Captivation Want Nothing But You Chapter 139 by Adolf Dunne

“What are you doing standing there? Hand me the hammer.” His cold voice pulled her back from her moment of shock.

“You…” Rachel blinked once more. She looked into Victor’s eyes and asked, “You want to build the crib?” Victor didn’t even make an effort to answer her question. Instead, he said, “Rachel, before you give birth to the baby, you have to stay healthy. After that, I don’t care if you want to be a cripple. That’s your business.”

His words caught Rachel off guard. She didn’t even know what to say to that man anymore. The slight warmth she had felt when she saw him take the initiative to build the crib vanished to nothingness. To him, she was just an object. One that was bearing his child. She shouldn’t have held any hope for the scum. Nor should she have ever considered him to be human.

He stretched out his hand, and reminded her icily, “Hammer.” With the corners of her mouth forced into a smile, Rachel suppressed every single complaint she wanted to throw at him and obediently took out the hammer from the toolbox before handing it to him. 1 Then he started working on the crib, and from time to time, Victor would ask her to hand him the tools he needed. “Spanner.” Rachel handed it to him. “Three large-size nails.”

Rachel picked three nails from the box and gave them to him. Looking at the nails, Victor frowned and said, “I said large size, not the medium ones.” Rachel was confused. She glanced at the three nails and then at him. “They are the largest ones here.” Victor stared at her saying nothing. Rachel curled her lips, not afraid of his chilling eyes. “If you don’t believe me, then come and see for yourself. You think I would lie about nails?”

As soon as she finished speaking, Victor stood up, walked over, and rummaged through the box. Rachel stood beside him. After watching him search for a while, she murmured, “See? I told you they are…” Before she could finish her words, he held three nails in his hands, clearly larger than the ones she found. Looking at her choked expression, the urge to kiss her began to stir again. He quickly looked away. “You’d better pray that my child doesn’t inherit your IQ, Rachel.”

With a blank face he strode back to the crib. ‘Huh?” Rachel was stunned for the millionth time that day. Did he just imply that she was stupid? That she had a low IQ not fit for his child? Rachel gritted her teeth. She had searched the toolbox carefully but hadn’t seen nails as large as the ones he held.

Where had they come from? 1 She or her alias ‘King of Hearts’ had been the most outstanding talent to be seen since the establishment of the Red Hackers. And now her IQ was being questioned? Rachel’s competitiveness couldn’t allow it. She lowered her head and looked once more for the large nails in the tool kit. But what she didn’t know was that they hadn’t been in the kit, to begin with. Victor had had them with him before he stood up to search the toolbox.

From the corner of his eye, he saw Rachel looking for them. He moved the bag of nails at his feet to a place where she couldn’t see it. An small smile appeared on his face. Even he didn’t realize how childish the prank was. After searching for a long time, Rachel still couldn’t find even one large nail. She frowned and started doubting herself. Could she have really missed them just now? People said that being pregnant made a woman stupid for three whole years.

Had her IQ really dropped because of the pregnancy? Soon, the crib was almost done, leaving only the last small plank to be attached. Looking at the baby crib already in shape, Rachel couldn’t help but smile proudly. The finished product was cuter and more beautiful than how it looked in the pictures. Looking at the last small plank in Victor’s hand, Rachel wanted to have a try herself. She was always interested in hand-crafted things.
