Chapter 11: Kenneth Doesn't Love You
"No, you can't borrow it!" Sabrina was absolutely confident, "The bank won't lend you money, you don't have a house to sell, and your friends are even poorer than you. Where would you get such a huge amount of two million yuan?"
"Do you think Kenneth cares about the marriage? Ha! I think you know it yourself. If he cared about you, he won't have married you for such a long time and still never once bring you to his company to introduce you to his colleagues.
Sabrina smiled evilly and continued, "It's ridiculous! I've been in the company for more than a year, but nobody even knows that Kenneth is married. Don't you think it's ridiculous?"
It was this simple sentence that crushed Rachel's heart.
It was indeed ridiculous.
It has been ridiculous since she married Kenneth. There was no wedding, only a marriage certificate and the contract he made, and she was married to him just like that.
"Rachel, stop deceiving yourself." Sabrina stepped forward two steps closer, looking down at Rachel with an arrogant attitude, "Kenneth does not love you, and his heart is far away from you."
Rachel raised her head to look at Sabrina, "How long has it been since you and Kenneth have been together?"
Sabrina didn't expect Rachel to ask this question, she was stunned, but she didn't say anything, as if she was leaving it up for Rachel, just to see what Rachel was thinking.
Rachel smiled, probably understanding it all. She pulled out the check from Sabrina's hand and tore it up in pieces.
Then she threw the handful of pieces at Sabrina and said in a soft voice, "I'd divorce Kenneth, you keep the money to yourself."
Rachel strode away, bumping into Sabrina's shoulder on her way.
No matter how well Sabrina was brought up, she felt so insulted that she yelled at Rachel from behind, "You really should have been grateful for this!"
Rachel ignored her.
After taking Theresa back to her residence, Rachel received a call from the lawyer asking if she had managed to get the money and saying that the trial will begin in a few days. Rachel said that she'd manage it in a few days, hung up the phone and sighed.
She really regretted tearing that check so arrogantly. She and Kenneth are going to get a divorce anyway, what's wrong with accepting Sabrina's money?
Theresa asked her gingerly, "Rach, is the lawyer urging you to get the money quickly?"
"It's OK. I can manage it." Rachel said with a smile to relax Theresa. "Can you help put away my clothes? I'll go out to buy groceries and come back and make dinner for you, OK?"
"Rach, don't be so hard on yourself. It's not your fault that your father has to be imprisoned for years. To me, you are my only daughter and I want you to live a good life. Please, don't do something stupid and ruin your life for this."
"Don't worry, Mom. I won't do anything stupid."
Rachel reassured her mother that she would not do anything stupid.
After going out, she took out a business card from her pocket and dialed the number on it, "Osmond, do you have time?"
Within ten minutes of being at the café they decided to meet in, Osmond arrived.
In his arms, he held his daughter, who was about four or five years old and looked very cute and doll-like.
After sitting down in front of Rachel, Osmond said with a helpless smile, "Sorry, Monica was a little upset today so I had to pick her up from the kindergarten, but I got stuck in a traffic jam." "It's OK." Rachel looked at Monica and said, "Your daughter is very lovely."
Monica seemed to be a little afraid of strangers; she was hiding herself in Osmond's arms. When he asked her to greet Rachel, she hid more into his arms and clung onto him tightly. She only occasionally looked at Rachel with her big round eyes.
Rachel looked at them, somewhat jealous.
When she had just married Kenneth, every time she saw someone holding a child, her heart burst with jealousy. Then she racked her brains to find a way to get pregnant. She tried to prick holes in the condoms, or to seduce Kenneth with alcohol, or anything that could get her pregnant.
However, Kenneth was way smarter than she thought. He exposed all her attempts and told her not to misbehave. He said he would not have children in four years.
Isn't that funny? After four years they'd get a divorce anyway according to the contract.
