Mr. Billionaire Boundless Love

After a while, the secretary pushed the door open and looked at him with concern. “Mr. Denovan, are you okay?”

Clint was clutching his head with his hands. He looked up at her coldly and shook his head. “Yes. I’m okay.”

The secretary saw the photos on the floor and walked over, attempting to pick them up. However, Clint stopped her. “Please leave! I’ll call you if I need you. I want some privacy right now,” He shouted, and his mood changed after he saw the photos given by Jennifer.

The secretary was frightened and left swiftly. Clint’s outburst shocked her, as he wasn’t usually bad-tempered but rather always maintained a poker face.

Clint sighed and crouched down. He picked up the photos from the floor and piled them into the drawer.

When he sat himself down, he grabbed his phone and called Selene again.

This time, his call was answered. “Hello, what’s wrong?” Came Selene’s voice. She didn’t expect Clint to call him.

“Why haven’t you picked up any of my calls?”

“No reason.” She coldly answered. She was giving him a hint that she wanted to stop communicating with him.

“Are you back in Houston? I’ll come by the store now.”

“Please don’t. I’m not at the store.” Selene paused and continued, “Clint. I think our relationship is pointless, and we should end it. So please don’t contact me anymore. Let’s forget about the past and move on.”

Clint felt rage but laughed. “Are you afraid that your Austin will misunderstand our relationship? Does he know about our marriage? Would you like me to tell him about it? I will be glad to tell him that once you’ve become my wife,” A sarcastic tone was added to his voice.

“This has nothing to do with Austin. Our marriage was a mistake, and I want to move past it.”

“A mistake?” He couldn’t believe his ears. A pain came across his heart.

“Yes.” Selene was trying to control her tears at this moment.

Clint sneered and hung up.

Selene was sitting in Austin’s car and felt a little dizzy.

“Was that Clint?” Austin glanced at her.

Selene nodded.

“What happened between you two? Were you really married?”

Selene kept silent for a moment, then suddenly answered, “Yes. We were married to each other briefly.”

“Are you serious?”

“And we divorced.” She added, almost a murmur.

Suddenly, Austin stopped the car, seemingly shocked.

“Please don’t stop here. It’s illegal.” Selene said, frightened.

“Is this a joke? I can’t believe this!”

“Why would I joke about this? I haven’t told anyone about this, not even my father. I don’t want to remind myself about it anymore. You’ve asked, so I told you. I don’t want to lie to you.”

“It’s only been a year since you broke up with Joseph. How did you get married and divorced in such a short time?”

“Because of Joseph’s betrayal, I got married to Clint on a whim. But it turned out that we’re not right for each other, so we got a divorce.”

“It seems that he wants to make peace with you. You also have feelings for him, so why not accept him?”

“How can you say this to me? You told me that you loved me yesterday.”

“I want you to be happy. For me, your happiness comes first. I don’t care if you will love me or not.”

“Bullshit.” Selene sneered. “I’ve told you that Clint is not the right one for me. He loves someone else, and there’s Jennifer who’s been in love with him for a long time. I don’t know what he feels towards me. He’s hesitant about our relationship, as even when we were married, he refused to introduce me to his parents and friends.”

Hearing that, Austin kept silent for a while, then replied. “We’ve only known Clint and his company, SSGB, for a short period of time, so I don’t know him very well. But I know that he leads an honest and clean life.”

“If he were promiscuous, it’d be easy for him to forget about this and move on. But he’s not. I think he’s madly in love with me. But he’s the kind of man that women will fall in love with very easily. I don’t need this drama in my life, and I don’t want to end up being hurt.”

Austin sighed, then smiled. “If you’ll move past him, then I have nothing to worry about.” He joked.

Selene also laughed and patted him on the shoulder.

Austin had told Selene that he hadn’t been busy recently. However, that was not true. When he got back to work, he was indeed very busy. He started work very early in the morning and finished very late.

One Saturday morning, Selene made breakfast, went to Austin’s apartment, and knocked at the door. But nobody answered. She thought that Austin was most likely at work, but, after a while, the sound of footsteps could be heard from behind the door, then it suddenly opened.

“Selene…” A weak voice came from the pale-looking Austin.

Selene was taken aback. Austin leaned against the door and looked unwell.

“What’s wrong? Are you okay?” Selene asked, grabbing hold of his arm.

“I have a stomachache….”

“Let’s go see a doctor now. I’ll go with you.”

“I’ve taken some medicine. I don’t need to see a doctor.”

“Why are you in this state? Have you been skipping meals again because of your work? I know you’re busy, but you should take more care of your health. I brought you some porridge.”

Austin’s stomach was not in a good state. Even though he lived a healthy life, he often felt uncomfortable. His doctor told him that his stomach-related problems are most likely inherited, as his father also had stomach problems. In fact, his father died early on because he had left it untreated.

In the following days, Selene started cooking for him on a regular basis, bringing him food directly to his workplace at the company in order to make sure that he would stop skipping meals.
