NovelOnlineRachel’s eyes darkened as she stopped drinking her water. She was never seasick that morning. She only feigned to be
uncomfortable so that she would avoid responding to Victor’s query. Nevertheless, there was no way she would tell him the truth.
“Why do you believe so? I did feel a bit light-headed this morning. If you don’t trust me...” “I believe you.” Victor interrupted her
before she could finish her statement. Rachel was stunned.
She hadn’t anticipated that it would take such few words to get him over this. Nonetheless, he just believed her. He wouldn’t
bother to ask the question over and over again. Rachel couldn’t help but think about how he held her last night as she
considered his recent shift of attitude.
“Rachel.” Victor called out to Rachel, and she looked up at him, puzzled. Victor spoke after a long look at her. “I’ll give you one
day if you don’t think you’ve thought through the remarriage situation. Give me your response before we disembark.” Rachel was
“No,” Victor answered. What was there to ponder about then? Rachel couldn’t help but smirk inwardly. Indeed, she was too
stupid to think he would ever give her a choice. For a brief minute, she believed he would respect her this time. “Does it matter
what my response is if I don’t have a choice?”
With a peaceful expression, she took a sip of her lemonade. Victor’s eyes became darker. “Rachel, I promise you that I won’t
make you do anything you don’t want after our remarriage,” he stated after a brief pause.
Rachel subconsciously tightened her grasp on the glass. Victor’s gaze was locked on her, watching her reaction and expression.
Despite this, she maintained a calm demeanor after a long time. He became irritated as a result of this. ‘Does she genuinely feel
nothing? I’ve already conceded.’
“Rachel...”
“Fine.” Rachel cut him off. Victor’s eyes softened after being astonished for a while. The red wine was soon served and poured
for them by the waiter. “You may now depart,” instructed Victor.
The waiter responded respectfully, “Yes, Mr. Sullivan.” The dining hall was then empty save for Rachel and Victor. Rachel blinked
as she examined the red wine. She shouldn’t drink wine when pregnant, but if she didn’t... “I need to use the restroom.” She
made an excuse. Victor agreed without pausing to think. Rachel turned around and proceeded into the restroom after picking up
her phone.
She unlocked the phone screen as she walked, trying to think of a way she would use to avoid drinking the wine. However, she
received a call from Quintin as soon as she unlocked her phone. She looked back at Victor subconsciously. She was relieved to
see he was also on his phone. “What’s wrong?”
“You can’t drink that wine, boss!” Quintin expressed his apprehension. Rachel walked into the bathroom. She paused when she
heard this and immediately realized that something was wrong. Her eyes became icy. “Does the wine have something in it?”
“Yes. Aphrodisiac.” It only took a smidgeon of it to make people need s*x.
“Did Alice do it?” Rachel inquired, her pink lips pursed. “She did slip into the kitchen and put it in the wine. You can’t drink the
wine, boss! You and the baby will be in danger if you drink it!” Squeak!
Rachel turned her gaze from the wash basin to the mirror above it. The cubicle door behind her suddenly opened from the
inside, unveiling a familiar face. She also noticed the woman’s hand holding a knife “Alice!” Rachel scowled as she stared at the
reflection in the mirror.
