Captivation: Want Nothing But You novel Chapter 387

 "You can go back first." Rachel loosened her grip under the coat and took a step back without saying anything.

"Mommy? Why?"

The smile on Joey's face froze.

He had thought that since Rachel didn't mind eating lunch with Victor, she wouldn't mind riding in the same car as him.He was taken aback when Rachel declined.

Somehow, he felt that Victor and Rachel's relationship had gotten worse.

"Joe, you should head back first.Mommy has something to deal with."

Joey got out of the car and trotted over to Rachel when he heard this.

"Where are you going, Mommy? I'll come with you."After saying that, Joey turned to Ivan and said, "You can go now.

I'll stay with Mommy.

We'll go home together later."

Ivan was in a dilemma as he stood by the car.

He glanced at Victor inside, only to find that he had no expression on his face, as if he hadn't heard Rachel and Joey's conversation at all.

lvan had no idea what was on his mind.

However, the more he acted like this, the more lvan began to suspect that he was suppressing something.

"Miss Bennet, you should get in the car.I can drop you off to where you're headed," Ivan said.

"There are so many reporters outside Waterfront Hotel, so getting a cab will be difficult.Also, there are paparazzi out there who would do anything to gain first-hand information from you.Taking the child with you isn't going to be safe, Miss Bennet." Ivan had a point.

Paparazzi were crazy.

It might not be such a big problem if Rachel was alone.

In the worst-case scenario, she would only have to answer a few questions and everything would be over.

But if Joey was with her...

Rachel exhaled and looked at Joey.Her lips slightly quivered, but before she could respond, the little boy held her hand tightly, without any plans of letting go.

It was as if they were connected in their minds.

"Let me go with you, Mommy." Rachel looked at him helplessly.

She couldn't bear to watch Joey with such pleading eyes.She had to prioritize his safety.

In the end, Rachel got in the car.

Ivan was right, indeed.

A huge number of reporters and media personnel were waiting outside Waterfront Hotel.

The reporters’ eyes were fixated on each passing vehicle.

Among the crowd, there were also a lot of Susan's fans.

However, no one dared to stop Victor's car because they were too scared to offend him.

Sue Garden was almost a half-hour drive from Waterfront Hotel.

During the ride, Joey made himself comfortable in the middle and was fiddling with Rachel's hair.

But he soon dozed off.

He was really exhausted and didn't sleep well last night.

Joey sat on the stairway waiting for Rachel because she hadn't returned last night.He soon realized it was late, so Lukas urged him to return to his room and sleep, which he did.

But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't fall sleep.

He was pestered with nightmares about the press conference.

In his dreams, Victor shielded him under his body and gunshots were fired.

The little boy was currently sleeping soundly as he leaned on Rachel's arm, and holding her finger in his hands.

Rachel's arm became a little sore when she realized he was sleeping.

She smiled softly and pulled her finger out of his grip, and was about to give him a cushion.
