning, so she started to get everything

prepared after getting up.

Osmond called her. He kept asking her about the address. Rachel couldn’t refuse him so she had to ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

inform him.

As soon as he arrived at the hospital and saw the pinch mark on her neck, Osmond’s face fell. “What

happened to you? Who did it?”

“There was an accident yesterday. Everything’s past.” Rachel smiled without any care. Then she

waved at Monica. “Come here.”

The little girl was joyful. She ran up to Rachel immediately.

Rachel pinched her soft and tender little cheek and kissed on it. Then she asked with a smile, “You’ve

gained some weight. You’ve also become taller. Did you miss me?”

The little girl blinked her crystal clear eyes, nodding.

Osmond looked down at the woman’s charming smile, he gradually frowned. Complication surged in

his eyes. He whispered, “Rach, how are you recently?”

Although it seemed there was nothing changed, she had refused him a lot of times and she had

become more decisive than she used to be. Osmond could clearly feel so. He didn’t come over

because he was afraid that she would felt awkward, and also he didn’t want to make trouble for her.

However, if a person wouldn’t take the initiative, there would be no opportunity at all.

Rachel was teasing Monica happily. Upon hearing it, she looked up at him, her smile fading. However,

her tone was still indifferent and calm. “No matter good or bad, I’ve been through it. Now I’m very well.”

“But, we are friends, Rach. Your father is also my teacher. I can’t just stand by and watch. If I can help

you with anything, please do let me know.”

Rachel smiled, looking fresh and bright. “If I want to hide something from you, I would have done it long

ago. You’ve already lent me two million, which is the greatest help to me already. If I still bother you

with the rest trifles, I would have a stricken conscience. Osmond, I truly have owed you too much.”

When she was speaking the last sentence, her expression was quite serious, but soon it disappeared.

Osmond was taken aback, staring at her without saying anything.

When they were chatting, Maurice approached them from afar. He nodded to Osmond as greeting, and

then he said to Rachel, “Excuse me, Miss Lewis. The police station called. They want you to go over

and make a statement about the incident yesterday.”

Rachel was stunned for a moment. “Right now?”

“Yes.”

Letting go of Monica, Rachel stood up. “All right. I’ll straighten myself up and go there right away.”

Osmond took back his daughter, frowning. “May I go with you?”

Before Rachel answered, Maurice chimed in flatly, “Mr. Cox, please no bother. I’ll drive Miss Lewis

there.”

Osmond looked at him up and down, slightly frowning.

He didn’t know this man, but he had seen a lot of people. Judging from his temperament, ways of

talking, and behaviors, Osmond guessed that he was a professional bodyguard. Upon Rachel’s current

financial status, she couldn’t afford such a professional bodyguard.

Rachel felt a bit embarrassed. With a smile, she said, “Osmond, I can go there myself. Thank you,

though. Could you please keep an eye here for me?”

Osmond withdrew his gaze. After adjusting his emotion, he nodded calmly. “Sure. Go ahead, please.

Be careful on the way.”

Rachel changed her clothes. After sitting in the car, she took her cosmetics and applied a layer of

powder on her face. Then she wore some lipstick. She didn’t look pale any longer. However, the pinch

mark on her neck was still quite obvious. Since the policeman would ask her about it, she didn’t try to

cover it with the concealer.

Maurice was sitting in the driver's seat and driving steadily. His good-looking face was still serious,

showing no emotion.

After putting on the makeup, Rachel felt more relaxed. She said, “Maurice, you’ve been helping me

these days. I haven’t had a chance to thank you yet.”

Maurice was taken aback for a moment. Then he slightly smiled. “Miss Lewis, you are welcome. I’m

just doing what I’ve ordered to do, working for my boss.”

“Is your boss Ken... Mr. Shawn?”

Kenneth had said that he worked for a home guard company. Maurice seldom talked these days.

Whenever she asked him to do something, he would obey her orders without asking anything else. He

always looked serious. Those behaviors indeed met the requirements for being a bodyguard.

Sure enough, it was true that all bodyguards looked cool.

“No. My boss is a friend of Mr. Shawn. Mr. Shawn asked my boss for a favor so he sent me here. Miss

Lewis, if you want to say ‘thanks’, please express your gratitude to Mr. Shawn instead. I’m just an

ordinary employee of my company.”

Rachel curled her lips. “Well, in this case, I should thank your boss then. I don’t need to thank him.”
