Chapter 172 Persuasion

Although Austin was a little embarrassed, he didn't have any other thoughts about this matter. He just
felt a little impatient.

But he knew what he should do, so he wouldn't do anything casually.

"In fact, I don't think it's necessary to be so clear about something. Otherwise there will be
misunderstanding between each other. You'd better be open-minded than this."

Darren thought he had made a right decision and hoped that there would be no misunderstanding
between them.

"In fact, I don't think you two need to think more about this kind of thing. Moreover, I didn't have any
other intentions before. If you two screw it up like this, I always feel that it's a little strange. Most
importantly, this idea is too bizarre. Although I indeed mentioned it, you don't have to do so. Don't
hesitate and just forget what you should forget. Otherwise, you will think that you have some
misunderstand. "

Darren just hoped that Austin could see through everything.

Austin could not see through such a thing at all, so he did not think about it at all. Therefore, he could
not help smiling faintly.

"Actually, I don't have much opinion on this kind of thing, and I won't say anything about it either. So
sometimes it's better to be careful about each other. If too stubborn, it will only make our relationship a
little difficult."

"Don't you think you should think it over carefully?"

Darren was rendered speechless. He only wanted him to think it through.



What's more, it was not as mess as the things up in the past.

At this moment, Linda was pressing the doorbell.

Standing up from the sofa, Joan walked to the door and opened it. "I thought you weren't going to come
back. I didn't expect you to come back so soon."

Linda curled her lips with discontent. "I didn't expect that. What's more, it's totally wrong for you to say
that. And I have never thought about that!"

"I didn't mean anything else. Please don't take it seriously," Joan said as she covered her mouth with
her hand.

Linda had a better understanding of this, so she said with a smile, "Actually, I don't have a big idea
about this. I just hope that you don't mess around. What's more, you just make such a big crime for me
and I really can't bear!"

"Mr. Darren, is there anyone else besides me?" Austin asked when he heard other woman saying
outside.

Then Darren put the food in the pot and said, "There are no other women, just that girl? Besides, I think
she really likes you. Why don't you accept her? After all, it's not easy to meet a right person. "

"Mr. Darren, I don't know the reason about this kind of thing, but I know I don't have feelings on her
now, and I don't think so. You don't have to worry about it."

Austin had a little bit of feelings on this girl, but that didn't mean that he had to accept her. Moreover, he
was not a casual man.

Linda had only made a joke with Joan, so she had intended to go to the kitchen to help with the dinner.
However, when she heard what he said, a dash of disappointment flashed through her eyes, but mixed



with more sadness.

She originally thought that her heart would soon be confirmed, but she did not expect that everything
was beyond her expectations. It turned out that the person she liked looked at her in this way.

Thinking of this, she was very unhappy. But the problem was that she would not do such thing casually.

She pretended to care nothing about it, but she still couldn't help crying.

Joan had never seen her best friend's tears like this before. She frowned and patted her on the
shoulder. "Linda, don't take his words seriously. Sometimes, you just have to give Austin some time to
think. What's more, maybe he will accept us as long as we try harder."

Afraid that she would be disgraced, Linda grabbed Joan's hand and they sat down on the sofa.

Seeing her in tears, Joan wiped her tears away with a handkerchief. "Silly girl, stop crying. Don't cry
anymore. You can't understand such kind of thing clearly. Besides, some things need to be controlled
by efforts, not by God. Can't we tell him? Or maybe one day he will figure it out that he has to marry
you. "

Everything was out of Joan's expectation. She had thought that Austin liked Linda, but it turned out that
she was wrong.

Linda always felt that she was rejected this time. But sometimes, she felt that if she confessed her love
to him, he might not turn her down.

However, she hesitated a little now. After all, if she continued to do so, she felt that she would be in
trouble. But what was more important was that many things were not as simple as what she thought, so
she naturally felt that she didn't know what to do?



"Well, don't hesitate any more. You have to fight for something on your own. I don't know what to do if
you continue to act like this. What's more, you can't judge on the surface of something, and if you only
take it as the surface, it means that you lose."

Joan wanted to give her an encouragement. After all, she thought that Austin was a good young man
and it was a good choice to them. She just hoped that they would cherish each other, not the opposite
way.

Joan's encouragement made Linda nod in agreement. "I wasn't sure at the beginning, but after what
you said just now, I think I should fight for everything by myself. Otherwise, I don't know how to deal
with the relationship between me and him, and I don't want to give up."

Austin intended to take something out, but stopped at the spot when he heard these words. He couldn't
help but frown. Although he didn't quite understand what happened, he didn't want it to happen.
Because he felt that he was unable to protect the person he loved. If he continued that, he would end
up with getting hurt most.

It was because of this kind of mistake that he lost the woman he loved most.

When he thought of the brutal things that monitor had done, he became very angry.

But he couldn't do anything about it. It already had happened. Even if he regretted a million times, that
kind of thing would never change. So after hearing this confession, he didn't feel happy at the
beginning. Instead, he felt more and more worried.

In order not to break the embarrassment, he quickly went back to the kitchen to continue to help, in
case he said too much.

Darren frowned, "I thought you were going out? Why do you come in all of a sudden? Have you found
anything that you shouldn't have noticed? "



"No, I didn't. I wanted to go out and check the time. I have my phone in my pocket, so I don't need go
out. I can just check my phone."

Although being a little embarrassed, Austin still tried to pretend to be calm.

Darren felt helpless. He didn't know what he had heard just now. Anyway, the matter shouldn't be like
this. Since he didn't want to say, then he shouldn't ask him.

"Why do you have to check the time? Do you have other plans today? "

In fact, he didn't have much work to deal with in the company. The only thing Darren need him to do
was to look for Poppy.

Moreover, the case about Poppy was over. After all, he was not the master she had chosen.

"In fact, I'm too embarrassed to tell you anything about that," Austin said with a smile, scratching his
head shyly.

Actually, Austin just pretended that he didn't want to hear the confession from Linda. More importantly,
he didn't want to face this at all.

So he wanted to make up an excuse and went away secretly.

"I'm so curious. But if you don't want to tell me, I won't force you. Otherwise, you'll think that I, your
boss, would bully you."

Darren knew everything about Austin, but he didn't know the matter which made him feel embarrassed!

All these years, he had never seen him feel embarrassed.

So even though he was curious about it, he could not force him to speak out.



Hearing this, Austin could not help but breathe a sigh of relief. "This is my own secret. Mr. Darren
please keep it a secret!"

"I really don't know what is it that needs me to keep secret, not to mention that you didn't tell me about
that so-called thing. Why do I feel like you are trying to trick me?" Darren frowned slightly.

The corners of Austin's mouth twitched slightly. "In fact, I didn't do anything wrong. Moreover, even if I
did something wrong, I wouldn't bring you to the pit."
