"Pfft...!" Carson couldn't help but burst out laughing.
He looked at Austin and teased, "Why haven't I heard of you having a girlfriend?"
Austin's expression was filled with pain as he answered, "You were always staying in the research lab. If I didn't go looking for you, you would've probably been dead after ten days. You d*mned introvert, you're probably gonna stay single for a long time."
Huo Jingyu said, "Hehe... You don't have to worry about that. I already have someone I like. I'm waiting for her to grow up."
Austin was shocked. "What?!"
Carson's expression fell. "What? I'm only ten years older."
After he said that, he felt slightly guilty as he turned to steal a glance at Kenneth carefully.
Kenneth frowned, he was in shock as well. "Carson, you're serious?"
"Yes!" He nodded. There was a touch of tenderness on his expression now, and he appeared to be more gentle.
Nathaniel and Austin turned to Kenneth at the same time.
Nathaniel asked, "Seven, who do you think it is?"
Kenneth answered in a low voice, "It's my uncle's daughter."
"Ah..." Nathaniel felt envious.
"Hey, Seven, how many daughters does your uncle have?" Austin asked.
Kenneth nodded. "There are quite a few, but they're all underaged!"
Nathaniel and Austin both fell speechless.
It was too frustrating!
Austin was unwilling to give up. "What about the little girl that Lucian likes?"
Kenneth replied, "She'll turn eighteen next year."
Austin choked on his drink as he stole a glance at Carson. He really was going for someone younger than him.
Her parents might not agree.
Therefore, he was instantly not envious of him anymore.
Whether or not he could win her over still depended on Carson himself. He was a man of few words, and nowadays, girls dislike that.
Moreover, he was such a boring man.
With this thought in mind, Austin instantly stopped being jealous.
Nathaniel tilted his head to look at Carson and asked with a smile, "Why didn't I know about your strange little interest before? She must be very pretty for someone as superficial as you to like her. Otherwise, you would not have said that."
Carson's eyes were shining as he answered, "Nathaniel, have you ever seen the sun in the early mornings in March? Isn't it very beautiful?"
Nathaniel thought about it and realized that no, he did not take note of that before.
Carson didn't really care. He only knew that every time she video calls with Kenneth, she gave him this feeling of basking in the warm sunlight.
However, the next moment, he was given a rude awakening.
"Carson, stop daydreaming. Uncle Lucian dotes on his two daughters the most, especially Cecilia. He did not even care about the company's rules and brought her baby powder to work when she was still a baby. Now that she's grown up to be a beautiful girl, he is even more protective of her."
"Really? Before I came, we were on a call. She's off to a piano lesson now, I'll be fetching her home later," Carson replied.
Kenneth fell speechless.
Was Carson not afraid that his legs would be cut off?
