Mr. Billionaire Boundless Love

“Why should I do that? Even though she treated me well when I was young, she abandoned us. She hasn’t even tried to get back into contact with me in so many years. If she eventually decides to come back after all this time, why should I forgive her?” Selene raised her hands in exasperation.

“Let’s just talk about something else. I brought you breakfast. You should eat.” She said.

Harry started eating the soup with a satisfied look on his face. Selene suddenly had a look of realization. “You won’t be able to use your hand the same way as before, even after it heals fully. So why don’t you come with me to Huston, and I can take care of you.”

Hearing this, Austin, who had stayed quiet in the previous conversation, quickly chimed in. “Yes, I could bring my mom to Houston, too. So we could maybe all live together in the city.”

“No. I won’t shut down the factory anytime soon. The order we’re working on will take several months to finish. I should be responsible to my staff and tell them in advance if I will shut it down.” Harry shook his head. “Your apartment will be crowded with all of us there, and I’m not used to that.”

“It’s okay if you don’t want to go with me. It’s your own life. but you should take care of yourself and stop drinking.” Selene said.

“It was my fault, Selene. I won’t drink like this again. You and Austin lived close with each other, and you can depend on each other.”

Selene felt touched by his words. Before she could answer, Austin grinned and spoke, “Harry, don’t worry about Selene. I’ll take care of her!”

Harry had stayed in the hospital for three days. Selene kept busy taking care of him and helping him manage the factory. Luckily, the doctor told them that Harry’s hands would heal within one month. She felt relieved.

She rarely spent any time on social media, but every time she used the internet, she always managed to come across news about Jennifer Keller and Clint Denovan. The image of the two emotionally hugging each other on the stage was plastered everywhere, and online articles talked about them as if they were from a romantic fairy tale.

Though Selene herself knew the truth, she still felt disgusted by these articles.

Clint had called her a few times these past few days, but she did not answer him.

She hated the state of things between her and Clint. She wanted to deal with the chaos.

She had thought of staying home for a few more days, but there were many orders in her store, and Austin would stay here with her if she did not go back to Houston, so she decided to go back soon.

The last day she stayed in her hometown was Valentine’s Day. It was very hot and popular among younger people.

Before dawn arrived, Selene and Harry had just had dinner. Austin came over and invited Selene to go for a walk. Selene was about to sweep the floor, but when Harry heard Austin’s invitation, he grabbed the mop and asked Selene to go out. “You will go to Houston tomorrow. Just go out and have fun.”

Selene agreed with her father and went out together with Austin.

“Are you still worried about Harry?” Austin asked as they started walking.

“Yes, I am.”

“Don’t worry. We could come back to visit them more often than before. I also plan on visiting my mom once a month.”

“Why is my father so stubborn about getting into a relationship with your mom? If they would just move in together, we wouldn’t need to worry about them so much.”

“I agree, but we can’t force things. It should be their decision, not ours.”

“But it’s not just about emotions. They should take their age into consideration- Living together would make it more convenient to get things done, and they could depend on each other.”

“Maybe not. Marriage should be more out of love, not convenience.”

Selene glanced at him and laughed. “How much do you know about love? Oh, I just remembered. You said you’re truly in love with someone. Who is that? You’ve never revealed who it was.”

“It’s no one. I was only joking.” Austin attempted to evade the topic.

“I had a feeling you were only joking.” Selene rolled her eyes.

“But it’s true….” Austin said.

“Are you okay?”

“Let’s walk along the bank.” Austin smiled and dragged her arm.

By the bank, there were many lovers, arm in arm or kissing.

“I remember that I started to have feelings towards girls when I was a high school student,” Austin said.

“Who is that?”

“It’s a secret.”

“Why won’t you tell me? I’ve told you all about Joseph and me. Why don’t you share these things with me? It’s not fair!”

Austin smiled and said, “Let me buy you flowers today.”

Then Austin went to buy a bunch of flowers and gave them to Selene.

“Why did you buy me flowers?”

“I’ve bought you flowers many times. Do you still remember when we parted ways to go to different colleges?”

“Yes. We walked by the river, and you gave me a bunch of flowers to say goodbye.”

“I also left a note in the bouquet. Do you remember what it said? We will never truly part ways. Let’s stay friends and take care of each other forever.'”

Selene snorted. “Yes, when we were very young, we often told each other that we should take care of each other forever. I remember.”

“Yes, but we are much closer to each other than many couples.”

“Yes. You’re not wrong.”Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

“Selene, you said that you want to know about the girl I’m in love with.”

“Yes. Just tell me who it is. Surely, we’re close enough that you can reveal it to me.”

“It’s you,” Austin said with a serious tone. “I’ve been meaning to tell you this for a long time. But, when I was ready to do it, you got into a relationship with Joseph. But last year, you broke up with him, and I realized that you were never truly in love with Joseph. I think this is a sign from the heavens, and I should make use of this opportunity.”
