Have I Told You Lately

Chapter 82: Self-torturing Trick

After ordering the steamed buns, steamed dumplings, and rice porridge, Rachel particularly ordered

meatloaf for him. Kenneth hadn’t eaten for so many hours, so she guessed that he was indeed starved.

While waiting for the dishes to be served, Rachel didn’t talk to him. She lowered her head to play with

her cell phone, trying her best to ignore him.

Kenneth looked down at her side face. Looking at her slender and curly eyelashes, he asked in a flat

tone, “Did Ogden Reed contact you again?”

Rachel’s eyes flickered. Without looking up at him, she answered, “It’s related to my work. I didn’t have

any reason to reject him.”

“But you were quite straightforward when rejecting me.”

Rachel was taken aback for a moment. She sensed there was something wrong from his tone. Glinting

at him with an odd look, she answered, “He’s a bad guy, but do you think you are a good man? Of

course, I can reject one or the other.”

Kenneth frowned with dissatisfaction. “I’ve never wanted to hurt you.”

Rachel put down her cell phone, her fingers fiddling with the tableware in front of her. With a disdainful

sneer, she said, “Don’t you know this sentence is a standard quotation for scums and bitches online?

You move yourself only but you did hurt others.”

Moreover, Rachel didn’t think he knew what he was talking about. She wondered if he said that

because of love or just humanity.

The man creased his brows more tightly. Suddenly, he said, “Geoffrey said you like me.”

Rachel’s face stiffened. Staring at him in silence for a few seconds, she suddenly smiled brightly.

Raising her eyebrows, she mocked, “I’ve never known he’s a love expert.”

“He’s not. He just has made a lot of girlfriends,” the man explained seriously.

“Oh, I see. Just because you haven’t made so many girlfriends as he had, you don’t understand it, do

you?”

The man didn’t answer, so Rachel took it as acquiescence.

Rachel supported her chin with a hand, curling up her pink lips. She enjoyed looking at his handsome

face with sarcasm in her eyes. “If that’s the case, you should call yourself an idiot. Don’t you

understand the desire-driven from your private part? I slept with you for three years. You even needed

an outsider to tell you what love is. Kenneth Shawn, you are heartless, aren’t you?”

“So, what he said was right, wasn’t it?” Kenneth only cared about this.

It was indeed his fault. He had never considered or cared about her thoughts. In the beginning, he

didn’t think that the physical desire would mean anything to him. When he needed it, he naturally

thought of her. However, after experiences so many things, he gradually understood something.

Rachel’s mouth corners twitched.

He was indeed a male chauvinist.

“I’m hungry. Let’s eat.” Noticing the waiter was approaching them, Rachel looked away and completely

ignored him.

The man gripped her wrist and glinted at her. “You haven’t answered me yet.”

Rachel was speechless.

Biting her low lip and casting a glance at her wrist, she unhurriedly asked, “Don’t you want me to have Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

breakfast in peace?”

Kenneth pulled a long face, but he let go of her hand.

Rachel picked up a steamed bun with her chopsticks, ignored him, and started eating by herself. Her

lips were curled up into a smile.

When she was involved in the game, she couldn’t see things clearly; now as an onlooker, she realized

something instead. Perhaps it was not a regretful thing to get divorced.

After they had finished breakfast, it was totally bright outside. The sun hadn’t risen yet and it was a little

foggy.

Arriving at the hotel entrance, Rachel returned his jacket to him. She said lightly, “Now we’ve finished

eating. We also talked. You should go home.”

The man nodded expressionlessly.

Rachel withdrew her gaze, turned around, and left.

However, she stopped after a few steps. Glaring at the man following her, she asked, “Why are you still

here?”

The man’s expression remained. He answered firmly, “I’m exhausted. Drowsy driving is quite

dangerous. I need a rest.”

As he spoke, he passed her by and directly walked directly into the hotel.

Rachel gaped at him, but she couldn’t find any word to rebut. Then she understood that she was

tricked again.

This man came to her in early morning. While playing the self-tortured trick, he checked in the hotel.

He had said he would return to City N in the morning.

Asshole!

Shameless!

The more she thought about it, the more she was furious. Within just a few seconds, she became

enraged. Moving her slender legs, she rushed to him, grabbed his arm with a darkened face, gritted her

teeth, and growled, “Kenneth Shawn!”

The man looked down and glanced at his arm. He asked in a lazy tone, “Aren’t you afraid of being seen

by others?”

Rachel subconsciously let go of him. She looked more annoyed. “You tricked me!”

The man kept walking forward. As he moved, he smiled. In a soft tone, he said, “What did I trick you

for? You said I’m not made of the steel. Since I’ve been working for such a long time, I’m exhausted for

sure. There happened to be a hotel here. Why would I waste my energy to look for another one?”

Rachel subconsciously followed him, raising her voice. “You’ve booked a room, but why did you knock

at my door at midnight?”

She was sure that he had done it deliberately.

During breakfast, she mocked that he was heartless. It turned out that she had been tricked. He was

with an evil heart.

“The purpose I came here is to meet you.”

“You...” Rachel choked.

“Besides, if you keep speaking so loudly, you’ll wake others up.” Kenneth curled up his lips. Stroking

her hair, he held her to walk forward. With a slight smile, he said, “Let’s go. I won’t take a rest. Let’s

argue in your room.”

Rachel was speechless.

She felt a sharp pang in her heart. Pursing her lips, she looked annoyed.

The man took her to the room door calmly. Taking a glance at the next door, he suddenly asked, “Shall

we go to my room or yours?”

His tone was serious but it sounded quite ambiguous.

Rachel turned red and livid. Afraid that she would wake up others, she dared not to scold him loudly.

Gritting her teeth, she pushed him away fiercely. “Don’t let me see you again!”
