Captivation: Want Nothing But You novel Chapter 481

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."

‘So, he didn’t come for me"

Joey didn’t know what he was looking forward to.He felt a sense of loss when he heard what Victor had said.His knuckle turned white as he held the umbrella tightly.

"My mommy is not at home, so you may leave now."

"Did she go out?"

"Yes, and she won’t be back anytime soon," Joey said harshly.

"She went out with my future daddy."

Joey then turned around and hurriedly walked back to the house, leaving no chance for Victor to ask more questions.

‘Bad dad! You don’t want to admit that I am your son, and yet, here you are looking for my mother! Ha! I won’t let my mommy be with you! I shouldn’t have tried to bring you two together"

Joey was seething in anger.He stumped on the ground.

The rainwater splashed and wetted the hems of his trousers Lila heard Joey walk across the porch to the living room.She thought that his mother was not far behind.She came out of the kitchen to greet Rachel but found Joey alone.

The boy wore a long face and his eyes were red.

Joey was fine when he went out a while ago.Why did he come back like this?

 "Joey, what’s wrong with you? Where is Miss Bennet? Didn’t she come with you?"

Lila asked Joey, her eyebrows furrowed with concern for the boy.

Joey shook his head and said, "My mommy hasn’t come back yet."

"Then…"

"Lila, can I go upstairs now? I just want to sleep," Joey said in a low voice, blinking away his tears.

Lila nodded, understanding how Joey felt.

"I’ll call you when Miss Bennet comes back."

Joey nodded, walked past Lila, and went upstairs to his bedroom.

Lila watched him go and then turned her head to look at the small garden outside the porch.She saw what looked like a man standing outside.

‘That is not Miss Bennet" she thought.

She wondered who the man was.

Joey’s mood changed just when he met the man outside.

Lila thought that it would be wise to go out to have a look.

But she heard Joey call out from behind her, "Lila, can I have a glass of milk?"
