Captivation: Want Nothing But You novel Chapter 508

One after the other, Rachel and Roger traversed the length of the hospital corridor until they reached its very end.

As they stood still in front of the window, Roger patiently waited for Rachel to say something.

"If everything goes well, the cast around Joey’s arm will be removed next week," Rachel said as she turned to look at Roger 

"I know that you’ve been relentlessly worried about Joey these past couple of days.I’ll keep you company on the day of his appointment to have his cast removed.We can have dinner together after that," Roger said in a gentle voice.

He had always been a kind man.

"… I’m planning to take Joey away from Apliaria," Rachel said, finally breaking her silence.

She had been thinking about it for quite a while now.

The smile on Roger’s lips disappeared into thin air.

It took a while before Roger finally calmed down.

When he tried to speak, his voice came out hoarse.

"You’re leaving Apliaria? Have you decided where you’re going? Indeed, it is quite refreshing to take trips for leisure.A lot of things happened lately.Life in Apliaria surely looks peaceful, but if you take a closer look, you will see that everyone is ready to take action."

A smile crossed his lips as Roger continued, "Joey is finally in a better state and the Bennet Group seems to have regained its stability.In the meantime, you all should go somewhere to avoid further mishaps, Just come back when the mess is all cleared up."

Rachel wondered if it was true that he did not understand what she meant by leaving Apliaria.

Perhaps, her words were misinterpreted.

However, when she looked deep into Roger’s eyes, all she saw was the burning love and passion that he had for her.

Joey’s and Lila’s words haunted her once again.

There was a time when Joey talked about how much he adored Roger.

At some point, he even thought that Roger would be a great father to him.

Lila also mentioned that Roger was a good man.

She said that he treated her and Joey well.

Even Andy had a good impression of Roger.

Everyone around Rachel all agreed that she should give Roger a chance.

She couldn’t help but wonder if she should follow their suggestion.

"I have no plans of ever coming back"

Trying to regain her composure, Rachel continued, "However, I am not going to let go of the Bennet Group.I will talk to Andy and ask him to handle the company’s affairs personally.Although I will no longer be staying in Apliaria, I would still be handling the company remotely.I also plan on handing over the welfare home project to someone I deem responsible."

For quite some time, Roger was silent.

Finally, he asked, "Is your decision final?"

Rachel nodded in response.

"Alright.If that is what you truly want, I will be here to support you unconditionally."

Roger did not ask Rachel to stay.She was surprised, but she kind of expected it.

Rachel knew exactly the kind of person Roger was.

No matter how reluctant he felt, he would never coerce her to make a decision that she did not agree with.

When Roger said that he would support her unconditionally, he meant it.He was a reasonable man.

Knowing that Rachel saw him as a friend, he always tried to be a good friend to her.
