Captivation: Want Nothing But You
Chapter 1555

“No.” After staying up all night, Rachel was exhausted.

“Have you finished all of your work?”

“Yes.” Eva nodded.

Rachel remembered seeing Eva for the first time four years ago as she stared at her.

Eva was kind and innocent back then, despite having a long face and rarely speaking to her.

Rachel paused before asking, “Eva, you just said that sometimes we have no choice and we can’t think too much.

Was that why you decided to get married?”

“Well, it was a shotgun marriage.

I was already pregnant during my wedding.”

“Did you marry for the child’s sake?”

Eva shook her head in disagreement.

“Of course not.”

Her response didn’t surprise Rachel in the least.

Instead, if Eva got married because of the child, Rachel would be shocked.

Eva had always been brave and independent.

She was not the type of woman who would allow a baby to entrap her.

“Even if I wasn’t pregnant, I knew I’d marry him,” Eva admitted.

“ihy?” Rachel questioned, observing the firmness in Eva’s eyes.

“Because I know he loves me and I love him too.

In fact, at first,

I didn’t like him,” Eva answered.

“Our families would always say that they didn’t anticipate becoming related through our marriage.”

Eva sighed.

“My husband and I grew up together in the same village.

We didn’t get along when we were children.

Our families were in the same group when the villagers were split up at that time.

The unequal distribution of land was something we hated.

The number of fields we were going to divide was odd.

Whichever way, one of us would end up with more of it.

The more land we had at the time, the more food we could have.”

Eva smiled and went on, “Our two families split up for the sake of the land.

The elders of our families even sat in the fields and reprimanded one another.

We anticipated a heated argument over the distribution of the land.

In the worst-case scenario, no one could take this land away because no family would compromise.”

Eva’s smile gradually vanished from her face.

“My grandma heard my husband’s family would be working the land the following day.

It was cold, and despite her anxiety, she stayed in the field without saying a word.

My husband’s parents arrived at that time.

They argued with my grandma and then left because they couldn’t stand the cold weather.

My grandma still didn’t want to go home.

Her emotional state after the argument contributed to her developing hypertension quickly, which led to her having a stroke.

She was admitted to the hospital, and on the third day in the hospital, she passed away from intracranial hypertension.”

Eva’s eyes were filled with sadness.

She eventually calmed herself.

After observing that Rachel remained silent, she said, “I wonder if I’m talking too much.

It’s all in the past.”

“No.

I’m listening,” replied Rachel.
