Captivation: Want Nothing But You novel Chapter 309

Chapter 309 Nervous

“So, what’s the real reason?” Joey turned his head and met Carson’s piercing eyes. His voice became a little tense, and his small hands on his thighs tightened. He was trying hard to hide his nervousness by making him appear as natural as possible. However, he was still a kid. Carson instantly noticed the panic in his eyes. He then raised his eyebrows and asked deliberately, “You seem to be nervous. What’s wrong?” “Nervous? No, I’m not. Why would I be?”

Joey answered quickly but stiffly. “Really? Then, why is your forehead sweating?” Hearing this, Joey immediately used his hand to wipe his forehead. But to his surprise, his forehead was actually dry. That was when he realized that he had fallen in Carson’s trap. Knowing that he was deceived, he glared at Carson. “Hey, little guy. I thought you weren’t nervous? Then, why would you believe me so easily? Why were you so anxious to wipe your sweat off your forehead?”

A playful smile appeared on Carson’s face. Trying to regain his composure, Joey put down his hand and said firmly, “I told you I’m not nervous. You just lied to my face! Do you really call yourself an adult? Don’t you feel ashamed deceiving a child like this?” “Ha-ha!” Hearing Joey’s words, the driver in front couldn’t help but chuckle. At the same time, Carson was rendered speechless. He stared at the boy, wondering who had taught him to speak like this. He was so eloquent just now, calling out an adult for the wrong that he had done. Carson wondered if it was because of his genes. But if the information the got was correct, the little guy’s biological mother was just a poor student.

She was quite pretty, but she was an introvert. Therefore, she didn’t have that many friends. If so, did he inherit this attitude from Odin? Carson thought that it was more unlikely. There was a saying stating that enemies knew you better than yourself. In fact, he and Odin didn’t like each other for many years, but he knew Odin well. He was even more dull than Victor. In high school, Odin couldn’t win when he had to quarrel with girls. Thus, he would just resort to doing dirty things behind their backs. “Focus on driving!” Carson felt embarrassed and scolded the driver. “Sorry, Mr. Scott.” The driver immediately stopped smiling and got back to driving. At the same time, Carson’s phone rang, so they had to stop discussing the topic for now.

Joey let out a long sigh of relief, but the pressure enveloping in his heart was still there. ‘If he suddenly asked me about it, he must have sensed that something is wrong. I have to be more careful from now on!’ Joey thought very hard, recalling how his relationship with Carson played out.

He wondered what kind of mistake he did for a dense man like Carson to notice that something was amiss. When he was still lost in his thoughts, Carson finished the phone call. That was when he saw the serious look in Joey’s eyes. He had just received a call from his subordinate, who reported the current whereabouts of Joey’s mother. If nothing went wrong, they would be able to bring her back soon enough.
