Captivation: Want Nothing But You

Chapter 106

Chapter 106 One Hundred Thousand Dollars For An Abortion 

Rachel stared at Alicia calmly. The emotion behind her steely gaze was unfathomable. “Why are you looking at me like that?” Alicia asked in a nervous voice. “Eat. These are the specialties of this restaurant.” Rachel put on a smile, picked up her chopsticks, and reached for the edible amaranth with garlic. Meanwhile, Alicia stared at the pair of chopsticks in Rachel’s hand. She was so nervous that she tightened her grip on her own set of chopsticks.

After talking with Lori, Alicia did some research regarding food that pregnant women should avoid. She found on one of the articles online that amaranths were terrible for pregnant women, as they were more likely to have a miscarriage after consuming a certain amount, especially during the early stages of pregnancy.

If Rachel was truly pregnant, there was no way she would dare to touch this dish. But now, she picked some up with her chopsticks and put them into her bowl without so much as batting an eyelash. ‘Isn’t she supposed to be pregnant? This can’t be! What if she is pregnant and has no idea that these amaranths are harmful for pregnant ladies? If she really eats amaranths and something bad happens to her, how am I ever going to explain this to Victor?

No, that’s impossible. If Rachel knows that she’s pregnant, she probably already knew what food she could and could not eat.’ Alicia’s mind was filled with different thoughts. It somehow felt like there were two personas arguing in her mind. Rachel noticed the struggle and confusion on Alicia’s face. Rachel’s gaze turned sharp, but her hand didn’t stop. Just when Rachel was about to stuff the amaranth into her mouth, Alicia suddenly got up and knocked away the chopsticks from her hand.

Not long after, the chopsticks fell to the ground, rolling to the feet of the stranger on the next table.

Unsure of what to say, Alicia stammered, “I, um… I saw a bug on your chopsticks just now.” “A bug, huh?” Rachel cast her sight upon the chopsticks that had fallen. Alicia averted her gaze, grabbed a tissue to wipe away her sweat, and acted naturally. “Yes, that’s right.”

Rachel’s eyes turned to Alicia. Alicia caught sight of Rachel’s gaze, and her palms were sweating a lot. There was

However, Rachel stopped her. “Alicia, hold on.” Alicia paused to look at her. “What… what’s the matter?” Rachel leaned back, wearing a faint smile. Alicia’s nervous face and unnatural expression was reflected in Rachel’s clear, dark eyes. Then, Rachel glanced at the dishes on the table and calmly said, “Amaranth, barley, king
