Captivation: Want Nothing But You novel Chapter 366

Susan’s cheeks were flushed with humiliation. She eased off fast and said, “I… I’m leaving now.” Susan rushed out of the lounge as soon as she was done speaking. She passed by Carson, and on noticing her, he asked, “Miss Salazar, You weren’t planning to stay for long, were you?” “Not really.” Susan looked Carson in the eye after a little hesitation. It made her feel guilty in some way. She felt that Carson had seen through her thoughts.

After Susan left, Carson closed the door behind him and then gave Victor a very cursory look. He then proceeded to taunt him. “Ivan told me that you were planning on flying to Baltimore today.” Victor’s elbow rested on the armrest of the sofa as he leaned back slightly. With his bony hand resting on his temple, his skinny arm bent slightly. Upon hearing Carson’s sarcastic response, Carson lifted his gaze and glared at him harshly.

“Could you be up to something at the moment?” “I was quite busy, but you texted saying that I should pick up Rachel. I deserve a recompense, Mr. Sullivan.” Carson had no desire to attend a party where women competed to be the most attractive. Besides, Victor was going to announce to the public that his engagement to Susan was canceled. He would have left but he was very eager to get the recompense from Victor. Victor’s temples were pounding severely as he looked at Carson, his head up. “Don’t forget to check your email. I sent you the email you wanted so bad,” he added, with a scowl. Carson just heard what his ears probably wanted to hear the most. He said, “Good! I really appreciate that! See you some other time.”

“But…” Victor stopped him. Carson turned around to face him. “What else?” Carson asked. “Although this woman sounds a lot like the description in the email, she’s accompanied by a little child. I think it should be hers. There’s a good chance that she’s already married,” Victor explained.

Carson’s face suddenly turned cold on hearing the word “child.” He subconsciously clenched his fists in disappointment. “How certain are you that that’s her baby?” Carson asked. Getting the response he was hoping for didn’t take him long to get excited about it. He said those words in a whispered, quivering tone. “There’s an almost a hundred percent possibility.” Victor certainly knew exactly what Carson wanted to hear since he had been friends with him for so long, but he wasn’t the liar type either, so there wasn’t a way he’d lie to him. “Apparently, someone spotted her with this kid and a male in an Italian amusement park.”

Two adults and a child showed up at an amusement park. Were they family? Carson smiled. His hand in his pockets clenched into a fist. “I can’t tell what happened between you two then. But just in case she’s married, perhaps you should consider burying the hatchet.” “By that you mean forget about her?” Carson maintained his cynical demeanor as if he didn’t give a damn. “What does it matter whether she’s married and has a child? After flirting with me, she walked away without saying a thing. In other words, even if I have to scour the entire planet for her, I must find her somehow…”

Carson’s gorgeous eyes always made him seem wayward, but today he was serious. “It would only be fair its got an explanation from her.”

“Then what? You should make peace with your heart about her or else you’ll end up in agony.” Victor gave him a sincere look. He was aware that Carson needed to decide such matters for himself, just like he never gave up on Rachel.
