NovelOnlineChapter 309 Nervous
“So, what’s the real reason?” Joey turned his head and met Carson’s piercing eyes. His voice beca little tense, and his
small hands on his thighs tightened. He was trying hard to hide his nervousness by making him appear as natural as possible.
However, he was still a kid. Carson instantly noticed the panic in his eyes. He then raised his eyebrows and asked deliberately,
“You seem to be nervous. What’s wrong?” “Nervous? No, I’m not. Why would I be?”
Joey answered quickly but stiffly. “Really? Then, why is your forehead sweating?” Hearing this, Joey immediately used his hand
to wipe his forehead. But to his surprise, his forehead was actually dry. That was when he realized that he had fallen in Carson’s
trap. Knowing that he was deceived, he glared at Carson. “Hey, little guy. I thought you weren’t nervous? Then, why would you
believeso easily? Why were you so anxious to wipe your sweat off your forehead?”
A playful smile appeared on Carson’s face. Trying to regain his composure, Joey put down his hand and said firmly, “I told you
I’m not nervous. You just lied to my face! Do you really call yourself an adult? Don’t you feel ashamed deceiving a child like this?”
“Ha-ha!” Hearing Joey’s words, the driver in front couldn’t help but chuckle. At the stime, Carson was rendered speechless.
He stared at the boy, wondering who had taught him to speak like this. He was so eloquent just now, calling out an adult for the
wrong that he had done. Carson wondered if it was because of his genes. But if the information the got was correct, the little
guy’s biological mother was just a poor student.
She was quite pretty, but she was an introvert. Therefore, she didn’t have that many friends. If so, did he inherit this attitude from
Odin? Carson thought that it was more unlikely. There was a saying stating that enemies knew you better than yourself. In fact,
he and Odin didn’t like each other for many years, but he knew Odin well. He was even more dull than Victor. In high school,
driving!” Carson felt embarrassed and scolded the driver. “Sorry, Mr. Scott.” The driver immediately stopped smiling and got back
to driving. At the stime, Carson’s phone rang, so they had to stop discussing the topic for now.
Joey let out a long sigh of relief, but the pressure enveloping in his heart was still there. ‘If he suddenly askedabout it, he
must have sensed that something is wrong. I have to be more careful from now on!’ Joey thought very hard, recalling how his
relationship with Carson played out.
He wondered what kind of mistake he did for a dense man like Carson to notice that something was amiss. When he was still
lost in his thoughts, Carson finished the phone call. That was when he saw the serious look in Joey’s eyes. He had just received
a call from his subordinate, who reported the current whereabouts of Joey’s mother. If nothing went wrong, they would be able to
bring her back soon enough.
Ding! At the stime, a message was sent to Carson’s phone. It was a picture of a woman with simple clothes, carrying a dish
in her hand. It seemed that she was a waitress at slocal restaurant. was a This woman was said to be Joey’s biological
mother. At this time, Carson looked at the photo and then looked at Joey. From his perspective, they didn’t look like each other at
all. Then, Carson searched for another photo of a woman in his phone. It was Rachel. Carson raised his phone once more,
looking at Joey and the photo of Rachel side by side.
To his surprise, Rachel’s eyes were really exactly the sas the little guy’s. For now, he had a theory. However, there wasn’t
any evidence to support it. Just saying that their eyes looked exactly the swouldn’t be enough to prove their connection.
Therefore, Carson didn’t say anything for now. He had to find more clues if he wanted to prove his theory Nonetheless, the
The car slowly stopped at the gate of the Salazar Group’s building, and there were quite a few people waiting outside.
Joey looked out of the car window and saw the couple standing behind a row of people. Before he could say something,
Carson’s voice resounded. “That old couple are Mr. and Mrs. Salazar. Originally, they would becVictor’s parents-in-law
soon.” After saying these words, Carson quickly got out of the car. Then, the driver also out of the car and walked around to open
the door. Under the gaze of the crowd, the driver assisted Joey to get out. At the stime, Carson walked towards the child.
Joey then raised his head, looked at Carson, and asked, “I don’t understand. Originally?
Did something go wrong?” He heard that his father was going to marry Susan later. And he was confused with what Carson said
just now. i “It’s because of this.” Carson just waved a contract in his hand and didn’t give any definite detail. One of the terms of
this contract was that the engagement between Susan and Victor would be officially cancelled. But considering that Joey was
just a child, Carson thought that it was unnecessary for him to explain such a complicated thing. “Has anyone ever told you...”
Joey looked at Carson with a frown and paused.
Carson was also a little surprised, not knowing what the kid meant. So, he raised his eyebrows and asked, “What?” . “Not only
do you talk a lot, but you also don’t know how to say things clearly.” Joey sighed. “That is not a good indication.” “Indication of
what?”
“Oh, don’t you know? In the early stage of Alzheimer’s disease, the patients tend to speak unclearly, just like what you’re doing.
Don’t worry. I know a skilled doctor. I can introduce you to him if you like Joey said flatly.
Realizing that the kid was mocking him again, the corner of Carson’s mouth twitched. “Should I thank you then?” “Not really. But
you’re welcome.” “You little...” “Carson.” Suddenly, the old couple, James and Tammy walked up to them, wearing a huge smile.
With the contract in his hand, Carson patted Joey’s head aggressively as his evenge. Then, with a smile on his face, he also
greeted, “Mr. and Mrs. Salazar, long tno see.”
