Captivation: Want Nothing But You

Chapter 406: Victor Carries Joey 

It was just a little past nine o’clock, and the snack street had started getting crowded. In front of each snack stall, there was a long line of customers who were waiting for their turns to be served. 

The snack street here was different from the one that was near the Red Hackers headquarters both in terms of style and quantity. Looking around curiously, Joey wished he could go to every stall and have a taste of what they offered.

Joey was a cute child and he had even worn suspenders that day. As he held Rachel’s hand and walked through the crowd, he naturally attracted many people’s attention. Their focus was first on little Joey, then on the two people beside him. From their clothes to their temperament, everything just screamed how different they were.

“Fifteen dollars for two roasted chicken wings fresh from the grill. Delicious chicken wings cooked with my secret sauce! Buy them while they are still hot.” A vendor shouted as he packed the food for other customers. His voice was the loudest among all the others near them. Attracted by the shouting, Joey stopped suddenly and turned around.

The oven, which was about his height, was full of coal that emitted sparks. Chicken wings were placed on the grill, and sesame oil and sauce were spread on them again and again, making a sizzling sound. They were a nice reddish -brown color that called out to his stomach.

Joey couldn’t help swallowing hard with desire shining in his eyes.

After packing the last bag of roasted chicken wings, the stall owner caught sight of Joey who was looking at roasted chicken wings. He had seen that same look in so many different eyes. He smile and called out to him, “Little boy. Say, would you like to have some?”

Joey went to nod but stopped on second thought and looked up at Rachel as if he was asking for her opinion. “Go ahead.” Joey was already walking towards the stall before she could finish her sentence. He stared at the big oven and said, “Sir, I want three skewers, please.”

“Coming right up!” The owner picked up the chicken wings from the shelf quickly and packed them. “Little boy, I also have roasted trotters and roasted drumsticks here. Would you like to buy some of those too?”

“Are they delicious?”
