Captivation: Want Nothing But You

In the Bennet family’s residence

When Roger walked into the kitchen, Rachel was carefully washing vegetables, oblivious of who was coming behind her.

Lila, who had taken a plate from the cupboard and was about to put something in it, saw Roger. She was about to call out to him, but he signaled for her to be quiet with his index finger on his lips. Then, he pointed to: Rachel’s back

Lila got the message. With a smile, she nodded and turned around to leave the kitchen so as to give them some privacy 

“Lila, help me get a basket,” Rachel called out. In no time, a basket was handed to her and Rachel took it while saying thank you. 

Roger lowered his gaze to Rachel’s side face, the corners of his lips curled up in a soft smile.

In this way, he had been helping Rachel out. . 

All the food was ready to be cooked. Looking at the time, Rachel thought it might be a little early to start cooking now. 

After thinking about it, she thought to wash some fruits and take them out, and then wake Joey up.

 Thinking of this, she turned around, unaware someone was behind her. She bumped into his chest.

“Ouch!” Rachel sucked in her breath and staggered backwards. Seeing this, the man quickly held her arm.

Only then did Rachel realize that it wasn’t Lila holding her, but a man. Her eyes traced the hand and looked up to see who was in front of her. She was slightly surprised, her mouth slightly agape. 

“Roger?” 

“It’s me.” Roger freed his other hand to touch Rachel’s forehead. 

“Did I scare you? I’m sorry. I didn’t think you were going to suddenly turn around. Does it hurt?” 

Seeing that Roger’s hand was reaching for her forehead, Rachel subconsciously dodged it by turning her head sideways. Roger didn’t expect that Rachel would dodge so quickly. His fingertips froze mid-air. Rachel didn’t miss the bitter smile flashing in Roger’s eyes. She pursed her lips and rubbed her forehead.
