Captivation Want Nothing But You Chapter 247 by Adolf Dunne âQuintin.â
Rachel called him through gritted teeth. Quintin immediately stood up and answered, âBoss, let me explainâ¦â
âKneel down!â Rachel shouted angrily. With a dull thud, Quintin immediately bent his knees and knelt on the pillow without hesitation, âBoss, I didnât mean to lie to you. That brat also kept it from me secretly. By the time I found it, he was already in Apliaria.â âYou didnât mean to do that? Quintin, if I didnât come back earlier, how long are you going to hide it from me?â
Quintin raised his eyes and carefully looked at the expression on Rachelâs face. Before he said anything, she asked again, âA week, or a month? Or, youâre just going to keep it a secret forever? Anyway, when I come back, Joe will also come back. As long as you donât tell me, I wouldnât have known that he has come to Apliaria without permission, right?â
Rachelâs tone was not heavy, neither fast nor slow, but it made people feel oppressed when they heard it.
âBoss, how could I do like this?â Quintin gave an awkward smile. âYou wouldnât do like that or you didnât dare?â Rachel asked with a fake smile. Quintin was speechless. He actually was afraid of doing it.
But now even if he dared not, he must do it. Joey was already in Apliaria. Rachelâs temple throbbed two times. It had been an hour since she knew that Joey was in Apliaria, and she always felt a little uneasy.
And she knew clearly why she was so uneasy. Because of his father Victor. In the past four years, Apliaria and Victor were two restricted areas in the hearts of Quintin and Rachel.
Especially, Rachel would always subconsciously avoid them. In the past four years, she would not hesitate to refuse any tasks related to Apliaria, let alone take the initiative in asking for any information about Victor. She knew that sooner or later, she would meet Victor. There were some things that couldnât be hidden forever.
Especially⦠Joe. But she had never thought that she would return to Apliaria in such a hurry and face Victor before she was fully prepared. âBook the earliest flight for me.â Rachel pressed her lips tightly and said in a nervous voice, âIâm going back to Apliaria and take him home.â
In the Sue Garden.
Not long after Victor left, the doctor came. He examined the scratches on Joeyâs arm and applied medicine again. âItâs not a big problem. Donât let the wound touch water in the next few days.
When the wound scabs fall off naturally, you can apply some scar eliminating ointment to it.â The doctor put the ointment into the medical kit and said to Joey, âBut the wound may itch when it heals and scabs form.
You have to endure it for a while. Donât scratch it, or it will result in the injuries again.â Joey nodded obediently. Suddenly, he heard a meow. Katie jumped onto the sofa and rubbed against him. It put its hand on his arm gently as if it knew it had scratched him and was touching his wound with guilt.
âKatie, are you apologizing to me?â Joey couldnât help laughing with amusement by its movement.
âMeow!â Katie replied and then rubbed against his palm. After sending the doctor away, Lukas went back to the living room and saw Joey holding Katie tightly in his arms. He was a little surprised.
Katie had lived in the Sue Garden for four years and had grown up here, but it seldom was so clingy.
Katie was even indifferent towards the servants who usually took care of it, let alone the people who had not seen it for a few times. But now, Katie would be so intimate with a child it had only seen once.
Noticing that Lukas was looking at him, Joey raised his head to look at him and then he looked at his watch. It was time to leave. He put Katie down and said, âSir, itâs time for me to go home.â âGo home?â
Lukas came to his senses and looked at his watch, âItâs only after eight oâclock.
You donât have to leave in such a hurry, do you? Iâll ask the driver to send you back later. Joe, why donât you hang around here longer?â âI havenât been home for a whole night. If I donât go back, my mommy will be worried.â âButâ¦â It had been a long time since he saw the bustling scene in the Sue Garden.
The child in front of him was just a stranger, but Lukas felt very familiar with him. Besides, it was rare that Katie liked to stick to someone so much, so he was somewhat reluctant to let him leave, âItâs still early, and I think Katie doesnât want to be parted from you. I tell you what, Iâll call your mommy and tell her?â
âI donât think itâs a good ideaâ¦â âItâs okay. I will explain to your mommy and let you stay here for a few more days.â Lukas thought he was worried that he didnât know how to explain it to his mother, so he said, âBesides, the doctor just said that your wound hasnât completely healed. After all, it was scratched by Katie. If I didnât see your wound heal, I would feel a little sorry for it.â âStay here for more days?!â âNo, thanks.â Joey refused without hesitation.
Lukas didnât expect that Joey would refuse so decisively. He couldnât help but wonder, âJoe, arenât you used to living in the Sue Garden? Or you donât like here? I didnât expect you toâ¦â âNo, I like the Sue Garden.â Seeing that he misunderstood him, Joey explained, âI just canât live here anymore.
Mommy will worry about me, and I will also worry about Mommy. I havenât been separated from her for so long.â Hearing this, Lukas felt relieved. What a filial child he was! Seeing that Joey insisted, Lukas didnât want to force him to stay any longer. He had to nod and said, âThen Iâll ask the driver to send you back.â ââ¦â¦ Okay.â Joey swallowed the two words âno thanksâ. He refused so decisively and hastily just now.
If he still refused now, it might arouse Lukasâs suspicion. Soon, Lukas asked a driver to send Joey back.He sat on the back seat and looked out of the window. He could see that Lukas was standing in front of the steps and looking at him gently and intimately. Behind him, the servant was holding Katie.
All of a sudden, the Maybach started and drove away slowly. In the rearview mirror, Joey saw that the figures of Lukas and Katie were getting smaller and smaller, and finally disappeared at the corner. âSir.â
He said, âPlease send me to the Time Cloud Hotel.â âOkay.â The driver answered.
Joey clicked on his watch, opened his address book and dialed the second number on it. Beep, beep, beep⦠âSorry, the number you have dialed is not answered yet. Please redial later.â An official sweet voice came through the earphone. Frowning, Joey lowered his eyes to look at the caller ID on the watch screen â Uncle Quintin.
He called him again. But soon the same voice came again. It was the fifth call he had made to Uncle Quintin since this morning, but no one answered it. Uncle Quintin had a fixed biological clock and got up at about half past seven every morning. He shouldnât be unable to answer the phone.
Her left eyelid twitched all of a sudden. As the saying goes, when oneâs left eye twitched, it meant disaster, and the right eye twitching meant fortune. He raised his hand and rubbed his left eyelid. He always felt that something bad would happen.
But what could happen? Did mommy know that he came to Apliaria? No, it was impossible. Mommy would be back to the alliance in at least half a month. By that time, he would have already gone back.
Besides, even if Mommy came back ahead of time, Uncle Quintin would definitely tell him the truth in any case. Joey guessed like that, but he still felt uneasy
