Captivation: Want Nothing But You

Chapter 74: Thanks To You, Little Baby 

When Lukas left, Shelia walked into the room.She stood by the bed, taking in her surroundings.The room was well-lit and cozy.The queen-sized bed was dressed in bright yellow sheets and the floor was covered with a fluffy light grey carpet.All sharp edges in sight had been baby-proofed.

"Well, little one, all this thanks to you," she said softly, putting a hand on her belly.

This was much different than the storage room she had called "her room" in the past month and a half.

She walked out to the balcony and was surprised to discover that she could see the garden from up there.

The wind blew across the small pond in the middle of the garden, creating countless ripples on its surface.

Occasionally, a koi fish would jump up and then dive back into the water.

While Victor's grandmother was still alive, she would take Rachel to that same pond, where they had tea and chatted.

That had been the time of Rachel's life.

Even Victor's indifference wouldn't ruin her mood after a day like that.

But after the old lady passed away, Victor hardly ever came back home.

If Rachel wanted to see him, she had to go to the Sullivan Group.

Victor's grandma had always looked after her, taking her under her wing and when she died, Rachel was left without protection.

The servants had started being disrespectful towards her and no one cared enough to stop them.

After all, who would stand up for her, a woman scorned by her own husband? Lukas had been the only exception.

He had always treated Rachel with respect, but he was usually busy and besides, he was getting on in years, so he couldn't watch her back all the time.

Knock, knock The sound dragged Shelia out of her reverie.

She walked back into the room and opened the door.

It was Lukas, holding a glass in his hand.

"Miss Bennet, I brought you some milk with cinnamon and honey."

The smell of the hot milk hit Rachel's nostrils, bringing about a wave of nausea.
