Captivation: Want Nothing But You

‘Susan’s birthday party? Invitation?!’ Rachel read the message once again and couldn’t help but think of that night when Susan had followed her. Her eyes darkened. She sent Andy a message and planned to go to the Bennet family’s house today.

From the time she had decided to move back to Sue Garden, she hadn’t met Andy. Over the phone, when she told him that she would be staying with Joey at Sue Garden, he had been silent for quite a while. In the end, he only told her to be careful. 

The truth was that even if he hadn’t told her that, Rachel knew that he was worried about her. But Andy knew that she had taken the decision because of Joey’s safety. So he couldn’t say anything “Mommy, is Andy that well-known lawyer you keep talking about?”

Joey asked. Rachel put her phone aside and nodded at him. She then looked at Lukas and said, “Please don’t prepare lunch for me. I’m going to the Bennet family’s house.”

“All right.” Although Lukas was confused, he didn’t interfere in Rachel’s affairs too much. But Joey was not happy when he heard that. 

“Mommy, I want to come with you.”

Before they returned to Apliaria, Quintin had always spoken about Andy, but Joey had never met the lawyer. Also, besides Rachel, even Abby knew Andy. 

Rachel didn’t think twice before answering, “No.”

She was concerned about Joey’s safety. Joey wanted to argue, but Lukas came and comforted him. He said, “Joey, Miss Bennet is just going to deal with some things and will return soon. Besides, didn’t you just say that Katie just returned today and you wanted to play with her?”

 ‘Going with Mommy is more important than playing with Katie,’ Joey thought. He knew his mother well. No matter what he would say, she would not budge.

“Oh, okay,” Joey answered as he sulked. 

Rachel pinched his cheeks and said, “I’ll take you to meet Andy some other time. He wants to meet you too.”

Rachel knew the reason behind it. There was no shortage of umbrellas at the Bennet family’s house. Since she was going home and if it really rained then she would just take one from there. But Lukas gave Rachel an umbrella because he wanted to test whether she would come back or not. If she planned on coming back, she would take the umbrella without giving it much thought. But if
