Chapter 8 - Leaving Home

Austin has a particular affection for Uncle White and asks how he should address him, and he asks Lionel what to watch out for when doing therapy.

Uncle White smiled and answered one by one. Even though this was only the second time they had met, the man already had a big crush on Austin.

He was polite and kind, and it could be seen that Austin was very patient with his young master.

The two rested and practiced for a bit. Before they knew it, Flora's piano practice time was over, and Mr. Lucas had also come home.

Seeing Mr. Lucas forced himself to eat at the Wilsons' house while giving a sincere smile, Austin felt a little awkward.

Thinking of the situation he was in now and the people of the Wilson family, if Austin became enthusiastic, they might feel that he was in a position to be impatient to marry a phoenix.

Austin had died once, but he still cared about the judgment of others.

"No problem. Austin, they rarely come home for dinner." said Lionel.

"Yeah, even if you just accompany an old man like me to kill boredom," said Mr. Lucas, trying to convince him.

Hearing Lionel and Mister Lucas say that and seeing Flora's hopeful expression, Austin finally had to nod.

At dinner, as they say, only four people were at the table.

He did not know if it was because he had accompanied him in the afternoon. Lionel seemed to take good care of him during dinner.

Besides chatting with him and putting some menus on Austin's plate, Lionel also asked what kind of food Austin likes.

Austin was rarely cared for like this, and he could not help but be touched for a while.

After dinner, Lionel walked him to the door as usual. Knowing that Austin would start work again tomorrow, Lionel showed a slightly regretful expression and said, "Call me when you are free."

"Okay." Austin replied with a smile.

"Lionel, I think Young Master Austin is very good."

After hearing what Uncle White said, Lionel's mouth lifted slightly, and he said, "I think so too."

After returning home from the Wilsons' house, Austin sat in a cafe until late at night before heading home.

He does not like foreign objects, and the only thing of value is the emerald necklace his mother left him.

The quality of the stone is excellent. At first, everyone in the Jones family did not know the existence of this necklace. Then, as Austin grew up, this necklace was handed to him by a good friend of his mother's.

Austin's mother may have known that she would die young. When the aunt handed this necklace to him, the woman said it was a gift from his mother for her future daughter-in-law.

It is a shame that Austin was born gay. Austin stood in the room holding the box with the necklace for a long time, before starting to pack his things.

All he could pack was some clothes and necessary documents. In less than an hour, Austin came out with a small bag and a large bag on his back.

Marcel's house is near the school. The house was not significant, with two bedrooms and a living room, but Austin really liked the style of the home's decor.

Cozy and warm, just looking at it for the first time. You can also imagine the scene when their family used to live here.

Seeing Austin outside the door, Marcel, who had fallen asleep and woken up, looked displeased and said, "Are you stupid? Why don't you come early?"

It was two o'clock, and Austin continued to be careful. With thick eyebrows and big eyes, Marcel, who was always straightforward, glared at him and said, "Go to the guest room to sleep." Turning around and walking a few steps, he stopped again. While grabbing his hair, he said, "Damn it! I have to get up early tomorrow."

After complaining, he quickly ran into the room and closed the door.

What Marcel called a guest room was the room next to his. The area of ​​the room was tiny. Beds, tables, and wardrobes almost fill the room.

The room's color is primarily green and blue, which looks warm.

Marcel was more considerate than he showed. After taking a shower and lying on the bed, Austin realized that the texture of the sheet was relatively stiff, but there was a slight smell of detergent in it.

"He must have bought new sheets and washed them again." Austin said with a sincere smile.

Nearly half a month after the start of school is one of the busiest days for teachers, with lots of meetings, lesson preparations, and heartfelt greetings from various celebrities whose children attend school there.

On the third day after leaving the house, Austin received a call from Ryan. It was only that day that he realized that Austin had moved on.

Ryan suppressed the anger in his tone on the phone, and when Austin said that school was busy and it was more convenient for him to stay at Marcel's place, he answered and reluctantly accepted his explanation.

"How are you and Lionel?"

"Being in a good relationship, it feels good."

Ryan was initially uneasy, but after hearing what Austin had to say, he quickly got a little excited and said, "Lionel is in good condition. You should take good care of him."

Austin sneered secretly, used the excuse of going to do something, and quickly hung up the phone.

Not long after, he received another call from Alta.

It must have been Ryan and Emma who were so pleased that they revealed the information in front of Alta. Hearing Alta on the other end of the phone angrily asking if he had fallen in love with Lionel, Austin just asked in a cold tone, "What about you? Have you talked to them yet?"

"You!"

Everyone in the Joneses can step on Austin's head at will. Austin remembered that when he was a child because he was stupid, he had fought with Alta for toys several times, but unfortunately he would be severely punished by Ryan every time.

Entering the warehouse for one to two hours, Austin is not allowed to eat dinner. Gradually, in such an environment, it formed selfishness for Alta to emerge to the bone. Everything he wants must be accomplished.

This may be the result of Ryan's unintentional actions, but if one day he and Alta are in danger at the same time, then Ryan will save Alta first.

Because in his heart, Alta is his only son.

After thinking about it this way, Austin sent another email to the detective agency named Brown and Martin, asking if they wanted to take another business from him.

The detective agency quickly responded by saying, "Yes." Moreover, tell the price at the end of the message.

Seeing the reply, Austin could not help but smile wryly.
