Chapter 2348
"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?
They had agreed to go to Cecilla's house for dinner tonight, but something came up instead.
Carson and Kenneth used to live together in the same dorm, and he knew most of his friends and family.
Naturally, he had Cecilia's number as well.
He wanted to watch over that little girl as she grew up.
Everyone was speechless.
Austin looked at Carson in disbelief. His friend liked underaged girls!
He asked, "Do you have any photos?"
Carson answered with an eyebrow raised. "Even if I did, I wouldn't show it to you."
"Whatever, our types are different anyway."
Nathaniel then suggested, "Why don't we change the location. I've been deeply hurt by this piece of news tonight. Someone as boring as Carson had managed to find a girl he likes before all of us?" Upon hearing this, Carson turned to him and retorted, "Do you think you're better than me? You change girls like you change clothes, why can't I be loyal to me one and only?" Austin noticed that the atmosphere was a little tense and said with a smile, "Hey, enough, we're all friends and we were just joking around. Let's change the place, shall we?" Austin also wanted to shout loudly and release his stress.
Carson replied, "I didn't take offense like you guys would. The girl I like has the most beautiful smile, all of you will be envious of me forever."
The few of them smiled at each other. They would not really fight over something like this, and they had joked about things that were much worse.
Kenneth shook his head and said, "I'm very tired. I'm going home to rest. You guys go ahead. Remember to investigate what I've told you."
Austin saw that he was really tired, so he didn't force him too. "Okay, go home and rest. I will pay attention to the matters over at X.L., you don't have to worry. Have a good rest. I'll tell you the details after I check on it."
Kenneth nodded and told them to have a good time. Then, he left the club with Luke.
After getting in the car, Luke asked, "Mr. Kenneth, are you going home now?"
Kenneth nodded slightly. "Yeah, let's go back."
Luke drove, and Kenneth sat in the back seat with his eyes closed to rest.
The moment he closed her eyes, he could see the smile on Raelynn's face.
He suddenly opened his eyes and looked out of the window at the stream of cars passing them by. He wasn't someone who was really into relationships. It was not that he did not like girls, he just hadn't met any girls who had ever caught his interest.
"Luke, do a background check on Miss Edwards tomorrow."
Luke was stunned. He was very curious as to why the President wanted to investigate Raelynn.
"Sure, Mr. Kenneth!"
Only then did Kenneth begin to feel better.
The weekend quickly passed. On Sunday night, Raelynn called Faith and asked for leave in the afternoon.
At 8:40 a.m., she went to the real estate office on time to meet her brother, and then they went to handle the transfer process together.
Because they had paid the full amount, things went smoothly. After two hours, everything was done and when Raelynn received the key, she was so ecstatic that she almost cried.
"Raelynn! From now on, this is our new home!" Ryder's eyes were also red.
Ever since he was in middle school, he had dreamed of having his own home. As long as it belonged to them, he would be very happy.
Raelynn's eyes were also red. She looked at Ryder and smiled happily. "Ryder, this will be our home in the future. We will pick up Mom later. Today, you and Mom will clean it up. Tomorrow, we will slowly start moving things. In the future, our family of three will live here. We will definitely be very happy."
"Raelynn! Thank you!" Ryder was very touched. He was really happy to have an elder sister, but he was still the pillar of the family. In the future, he must make more money and provide his family with a better
life.
