Mr. Billionaire Boundless Love

“What accident? He drank himself into unconsciousness and got his fingers hurt today. Will he get himself killed as a result of his drunkenness someday?” Selene shouted at her father angrily, “Harry Morris. If you have a death wish, please let me know in advance so that I can mentally prepare to make peace with that.”

Harry kept silent without responding. He lowered his head in shame.NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

“He didn’t mean to do that. He is hurt and in a lot of pain. You need to calm yourself down and keep him accompanied.” Austin walked over to Selene and placed a comforting hand on her shoulder.

Selene looked at Harry’s bandaged hand, and a sudden realization made her even angrier. “If you end up disabled, it will be me who will have to take care of you!”

“Don’t worry. If that happens, I’ll hire some maids to take care of me.” Harry finally spoke.

Selene was too angry to think and act rationally. “Dora. Austin. Are you seeing it now? How angry does he makes me?”

Dora smiled embarrassedly. “You two should calm down and have a good talk. Selene’s very worried about you. You should understand that.”

Hearing this, Harry snorted without saying a word.

Selene helplessly shook her head. “Harry keeps drinking because of that woman. How is he still not over her after so many years?”

“That woman is your mother. You should show some respect.” Harry said.

“No, she’s not my mother. It’s Dora who has taken care of me since I was young. Dora is my real mom.”

Harry went silent again.

“Selene. Your father is in bad condition now, so he should rest. Maybe you could continue this discussion tomorrow. I’ll take care of things here.”

“Yes.” Austin agreed. “Let’s go and come back tomorrow.”

Selene was sympathetic to her father’s physical pain, and she nodded. “Okay. Rest up. I’ll come back tomorrow and bring you something delicious.”

Selene was exhausted.

Without anyone else in the street, Selene and Austin’s footsteps were especially audible.

“Try to calm down a little, and don’t be so angry with him. He’s hurt and needs some support. Don’t make things worse for him.”

“Austin. Have you ever experienced loving someone so much?” Selene touched her forehead and asked.

Hearing it, Austin seemed frozen and did not answer her until several minutes passed. “Yes.” He smiled.

“Why don’t I know about it? I thought you’ve told me everything about you. Haven’t you?”

“Yes, but this is something more private, and I don’t feel comfortable talking about it.”

Selene did not want to probe him further about it. She shook her hands in defeat. “I wonder if you can ever get over someone if you truly love them. Or maybe my father is just being stubborn and doesn’t want to forget about that woman!”

“Emotions are a complicated matter. If it’s that easy for you to forget someone you loved, then maybe you never truly loved that person. My mother has told me that Harry loves your mom very much. Maybe there’s something we don’t know.”

“Bullshit! She just abandoned us. I hope she’s dead. Then maybe my father can stop hoping that she’ll come back.”

“Maybe you should stop thinking about this for now. Go back home and sleep. You need to prepare breakfast for Harry tomorrow morning.” Austin said.

Selene got up very early and went to the market to buy food and cook for Harry. She wanted to prepare a few good foods for her father.

When she finished cooking some soup, Austin came and stepped into the kitchen. He ate some of the soup Selene had just prepared and felt very satisfied.

“When will you leave for Houston?” Selene asked.

“I’m not busy, so I’ll wait for you. I wanted to spend time with you too,” A pleasant smile appeared at the corner of his lips, staring at Selene’s reaction.

“I’ll stay with him for more than 5 or 6 days until he gets better.”

“All right. I’ll stay too and help. And then we can go back to Houston together.”

“Austin, you don’t need to worry about me. I can take care of myself and my father.”

“Actually, I’ve been looking for an excuse for a break from work. So please don’t take that excuse away from me.” Austin smiled.

“Okay then. Let’s go see my father.” Selene smiled helplessly.

Dora and Harry did not sleep well last night either.

Selene took a deep breath, restrained her temper, and softly apologized to her father. “Sorry for losing my temper last night, Dad. Please don’t be angry with me. You must be in a lot of pans. I will stay here for a few days to take care of you. Dora, you can go home and rest. I’ll take care of him.”

“I will stay here with you. Selene,” Austin said hurriedly.

“Okay. I’ll go home. Take good care of him, you two.”

“Thanks for the help, Dora, and sorry for the trouble that I caused.” Harry apologized to the older woman.

“Don’t worry, Harry. I’ll go home and have a good rest.”

After Dora left, Selene took out the breakfast she had prepared for her father and put it on the table. “It’s obvious that you have feelings for Dora. So why is your mind preoccupied with a woman who left you and will never come back? Dora has been so good to you, didn’t you see that?”

“I think you’re misunderstanding something, and it’s too hard for me to explain. It was my fault that your mom left us. She isn’t a bad person at all,” Her father added. A glimpse of sadness came across his eyes.

“What do you mean? I still remember the day she left me by the road and went away with another strange man.”

Harry sighed sadly, then continued. “When you were young, your mother loved you very much. Don’t hate her for the things that happened between her and me. If she comes back to us someday in the future, I hope that you will treat her as your mother.”
