He immediately inserted the pen in the pocket of his coat, feeling happy. "I loved it!"
"We are glad sweetheart! Also, congratulations on winning the case as usual!" His mom spoke up, looking proudly at her son.
Austin's father sighed looking at the two. "But son! Be careful. Everything has a limit. You need to mend your ways now! Don't make yourself do unfair things!"
"Ahhh!! Com'mon sweetheart! He is a lawyer! Do you expect him to lead an honest life, begging for money? Who doesn't lie these days? Tell me! We are living in a practical world, and we have to follow the trend!" Austin's mother spoke up in defence of her son, making the boy happy.
"Ahh! I am so glad mother, you understand me so well. Dad! Don't worry, I will not let anybody harm me. I am a strong and a capable man." Austin held his father's arm, coaxing him.
"Ok son! I do not want to be an interfering father. Just think before doing anything. Ok! Your clients are humans too but so are other people against whom you are fighting! They may be correct too at times!"
"Yes dad!" Austin smirked, looking at his mom.
This was always the topic of discussion when the three met. His dad explained him the importance of living a fair life and his mom always defended him from his dad's lecture. They all sat for a while in the living room talking about random stuff.
"So what are your plans for today?" His mother asked him.
"Ahh! Smith is coming over. I asked Will too, but he refused!"
"Oh! Dear son! He is just an old driver. Stop giving him so much importance. Also, his daughter. Why do you care about her so much!" His mother rebuked him im disgust.
"But dear, Will has been us from past 36 years. He is like part of the family. I quite like him too!" His father spoke up immediately.
"Hmm! I agree with dad this time. Milly is my sister and Will is like my best buddy. This will never change!" Austin spoke in a determined voice.
