Ice and Fire novel Chapter 677

"Mom, I was so very wrong. I was afraid you would not agree with my plans. Dad is easier to deal with and I can get money from Dad as he has never questioned me for anything. I was worried that you were going to quiz me too much." Austin also pretended as if his Mother had done something wrong. He was thinking that his Mother would ask him queries and so he would not tell her about the plan until everything had been figured out.

"Well, you don't have to explain to me anymore. Are you done with your operational plan?" asked Selina in a questioning tone.

"It will be final after we have our last discussion tonight. I'll send it to you once our meeting tonight is over," said Austin.

"Okay, send an email to me. I'll surely spare some time to check it," said Selina.

"Oh, Mom, I love you so much. I will definitely give you a big kiss once I am back home." Austin felt so grateful in his heart. His mother had always been his savior.

"Well, stop buttering me up with your sweet words," said Selina with a smile. "But Austin, take care of yourself and ask your partners also to take care of themselves. Starting a business is not an easy task and I hope you people understand that. Remember to eat on time and give adequate attention to your sleep patterns so that you guys do not get tired out."

"Understood, Mom. I am still having classes at school recently, so hopefully, my routine would not be disturbed. I will make sure that I get up and eat on time. But it is just impossible to sleep on time. I will have to adjust my time reasonably, but you don't worry," said Austin.

"Well, that sounds really good," Selina felt that she had said whatever she had wanted to. Now, her son might be fed up of talking to her. It would be better to say something nice. "Austin, I have a piece of good news to share with you."

"What is it, Mom?" Austin seemed a little surprised.

"Violet has a boyfriend now, a very handsome doctor," said Selina with a smile.

"Really, does Violet actually have a boyfriend? But, how could she do this? I haven't found a girlfriend yet," said Austin immediately.

"You, don't worry, I'll introduce a girl to you once you are back. Now focus on your studies," said Selina.

"No, it would be better if I do that myself. The ones you will introduce would be the rich and spoilt ladies, I can't bear their temper," Austin immediately refused his mother, saying,"However, I hope Violet is not just a good friend, right? She said that she would stay single for me. But now she has already fallen in love with some other guy."

"But, why should she stay single for you? What are you talking about, Austin?" asked Selina.

"I meant she should have been waiting for me to find a girlfriend too, or else I would be the only one who is left single and alone," Austin said.

"You are younger than Violet, and so you need not be so anxious," said Selina. She would definitely support her niece and not let her son bully his sister in any manner.

"Mom, you are always on her side, and so does Lawrence. None of you think about me, ever!" said Austin, acting as if he was hurt.

"Once you are back I will decide if I should support you or not," said Selina with a smile.

"Well, then I will have to fight hard first, Mom, tell Violet that I wish her all the happiness. If she wants to get married as soon as possible she can do so, but I might not be able to attend her wedding ceremony. Then I will give her wedding gift once I am back," said Austin.

"Tell her that yourself. And show some respect. She is your elder sister," Selina reprimanded her son harshly.

"Okay, Mom. Go to bed now, Dad must be waiting for you," said Austin.
