Have I Told You Lately

Chapter 13: Am I Your Toy?

Rachel didn't have to wait for an answer. She understood everything just by looking at Kenneth

frowning at her. She smiled, "There's no need to look like that. I already know the answer. So, can we

just let each other go now?"

Rachel broke her hand free from his grip and squatted down to pick up the vegetables. She acted fine

but her eyes were red.

She was still holding on to some hope. If she could see a little panic and love in Kenneth's eyes, she

thought his heart might melt a little and she might not insist on divorcing him.

However, he was so calm that she could not see anything in his eyes. What else could she do then?

She didn't even have the courage to ask him about him and Sabrina; what relationship did they have?

Rachel very calmly picked up the vegetables and carried everything towards the entrance of the

building. However, seeing her like that, Kenneth panicked. His body reacted faster than his mind as he

ran and stood in front of her and blocked her way.

In the past three years of marriage, Rachel had occasionally lost her temper, and he could bear her

messing with him. However, when she said she wanted divorce, he felt flustered and didn’t want to

believe it.

"Is it about your father?" Kenneth asked, "I've already asked someone to help me..."

"No, I will take care of that myself!" Rachel interrupted him, "Our divorce has nothing to do with it."

"How would you take care of it? Two million is not a small amount. "Kenneth was sure that something

was wrong.

Rachel tightly pursed her lips and didn't answer.

Kenneth approached her and said in a voice cold and distant, "Rachel, you wanted to marry me, you

did as you wanted. But now that you want a divorce, you just expect me to sign it for you. What do you

think I am? Am I your toy?"

"That is not what I…" Rachel wanted to explain, but Kenneth suddenly kissed her directly on her lips.

The kiss was more ferocious than ever before, as if he was punishing her on purpose.

Rachel felt hot all over her body and her brain felt confused.

It was the second time Kenneth had kissed her besides when they are in bed.

Kenneth kissed her deeply, until the cell phone in his pocket rang noisily. He didn’t stop kissing her until

he connected the call. His face was calm but he held Rachel close, fearing she’d run upstairs.

"What is it?" He spoke into the phone.

"Singapore? Okay. Book my ticket for tomorrow morning. "

Kenneth always kept his work calls short and clear; he ended the call in less than three minutes.

Looking at Rachel, he felt helpless, "I have to go to Singapore for a week. I will talk about divorce when

I come back."

Rachel said mercilessly, "It's just divorce. I've already signed the papers. Just sign them!"

Kenneth tore up the divorce papers into pieces. Then he said softly, "A marriage can’t just be over if

you want it to. The other person also needs to consider it. Rachel, don't be such a child. "

Rachel laughed with anger. Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

He needs to consider it?

Ha! Ridiculous. It was her who married a heartless monster. These three years were really just a waste

of her youth.

Rachel wanted to keep her ground, but Kenneth raised his hand and patted her head softly. Then he

casually took the grocery bags from her and said, "I haven't seen Mom in a long time. I'll go meet her

with you."

Just a short sentence from him made Rachel soft and she went upstairs with him obdiently.

Theresa was surprised to see Kenneth, but she nodded when he greeted her and continued to watch

the TV series.

Kenneth accompanied Rachel to the kitchen to deal with the ingredients. Rachel cooked and he helped

her. They did not talk much, just like they were in their own apartment; from beginning till end neither

one of them mentioned the divorce.

The apartment Rachel rented for her mother had one bedroom and one living room. With Rachel living

with her, it seemed a bit crowded. There was no place for Kenneth to sleep, plus, she didn’t want him to

stay.

After dinner, Kenneth sat with Rachel and Theresa to watch TV. Seeing that it was late, he got up to

leave.

"Rachel, won’t you see me off?"

"Why? Are you a child?" Rachel said, not willing to get up from the sofa. As a result, Kenneth just stood

there waiting for her to move until Theresa coughed pointedly and Rachel reluctantly got up.

Kenneth was obviously still worried. After going downstairs, he repeated, "We will discuss the divorce

after I come back from Singapore."
