Chapter 309 Nervous âSo, whatâs the real reason?â Joey turned his head and met Carsonâs piercing eyes. His voice became a little tense, and his small hands on his thighs tightened. He was trying hard to hide his nervousness by making him appear as natural as possible. However, he was still a kid. Carson instantly noticed the panic in his eyes. He then raised his eyebrows and asked deliberately, âYou seem to be nervous. Whatâs wrong?â âNervous? No, Iâm not. Why would I be?â
Joey answered quickly but stiffly. âReally? Then, why is your forehead sweating?â Hearing this, Joey immediately used his hand to wipe his forehead. But to his surprise, his forehead was actually dry. That was when he realized that he had fallen in Carsonâs trap. Knowing that he was deceived, he glared at Carson. âHey, little guy. I thought you werenât nervous? Then, why would you believe me so easily? Why were you so anxious to wipe your sweat off your forehead?â
A playful smile appeared on Carsonâs face. Trying to regain his composure, Joey put down his hand and said firmly, âI told you Iâm not nervous. You just lied to my face! Do you really call yourself an adult? Donât you feel ashamed deceiving a child like this?â âHa-ha!â Hearing Joeyâs words, the driver in front couldnât help but chuckle. At the same time, Carson was rendered speechless. He stared at the boy, wondering who had taught him to speak like this. He was so eloquent just now, calling out an adult for the wrong that he had done. Carson wondered if it was because of his genes. But if the information the got was correct, the little guyâs biological mother was just a poor student.
She was quite pretty, but she was an introvert. Therefore, she didnât have that many friends. If so, did he inherit this attitude from Odin? Carson thought that it was more unlikely. There was a saying stating that enemies knew you better than yourself. In fact, he and Odin didnât like each other for many years, but he knew Odin well. He was even more dull than Victor. In high school, Odin couldnât win when he had to quarrel with girls. Thus, he would just resort to doing dirty things behind their backs. âFocus on driving!â
Carson felt embarrassed and scolded the driver. âSorry, Mr. Scott.â The driver immediately stopped smiling and got back to driving. At the same time, Carsonâs phone rang, so they had to stop discussing the topic for now.
Joey let out a long sigh of relief, but the pressure enveloping in his heart was still there. âIf he suddenly asked me about it, he must have sensed that something is wrong. I have to be more careful from now on!â Joey thought very hard, recalling how his relationship with Carson played out.
He wondered what kind of mistake he did for a dense man like Carson to notice that something was amiss. When he was still lost in his thoughts, Carson finished the phone call. That was when he saw the serious look in Joeyâs eyes. He had just received a call from his subordinate, who reported the current whereabouts of Joeyâs mother. If nothing went wrong, they would be able to bring her back soon enough.
Ding! At the same time, a message was sent to Carsonâs phone. It was a picture of a woman with simple clothes, carrying a dish in her hand. It seemed that she was a waitress at some local restaurant. was a This woman was said to be Joeyâs biological mother. At this time, Carson looked at the photo and then looked at Joey. From his perspective, they didnât look like each other at all. Then, Carson searched for another photo of a woman in his phone. It was Rachel. Carson raised his phone once more, looking at Joey and the photo of Rachel side by side.
To his surprise, Rachelâs eyes were really exactly the same as the little guyâs. For now, he had a theory.
However, there wasnât any evidence to support it. Just saying that their eyes looked exactly the same wouldnât be enough to prove their connection. Therefore, Carson didnât say anything for now. He had to find more clues if he wanted to prove his theory Nonetheless, the answer would be clear when they secured the boyâs biological mother. After a while, they finally arrived in the Salazar Group. The car slowly stopped at the gate of the Salazar Groupâs building, and there were quite a few people waiting outside.
Joey looked out of the car window and saw the couple standing behind a row of people. Before he could say something, Carsonâs voice resounded. âThat old couple are Mr. and Mrs. Salazar. Originally, they would become Victorâs parents-in-law soon.â After saying these words, Carson quickly got out of the car.
Then, the driver also out of the car and walked around to open the door. Under the gaze of the crowd, the driver assisted Joey to get out. At the same time, Carson walked towards the child. Joey then raised his head, looked at Carson, and asked, âI donât understand. Originally?
Did something go wrong?â He heard that his father was going to marry Susan later. And he was confused with what Carson said just now. i âItâs because of this.â Carson just waved a contract in his hand and didnât give any definite detail. One of the terms of this contract was that the engagement between Susan and Victor would be officially cancelled. But considering that Joey was just a child, Carson thought that it was unnecessary for him to explain such a complicated thing. âHas anyone ever told youâ¦â Joey looked at Carson with a frown and paused.
Carson was also a little surprised, not knowing what the kid meant. So, he raised his eyebrows and asked, âWhat?â . âNot only do you talk a lot, but you also donât know how to say things clearly.â Joey sighed. âThat is not a good indication.â âIndication of what?â
âOh, donât you know? In the early stage of Alzheimerâs disease, the patients tend to speak unclearly, just like what youâre doing. Donât worry. I know a skilled doctor. I can introduce you to him if you like Joey said flatly.
Realizing that the kid was mocking him again, the corner of Carsonâs mouth twitched. âShould I thank you then?â âNot really. But youâre welcome.â âYou littleâ¦â âCarson.â Suddenly, the old couple, James and Tammy walked up to them, wearing a huge smile. With the contract in his hand, Carson patted Joeyâs head aggressively as his evenge. Then, with a smile on his face, he also greeted, âMr. and Mrs. Salazar, long time no see.â
