Captivation: Want Nothing But You

Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt

Seeing the look on Ameer’s face, Clara immediately realized that what she said to him was in vain.
Ameer and Roger had been best of friends since childhood.
Their closeness caused them to have many similarity For instance they were both determined and stubborn.
If there was something they liked, nothing and no one could stop them from pursuing it.
Unfortunately, they fell in love with the swoman.
Considering their characters, who would want to back down? Clara sighed at this thought.
On the other hand, Ameer excused himself since he knew Clara and Rachel had something private to talk about.
"I’m a little thirsty.I’ll just go fetch swater."
With that, he turned around and left. The phone kept ringing.It looked like Rachel wouldn’t stop calling her.
As Clara watched Ameer’s receding figure, she answered the phone.
"Hi, Rachel."
During the first few weeks of this month, the weather was cold.
Luckily, today, the sun rose high in the sky so it was warm.
From a distance, Clara saw a Cayenne approaching the villa where she was waiting.
When it pulled over, she walked closer to greet the woman who just got out of the car.
"Hi, Rachel." Clara and a nurse wearing a pink uniform welcomed Rachel.
"Hi, Clara."
Rachel smiled at the two women politely.
The door on the other side opened and closed, revealing a small figure of a boy.
Joey walked to Rachel and held her hand tightly.Then, he looked up at Clara with a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

Clara was surprised when she saw Joey.
It was her first tto see Joey.
When she noticed how much the kid resembled Victor, she was astonished.
"Is he Mr.Sullivan’s nephew?"
"Emm...yes."
Rachel could only give a vague answer.In order to change the topic, she looked down at Joey and introduced Clara to him.
"Joe, this is Clara, a great doctor.Only then did Clara cback to her senses.She bent down and offered her hand to Joey for a
handshake.

"Hello, little guy.Nice to meet you."
"Nice to meet you too.My nis Joey.Since you are my mommy’s friend, you can callJoe, too."
Joey’s innocent face and his sweet greeting captured Clara’s heart immediately.
Perhaps she was too focused on his cute little face that she subconsciously ignored how he addressed Rachel.
The nurse behind Clara stepped forward and reminded them, "Dr.Jimenez, Miss Bennet, it’s almost the tfor the
appointment."
Hearing this, Clara glanced at her watch and then at Rachel.
"Let’s go inside."
What Joey knew was that his mother chere to meet a male friend.
Therefore, when he saw a beautiful female and heard about the appointment, he was a little confused.
"Mommy, is Aunt Clara the person you’re going to meet? Didn’t you say you’ll be meeting a male friend?"
The nurse walked ahead of them, leading the way.

Clara was beside Rachel and Joey, so she heard what he said.She figured that her friend didn’t tell the kid what kind of place this
was.
But Rachel didn’t answer any of Joey’s questions.
The inside of the villa appeared to be completely different from the outside.
This three-story structure had been constructed for a few years and its outer walls were clad in Boston ivy.
The leaves of the Boston ivy turned yellow in the late fall season, which added to the melancholy vibes of the villa from the
outside as if an old man was resting in a rocking chair, peacefully bathing in the sun.
But the interior of the villa was relatively different from the exterior.
It was simple, and the color palette that had been used was warm.
Below their feet was the floor made of wood.
Above was the high ceiling where the sunlight streamed through.
There was a slight floral scent in the air, which could help people feel a little relaxed.
When Joey was thinking about where his dad’s rival in love was, he heard footsteps coming from the stairs.
"Clara."
A gentle voice of a man rang in the quiet villa.
In an instant, Joey becvigilant.
He looked in the direction of the voice and saw a man wearing casual clothes walking towards them.
Clara greeted him first.

"Hi, Justin.Long tno see."
"I’m surprised that you remember me.I couldn’t believe it when you calledthis morning.How long haven’t you contacted me
since you graduated from school?"Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm

As Justin teased Clara, he took a glance at Rachel and Joey.
He frowned at the feeling the latter gave him.
It was as if the little boy was looking at a thief.
But this feeling quickly disappeared, which made Justin think that he was just imagining things.
When he looked at Joey again, the little boy lowered his head while holding Rachel’s hand, seemingly lost in thought.
"You have the nerve to blme, huh? Aren’t you the one who’s always busy? You’re always nowhere to be found, either giving
a speech or furthering your study somewhere."
Although it sounded like an accusation, Clara was smiling "If it is you who asksout, how can I not spare tto meet you?"
Justin joked.
After that, he looked at Rachel and asked Clara, "aren’t you going to introduce her to me?"
"This is the person I told you about this morning.She’s Rachel, my friend."
Turning her attention to Joey, Clara added, "This is also the first tI’ve seen this cute little boy.He is my acquaintance’s
child.My friend will take care of him for a while."
The man reached out his hand in front of Rachel.
"Hello, I’m Justin Hall! "I’m Rachel."
The handshake was brief because Rachel quickly took back her hand.
As always, when it cto other people, she was cold and aloof.
It was the first tthat Justin had met a woman who didn’t hesitate to show her resistance to him.It somehow sparked his
interest.
"Would you like swarm water? Since you are Clara’s friend, then you can consideras your friend too.Although we’re in
my office, you don’t have to treatas a doctor.Don’t be nervous, okay? You can say whatever you want to say as long as you
feel comfortable."

Yes, the reason why Rachel called Clara this morning was to ask for help in making an appointment with the best psychologist
she knew.
It was not that Rachel didn’t know any.In fact, the headquarters of the Red Hackers had hired sprofessional psychologists.
It was just not convenient to go there at this moment.
She urgently needed a psychologist.
Therefore, she asked Clara for help.
It just so happened that Justin thought Rachel was the patient, so she corrected, "Dr.Hall, I think you misunderstood me."
Her tone was always cold, giving people a sense of alienation.
"It’s notwho wants to see you.It’s him."
