Captivation: Want Nothing But You

Chapter 658

Quintin, he would not dare take Joey anywhere.

So no, Joey did not get hurt often.

Of course, he wouldn’t say that when Victor was in front of him.

“Not often,” Joey answered, shrugging his shoulders.

“Kids get hurt every now and then.

It’s but natural.”

Victor gave Joey a piercing look but he didn’t say anything.

“So where are your parents? They just let you deal with the wounds yourself? Didn’t they know you get hurt?” Lukas asked.

“How irresponsible they can be!”

His parents?

Joey intuitively looked at Victor.

Remembering what Quintin had told him, he lowered his eyes and said softly, “It’s not their fault.”

There was sadness on his face.

But when he looked up at Lukas, the sad expression on his face was already gone.

Jutting his chin, he said with resolve, “My mommy is the best mommy in the world! But she is always busy with her work.

I didn’t want her to worry so I didn’t tell her.”

Lukas’ expression softened and he nodded.

At such a young age, Joey was already considerate of his mother’s work.

At the stime, Lukas felt sorry for him so he asked, “What about your daddy?”

“I don’t have a daddy,” Joey quickly answered but he didn’t sound so convincing.

For a brief moment, Lukas thought the boy’s eyes lit up when he looked at Victor.

For sreason, Victor couldn’t understand why he felt a squeezing pain in his heart when he heard what Joey said.

It was a fleeting feeling, though.

“I’m sorry…” Lukas said.

“It’s okay.” Joey turned his head from Victor to look at Lukas.

“I don’t feel bad about not having a daddy.

Not at all, because he is a pig.

I have never seen him.

I only know about him because of what my uncle told me.

He said my daddy was horrible to Mommy.

He left her.”

Lukas didn’t know how to feel about it.

He admired Joey for being pragmatic as young as he was.

On the other hand, he felt sad that the boy had to act and think like an adult at his age.

He looked closely at Joey’s face.

When he first saw him in the backyard, he felt that Joey looked like Victor.

Now that he was seeing the determination in Joey’s eyes, Lukas could see the striking resemblance between the boy and Victor.

He could even say that Victor looked like Joey when he was a child.

If the two were together, just like now, they could be mistaken as father and son.
