Captivation: Want Nothing But You novel Chapter 462

"In order to survival," Shelia said casually.

But Victor felt sad upon hearing that.

"Is the meat ready to be flipped? It’s on the verge of being burned." Shelia pointed out.

Upon recall by Shelia, Victor saw a small burn on the meat’s exposed side when he looked at it closely.

He flipped the meat over while he was still thinking about what she just said.He had second thoughts about whether or not to ask her about it.

It was, after all, Shelia’s own business.

Shelia, on the other hand, didn’t seem to take it seriously.She asked, "Will you please teach me?"

"Hmm," Victor said after a while.

"Is that a yes?"

Suddenly, Shelia’s eyes glowed, and she broke into a grin.

Her two dimples, meanwhile, became much more stunning.

Victor nodded, "Okay."

Shelia grinned broadly as she said, "Thanks so much, Van.You are the kindest individual I’ve ever encountered, except for my caretaker in the orphanage."

"Orphanage?"

"Yap! That’s where I was raised.However, two years ago, the orphanage was taken over and the old woman was unwell and died." Shelia’s eyes clouded as she spoke about this.

"The elderly woman was a wonderful friend.When I was younger, she prepared great meals and gave me a lot of fresh fruits."

‘‘She is an orphan…’’ Victor pursed his lips.

"A guardian was needed to look after you since the orphanage was taken over.Why didn’t you leave with the other kids?"

Shelia looked up at Victor and answered, "I didn’t want to leave."

That was the only home Shelia had known for so long.

"Are they okay with you being outdoors on your own?"

Shaking her head, Shelia said, "No.But I was desperate to visit her tomb, so I fled.My whereabouts remain unknown to them, and I don’t intend to return."

In spite of the dingy ground, Shelia lay down immediately.She was bathed in shards of sunshine that had been scattered by the trees and fallen to the ground.She placed her hands behind her head, her lips quivering.She sighed with disappointment as she gazed up at the sky.

"I want to visit her."

"So, what keeps you from doing so?"

"There are people guarding the area.They’ll find me if I go there.She had no idea that I have a name now.I’ll tell her my name when I meet her again in the future," Shelia said, blinking her eyes.

Victor’s black eyes remained fixed on Shelia and he said nothing.

Shelia continued, "If she had the chance to see you, Van, it would be more than likely that she would like you.She had a soft spot in her heart for adorable kids.She said that I was a lovely girl."

Adorable? It didn’t seem appropriate to use this term to describe a boy.

Looking at Shelia, Victor concluded that the adjective "lovely" was an apt description of her features, particularly her eyes.

Without thinking twice, Victor asked her, "Since she was responsible for your upbringing, how come you got your name so late?"

"She was unable to communicate since she was deaf, mute, and illiterate.She never referred to us by name.Only a poker card was in my possession."

Shelia gently removed it from her pocket as if it were a treasure and presented it to Victor as she spoke.

"In the orphanage, each kid was given a unique card.When the elderly woman split the fruits, she put them on the cards and let us take them as we pleased, but we were naughty,’ shella erupted into laughter, which was maybe due to the reference to the pleasant thing.Victor stared at the card–the King of Hearts.

"Hey! Did I get the best card?"Shelia inquired.

"It’s definitely the best."

Shelia retracted the card and said, "I am the only one with the King of Hearts."

The meat was toasting as they were conversing.

Victor gave her the meat after he re-applied the juice.

"It’s all set to go.Eat, please."
