Captivation: Want Nothing But You

Chapter 413: Poor 

Joey spoke softly that Victor could barely hear what he said. Yet, Victor was stunned for a moment and loob Joey 

“What did you call me?” Joey came to his senses and his heart jolted. He had called Victor his dad.

When Rachel came out of the dining room, she heard Joey’s voice. She thought that the boy was not completely awake. But she also heard what Joey called Victor. Her face fell and she didn’t even notice that her grip on the water glass tightened. She breathed deeply to calm herself before she spoke to Joey.

“Joey, you’re already awake!” Joey shifted his attention to Rachel. Blinking his eyes, he said, “Mommy.”

Rachel instinctively turned her eyes to Victor. She let out a sigh of relief when Victor didn’t have any reaction. She walked up to Joey and tousled his hair.

“Did you have a nightmare?” she asked.

Joey had seen a psychologist that afternoon. If he was having nightmares, that might be the effect of the psychotherapy. This worried Rachel.

Joey looked at Rachel, smiled at her, and then shook his head. He didn’t have a nightmare. 

Conversely, he had a good sleep. But he was awakened by Katie who had jumped on his bed and rubbed herself against him, waking him up. Now that Joey had woken up, he wanted to stay with his mother. He spread out his arms to hug Rachel. 

Rachel was relieved that Joey wasn’t awakened by a nightmare.

All this time, Victor was watching the two of them. His eyes darkened. No one knew what he was thinking about. The phone in Victor’s hand vibrated. He looked at it and saw more than a dozen message notifications from Carson. It seemed that Carson was worried about Victor.

“What’s up?” It was the first message.

Since Victor didn’t promptly reply, Carson sent another message. “Are you okay? What happened to you?”
