Have I Told You Lately

Chapter 142 She Was Exhausted

He never confessed his love to her from the beginning to the end.

She was too exhausted to keep looking forward to anything of her unrequited love.

Osmond could feel she was kind of disappointed. He pursed his lips, and smiled, “Then it seems that I

still have a chance.”

He did not ask more questions, and just said those to her. Rachel knew he wanted to ease the tension.

She then adjusted her mood, and smiled, “Osmond, stop pulling my leg. You are excellent and there

are many girls pursuing you. Just give them a chance.”

He said calmly, “You too.”

Rachel choked.

It seemed that they had returned to what they discussed just now.

She lowered her head to eat, glanced at Monica, and suddenly said, “By the way, as for Monica’s

illness…could you let me have a try? I can take care of her for a few days and talk to her if you won’t

mind.”

According to the current situation, she estimated that in addition to Osmond, she was the most intimate

person to her. Since Monica didn’t reject her proximity, perhaps she could bring her to an unfamiliar

environment and try to talk with her alone.

Osmond was slightly stunned. Looking at her for a while, he directed his gaze at Monica, and slightly

frowned, “Of course I don’t mind Monica staying with you, but I do worry about you. You are now under

the weather, and you still need to work and take care of your father who is lying in bed now. If I leave

Monica with you, it will add a lot of trouble to you.”

Rachel smiled and shook her head, “It’s okay. I like her very much. She is very well-behaved, and will

not run around. I hope to try every method I can think of. Besides, I think I need to get used to this kind Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

of life ahead of time. In a few months, there will be more than one baby with me...”

At the thought of having two babies with her in a few months, she felt both happy and worried.

Of course, if it really worked, she could feel a little less guilty about him in her heart. After all, he also

helped her a lot in her most difficult time.

The man gazed at her for a long while. He stopped frowning and said, “Well then. If you’re too busy,

you must let me know.”

Monica had never left him. Perhaps it also let her depend on him too much. She did not reject Rachel.

After living in a totally different environment for a while, there might also be unexpected gains.

Rachel fondled Monica’s head, “It’s okay.”

Osmond was impressed by her exquisite facial features. She beckoned to Monica, “Monica, come

here.”

The little girl raised her eyes, chewed the meat fed by Rachel, and moved to him slowly.

The man smiled at her, carried her onto his lap, and tenderly held her little body. He asked gently,

“Daddy’s been busy lately. Can you stay with Rachel for a few days?”

The little girl was surprised. Although she didn’t show mood swings judging from her expression, she

still stopped chewing. She blinked at him and didn’t respond to Osmond for a long while.

Osmond frowned. He glanced at Rachel, and then lowered his head to ask Monica in gentler tone,

“When I’m finished, I’ll pick you up and take you home. You stay with Rachel for some days, okay?”

Monica once stayed with Rachel for just one day. Leaving him for so many days, he really couldn’t tell

how she would be.

Rachel also felt a little hesitant. She looked at Osmond, and then smiled at Monica, “Go with me, okay?

I can teach you to write, tell you stories, and also watch cartoons with you.”

Monica still hadn’t made any response, while Osmond was amused by her, “It is so inviting. I am busy

all the day, so I have no time to do those things with her. I can only take her to run around with me.”

Rachel teased him, “Why don’t you choose to be the office clerk? You’re determined to be a lawyer, so

you need to run around every day.”

Osmond couldn’t help but laugh.
