Captivation: Want Nothing But You novel Chapter 367

The birthday party got underway a short while after Carson had left With her father at her side, Susan made her way to the center of the hall. The hall was dim, and Susan seemed like a gorgeous goddess thanks to a white beam of light that dropped on her from above. “It means a lot that you came to my daughter’s birthday celebration, so thank you. Today is my daughter’s twenty sixth birthday,” James remarked calmly with a microphone in his hand. “Her presence in my life sums up to the twenty-six years. When she was a baby, I could just about hold her in one arm. Look at her now. She has transformed into a stunning young lady now.”

James shifted his gaze to Susan and continued, “I want to tell about my actual emotions, which might sound funny to you. She used to follow me about asking for candy. That is still a part of my memory, even now as an adult. I

I was afraid she would acquire a cold today. She told me not to treat her like a child.”

“Dad…” Susan called out, James’ humorous and lighthearted connection with her made the environment pleasant and also made the people laugh. “Needless to say, I disagreed with her when I heard what she said. It doesn’t count how old kids get, they

However, despite my best efforts, I have to concede that my once-crying daughter has matured and is now capable of taking care of herself. We’ve made it our mission to give her whatever she wants since the day she was born. Her happiness is paramount to us. Her mother and I were not on the same page with her when we learned that she wanted to work in the entertainment industry. Being in the entertainment industry, she would have to put in a lot of effort on her own to succeed. We couldn’t do anything for her being her parents. Fortunately, she is very competitive. She has gained a lot of fans who like her, and she really has the ability to do things on her own.”

All the wealthy ladies and gentlemen were moved by James’ words, which were ingrained in the hearts of the people. They were enamored with Susan as a result of her father’s words. “Dad, I don’t what I’d be doing now if you didn’t agree. Thanks,” said Susan, moved. “Susan, congratulations on your professional success. I’m not sure what else I can do for you.” James took Susan’s hand and turned to face her with a fatherly gesture. “It’s your birthday today. I’d like to use this opportunity to make my feelings known to you in front of the entire audience.”

That got Susan puzzled. “You have been up and about on your own for all these years! I understand that’s exhausting t times. When your mother returned from visiting you, she would constantly cry in private because she felt terrible for you, claiming that you frequently fell asleep in the car due to fatigue. When I heard it, I felt a mixture of remorse and joy. I felt bad for you since you had to give up your steady life and go out to find a new one.

I was also pleased that you found a job that you truly enjoyed. Happy birthday, my lovely daughter!” James’ eyes became crimson when he talked about this. Susan was, after all, his daughter. Surely, he must have felt terrible for her. He took Susan’s hand and said, “Remember that I and your mother will always be there for you, come what may! Go ahead and do whatever makes you happy!”

James’ arms were open as Susan flung herself in their embrace with a tear dropping and told him, “I love you!”

“Yes, but you may refer to me as Ameer.” Ameer gave a bashful smile. Ameer was one of the definitely wealthy guests at Rachel’s birthday celebration, even though she had no idea who he was. Apliaria wasn’t particularly large. It was home to only a few well-to-do households. There must only be one Gordon in the Apliaria, given his surname and his affluent background. “You are Mr. Gordon’s…?” Confusion was written all over Rachel’s face. “Yes. Mr. Gordon is my dad,” Ameer answered her promptly. It was through the development and sale of new energy vehicles that the Gordon family became wealthy.

In recent years, this was one of the wealthiest families in the Apliaria. Andy noted that a son of the Gordon family’s head had recently returned from a trip overseas. He had to be the one standing in front of Rachel. Everybody else at the party maintained some distance from her except this young man. He must have had a lot of guts approaching her. “Well, then I guess I’ll take the card and leave if you have nothing else to say to me,” Rachel said, holding a corner of the card with two fingers and waving it, indicating her departure. “Miss Bennet, are there any chances that I could leave the party with your number?” Seeing her leaving, Ameer quickly came up with something, at least to stop her from leaving. Rachel stopped at this.

Ameer’s earlobes grew redder, then he continued, “I recently returned to the country. I heard a lot of things about you when I came. That got me so fascinated. Until I met you tonight, my God! I had no idea you were more gorgeous than my imaginations showed me.”

At that, Rachel could tell what he was probably going to say next. Ameer stood a head higher than Rachel, despite his youth. She smiled, “Mr. Gordon.”

“Yes?”

“I’ve been married before. We can’t be a match.” Rachel made no more comments. She was adamant in her refusal of Ameer Ameer had not anticipated being rejected by Rachel so quickly before he could even express his intentions. It was quite humiliating for him. “That’s fine…” “Rachel.” A stunning lady approached Rachel.
