Captivation: Want Nothing But You novel Chapter 486

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. 

“I’m fine; it doesn’t hurt. But when did you come in? Where is Lila?” Her eyes scanned the kitchen.

 “I came in when you asked for the basket.” Roger quickly got his act together and withdrew his hand. 

“When I asked for the basket…” Rachel thought for a moment then asked, “Have you been here for a while? Then the person who helped me just now…” 

“It was me.” Roger nodded. 

Rachel didn’t expect Roger to be here so early. She moved her lips to say something when the phone in her pocket suddenly vibrated, interrupting her thoughts. Rachel took out her phone, the screen lit up and a message popped up. It was from Carson. 

“Rachel, I’m sorry. My car has broken down on the road, so I might arrive a little late. Please take care of Victor for me.”

Rachel’s temples throbbed. Carson’s car broke down? It was her first time of hearing that a Ferrari would break down.

“What’s wrong?” Roger asked when he noticed Rachel’s countenance had turned sour.

“Nothing. It’s a message from Carson, saying his car broke down and he wouldn’t be able to take Victor away until a little later.” Rachel frowned. Her intuition told her that Carson did it on purpose, but she couldn’t prove it.

Moreover, even if Carson did it deliberately, she couldn’t really ask Victor to leave. It was still raining outside, and Victor’s injuries hadn’t fully healed. If she sent Victor away like this, something

might happen. That would certainly cause her a lot of troubles. 

Also, Joey was the reason why Victor sustained the injuries his body Rachel was slightly upset. She felt that she was being taken advantage of. Roger’s eyes darkened as he patted Rachel on the shoulder. 

“It’s fine. I’ll personally take Mrs hospital later.”

“Okay.” Rachel nodded. “I'll ask Lila to prepare some fruits and then go upstairs to wake up Joey. You can sit in the living room.”
