Captivation: Want Nothing But You
Chapter 1385

“Hmm? Oh, yes, I’m okay.” Rachel instinctively turned away from his worried stare and forced a smile.

Roger could see that Rachel was done talking, so he refrained from asking more.

“We’ve nearly finished our shopping.

Let’s go and settle the bill.

Just now, my sister phoned to inquire as to our arrival time.”

It was then that Rachel saw the shopping cart was rather full.

She nodded, “Okay.”

Since Roger’s parents anticipated that he would be bringing Rachel back to their place, they got to work on dinner.

Roger had intended to bring Rachel home for dinner a few days later, but surprisingly, his parents were quite excited and eager, mistaking it for today.

From Clara, Roger found out that his parents were preoccupied with the dinner preparations.

He had to call Rachel and ask if she wanted to spend the night at his house since he couldn’t stand to see them sad.

Without any doubt, Rachel accepted.

This was the reason why they went to the supermarket and purchased a wide variety of presents.

It wasn’t long until they settled the tab.

Roger requested that the gift boxes be taken to the basement parking garage.

They then rode the elevator down.

Never wanting anybody to know what was going through her mind, Rachel kept her gaze lowered at all times.

Rachel was buried in thoughts for some time when the elevator stopped and the doors opened.

A warm hand clasped hers before she could respond.

Her hands became rigid from shock.

Taking her hand, Roger left the elevator.

While she was about to shake his hand off, he released it and said, “Rachel, we can postpone this if you are not prepared.”

Roger took it wrong.

He reasoned that Rachel’s lack of focus was because she was not ready to meet his parents.

“I’m prepared.” Rachel pursed her lips.

She had no qualms about meeting the Jimenez family, but she couldn’t stop thinking about what

Ivan had said earlier.

Not only did she not anticipate the police taking Victor, but she also did not anticipate the news to be withheld.

Roger regarded her intently and said, “Rachel, I do not want you to push yourself to do this.”

“Well… Okay.”

Her phone beeped as soon as she finished talking, and a reminder came up.

“Mr.

Finch has issued a fresh assignment.”

A message from Quintin popped up on the screen.

“Wallace posted a task! Have you seen it?”

Although it was just a text, Rachel could sense Quintin’s excitement.
