Have I Told You Lately
Chapter 42: He Deserves This

แ

"Ken- Kenneth!" Rachel's eyes widened instantly, and her mind became blank.

The man slightly cocked his head as he approached her.

Rachel felt a sudden burning sensation on her cheeks as she was about to raise her hand to push him away.

"No, you can't..."

Rachel stared in disbelief at him. They were already divorced, how could they do this.

"What do you mean I can't?" The man's dark eyes were shining with searing passion, as if they were threatening to maul her.

"Aren't you the one who always wishes for this to happen?"

The man's words immediately caused Rachel to feel embarrassed. Her mind was in a hot mess, and she raised her palm to give him a slap across his handsome face.

The crisp sound reverberated across the room.

Rachel was astonished.

He did not dodge her.

The light in Kenneth's eyes gradually dimmed, and this pair of dark eyes were now piercing through her.

Rachel trembled from the bottom of her heart and she retreated without her realizing it. She mumbled, "Who... who let you say that, you... you deserve this."

Will he retaliate?

The man stared at her for a few moments, but he did not act according to her imagination. A faint smile traced his lips as he muttered in a low voice, "You are right, I deserve this..."

Things had come to this, and it was indeed his fault.

Rachel had a strange look in her eyes as she lowered her head and bit her lips.

"Knock, knock!"

At this inappropriate time, there was somebody knocking at the door from outside the room.

Rachel immediately paled in composure as she turned around to fix her attire.

Kenneth peeked at her momentarily before answering faintly, "Come in."

The door was pushed open, and Sabrina came in with two glasses of water. Her eyes immediately fell on Rachel, but Rachel's back was facing her now, hence she didn't notice anything unusual about Rachel. She smiled and said, "Kenneth, water."

She placed a glass of water on the office desk, and headed towards Rachel. "Miss Rachel, your water."

Rachel finally was done with fixing her attire, but she did not have time to check her lips. When she heard somebody talking to her, she pretended to be calm and accepted the glass while saying, "Thank you." Sabrina detected her swollen lips and the blush which still remained on her face. Her eyes dimmed, and her smile was frozen on her lips.

While holding the tray tightly, she threw a glance at Kenneth and said, "Kenneth, you should show Miss Rachel around here."

Without waiting for him to reply, Rachel answered right away, "Thank you for your concern, Sabrina."

She couldn't imagine sharing a same space with him any longer.

Sabrina showed a faint smile and said, "You're welcome."

Kenneth did not say a word the whole time, and Rachel who was going to leave shot a look at Monica who was sleeping soundly on the sofa and produced a slight smile, "Mr. Kenneth, please help me to look after the child, I'll be back shortly."

Out of the president's office, Sabrina's facial expression was instantly transformed as all traces of her previous smile disappeared. Her temperament was extremely suffocating.

Rachel could obviously feel that, but she didn't say anything about it as a few of the company's employees were heading in their direction. "Good day, Sabrina."

Those people said their greetings at the same time, but this woman didn't even blink at them. She continued her stride in her high heels. Rachel raised her eyebrows wordlessly.

When they turned a corner, Rachel smiled faintly and said, "Sabrina, I think I will show myself around here, you can continue with your work."

When the woman turned around, her face was already dark and cold. She glared at her and said, "Rachel, you're the most shameless person I have ever known. You were divorced for so long, yet you still appear in front of him as if to make sure he never forgets you. Do you think he will consider marrying you again?"

Rachel's expression casually became relaxed, and her tone was deepened a few degrees. There was no sign of anger in her voice, "What I am doing has nothing to do with you, Sabrina. If you like him and he can reciprocate your feelings, what are you in a hurry for?"

"Rachel!"

Sabrina was momentarily stunned by her rage, but she let out a cold laugh shortly, "Of course he does like me, even if he doesn't like me, the only one qualified to marry him is people like me. Rachel, you're not worthy of him back then, and you're not worthy of him now too. In my opinion you're suited to be a stepmother to others, both of you will be marrying for the second time. You will make a fine pair." Rachel remained undisturbed and looked at her as she laughed, "I always wonder who could possibly qualified to be Mr. Kenneth's woman. I never thought that it would be someone like you, Sabrina, who is rude, arrogant and someone who was from a family who suddenly became rich overnight. I am humbled!"

She really did some background research on Sabrina's family a while ago when she was bored, and she always held the perception she would be from an affluent or educated, noble family. In the end, it turned out that her father suddenly became rich because of properties business, the type that became rich overnight. She was far from being associated with a noble family.

The woman's face was now reddened with anger, and she pointed at her trembling with rage, "You... you... Rachel, even if I'm a nouveau riche, I'm still better than a daughter of a corrupted judge!" Rachel's expression slightly changed.

When Sabrina saw her face, she gradually calmed down, and there was a prideful look on her face. "You should just give up. You're the daughter of a corrupted judge. The Shawn family would never consider you again, not to mention Kenneth had never loved you. Don't stick your nose into this matter, you guys are done."

Kenneth had never loved her.

Rachel somehow felt that although this was a fact that he had acknowledged, it was still different when she had heard this from someone else.

It took her a lot to let go of such feelings, but now she was provoked again.

She lowered her eyes, and suddenly let out a laugh. There were signs of sarcasm on her face, "I am the one who had decided for a divorce, do you think I will pick up something that I've thrown away?"

Sabrina was now wearing a hideous expression on her face.0000
