Captivation: Want Nothing But You

Chapter 138 Is He Assembling The Crib 

Downstairs in the living room, Lukas had found the toolbox and was on his way to take it upstairs to Rachel when he saw Victor walking in. “Mr. Sullivan?” He was a little shocked. He had thought that Victor had gone to the company a while ago. Why was he back so soon? “I left a document in the study. I came back to get it,” Victor said when he saw the look on Lukas’s face. His eyes were on the toolbox in the other man’s hand. Fetching a document?

It had to be extremely important then, or else Victor wouldn’t need to come back in person to get it. Lukas was confused. “Do you need me to go upstairs and get it for you, Mr. Sullivan?” “No, it’s okay. I will get it myself,” Victor answered casually before he asked, “What are those tools for?” “Miss Bennet asked for them.” After thinking for a while, Lukas added, “After you left today, a delivery man from the baby products store brought the things you and Miss Bennet bought yesterday.

Miss Bennet is decorating the baby’s room as we speak.” Victor kept the surprise he felt at the words to himself. His eyes seemed to darken instead, but he said nothing. “Mr. Sullivan, if that is all, I’ll go bring this toolbox to Miss Bennet then,” Lukas said respectfully. “Give it to me.” Victor held out his hand suddenly. Lukas paused for a moment, not sure what was happening. Before he could react, he heard Victor say, “I will pass by the room anyway.”

Meanwhile, in the baby’s room, Rachel was waiting for Lukas to bring the toolbox. She didn’t know what was happening downstairs. After placing all the parts in order, she sat on the floor and carefully read the steps of assembling the crib in the manual that came with it. Suddenly, footsteps came from behind her. With all her attention directed to the manual, Rachel didn’t notice that the footsteps weren’t Lukas’s. She picked up the planks she had put in the wrong positions and placed them right.

“That should be it.” She took another look at the manual. Without turning her head, Rachel reached out to the person behind her and said, “Lukas, give me the hammer.”. Victor’s hand clenched around the toolbox handle as his dark eyes reflected her figure. She wore a low ponytail. A few strands of hair had escaped and were blocking her eyes. There was sweat on her forehead. Probably because of more than an hour’s work of

kissing her the previous night flashed in his mind. It made him feel a bit hot and bothered. This kind of feeling stirred up an urge in him. He wanted to kiss her. Just like the day before, he wanted to pull her into his arms and kiss her to oblivion. “Lukas?” Rachel had waited for a while but

control in front of her again, and this time he had almost given in to what his impulse was driving him to. Victor’s eyes quickly moved from her lips to her slender wrist, as panic set in. On her wrist was a thin layer of gauze,

it, “Did we buy this yesterday?” Rachel was speechless. Was that supposed to be a question? “Yeah.” Rachel lowered her eyes to hide her eye roll before she explained, “I planned to assemble the crib first and then do the decorations. Besides, it’s not that difficult and I don’t have anything else to do anyway. It’s just to kill

was thinking, nor did she know whether he believed her or not. So she asked tentatively. Anyway, she had explained it as he told her to. Whether he believed it or not, it was not her business. She had gotten used to him not believing in her anyway. If he believed her, then she could make the crib and be done with
