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,

Rachel turned around and dashed towards the stairs. “Rachel!” Noticing how Rachel turned her back on

through Rachel’s eyes as she unknowingly clenched her fists. A person should not be too curious. She shouldn’t have glanced at them. “Turn around!” Seeing that she just stiffened on her spot with her back still facing them, a touch of impatience appeared in Victor’s eyes. The woman dared to ignore his

the first -aid kit out of the storage room. When Victor glanced at the kit in his hand, no more light shone in his eyes. Enduring the surging pain, Alicia gritted her teeth and glared at Rachel. Suddenly,

Before he could finish his words, he stopped at the sight of Victor’s glaring

for this, then it would not be worth it. She held the medicine kit in her arms, thinking that she could leave after putting it down. She would never talk to Victor more than was necessary to avoid an unwanted squabble and ensure her safety. Before Alicia could recover from the shock that she was held by

Noticing her intention, Victor evaded her extended hand. “Victor…” Alicia pouted her lips and lowered her eyes, looking pitiful. Although he was not looking at her, Victor sat down beside her. Alicia’s eyes lit up and

purpose. Alicia could not help the wide grin from escaping her strained lips. She looked up at Victor’s side profile and summoned up her courage to tentatively hold his arm. Victor was not numb nor dumb. Of course, he noticed it. Still, he did not stop her. Instead, he looked up at Rachel, who was walking towards him with the medicine kit in
