Journey to Happy Ending

Chapter 1806 The Ending (Part One)

"Exactly! Why are you staring in such a manner?! Does it mean that you wish to harass our son just

because I gave the oyster to him?" Leena said, pretending to be serious. At moments such as this,

Leena, as a mother, would definitely take her son's side.

"Do you think he's going to obey me unhesitatingly despite being an independent young adult?" Kevin

asked helplessly, rolling his eyes. Looking at his wife and his son voicing support for each other

aroused both rage and amusement in Kevin. However, he had grown accustomed to it recently and

even had begun enjoying them. As long as he got to see the reciprocation of love between the mother-

son duo, he'd remain happy and content.

"Of course he won't," Leena said softly, beaming. Although the times were changing quickly, their love

toward each other had stood the test of time and was as rigid as ever.

"Or should we arrange a mountain life experience for him during his summer vacation?" Kevin

proposed deliberately, with his shiny eyes.

"Well, I think that's a good proposal," said Leena, without much hesitation. She was completely in favor

of Kevin's idea. As he was still too young and had been showing an invincible vigor recently, she

thought that exposing him to the harsh realities of life was necessary to blunt his dash and render him a

novel perspective of life.

"Well, you guys are going to decide my vacation plans without consulting me? Have I turned

transparent yet again?" Richard asked desperately, being annoyed by their behaviour. As a matter of

fact, Richard knew his protests would hit on deaf ears and he'd have to eventually accept their

proposal, because their plan always seemed to be better than the counter proposals he could raise. As

a result, he had gotten used to his apparently unscrupulous parents, discussing how to "punish" him

right in front of him ignoring his very existence.

As time swept by, Kevin did what he had promised and fulfilled Leena's longheld dream of shooting

wedding photos, and during that time, Spencer and Huey had returned to S City.

So the young adults, including Owen, got together at a compartment of KTV and held a discussion on

their future plans. Compared to other talkative boys, Owen had much less words to yield. Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

"Owen, you are bound to graduate from your university within two years from now. Do you plan to work

at FX International Group and embrace a career you abhor?" Spencer asked straightforwardly. The boy

had inherited mixed traits from his parents including remaining calm and steady during times of crises,

like Mr. Cold, his father, and being straightforward and fierce, like Belinda, his mother. It seemed that

he indeed had a very contrasting character. But when the traits of both his parents exhibited

concomitantly out of him, they sought to erupt in perfect rhythm.

"Well, I am not sure about it yet. My father keeps claiming that he will always respect my choice and

opinion. In fact I am apprehensive regarding pursuing the career of an astronaut," Owen admitted with

profound regret. Among all the boys around, he was always the renowned overthinking person, even

though it mostly made him confused.

"It's all right. You're still quite young. So it means that you have plenty of time to eventually figure that

out," Huey assured him. It was hard to ignore Huey's coldness, but it also made him seem more

attractive. It was the extended attractiveness that quite often made people hesitate to take their eyes

off him.

"Yes! I think so too," Owen said with a casual smile. He had dropped the issue. Many a time, he felt as

if he was going through unnecessary pain.

"If you don't like your major right now, why are you still pursuing it actively?" Justin asked with a frown.

It was unusual to have heard of such a thing, so he pretended to be serious in order to dig out a little

more. Perhaps owing to the age difference between him and the rest of the people present, they stayed

away from him most often. That led to his ignorance about the personal problems and worries they

were going through, like Owen.

"At the beginning, I chose it because I didn't want to disappoint my dad. He always thought if I pursued

finance, I might be able to work for you someday," Owen said frankly in a low voice. Owen was indeed

a little afraid of Justin. Mostly, he didn't dare look Justin in the eye and always held the assumption that

his sharp eyes might decipher all the emotions that he'd been bottling up inside him.

"Seriously, do you think I need help? If you really aren't interested in your current major, then just

change your major! Or go abroad to take up something you are fond of and something you can connect

to. As for your father, I'll talk to him," Justin quickly proposed. Justin was their natural leader. He made

quick, prompt and sensible decisions in a moment's notice. Moreover, his decisions, which turned out

to be mostly right, never required consultation with others.

"No, thank you, Justin! But I do not possess such enmity towards finance as you seem to assume.

Besides, without pursuing finance, the road ahead looks dark and uncertain," sighed Owen. 'As a

matter of fact, no one knows me better than my father. Perhaps it was the means he used to force me

to pick up finance that developed an innate hatred for the subject in me. That's why I am experiencing

a lack of interest in the subject.' Owen thought in his mind.

"If you don't like it, don't force yourself to work on it," Justin advised sincerely, "We Mu Family do

possess enough money to support you to change your major to anything that appeals to you." He

never treated Owen as a stranger to the Mu Family. Instead, he had always regarded Owen as his own

little brother since childhood, but he might have refrained from displaying his affection publicly on many

occasions.

"Ok. I understand, Justin," Owen said calmly. Meanwhile, he bit his lower lip and looked at Justin a little

restlessly, thinking that the topic about his major that Spencer had brought forward might have made

his brother Justin irritated.

"Then, you guys have fun! I need rush," Justin said as he got up and began to leave. Instinctively, the

entire room stood up in unison when he got up to leave, as a mark of respect for him.

"Please don't leave, Justin! Our party has only just begun. It will not be fun if you leave right now," one

of them said, seemingly upset with his abruptly intended departure. 'If Justin leaves, the party will be

devoid of any fun!' they all thought.

"Justin, where are you rushing to? Can't you wait for me to come home with you?" Jasmine Ouyang

asked, pouting her lips. If her brother Justin stepped inside home first, her protective father Edward

would definitely keep pestering her to return home as soon as possible.

"You return with Owen later. I urgently need to visit a friend now," Justin said gently. He was a man who

wasn't completely understood by anyone. Hence, his presence often ended up being overwhelming to

others. He never had to exhibit his decisive trait deliberately, but it always followed him obediently like

his shadow. What was more, he always looked handsome and dignified, which made him even more

appealing.

"All right, then! But you can't go home by yourself without taking me!" Jasmine said happily. In order to

be free from the annoying clutches of her overprotective father, Jasmine Ouyang had no other option

but to earn such a promise from her brother.

"I see. You go have fun!" Justin said, pinching her face, and then went on to say, "You guys get along

with your party. The bill is on me"
