Captivation Want Nothing But You Chapter 244 by Adolf Dunne
Victor put his pendant Beloved back into his pocket and drank up the glass of wine in his hand.
Seeing this, Carson leaned back and said, “I know the groundless news online is unreliable. If you really plan to marry Susan, in the past four years, you wouldn’t have been…” “Next Wednesday.” Victor lowered his voice, seeming a little drunk because of the red wine. Carson was stunned. After a long while, he came to his senses and turned to look at Victor, “… What?”
“The wedding of me and Susan will be held next Wednesday,” replied Victor expressionlessly “…….” For a moment, the surroundings became particularly quiet. Not knowing how long it had passed, Carson finally understood what Victor had just said. He just realized that Victor was not joking, but really prepared to hold a wedding with Susan.
“You…” Looking at Victor’s side face, Carson’s lips twitched two times. He wanted to say something, but he seemed to have lost the power of speech. He suddenly didn’t know what to say. His good friend finally figured it out and was about to build a new life out of the past. He should be happy about it. After all, this was what he had been hoping for in the past four years.
However, when he really heard from Victor that he was going to marry another woman, Carson found that he didn’t seem to be as happy as he had imagined. Because he knew very well that Vic didn’t get himself out of the ordeal. Instead, he was getting more and more depressed and became numb.
Moreover, when he heard that Victor was going to marry Susan, Rachel’s face appeared in his mind at the first time. Her eyebrows and eyes were always stubborn, which was incomprehensible. With her gender advantage, if she compromised, behaved obediently and acted like a spoiled child, she could win the hearts of many men who were even willing to help her.
But she refused to submit to them. Even if someone put a knife on her neck, she was also unwilling to admit defeat. In the past, he thought that woman, Rachel, was unruly and irrational.
But later, after the divorce between Victor and Rachel, he had more contact with that woman. Then he found that this woman seemed to be completely different from what he had known before, which made him have a better impression of her.
Later, he heard that Rachel died. All of a sudden, he, who usually played the field, found that he admired Miss. Bennet very much. Everyone who met Susan said that she looked like Rachel, and he had seen her before. But the first time he saw her, he said to Victor, “Susan doesn’t look like Rachel at all.”
They were by nature two different people. Susan was like a fragile bud growing in the greenhouse, who was so delicate that made people feel sorry for her. Rachel, on the other hand, was similar to a wild rose struggling in the ice and snow. Against the vast expanse of white snow, she never bent her roots, and her red petals were trying their best to compete for beauty.
She was not afraid of wind or rain, nor did she rely on anything So the two women didn’t look like each other at all. Carson poured himself another glass of red wine.
After a moment of silence, he raised his glass and said, “Congratulations. But I have something to deal with on a business trip next Wednesday, so I won’t go to the wedding. I’ll ask someone to send the wedding gift to you by then.”
After saying that, he raised his head and drank it up. In fact, he didn’t need to go on a business trip next Wednesday. If there was really someone in his family who needed to go on a business trip, it would only be one of his two brothers and one sister. Any of them was better than him, a playboy who only knew how to eat, drink and play.
“Alright.” Hearing that he didn’t want to go, Victor didn’t say anything more but just replied to him lightly. Carson put down the glass and let out a long sigh. He crossed his hands behind his head and said, “I didn’t expect that you would get married again, but I don’t even have a girlfriend.
“How did you become the vice president of the Scott Group?” Victor asked in a deep and serious tone. “Of course it depends on my cleverness and…” “Talent.’ Before he could finish the last word, Carson felt that Victor looked at him as if he was looking at an idiot. Carson didn’t know what to say.
