Captivation: Want Nothing But You

Chapter 470: Like A Spoiled Child 

Seeing that Victor had stayed quiet for a while now, Rachel couldn’t help but purse her lips.

In order to break the awkward silence, she finally said, "It’s my fault that I lost the ring.I will keep looking for it until I find it."

"No.You don’t need to do that," Victor quickly said in a calm tone.

Rachel was quite shocked to hear this.

Before she could even reply, Victor held her hand again.

Then, with a doting smile on his gentle face, he said, "Don’t worry about it.I’ll ask Ivan to go to the designer for him to make a new pair of rings."

‘‘What?’’ Rachel was almost a hundred percent sure that Victor would genuinely get angry once he knew that her-ring was lost.

Besides, his silence just now made her think that he was already upset.

But it turned out that she was wrong.He might have processed the news a little slower, but he wasn’t just pretending not be angry.He didn’t really mind it.

Moreover, the other thing that surprised Rachel even more was that Victor wanted to make a new pair of rings for them.

In reflex, Rachel refused and said, "That will be too much trouble.I don’t think it’s necessary."

"Of course not."

Then, Victor continued in a much more decisive tone, "We got married in such a hurry that we didn’t even hold a proper wedding.Even our rings were just bought on a whim.Missing your ring might

actually be a good thing.After all, we can finally get a proper pair for us"

Rachel was caught off guard as she met Victor’s tender and pampering eyes.

They were indeed beautiful.

In fact, even though Rachel knew that he had a dangerous side, she still couldn’t help but be drawn into his tantalizing eyes.

For a while, Rachel was in a daze, and she wasn’t able to refuse again.

of course, she was also aware that even if she did, it would still be useless.

"Mommy!"

At this time, the bedroom’s door was pushed open from the outside.

Then, the next moment, Joey and Roger came in.

Regaining her senses, Rachel retrieved her hand and smiled at Joey.

She also glanced at Roger, but she saw a flash of disappointment in his eyes.She could just assume that he overhead her conversation with Victor just now, making him misunderstand the situation.

However, Rachel didn’t feel the need to explain herself.She had always been very clear that she and Roger could only be friends.

It was Roger who didn’t want to give up on her.

At this moment, she even felt that it might be a good thing that he misunderstood what happened between her and Victor just now.

"Rachel."

Suppressing his jealousy, Roger tried to calm down and greeted her.

Then, he turned to Victor and said, "Mr.Sullivan, it’s good to see that you’re doing better."

"Yeah.Thank you," Victor could only reply with indifference.He looked at Roger and felt something strange about him.

But of course, he tried not to show it.

Meanwhile, Rachel took the wheelchair from Roger and asked Joey, "Where have you been? Why did it take you so long to be back?"

"My stomach felt bad just now, so I spent some time in the bathroom," Joey answered, grinning innocently.

"I see.How’s your stomach right now? Are you feeling better?"

Rachel frowned and asked with concern.

Seeing her mother’s worried expression, Joey quickly nodded.

Roger also assured her and said in a gentle voice, "I had a doctor check on him.He’s fine now.Don’t worry.The doctor said that his upset stomach might just be a side effect because he hasn’t fully recovered yet.Also, it might be because the porridge he had this morning was a little dry.My sister has asked our home cook to prepare a millet porridge for him.It will be sent later so Joey can have some."

After making sure that Joey’s condition was fine, Rachel was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.

"I see.Thank you."

"It’s nothing.I am always willing to lend you a hand when necessary," Roger said in a low voice, looking at her with passionate eyes.

Rachel actually felt uncomfortable with his stare, so she just averted her gaze and didn’t answer.

"Oh, Rachel.Tonight, I’ll—"

"Ahern!"

Out of nowhere, Victor grabbed his chest and coughed, interrupting what Roger was saying, Noticing that this might have been deliberate, Roger couldn’t help but frown.

Rachel also thought the same.

But this time, it worked in her favor.

Grabbing the chance, she approached Victor and asked, "Are you okay? Wait a minute.I’ll call the doctor."

But as soon as she finished speaking, her hand was held by Victor again.It was actually the fourth time today that he had taken the initiative to hold her hand.

Rachel frowned, wondering what was going on.She could clearly feel Victor’s hand holding her more tightly by the second.

It was as if he was afraid that she would shake his hand off.

"What’s wrong?"Rachel asked.

"I’m fine.I just feel a bit stuffy in my chest.It’s probably because I have just woken up."

"Just to be sure, I’ll call the doctor so that he can check on you."

Rachel was obviously trying to make an excuse so that he could take her hand back.

However, Victor was determined to hold onto her.He still felt weak, but he was unwilling to let go. Of course, his actions puzzled Rachel.

"It’s not necessary.I just need to drink a cup of water."

Then, Victor looked at the table beside the bed and said in a hoarse voice, "Rachel, can you get me some?"

Rachel nodded lightly and picked up the cup on the bedside table.

However, when her fingertips touched the cup, she felt that the water had already turned cold.So, she took the opportunity to withdraw her hand again.

"I’ll get you another glass of warm water.This one has already gone cold."

However, Victor just looked at her.

It was clear from the look in his eyes that he didn’t intend to let her go of her hand.

At this point, Rachel became a little impatient.

She couldn’t figure out what was wrong with him, and was acting like a child.

But she also remembered that he had just woken up, so she didn’t really want to irritate him.

Therefore, she breathed deeply and calmed herself down.

"Let go of me for a while.I will just get you a glass of warm water."

"It’s okay.I can drink the cold water instead."

Apparently, he didn’t really care about the water.

At the same time, he glanced at Roger from the corner of his eye.

But what he found out was that Roger was also looking back at him.

To be exact, Roger’s eyes were fixed at his hand, which tightly held Rachel’s.

"What are you saying? You’ve been in a coma for more than half a month, and you haven’t eaten anything in that time.Your stomach is still weak.Drinking cold water will do you no good."

Rachel continued in a low voice, "At least not for now."

Hearing her sensible words, Victor had no choice but to reluctantly let go of her hand.

Then, as soon as he let go of her, Rachel turned around to get that glass of warm water.

After a few moments, she went back to Victor again and handed the glass to him.

As he slowly drank the water, she put her hand behind her back so that Victor would not be able to grab her hand this time.

Sitting in the wheelchair, Joey witnessed the interaction between his parents.

Somehow, he also felt like victor wasn’t acting like his usual self.

It was as if Victor was acting like a spoiled child in front of Rachel, Joey wasn’t just imagining things.

Joey raised an eyebrow, slightly amused that his father actually had this hidden side.

As he pondered on this thought, he didn’t know how he should react.

Although it was indeed surprising, he realized that it wasn’t something bad.

In fact, he thought that he actually liked to see this side of him.

Then, Joey’s grasp on his wheelchair tightened.He remembered what Rachel told him before.

Apparently, Victor had already known his true identity.

At the same time, some memories flashed in his mind.

He remembered how Victor tried to calm him down when he broke into that room to save him.

With all his efforts, Victor was able to get the bomb off him.

Then, grabbing him tightly in his arms, they jumped down the building.

"Da… Daddy,"

In a very stiff tone, Joey moved his lips and spoke in a soft voice.

This was the very first time that he called Victor this way.
