Mr. Billionaire Boundless Love

Austin stared at her with a smile. Then, he leaned forward and kissed her on the lips, and finally hugged her.

He hugged her for a long time without saying anything.

“What’s wrong?” Selene asked after a while.

“Nothing. I just wanna hug you.”

Selene smiled and hugged him back, leaning against his shoulder.

The sun shone brightly, and it was a hot summer day, but they didn’t care.

After a long while, Austin finally stopped hugging her and smiled. “Maybe we’re destined to be friends but not lovers.”

“What are you talking about, Austin?” Selene frowned.

“If my mom gets married to your dad, then we’ll be brother and sister. If we get married, they won’t marry, in case it creates problems for us. So how about us just being brother and sister?”

Selene did not smile but thought for a while.This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

“I’ve lived for 28 years only loving one girl,” Austin said. ”I’ve been thinking recently that I should try loving more.”

“Oh, bullshit.” Selene rolled her eyes.

“Selene. I don’t want either of us to have regrets later on. I know that since we were born, you never loved me at all. The past few months didn’t make a difference. I know that you’ll never love me like you love Clint.”

“But I won’t marry him.”

“It doesn’t matter. What matters is that you’ll have the chance to find your true love instead of living your life with a man whom you only love like a brother.”

“But that’s still true love, isn’t it?”

“It’s different.” Austin shook his head, “I’m not only considering this because of you but also because of me. I want to find someone who also loves me.”

Selene smiled. “Are you sure about this, Austin?”

“Yes. I’ve thought about it for a long time. When I heard your father’s story today, I made my decision. I don’t want to have big regrets when I’m old.”

“If that’s what you want, I’ll respect your decision.” She patted him on the shoulder. “We’ll remain friends forever.’

Finally, everything went back to normal in Selene’s life, and her work went really well once again. Now she could completely focus on designing clothes, which she was really great at. The clothes she designed helped her gain lots of popularity. Many famous magazines interviewed her.

But she did not enjoy this newfound popularity. Selene especially hated mixing work with her own personal life, so she kept a low profile and just got on with her work as best as she could.

She had not met Clint Denovan for a long time.

One day, she was flipping through a magazine when she noticed an article on SSGB’s investment in Europe. She saw the photo of Clint’s team, and her gaze instantly went to the man himself.

She stared at it as if she hadn’t seen Clint in a very long time.

When winter arrived, Selene’s 28th birthday also came. At this age, Selene did not care much about celebrating birthdays.

She had been meeting many new people in her recent career endeavors, and there were some men who expressed their interest in Selene. But she didn’t care much for this attention, and she found none of these men appealing.

It wasn’t on purpose, however, as she didn’t like being single. Instead, she would have liked to get married and have children.

But every time she had decided that she would find a man to marry, she couldn’t help but remember Austin’s words, “I want to find someone who also loves me.”

Her best friends, Emily and Austin, were too busy on her birthday and couldn’t celebrate the day with her. But they both sent Selene gifts and birthday wishes.

After she finished her work and left her studio, she was greeted by a bouquet of red roses.

The bouquet was large enough to hide the man who was holding it. “Happy birthday!” The man said.

Selene smiled and took it. She then looked at the handsome man in front of her. “How did you know it’s my birthday?”

“Don’t forget that I’m your boss, and I have your personal information.” Mike, the director of JU Brand, looked at Selene with a smile. “How are you gonna celebrate?”

“I’m gonna eat dinner, then go to sleep.”

“Oh, that’s sad. How about we go get some drinks at a bar?”

“Why not?” Selene replied.

Though Selene worked in the fashion field, she had a very boring personal life and rarely went out to drink.

Mike took her to a lively bar that also had a dance floor full of young people who were enjoying themselves and trying to impress their dates.

“You design clothes. You’re an artist. Visit a place like this once in a while, and you might get some inspiration.” Mike said, turning to Selene.

Selene smiled without saying anything.

They chose a place to sit and asked for two bottles of whiskey.

“Happy birthday!” Mike cheered.

“Thank you,” Selene replied.

Mike took a sip and half-smiled. “I thought you were Clint Denovan’s girlfriend. He had recommended you to our brand before. Also, when your store burned down, he convinced me to give you more time to prepare. But now it seems to me that you two aren’t together.”

Hearing Clint’s name, Selene suddenly started thinking about him but came back after a while and smiled. “Yeah. That’s right.”

“So, you’re single?” Mike asked.

“Yes, I am.” Selene nodded and smiled.

“So am I. What a coincidence! It seems fate brought us together!” He teased.

“But I have heard that you are good at finding girlfriends. And you have a lot of exes.”

“That’s only a rumor,” Mike joked. ”Don’t pay attention to those.”

“You look the part.” Selene nodded and put on a fake, sincere expression.

Mike shrugged his shoulders and winked at her. “I admit that I’ve gone through lots of relationships when I was younger. But now I’m ready to settle down. What about you? Are you interested?”

“What do you mean? Interested in settling down?” Selene tilted her head.

“Yes. With me.
