"Good."
When they entered the living room, the mood of the two of them changed to different levels. Uncle White felt that every decision the older man made was sage and robust. As for Lionel, he thought that if Austin could keep doing this, he would be nice to him in the future.
When Austin got home, Ryan was waiting in the living room as expected.
"How?"
"I will try to communicate with him."
Austin's smile looked a little devilish, but at this moment, Ryan had been carried away by happiness, and even after saying a few kind words, "I know you can do it!"
Austin stared at his blankly, then turned around to head upstairs.
"Succeed?"
Seeing Emma walking in her pajamas, Ryan excitedly pulled her to his side and said, "Of course, I'm his father! Won't he listen to what I say?"
Ryan's tone was arrogant, but Emma seemed a little disapproving.
In her heart, homosexuality was abhorrent, and Austin was an example of a good-for-nothing child. However, she could not help feeling excited when he thought of the benefits they could reap after the child married into the Wilson family.
"Mr. Lucas is really going to inject capital into our plastic factory?"
"He let Austin marry because Austin has a good life and can save Lionel! If he doesn't keep his promise, I will let Austin go home immediately!"
"Is he so superstitious?"
"Dunno, maybe old and confused." he said.
"Father, Mother, what are you two talking about? What family? Also, whom is my older brother going to marry?" said Alta, who had just come.
Alta, who had come back from an outing, had been standing in the living room for a long time, and he could hear the conversation between his parents, but he could not believe it.
Lionel was his. How could trash like Austin be worthy of that gentleman?
Seeing that Alta's face was pale and his hands were tightly clenched into fists, Ryan and Emma looked at each other in confusion.
While marrying Austin into the Wilson family could bring them many benefits, their behavior was no different from selling a son.
They did not care what outsiders thought, but they did not want to destroy their impression in their son's heart.
"Alta."
Seeing Ryan's embarrassed expression, Alta looked at him coldly and said, "Do you want my brother to marry Lionel?"
"Your brother likes men, and Lionel is doing well. We're doing this–for his own good."
"Bullshit! You guys only want to benefit from the Wilson family!" Althea is angry.
After saying this, Alta rushed upstairs, leaving the embarrassed Ryan and Emma behind. After a while, Ryan took Emma's hand and said, "Alta is too innocent and kind."
"Yeah, always thinking about his brother," Emma replied, a little annoyed inside.
As soon as Austin came out of the bathroom, he heard a loud knock on his bedroom door, and when he heard Alta's voice outside the door, the expression on his face couldn't help turning colder.
Just now, he received the investigation results from the detective agency.
Ryan and Emma were classmates in college. After Ryan married and set up a plastics factory with Austin's mother, Emma saw Ryan again.
Nothing in this world can hide for long, and with another worry, Austin's mother suffered from mild postpartum depression shortly after giving birth to him.
What happened after that was the same as what Aunt Hana had said.
Under the name given by Aunt Hana, the detective agency had found her cousin, and then through the woman, the detective agency found more people who used to be servants in the Joneses.
Several people said the same thing, so Austin can be sure that Emma is joining Ryan to drive his mother crazy.
In that case, how could he be so good before?
"What is it?"
Austin's facial expression was frigid, thinking he might as well go against his parent's decision. Alta felt relieved.
"Brother, our parents asked you to marry Lionel?"
The Alta in front of him showed apparent worry in his expression.
If Austin did not know Alta's true thoughts, Austin felt that he might have misunderstood what the man meant again and said, "Yeah."
"They went too far! Brother, you can't marry Lionel."
"Why?" he asked innocently.
"You and Lionel don't really love each other. They just do that to get a little benefit from the Wilson family." After a pause, Alta said, "Big Brother, I can't bear to see you being abused, from childhood to growing up."
"The best person in my family is you."
Alta, who lowered his head, looked very sad. Austin stared at him blankly. He only felt that this man had excellent acting skills and that it was a pity not to be an actor.
"What do you want me to do?"
"Get out of here! Find someone who loves you and spend your life with him."
Alta also said this to Austin in his previous life. At that time, inside Austin's heart, Alta was innocent and kind and was the person who cared for him the most besides Aunt Hana.
Not that his real character was like that, but he was very good at disguise and acting.
Just like the words he spoke at this time, with the hint of innocence of a teenager, he did not hide the anger in his heart. Moreover, he is the only person in the family willing to tell Austin the truth.
So at the time, it was not surprising that Austin thought Alta was thinking about it.
He did not know what kind of character Alta would have in front of others.
"You want me to give up everything here?"
Seeing Austin looking at him with a half smile but not smiling, Alta was a little uneasy, but at this moment, all his thoughts were about Austin being unable to marry Lionel.
If Austin married someone else who had power and could benefit their family simultaneously, he would be happy to see that happen. However, now Lionel is involved in this matter.
That is the secret Alta keeps deep in his heart, a handsome man that only he can respect.
"Older brother."
The black fog around Alta still has not dissipated. Austin realized that he wanted to come over and hold his hand. Austin avoided it with disdain and said, "I cannot decide this matter." After speaking, he glanced outside the door and said.
"You should ask them."
Since Austin's rebirth, he never again called Ryan and Emma his parents. Fortunately, Alta was smart enough to immediately understand the meaning of his words.
"Don't worry, Big Brother, as long as you don't like Lionel, I will definitely negotiate with the parents for you!"
The true meaning of this sentence was easy to understand from the start, but he did not realize it. Then Austin locked the door and then called Marcel.
