Captivation: Want Nothing But You

Chapter 481: I Miss You (Part Three) 

Lila, the servant, came out from the kitchen.Wiping her hands with a washcloth, she murmured, "It must be Mige Bennet."

"oh, good!" Joey was ecstatic.

"I’ll open the door.Just get on with your work."

Lila was about to go back to the kitchen when she saw Joey walking out of the living room towards the porch.

"Joey, take an umbrella with you," she reminded him.

"Okay." Joey took an umbrella from the umbrella stand before stepping out on the front porch.

"Joey, be careful," Lila called out.

"The road is slippery on rainy days."

Joey turned around and raised his hand, making an OK gesture.

Seeing Joey rushing headlong to the garden path, Lila turned around and went to the kitchen to continue cleaning.

The drizzle beat gently on the umbrella as Joey walked across the small garden.

The rain went pitter-patter and gave out water spray as he walked on the cobblestone path.

All this while, Joey was thinking about asking his mother to cook something delicious for him.

When he was about to reach the gate, he raised his head and looked out.

"Mom?"

The smile on his face was wiped out.

Joey turned around to go back to the house.A man stood on the other side of the gate.

"Joey," he called out when he saw the boy.

Joey stopped in his tracks and turned around to look at the man.

Face flushed, he wanted to leave the man alone.But he didn’t.

Instead, he walked towards the gate.

"What are you doing here?" Joey asked, his jaw raised slightly in a stubborn way.

"Didn’t you ask me who I was that day? And now, here you are, knowing who I am."

"I heard it from Ivan." Victor’s eyes darkened.

"I’m here for your mommy."
