Mr. Billionaire Boundless Love

“What’s wrong with you two? You’re both acting very strangely tonight.”

“Nothing at all. Selene. I need to go back home. Maybe you and Harry can have a talk.” Dora glanced at her, sighed, and left.

Selene felt at a loss. “What’s wrong, Dad?” Selene asked. “Is there a problem with Clint?”

“Selene. You should break up with him.”

“Why? What did he do?” Selene was dumbfounded

“Nothing. I just have a bad feeling about him.”

“No. There must be a reason. You’re being ridiculous right now.”

“Does he come from a rich family?”

“I don’t know much about his family. But yes, they’re rich.”

“How about Clint Denovan himself?”

“Yes. He’s very rich, but I don’t care about his money. I earn enough for myself.”

“Selene. All I want from you as a father is to have a good and happy life. But we’re just simple working people. They are a different breed. They are billionaires. They might as well be aliens to us.”

“This is ridiculous! So what if they’re rich?”

“Selene, just trust me on this one. You two come from different worlds, and this will cause problems down the road.”

“Don’t worry, dad. I haven’t met his family, but he told me that his parents are open-minded and down to earth.”

“His parents, his parents…” Harry’s body tensed but then relaxed. Finally, he let out a big sigh. “Okay then. I just hope everything will be okay.”

“I’m nothing like you when it comes to love. You spent your life being miserable about a relationship that didn’t work out. If anything, this has taught me not to make the same mistake as you.”

“Selene, you’re grown up now. I can’t make decisions for you or push you to do anything you don’t want to do. I just hope you’ll think carefully before committing. The man is rich and handsome, which is good, but the most important is the love between you two. But what about his family? Will they accept you? Will you get along with them?”

“You’re talking as if I’m about to marry him,” Selene said impatiently. “I’ll meet his family and learn more about him and his past. Then I will decide whether to marry him or not.”

“You’ll meet his family? His parents?”

“Yes.” Selene nodded. “You’re right about his family. Maybe we should meet them and see if we can get along or not.”

“Selene…” Harry frowned and looked deep in thought.

“What?” Selene asked with a confused tone.

Harry sighed heavily again. He shook his head. “Nothing. This is your decision, and I’ll support you, no matter what.”

“Don’t worry, dad. I’ll take care of myself, and you should too. Why not move in with Dora? You two could take care of each other.”

“Nonsense!”

When Selene was ready for sleep, she got a call from Clint, who was on the way back to Houston.

“Is Harry angry with me?” Clint asked.

“No. He’s just worried that your family will look down on mine because we’re working class.” Selene rolled her eyes.

“Is that it?”

“Be honest, ” Selene said. ”Do your parents ever interfere with your personal life?”

“No. Never. All they want is for me to find a girl I love.” He said, then paused for a few seconds. “By the way. They’ll come to Houston in a few days, and I’ll take you to meet them.”

****

After the holiday in Selene’s hometown, both Selene and Harry returned to their respective jobs; Selene went back to Houston to tend to her clothing store, and Harry returned to his factory.

Selene arrived at her apartment at 9 o’clock, and she swiftly went to Austin’s apartment to get food from her hometown. She stopped in front of his door and knocked, waiting patiently for a response.

She hadn’t told Austin in advance about her return, and she said that Austin would probably be busy at his company right now. But it was worth a try.

Just as she was about to leave, the door opened.

Austin looked tired and worn out. He blinked a few times in surprise. “You’re back already? I thought you would be gone for a long time.”

“Have you been working all night again?” Selene asked, rolling her eyes.

Austin laughed. “Did my mum send this?” He took the bag from Selene.

“She did.” Selene smiled. ”I gotta go now. You should get back to sleep.”

“No, Selene.” Austin took hold of her hand. “Since your boyfriend’s moved in with you, we haven’t met up much. Please stay. We need to catch up.”All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

Selene laughed and followed him into the house. But when she saw the mess all around her, she gasped. “Did a hurricane go through your house?”

“I’m too busy to do any cleaning.”

“I know your work keeps you busy, but you should pay more attention to your home life. Your work takes all of your energy, and you’re falling apart.”

“I’m not falling apart. I feel great, and I’m full of energy.” Austin said, waving his hand dismissively. “By the way. I’ve heard that you introduced Clint to Harry.”

“Yes.” Selene nodded.

“How did it go?”

“I don’t really want to get into it. I expected Dad to be happy about it, but he wasn’t.”

“Why not?”

“Some ridiculous reason. He thinks that Clint’s rich family won’t accept me.”

“Oh, he might worry about that, but I’m sure he’s happy that your boyfriend is very rich and handsome.”

“Right.” Selene rolled her eyes.

“But Harry’s worries make sense. It may not be easy to get along with his rich family. You’ve also told me that he did not let you meet his parents back when you were married to him.”

A slight look of realization washed through Selene’s expression as if she just remembered something. “Yes. He told me that his parents would come to Houston, and he’d arrange a meeting this time. He has always told me that his parents are very open-minded and down-to-earth. But maybe this isn’t normal.”

“I know some friends who live in Coastal City, and I’ll see if I can find out anything about his parents. His family is well-known in the city, so it shouldn’t be too hard.”
