Captivation: Want Nothing But You
Chapter 1500

Hearing Lila’s words, Joey breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, she hadn’t called his mother yet.

If Rachel learned of this commotion, it would become troublesome for him.

Although he had discussed with Carson how they would explain it to Rachel on their way back, it would not be so easy for him to sneak out of the house next time.

“Lila, right?” Touching the tip of his nose, Carson coughed twice and finally spoke.

Looking at Carson, Lila felt that he looked somewhat familiar.

Carson introduced himself.

“I’m Rachel’s friend, Carson Scott.”

Lila couldn’t help but frown.

It was her first time hearing this.

Of course, she would remember if Rachel said something about him.

But when she saw that Joey didn’t seem to refute, she gradually dropped her guard and greeted him back.

“I have been busy staying in another city, and I just came back.

I haven’t seen this little guy for a long time, so I sent him a message this morning, asking him if we could have breakfast together,”

Carson explained.

On the other hand, Lila was still suspicious.

Seeing that Lila didn’t say anything, Joey chimed in, “I’m sorry that

I made you worry.”

Lila’s heart immediately softened.

Finally, she believed what Carson said.

“But why didn’t you tell me that you were going out?”

“I wanted to tell you…” Joey blinked, looking at the floor.

“But you were very busy then, so I didn’t bother disturbing you.

Also, I thought that I would be back soon.”

“Yes, it’s already late.

Why did it take you so long to come back?”

Lila asked.

After all, he had been gone for more than two hours.

Joey curled his lips and explained, “It’s all his fault.

He asked me to play a game with him for a while.

After having breakfast, we played the game on our phones in his car and lost track of time.”

Joey seemed to be afraid that Lila would not believe him.

Therefore, he turned to Carson and asked to back him up.

“Right, Uncle Carson?”

The boy even smiled sweetly.

Seeing his smile, Carson was too stunned to speak, and he just stared at Joey.
