Captivation: Want Nothing But You
Chapter 570

Roger was stunned by her remark.

He pursed his lips, unable to come up with a rebuttal.

Clara felt so bad to see her brother losing his dignity over love

“Roger, do you really think you stand a chance?” Clara asked in a lowered voice.

Roger’s eyes quivered.

After a moment of pondering, he said, “I really like Rachel, Clara.

Whether I stand a chance or not, I won’t give up.”

As soon as he finished speaking, his eyes welled up with tears, and tears fell from the corners of his eyes.

“Clara, what was the first thing you thought of when you were pregnant with Riley?” Roger asked, turning his face towards Clara.

“I…” Clara stared back at his slightly red, teary eyes.

Though

Roger had always been a gentle man, he was also strong.

She had only ever seen him cry twice since he was a child.

Twice; and both of them were for Rachel.

Clara was about to respond, but she had no idea what to say.

Roger murmured as though he was talking to himself, “You must’ve looked forward to seeing her born into the world, right? The last time I saw Rachel, she was smiling the entire time and she had her hands on her belly.”

“Roger.”

“Clara, I need to wait for her response.

I just want to know if she’s doing okay now,” Roger replied in a hoarse voice.

“She’s been looking forward to that child so much.

And now that it’s gone, she must be devastated.”

He then forced a smile.

“This must be feeling worse than death.”

Clara looked down and fell silent.

As a mother, she should’ve been able to relate to Rachel.

But when she saw Roger struggling in pain over her, she couldn’t feel a shred of sympathy for Rachel.

And in all honesty, she even hated her.

Upon realizing that, Clara felt terrible about herself.

She put the

SIM card on the table and left, feeling flustered.

“I’ll go see if

Riley’s okay,” she said before leaving.

Staring at the SIM card on the table, Roger picked up the glass of red wine on the table and drank it up, attempting to drown his sadness in alcohol.

‘Why did I fail to protect Rachel?’ he wondered.
