Have I Told You Lately
Chapter 65: You Are Under My Watch During This Period of Time

Kenneth didn't force him. He smiled and look at the direction in front of him, "You are a good man, Mr. Cox." "That's an overstatement, Mr. Shawn. It's just that I prefer a simple life and I want nothing more than that."

Kenneth remained silent.

A few minutes later, both of the guys walked into the coffee shop and seated themselves.

Osmond seated Monica carefully and gave her some snacks. He then ordered two cups of coffee, organize his thoughts and said, "I see Mr. Shawn is still holding onto Rachel?" Kenneth sat in the chair casually and stared at Monica who was enjoying her snacks, "This is between us, I don't think Mr. Cox has much to do with it."

However, what he was thinking is, "Rachel likes this kind of homely guy now? One who is good with children, good in cooking and would take care of the old folks?"

Other than taking care of children, he knew how to do all the other things. Don't Rachel think it is ridiculous to divorce him and remarried another guy who's identical with him?

What did she want exactly?

Love?

Kenneth didn't think Rachel loves Osmond.

Living?

He didn't think their life was that bad back then. He would do whatever she wants him to and he never argues with her. Even when she said she didn't want to do house chores, he agreed with that. Wasn't those enough for her?

"But I'm a lawyer. Didn't it occur to Mr. Shawn that you are going to bring troubles to Rachel?" Osmond frowned and looked at Kenneth in a piercing glare.

Kenneth was stunned, "What are you saying?"

"Your mother."

Kenneth suddenly realized what Osmond was talking about.

"I know what to do with her. Before everything is settled, I wouldn't let anyone knows."

"Settled?" Osmond smiled and stroked Monica, "The current condition of Rachel shows that she doesn't possess the ability to raise the children. What do you plan to do? She isn't going to remarry you. So other than paying alimony, all you can do is to take away the children by law. Your mother will definitely not going to accept the first option but I think she is going to be excited to bring about the second option.'

Kenneth didn't know what to say.

After a while, he looked at Osmond and asked in a lowered tone, "What do you suggest me to do, Mr. Cox?"

His mother was a big trouble. He knew her well. If she found out about the children, she'll not let go of them.

Osmond stirred his coffee and voice out calmly, "As compared to money, she will choose the children. Mr. Shawn, you could pretend that you didn't know about this and stay away from her. After the babies are born, I think she will give you a chance to visit them."

This was exactly Rachel's plan.

Kenneth smiled without even thinking too much about the suggestion. His eyes are covered with coldness, "Is Mr. Cox planning to take over my place? I'm not interested in any legal consultations. The children are mine and I'm their father. We each have our own children to take care of. You should spend more time on her. That specialist I was telling you just now, he is really great."

Kenneth pointed at Monica with his chin. He stood up and said in a polite but cold tone, "Thank you for your coffee. I have something else to attend to now. Goodbye."

Osmond's eyes darkened. There were some inexplicable emotions in his eyes.

He remained silent and watched Kenneth left.

Osmond understood what Kenneth meant exactly. Kenneth wasn't going to give Rachel or the children up.

A few minutes later, Osmond lowered his head and gently looked at Monica, "Monica, do you like Aunty Rachel?"

The little girl was startled for a few second. She titled her head and looked at him, then she smiled and nodded. After that, she continued enjoying her snacks.

Osmond stroked her forehead gently with his fingers. His lips curved into an upward curve and his eyes contained an inexplicable emotion.

Since Rachel doesn't need to go to work, she stayed in the ward to keep Theresa accompanied. After having lunch, she took out her laptop and dealt with some work agenda. When Theresa was asleep, Rachel diverted her attention from work, did some stretching and decided to go for a walk to the garden downstairs.

Rachel took a rest on the bench after she got tired of walking around. Suddenly, an urge for thirst came along. She looked around and found a drink stall.

She walked over, took a glance of their menu and made her order, "A glass of milktea, please."

Suddenly, another voice interrupted her, "I'm sorry, we don't need that."

Before Rachel knew it, the person grabbed her arm and pulled her away from the stall.

Rachel became furious when she finally saw who pulled her away, "Kenneth, what are you doing here? What do me and my milk tea have to do with you?"

Kenneth replied calmly as he walked, "Those are not good for your body. What do you want to drink? I'll go and buy it now."

Rachel didn't know what to react.

She then shook off his hand in frustration, "Kenneth, enough is enough. Even if you don't do anything, I could still deliver the babies safely. So you won't need to force yourself to do anything for me. Would you please go and do whatever you need to do and stay away from me?"

"No, I won't," Kenneth looked at her in a demanding look, "I knew all about your bad habits. I don't want the babies to get into ICU right after they are born. So, you are under my watch during this period of time."

"And I promise you I wouldn't tell anyone about your babies."

Rachel didn't know what to say.

What an asshole.

What bad habit was he talking about? Smoking and drinking? She stopped all that after she's pregnant. He thought she didn't know how to take care of her own children?

Looking at her disgusted look, Kenneth smiled and stroked her hair, then gently said, "Alright, I thought you said you are thirsty? Let's go get some drinks."

Rachel's outfits were causal as it was not her work outfit. She didn't put any makeups on and her hair was messy. She looked more feminine and less aggressive as compared to her usual work field attitude. Her clean and fair face got rounder due to her pregnancy and it added a sense of blissfulness onto her face. Kenneth loved the way she looked right now.

Kenneth's gentleness in his voice got Rachel stunned for a few second. She quickly woke up from it, stared at him and said in a fierce tone, "What are we waiting for then? Do you want to kill me with dehydration?"

Kenneth was speechless.

"Alright, let's go."

He held her hand and walked in front of her. His handsome face is covered in a sweet smile.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
