Captivation: Want Nothing But You

Chapter 137 Choose What to Believe 

When Rachel heard what he said, she couldn’t help but snort and laugh. “Explain? Victor, I can still distinctly remember how much you harped on about not trusting me. You even told me that you were never going to believe a word that would come out of my mouth. You’ve already made your point. Why then should I waste my time explaining to you? Or…” Rachel paused for two seconds and narrowed her eyes at Victor before she spoke again.

“Or… do you think you can just toy with everyone? You probably even enjoy the feeling of trampling on their dignity like it’s nothing. Well then, if you find that more fun, then I will play your game. I’ll gladly explain everything and tell you whatever you want to hear. What do you think?” 1 She had been suppressing her anger the entire night. At this moment, however, she finally snapped. After all, this conversation only made her see how ironic it was.

Back then, this man had already made up his mind that he would no longer give credence to her words. Now, all of a sudden, he was asking her to explain. It felt like a tactic. In this way, he could turn it around and blame her instead for what he had said and done. He could make it appear that what happened was all her fault because she never explained herself to him, which caused her to injure her wrist and end up getting threatened repeatedly.

At the end of the day, she basically asked for it. After everything she said, Victor remained silent. He simply frowned after hearing her blatant sarcasm. All this time, Rachel thought that he would be pissed off so much that he would just leave. However, a deep, serious voice suddenly came out of his mouth. “I guess it won’t hurt to believe some of the things you say from now on.”

Just some?

Rachel had been through so much her entire life, yet not once did she meet anyone who deliberately chose what they wanted to believe. She smiled, but there was no emotion in her eyes. “Wow, Mr. Sullivan. That’s so gracious of you. I really appreciate that you’re willing to acknowledge my voice even just a little bit.”

make her appear uninterested. Of course, that could arouse unwanted suspicion in Lukas. Lukas noticed the slightest change in her expression, so he tried to alleviate her hesitation by reassuring and encouraging her. “Miss Bennet, I’m sure you’re worried that you cannot be around the baby later on. But when he grows up, I know that the baby will be happy to learn that you

After a short while, the servant brought in several boxes, opened them one by one, and started decorating the room with Rachel. Once

For a pretty spacious room, Lukas supposed that it would definitely take a while before they finished decorating and organizing the nursery, so they weren’t in a rush. Plus, Rachel was pregnant. She would probably feel exhausted after all the work. “It’s
