Captivation Want Nothing But You Chapter 242 by Adolf Dunne Before he was seven years oldâ¦
The light in Lukasâs eyes dimmed. He continued to roll up the sleeves for Joey in silence, stood up and steered the conversation away from it, âWell, itâs getting late now. Joey, go to bed early. Pay attention to the wound on your hand and donât touch water. If you need anything, call me at any time.âGet new chapter update on novelheart.com Joey sensed that Lukas didnât want to continue. A trace of doubt flashed across his eyes, but he was sensible enough not to ask him for any more questions. He looked down at his cufflinks, which had been neatly clipped, and nodded.
Lukas smiled at him and was about to leave the room.
âWait a minute, Mr. Smith.â Seeing that he was about to walk out of the room, Joey suddenly called out to stop him.
âWhatâs wrong?â
Joey pursed his lips and recalled what he had seen outside the babyâs room. After hesitating for a while, he asked tentatively.
âMr. Smith, when I went to the bathroom just now, I saw the light in the room next door but one was on.
Someone was inside.â
Next door but one?Get new chapter update on novelheart.com Lukas didnât react at once and it took him a while to realize what kind of room it was.
After a short pause, he heard Joey asked again, âMr. Smith, whatâs that room? And that room seemed to be a little different from other places. At that time, the door of that room was not completely closed. And I seemed to see a baby bed.â
âDid you see clearly who was in the room?â Lukas didnât answer his question.
Joey blinked his eyes. It was obvious that Lukas cared about whether he had seen Victor or not. Joey thought for a while, shook his head, frowned and said with a hint of distress on his face.
âThat man was standing on the balcony. He was too far away from me that I couldnât see him clearly.â
Lukas looked down at him deeply, as if he was thinking about the authenticity of his words.
After a pause, Joey added, âMr. Smith, so do you know who was inside the room?â
When Lukas looked into his eyes as black as grapes, he narrowed his eyes. It seemed that he was thinking too much. He was just a child of three or four years old. What could he do even if he wanted to inquire? âYes, itâs Mr. Sullivan.â Lukas said, âThat room is the baby room prepared by Mr. Sullivan for his child.â
With his eyes wide open, Joey asked in confusion, âHave Mr. Sullivan had a child? But I didnât seem to see any child there.â
Lukasâs eyes darkened in an instant. Get new chapter update on novelheart.com He looked down at Joey and couldnât help reaching out his hand and gently stroking his head two times.
There was a bit of pity in his tone, âHe used to have a child.â
He used to have one.
When he heard these words, Joey clenched his fists unobtrusively beside his body but asked in an innocent tone, âWhy do you say he used to have one? Where is the child? And I donât seem to see Mr.
Sullivanâs wife. Is the baby with his Mommy?â
ââ¦Yes,â Lukas was obviously stunned for a while, âThey should be together now.â
âSo Mr. Sullivan stays in the baby room because he miss his baby and wife?â @ Hearing Joeyâs question, Lukas opened his mouth but didnât know how to answer it. At last, he could only laugh and said, âI suppose so.â
âThatâs so strange.â He muttered.
âWhy do you say like this?â
Turning his head a little, Joey said, âIf he misses his baby and wife, he can go find them and bring them back, canât he? Isnât it strange that he doesnât pick them up but just stay in the babyâs room?â
âHe canât find them.â
Joey raised his head and looked into Lukasâs eyes. When he heard this, he clearly noticed a touch of pain in Lukasâs eyes.
The comer of Lukasâs mouth twitched. Apparently, he didnât want to continue the topic, âJoey, someone canât be found once he leaves. You are still young, and you will understand when you grow up. Go to bed early.â Then Lukas walked out.
âAre they all gone?â As soon as Lukas walked out of the door, the voice of Joey suddenly rang out.
Lukas stopped abruptly.
He was obviously stunned. He turned around and looked at Joey in surprise.
âMommy told me that she has a good bosom friend who is not her biological sister but is more like her own sister.â âBut Mommy lost her by accident.
She said she couldnât find her bosom friend because she was dead and she could never see her again.â
âMr. Smith, you said he couldnât find it. Are Mr. Sullivanâs baby and wife dead just like my mommyâs bosom friend?â Four years had passed.
In the past four years, everyone had been trying their best to avoid this question, because every time they answered this question, it was equivalent to reopening the bloody wound in the past.
Looking at Joey, Lukas seemed to see Miss Bennet for a moment. He was a little distracted and said, âIf Miss Bennet didnât still die and the child was still alive, he should have been about your age.â
Although Joey had already been prepared for the fact that the owner of the baby room and the crib was probably himself, he was still stunned when he really heard the exact answer from Lukas, The picture of Victor smoking alone on the balcony came to his mind.
Was his scummy dad missing his mommy and him at that time? #
Somehow, Joey had mixed feelings about it which he couldnât tell.
He suddenly seemed to realize that he had always been wrong about his scummy father. In fact, he loved his mother and himself very much, not abandoning his family at all.
But soon, Joey denied this idea.
It couldnât be wrong!
If his scummy daddy loved his mommy and him so much, why did he leave his mommy alone? And his scummy father was going to marry someone else.
âMr. Smithâ¦â said Joey, pursing his lips. He was sure that his scummy dad abandoned his family in his mind, but he hesitated and wanted to know more, âI think the crib in the baby room is the most special. Is there any special story of it?â
âIt was the crib prepared by Mr. Sullivan and his wife for that child.â
They prepared it themselves. The four words hit Joeyâs eardrum hard and shocked his heart heavily.
âIn the past four years, as long as Mr. Sullivan missed his wife and his baby, he would stay in the baby room.â Lukas continued in a deep and slow voice, âHe never allows anyone to move the things in the babyâs room. Even the cleaning of the room is done by himself. Since Mrs. Sullivan passed away, Mr. Sullivan has been busy with his work and seldom comes back. It has been a long time since anyone else came to the Sue Garden. Joey, you are the first one to come here in the past four years.â âThe first one?â
Did it mean that even the fiancee of his scummy father had also never been here? Joey was rather in doubt about it. Then he heard Lukas said again, âMr. Sullivan doesnât like strangers to stay here overnight, but he actually would allow you to stay. In fact, I can tell that Mr. Sullivan thought of his wife and his child when he saw you.â
âReally?â
Lukasnoddedandsaidseriously, âMr. Sullivanâ¦.â
âHe has been looking forward to the birth of that child.â Get new chapter update on novelheart.com
