Chapter 1012 Her Achievement (2/2)

When Brian learns the truth, there is no chance for Hannah to win his heart.

Molly, who wants to run away from Brian, seems to be the only one to blame for Hannah's misfortune...

ustin said, as he thought this explanation reasonable. Now that Aria was so successful, he doubted whether his parents would come back soon.

”When will she be back, I wonder?” Austin was asking Lawrence, but he was more musing out loud. He thought that his parents might return from overseas together with Aria.

”Next month,” Lawrence replied. After a pause, he added, ”But your parents are due the day after tomorrow.”

”What? The day after tomorrow?” His eyes almost popped out of his head. This was sudden. Recently he'd been living at home, and his grandparents were on a trip. His house was a mess. Caught unprepared, he didn't know what to do.

”What's wrong? There a problem?” Lawrence noticed Austin was a little flustered.

”No... Nothing. I just didn't expect them to be back so soon,” Austin replied, looking rattled. He then muttered, ”I gotta call the cleaning company to deal with the house.”

”Did you sneak a woman into the house?” Lawrence was amused. Even though Austin had spoken in a low voice, Lawrence heard everything.

”No, of course not,” Austin replied. ”You know me, Lawrence. I only flirt at the bar. I never bring them home.”

”Why do you need to get your house cleaned?” Lawrence asked, looking puzzled.

”It's a total disaster area. If I don't clean it, I'm sure they'll boot me out,” Austin answered.

”If they do, you can live with me. I won't leave you homeless,” Lawrence went through more files.

But Austin ignored his kind offer. Cheekily, he said to his cousin, ”You can let me run all the hotels in J City and let Tim take my place. I am sure he'll do a good job. What do you think?”

”That's not funny,” Lawrence replied calmly.

Austin understood why Lawrence turned him down. 'He's smart. How would he agree to let me take over the hotels? But it doesn't matter. When Dad and Mom come back, I will be a good son and spend more time with them just like Lawrence does, ' he mused. 'They'll see a new me.'

”You know what? Never mind. I need to finish up some work. Bye Lawrence!” Austin said as he walked towards the door.
