Chapter 6 Let's Have a Baby The atmosphere suddenly grew awkward . Dawn's gaze swept over the woman beside her . Sydney hadn't said anything , but there was a hint of amusement in her eyes as if she were enjoying the show . Dawn spoke softly , " It's nothing . " Cecelia asked if I had found an internship , and I told her I had ." Realizing the situation , Cecelia quickly tried to smooth things over . " Yeah , Dawn is about to graduate , after all . I was even thinking of inviting her to work at our company . " Austin's deep gaze lingered on Dawn's face for a second before he said in a low voice , " No , thanks . She'll be interning at a company under Osborne Group . " Only then did Sydney smile lightly and chime in , " I've heard Dawn performs very well in school . I'm sure she'll shine wherever she goes . Austin , you should listen to her opinion too ." Austin was used to handling things for Dawn , so he responded instinctively , " She has no social experience . How would she know what's good for her ? " Yeah , it had always been him to make the call . Dawn lowered her eyes and refuted , " I'm turning 21 soon . Why wouldn't I be able to tell what's good for me ? " A flicker of surprise crossed Austin's eyes before his expression turned cold . He immediately assumed she was deliberately opposing him . This girl's temper is getting worse . He wanted to question her , to ask what she was trying to prove , but considering they were at someone's newborn celebration , he held back . " It's best if you can . " His voice was icy . " Since you're here , behave yourself . You're leaving with me later . " With that , he took Sydney with him to the other side of the room without sparing Dawn another glance . After the past two days , Dawn had already grown accustomed to it . Fine . Ignore me all you want . 1/5 Chapter 6 Lets Have a baby I'm leaving anyway . At least I could enjoy some peace now . Gecelia , however , had witnessed everything and couldn't stand it . She pulled Dawn aside and comforted her , " I didn't expect him to be this strict . There's nothing likable about him . He's no different from some old - fashioned grandpa . Let's just ignore him . " Dawn nodded firmly . " I won't let him upset me anymore ." Thinking Dawn was in a bad mood , Cecelia decided not to introduce her to more people and instead took her for a stroll around the manor . Nestled between the mountains and rivers , the place was breathtakingly beautiful . Dawn felt a little guilty . " Cecelia , I think I'm holding you up . " " No way ! We came here to have fun , didn't we ? " Cecelia grinned and leaned in to whisper , " If Austin ever yells at you next time , just think of him as going through menopause . That's what happens when people get older . " Dawn considered it but decided against telling her that she was leaving . There wouldn't be a ' next time ' anymore . The gathering lasted until late into the night . Everyone cooed over Cecelia's baby , marveling at how adorable he was . Toward the end , when people were getting tipsy , the conversation turned to Austin and Sydney . " When are you two getting married ? You're at the right age - you should hurry up ! When the baby's born , we'll throw a grand celebration , and we'll all pitch in for a big gift ! " The lively doorway suddenly fell silent . Several people discreetly glanced at Dawn . There was sympathy in their eyes . Sydney acted as if she hadn't noticed anything . With a slightly shy smile , she said , " Of course ! We'll be sure to invite everyone . " The awkwardness eased a little . After a few more jokes , the guests finally dispersed . Dawn had no choice but to get into Austin's car . O 2/5 Chapter 6 Let's Have a Baby TU Sydney sat in the front passenger seat , adjusting the air conditioning and playing music as if she were right at home . She even turned around to offer Dawn a piece of gum . " Austin brought this back for me from Gredos . You can't find it anywhere else . Try it . " Dawn looked at her pretentious smile and replied expressionlessly , " No , thank you . " The moment she finished speaking , she caught Austin's disapproving look in the rearview mirror . She pretended not to see it and lowered her head to play with her phone . Sydney's smile faltered slightly before she turned back . Then , she unwrapped the gum and fed it directly to Austin . " Looks like Dawn doesn't like it . You have it . " Sydney and Austin continued chatting for the rest of the ride . They talked about who was getting married , which designer wedding dress they had chosen , and how they would have to plan carefully for their own future wedding . Austin responded to everything - perhaps even making sure Dawn could hear it . However , she wasn't listening at all . She was busy texting Ethan . " Peanut is so cute . All soft and chubby . His little face looks like a bun . " " Is he one month old today ? " Ethan asked . " Yeah , today was his newborn celebration . " A few seconds later , Ethan sent a voice message . Dawn hesitated , sensing it probably wasn't anything good . She tapped to convert it to text- " You like babies ? Then let's have a baby . " Dawn knew he was joking , but she still couldn't help but laugh - her intuition was spot on . A moment later , she noticed something felt off . She looked up at the rearview mirror and found Austin frowning at her . 3/5 Chapter 6 Let's Have a Baby From this angle , Sydney's face didn't look too pleased either . Dawn was baffled . I hadn't done anything , had 1 ? +5 Free Coins Just now , Sydney had been complaining about her apartment's property management being useless , about how they never fixed things when they actually needed to . She had gotten drenched earlier because of a broken water pipe . For heaven's sake , I wasn't laughing at that ! No one spoke again after that , but thankfully , they soon arrived at Sydney's home , putting an end to the suffocating atmosphere . Austin got out to open her door . " If anything like this happens again , call me . Don't try to handle it alone ," he said dotingly . Sydney sniffled . " I know , I just didn't want to trouble you . " " I'm your boyfriend . There's no such thing as too much trouble . " Dawn looked away , refusing to look at their little display of affection . A few minutes later , Austin returned to the car . He swept his dark gaze over Dawn as if suggesting that she'd be answering for her actions soon . The drive home was fast . Dawn remained calm as she got out of the car . Sure enough , the moment they stepped inside , Austin's face darkened , and he snapped , " Dawn , I've told you before - if you have a problem , take it up with me . What was that attitude just now ? " " What attitude ? " Dawn looked up at him . " I wasn't laughing at her ." " Then what were you laughing at ? " " I- " She obviously couldn't say she was laughing because Ethan joked about having a baby with her . If she did , with the way Austin was , he'd lecture her for three days straight . 4/5 21:56 Sun , Sep 14 d ...

" If you still don't get it , then let me make this clear once and for all . I am your uncle . I will never have any feelings for you beyond family ties . Never ."
