Captivation: Want Nothing But You novel Chapter 512

Alle running for a short distance, Joey finally saw Rachel.

He then quickened his pace and threw himself into her. She embraced him and noticed that there were beads of sweat on his forehead.

"Why are you in a hurry? Is everything okay? Did something happen?"

"Nope!"

While Joey was embracing his mother, he pressed his forehead against her lower abdomen.

"I was just excited to see you.I missed you, Mommy!"

Rachel was amused to hear him say that she smiled while ruffling his hair.

Joey looked behind her, only to find that Riley and Roger weren’t there.

He looked back at Rachel and asked, "Mommy, where are Riley and her uncle?"

"Roger took Riley to see her mommy.They’ll come find us later.We’ll just wait for him outside," Rachel explained.

Joey nodded in response, held her hand, and followed her out of the hospital.

After taking only a few steps, he glanced back at the place where Carson was standing earlier.

The man was already gone.

Rachel noticed that her son was absent-minded, so she followed his gaze, only to find that there were no other people in the hallway "What’s wrong, Joey?" she asked while stopping in her tracks

"It’s nothing," Joey replied while withdrawing his gaze and looking ahead.

Rachel didn’t buy it, so she just looked at him and crossed her arms.

"Fine, I’ll tell you."

Joey was well aware that he wouldn’t be able to hide anything from his mother, no matter how hard he tried Rachel looked at him, waiting for his explanation.

This time, Joey looked into her eyes and asked, "Mommy, have you really decided to be with Mr.Jimenez?"

The question left Rachel stunned.

After gathering her composure, she asked, "What’s the matter, Joey? Do you not want me to,"

"It’s not like that."

Joey shook his head.

"I like him and he treats you well.I believe you’ll be happy together."

"Then, why did you ask me that question?" said Rachel.

"Because you don’t seem very happy, Mommy."

Joey answered with a frown.

"Did you decide to be with Mr.Jimenez because I keep saying that I want a dad and you didn’t want to disappoint me? If that’s the whole reason you plan to be with him, I don’t want you to do it just for me.Listen, Mom, what I want is for you to be happy.I admit that I’m fond of him, and I think he’s a really nice person.But if you decide to be with him just for me, I don’t want it."

A smile appeared on Rachel’s lips.It warmed her heart to hear him say that, but she felt sad as well.

Joey has grown up to be a thoughtful little guy "How do you know that this isn’t what I want?"

Rachel bent down at eye level with him.She gently placed her hand on Joey’s shoulder.

"Besides, we’re not together yet.We’re just giving it a shot.I agreed to date him, not because of you-well, not completely for you.So, don’t feel guilty about it, okay?"

"Really?" Joey asked, his eyes lighting up Rachel fell silent for a moment before nodding in response.

"Yes, really. Anyway, can we go now? Roger should be here soon."

She ruffled his hair again.

Joey nodded and decided to stop thinking about it.He then held Rachel’s hand and walked on.

"Achoo!"

Just as Carson was about to open the door, he sneezed.

Suddenly, the door opened from inside.

"M! Scotl, you’re back."
