Captivation: Want Nothing But You

Captivation Want Nothing But You Chapter 171 by Adolf Dunne

Perhaps it was because Rachel was exhausted after dealing with Wallace and Tara the last few days that she slept in and only woke up when the sun was setting. She opened her eyes but was still in a daze. As she roamed her eyes around the room, she could barely make out something out of the darkness. A low growl came rumbling from her stomach. It was especially loud in the quiet room, and only then did Rachel snap out of her stupor.

Rachel straightened herself to sober her mind up before leaving the room and going downstairs to find something to eat in the kitchen. Her stomach was complaining too much that she could not stand to ignore it anymore. “Miss Bennet, you’re awake. I was just about to check if you’re already up.” Lukas came out of the dining hall and bumped into Rachel. He was glad she saved him from going up the stairs and waking her up himself.

“I slept in. If my stomach hadn’t complained, I probably wouldn’t have been standing here.” Rachel nudged her nose. 1 “You didn’t come down at noon, so I asked the cook to prepare some food just in case. Now you’re here, and it’s almost dinner time. How about having some snacks first?” “That’s a good idea.” “Miss Bennet, please have a seat in the dining room while you wait. I’ll ask the kitchen staff to bring some desserts.”

Then, Lukas pivoted and walked towards the kitchen, not waiting for Rachel to reply. In no time, a servant served some desserts to Rachel. Rachel could not eat more after gobbling up a few slices of cake. The desserts were delicious, but they were too sweet. It was not good for her health. And also, now that she was with child, it was hard to guarantee that she would not regurgitate everything she shoved down her stomach.

“Take these away,” Before she could even finish her words, Lukas’ voice reverberated from the hallway. “Mr. Sullivan, Miss Schultz.” ‘Miss Schultz? Is Alicia here again?’ Rachel’s brows were slightly creased together. Deep inside, she did not want another unnecessary encounter with Victor, nor did she want to talk to Alicia. She stood up and was ready to go back to her room. “Lukas, bring me the first-aid kit.” As soon as Rachel took a light step out of the dining room, Victor’s voice that was void of warmth resonated in the halls. ‘The first-aid kit? Is anyone injured?’ As if hypnotized by some random potent enchantment,

about to come in, Rachel turned around and dashed towards the stairs. “Rachel!” Noticing how Rachel turned her back on them in a hurry and was about to head for the stairs, Victor frowned and squeezed her name through gritted

It was as if she did not notice or care that the two of them were sitting next to each other, and that Alicia was holding Victor’s arm in an intimate manner. ‘Why does she not get angry when she sees me holding another
