Mr. Billionaire Boundless Love

Selene jeeringly looked at him. Just in the morning, she had thought that she would marry the man in front of her and spend the rest of her life with him.

The man made her feel love. But also, on the same day, he managed to ruin it all. Everything that had ever happened between them seemed like a satiric play.

So Selene raised the corner of her lips but said nothing. Instead, she walked by him and into her apartment.

Austin stood by the door and looked at her back. Then he embarrassedly turned to Clint and helplessly threw his hands up, then turned to leave.

However, before he could even take a few steps, he heard a clanking sound behind him. He turned back and saw that Selene had taken a pile of stuff and had thrown them on the ground.

He looked at them and found they were male articles, which included clothes, slippers, razors, a toothbrush, and so on.

Then Selene opened the door wider and pointed outside, turning to Clint. “Go. And, from now on, you and I are strangers. See you never.”

“I didn’t mean to keep it a secret,” Clint said quietly, frowning.

“It doesn’t matter whether you did it intentionally or not. It’s who you are that matters.”

Selene spoke her heart.

The main problem was that Clint was Selene’s biological mother’s stepson.

Great helplessness poured over in Clint’s mind again. It was an unfamiliar feeling, and he felt like he was on the brink of death. But, again, he managed to speak out in a hoarse voice. “This isn’t between us. It’s between our parents.”

He paused for a while, then continued. “Selene, I love you. Would you please not let this affect our relationship? That’s unfair. I love you so much.”

Hearing this, Selene was still jeering and raised the corner of her lips.

“You love me? I wonder how you fell in love with me. Are you taking pity on the poor girl who her mom abandoned? Or are you trying to compensate for the love I didn’t get from my mother? You’re such a ‘great man.” She spat out the last sentence sarcastically.

“You know clearly that’s not the case.” Clint sighed feebly.

He stretched out his hand to hold her, but she slapped it away without any sympathy. Then she pointed to the outside again. “I don’t care what else you have to say. Just leave right now! You and your parents have nothing to do with me. I don’t want to see you ever again.”

Clint wanted to answer back and beg for another chance. But Austin came in and dragged him out of the room. “Mr. Denovan. It’s better if you leave now.”

When Clint turned to look at Selene again, she slammed the door hard.

Austin smiled helplessly. “It’s hard for Selene to process all of this. If you really love her, please leave her alone. You know her well. She can’t be in a relationship with you. You’re her mother’s stepson.”

Clint kept silent and stood there motionless.

“It’s late. You should head home and rest.” Austin said.

But Clint didn’t respond.

Then Austin had no other choice but to smile. “Okay, I’ll leave now. If you need any help, please call me.”

Then he left. But he turned back to look at Clint one more time. He saw a man leaning against the door, surrounded by a pile of male articles. The man was desperate but, at the same time, cold, handsome, and hard to deal with.

When Austin left, Clint just stood by the door. He did not knock but remained motionless. By midnight, no one else had come, and the automatic lights on the corridor turned off.

In the apartment, Selene was curled up on the sofa.

She knew that Clint had not left yet and was still outside the door.

She could throw away his stuff and wipe away all traces of him. But she knew that it would be near impossible to get over the man that she loved.

She slept terribly that night, and her sleep was littered with dreams and memories.

“Selene. When you finish eating this box of chocolate, Mom will be back.”

“My mom will also be yours.”

****

The next morning, Selene was awoken by a loud knocking at the front door. Her head was swimming. She tiredly dragged herself to the front door and opened it, touching her forehead lightly. “Hey, Austin. Why are you here so early?” She said without opening her eyes.

“I just came to check up on you,” Austin said, putting his palm against Selene’s forehead.

“Of course I’m alright. Did you think I would kill myself?” She said, swatting his hand away.

Austin smiled. “I’ve brought you some breakfast.” He briefly looked around as if looking for someone. “When did Clint leave last night?”This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

“How could I know? It’s none of my business.” Selene snapped, taking the food out of Austin’s hands.

“Will you ever forgive him?” Austin probed.

Selene glanced at him. “Austin, if you were me, would you ever forgive him? Other than his lying, I could never see myself with him as long as that woman’s in his life.”

Selene then laughed at herself with irony. “The woman that I’ve not seen in over 20 years is finally back in my life, and she nearly became my mother-in-law! But in my mind, Dora is my real mom.”

“I don’t know if Dora would like to be your mom, but I know for sure that she’d love to be your mother-in-law!” Austin laughed.

“Stop joking! I was being serious.” Selene rolled her eyes.

“I’m just trying to cheer you up. I wouldn’t say I like it when you’re sad. Anyway, remember that I’ll always have your back, no matter what! You’re not in this alone.”

“I will. Thank you, Austin.” Selene looked at him with a grateful expression.

“Time for me to leave. I need to get back to work. You should rest after you finish your breakfast.” Austin patted her on the shoulder.

Selene nodded.
