Mr. Billionaire Boundless Love

“Okay. When will you have time? Tonight?” Selene asked after hearing his words.

“Sure. No problem.”

“What would you like to eat?”

“I am bored with restaurant food. How about eating in your apartment? You could cook something for us, right?”

Selene kept silent.

“What’s up? You said that you would show me your appreciation.”

“And what would you like to eat?” Selene asked.

“Just something that you’re good at making.”

“Don’t blame me if you end up hating it.”

“I won’t.” Clint smiled slightly.

After they hung up, Selene stared at her phone screen and frowned. “Did I just talk with him? Why does this feel so weird?”

In the meantime, Clint was also staring at his phone, smiling softly.

A few moments later, Clint’s secretary called him. “Mr. Denovan. Jennifer Keller is here to see you.”

“Let her in.” Clint frowned.

“My dear, why do you make a clarification statement for Selene Morris?” Jennifer rushed in and angrily asked.

“Jenni. If you need to meet me urgently, please call first. This is where I work. It’s inappropriate for you to come here for private matters.” Clint frowned deeply.

“Whenever I call you to make an appointment, you refuse me, saying you’re too busy. This is the only way I can get to meet you. It won’t take long. I just want to talk.”

“Okay,” Clint relented. ”Please go ahead.”

“Why did you give out that statement for her?”

“It had to do with me, and it was all fake, so it was warranted. Even though we’re divorced, we used to be together. This was the least I could do when she was being humiliated by the public for a fake rumor.” Clint explained expressionlessly.

“Did she ask you for help?” Jennifer asked.

“Jenni. You and Selene were classmates before. Surely you know her well enough. Do you really think she’d ask anyone for help?” Clint smiled.

Hearing this, Jennifer’s face flushed red with anger once again. “Darling. What they say online is true. That woman is truly vengeful, and she even admitted to me that she slept with you only to get back at her ex, a guy who works for you.”

“This is between her and me. If that was all you came here to talk about, then please excuse me. I’m very busy. I’ll ask you and your brother out for dinner sometime soon.”

Clint then lowered his voice. “Jenni. I know you and Selene hate each other, but you had better not pull tricks on her. She’s not the kind of girl to forgive and forget.”

“Do you think I’ll let her beat me?”

“I know you won’t. But don’t be so childish. Think twice before you do something like this. It’s not good for you or her. Please stop.”

Jennifer could feel his indifference towards her. It was obvious that Selene was more important to him. She snorted, then left reluctantly.

Meanwhile, Selene left her store earlier than normal to buy food for dinner that night. She carefully picked out food ingredients in the supermarket.

She was not crazy about cooking. But when she was young and her father was busy working, she had to do the cooking all by herself. So, she was not bad at making food.

However, during the months in which Selene and Clint lived together, they seldom ate together, which left her little chance to cook.

It was later that day, while she was preparing the meal, that the bell rang.

She put down what she was holding and then rushed to open the door. Clint was standing there, holding a bunch of lilies in his hand.

“These are for you,” Clint said, giving her the flowers.

Selene smelled the flowers and smiled. “Thank you.”

It was very strange that the two got along so well with each other, unlike before.

“Please sit. The dinner will be ready soon.” Selene found a vase and put a bunch of flowers in it.

Clint walked over to the sofa and sat down.

When Selene brought plates and cutlery from the kitchen, she saw Clint standing, staring at a painting that was hanging on the wall.

“What’s wrong? Do you want to buy it from me?”

“Sorry about the last time at the auction. I just got angry. That’s why I bid so high.”

Clint was very straightforward.

“That’s all right. I’m not as rich as you, but I didn’t have any trouble paying for this painting.”

“Is the place in the picture your hometown?” Clint asked.

“Yes. The town looked just like that when I was young. But now, the bridge is different.”

“How was your childhood?” Clint asked as he came over to help set the table.

“I’m from a small town in Houston called Cloudy Town. Do you think I grew up poor while there?” She asked, then continued. “Then you’re wrong. Although we didn’t have as much money as you, we were quite well off. My family ran a factory.”

“You were born with a silver spoon; no wonder you didn’t want the property I wanted to give you.”

“If that really were the case, I wouldn’t limit myself to only running a small store. I didn’t accept alimony because you did nothing wrong during our marriage. Besides, I don’t need your money. I make enough.”

“You’re an amazing woman. Everything you have, you’ve earned through hard work.” Clint paused and pretended to be nonchalant about the conversation. “You told me that you were raised by your father after your mom left you at an early age. Do you miss her?”

“When I was young, I missed her very much. But now, I can hardly even remember what she looked like. I only hope that I’ll never meet her in the future.” She said,

“Nowadays, most people make their living by themselves,” Selene said, changing the topic. ”I’m only doing the same. What about you? Everyone says you’re very rich. Why did you choose to start up a business here and work as hard as you do?”

“I want to prove myself. As for working hard, it’s just out of habit. When I was young, I studied very hard, and now I work very hard. Do you think I’m boring?”
