Have I Told You Lately

Chapter 17: Your Happiness Is The Most Important Thing

Theresa didn’t ask any further questions, she simply said, “There are so many people in this world,

there will appear someone who you love and also love you back, sadness doesn’t last forever, your

happiness is the most important thing.”

Rachel made a sniffing sound, and mumbled in approval.

“Kenneth will sure come looking for me, but I don’t want to see him, please pass the divorce certificate

to him and let him sign it.”

“I know.”

Rachel then made a call to Osmond requesting to stay at his place. Osmond didn’t ask her anything but

just gave her the password to his door. Rachel brought alone Monica and left Theresa’s place.

The next afternoon, Kenneth drove all the way from J City and reached Theresa’s place.

Theresa opened the door and looked at him with a calm expression. “Anything I can help you?”

“Mother, is Rachel here?” Kenneth asked politely but his heart is definitely in a turmoil.

When he returned to the company, he only knew that the representative of Vantage Inc. was Rachel,

and she had left behind a ring in his office. When he called her, all he could hear was her crying and

asking for a divorce, her attitude seemed to be determined.

He was impeded by a few meetings before he could board a plane and rush here this afternoon.

“She’s not here, but she left something behind.”

Theresa turned around and disappeared into the house, and Kenneth took this chance to survey the

interior of the house. When he confirmed that Rachel was really not here, he felt defeated.

Theresa handed Kenneth a document.

Kenneth got a glimpse of a few words on that document and his face became hideous. “Mother, I am

not planning to divorce with Rachel.”

“But she had made up her mind to divorce with you.” Theresa said, “Kenneth Shawn, we never

mistreated you, and Rachel has always been loyal to you. But if things can’t proceed well from here on,

there’s nothing we can do.”

“I know I’m always busy with work, I have told her…”

“Are you sure you’re really busy with work?”

Theresa interrupted him. “Kenneth, have you ever loved my daughter all this while?”

Kenneth was standing there rooted to the spot as he remained silent.

When she saw him like this, Theresa’s tone became colder. “Kenneth, my daughter is just a woman, all

she ever wanted is giving birth to her child, and she is getting older by the day. She doesn’t have much

time to waste on you, if you really have some conscience, please let her go.”

Theresa stuffed the divorce certificate into Kenneth’s hands and directly shove him out of her house.

Kenneth held the divorce certificate while standing at the door and frozen to the spot.

He recalled that he had told Rachel that they would discuss the matter about divorce once he was back

from his business trip.

He never thought that all of a sudden, Rachel’s stance had become so rock solid.

Kenneth was getting frustrated now, he thought of Rachel’s company and immediately sped there. But

when he reached there, he discovered that Rachel had applied for leave, and it didn’t state how long

she would be away. It seemed that once he hadn’t sign the divorce certificate, she had vowed not to

appear in front of him. Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

He had hit a massive wall with nowhere to go in both places, and this greatly angered Kenneth. He

furiously tore apart the divorce certificate.

How could Rachel make the decision to get married before and to get a divorce now on her own? Did

she ever consider his opinion?

He vowed to meet Rachel to make things clear!

During the few days that Rachel had applied for leave, she was staying put in Osmond’s house, simply

spending time with Monica. She didn’t plan to go anywhere.

Theresa called and told her that Kenneth had arrived from J City the second day she had left and he

was looking for her everywhere. He even went to her company but Rachel only felt that he was being

ridiculous.

Before their marriage, Kenneth and she were people of two different worlds, their life was like a parallel

line that would never meet. They were only able to meet once a week back then. Now that they were

going to divorce, he only started to look for her everywhere. It was ironic.

“Mum, if he goes to your place again, don’t open the door.” Rachel said while calmly making an

appointment for abortion operation at the hospital.

If she couldn’t give the child a complete family, she would rather get rid of the child.

Rachel called for a lawyer to arrange for a visitation at the prison.

After waiting for some time, Rachel was only able to see her father being escorted by two policemen

into the communication room.

It seemed like Chapman did not have a good life, almost half of his hair had turned white and his back

was bent. When he laid eyes on Rachel, immeasurable guilt appeared on his face.

Rachel felt that her eyes were getting moist, she pointed at the phone and waited for Chapman to pick

up the phone. She said, “I have brought you something, I’ll send someone to bring it for you.

Judgement has been made.”

Chapman clutched the phone but he had a difficult time giving a reply. “Rachel, I am sorry to you.”
