Captivation: Want Nothing But You
Chapter 356

Rachel looked up into the shop manager’s enthusiastic eyes and just couldn’t say no.

The manager seemed only too delighted to help her.

With never-ending optimism and energy, she introduced the different products to Rachel.

“This baby stroller in particular is one of our best sellers.

Both the sales and the feedback on it have been phenomenal.

You can detach the front armrest of this stroller.

And just in case your little one Likes to chew on things, the armrest is made from the latest anti-biting smooth foam material.”

Rachel nodded along as she listened.

She could feel Victor’s eyes on her as he watched from the back.

He wasn’t interested in what the shop manager was saying, he was busy studying her coat.

Usually, he found black and green designs lame, but on her it was somehow spectacular.

The color and cut perfectly matched her elegant demeanor in a way that seemed to create her own unique style.

The shop manager kept showing Rachel product after product.

While it looked like she was listening and paying careful attention, Victor knew she wasn’t.

But then again, he hadn’t been paying attention from the beginning.

Now, he kept thinking back to what Carson had said to him a few days ago.

“I think there is a part of you that doesn’t really believe that Rachel pushed Alicia into the lake that day,” he had said.

“I think you just have a deep-seated prejudice against her.

That’s why you chose to ignore the truth that was right in front of you.”

Victor’s eyes narrowed as he stared at Rachel.

Ever since the divorce and leading to Rachel’s pregnancy, Victor had felt like his life was spiraling out of control.

He didn’t even seem to have a grasp on his own self-control; something he had always been so proud of.

He had no idea why he felt this way, or why he couldn’t pull himself together, but he had a feeling it wasn’t a good thing.

He wanted to take his life back.

He wanted to regain control over what was his.

But the more he tried to suppress his growing feelings, the worse it became, the harder it became to control.

When he and Elian had eaten together earlier that day, he had thought of nothing else but Rachel lying in the ultrasound room.

He couldn’t stop hearing her asking the doctor about the baby’s health, and how the baby’s heartbeat sounded.

It had nearly been enough to make him want to put his own prejudices aside.

“Mr.

Sullivan, what do you think?” The manager’s question broke him out of his thoughts.

Victor looked down at Rachel, only to find she was looking up at him expectantly, waiting for him to answer.

She looked different today.

The expression on her face was different.

It wasn’t that harsh, hostile look he had come to expect from her.

She looked quiet, and obedient now.

By the way she kept glancing towards the toy area, Victor could tell she was much more interested in the dolls than she was in the stroller.

As he swallowed, his Adam’s apple bobbed almost nervously in his throat.

“We’ll take it,” he said coolly.

“Wonderful!” the shop manager said with an excited clap of her hands.

She turned to one of her assistants and asked them to package it.

Rachel was quite surprised by his statement.

She looked up at him questioningly, trying to catch his gaze, but he ignored her.
