Captivation: Want Nothing But You -
Chapter 1372
“Yes, Quintin is Joey’s uncle,” Rachel explained.
“But if I remember correctly…” Roger paused.
He wanted to say that he remembered that Rachel didn’t have a brother.
How then could Joey have an uncle? But then he stopped himself before he could say anything.
Rachel had disappeared for four years, and he didn‘t know how her life had been during that period.
Although she didn’t spell it out, he was sure that she met this Quintin during that period.
And judging from the way she spoke about him, Rachel definitely considered him as family.
“Why didn’t he come to Apliaria with you?” he asked instead.
“Uncle Quintin had to stay at home,” Joey answered.
Roger’s expression after that brief explanation was the perfect picture of confusion.
Rachel chuckled and explained better.
“He had some work to do and couldn’t leave it to come with us.
If you’re fine with it, I can introduce the both of you when the opportunity presents itself.”
Roger’s face beamed with joy.
That meant that Rachel was willing to introduce her family to him.
Of course, it pleased him.
As a matter of fact, he was more than okay with it, but he played it cool and said, “Yeah, sure.”
Although he tried not to let his joy show too much, Rachel noticed the joy in his tone.
She turned around and met his eyes.
The intensity of his gaze caught her off guard, so much that she didn’t even realize it when he held her hand gently in his.
It was his next words that snapped her out of her daze.
“Rachel, I want to know your friends and family.”
Her mouth opened slightly, but no word came out.
“Rachel… Since we won’t be leaving Apliaria right now, can you spare some time to have dinner with my family? I also want to introduce my family to you.”
Rachel was stunned; she didn’t expect Roger to say such a thing to her.
Joey stuck his head out of her arms and cast quick glances at both of them, one after the other.
“If you are not ready…” Roger’s face darkened because Rachel didn’t reply.
Before he could finish what he was saying though, Rachel asked him,
“What do your parents Like?”
“Did you agree, Rachel?” Her question came as a pleasant surprise to
Roger.
Joey pulled himself out of Rachel’s arms and heaved a sigh.
“Mr.
Jimenez, are you seriously asking that right now? Of course she has agreed.
What other confirmation do you need?”
In no time, a wide smile stretched Roger’s lips.
At the sight of that, Rachel grinned.
But she soon lowered her gaze.
