The middle-aged woman nodded. "Indeed. He ruined our plan, and killing him is the right thing to do. I didn't expect Fifth Elder to fail in doing so!""Let me go this time," said a bald man. Standing at a height of six feet, his arms looked like dragons because of his bulging arm muscles and he had a rather gruff voice as he spoke."Since you're a level seven grandmaster, I believe that you won't face too big of a problem if you went, Fourth Elder!" Tharran looked at the bald man and felt that he was a good candidate indeed. After some more thought, he said to the bald man, "However, I think it's better for you to bring a few grandmaster-level protectors with you as well!"The bald man nodded. "Sure. There's strength in numbers, and our opponent will have to divide his attention when fighting. This will be a big advantage for us! I'll choose five of our guardians to join me, and I, Janvar Runge, will be the one to decapitate Severin's head!""It's settled then. The expenses you inc
"I'm sorry, honey. A big chunk of the responsibility falls on me for what happened that night, because I slept with you knowing that I might be apprehended the next day after smashing the bottle over Easton's head. I didn't think you'd pregnant after that, and I never thought that it'd bring you so much pain and suffering!" Severin held Diane's hand, and said sincerely, "Don't worry. I'll try my best to make it up to you!"Diane smiled and said, "I still hated you when you were released, but everything that happened in the past few days has shown me that you're a good person, while Lucy and Easton are anything but. Perhaps this is what they call fate."Severin digested her words and asked again, "Do you still blame me now?"Diane shook her head. "I don't blame you anymore, because you've proven yourself as a good father and a good husband. I can see that you're a capable and responsible man instead of a useless good-for-nothing. I'm very satisfied with that!" After saying that, Dian
"Alright, it's getting late. We should go to sleep!" Diane lowered her head shyly and added as an afterthought, "I'm beginning to like you more and more now, and you have no idea how scared I was when I saw those assassins attacking you today. I was afraid something would happen to you, and that I'd lose you!"Severin felt even happier to hear that and could not help but take the opportunity to say to Diane, "How about I stay by your side tonight, then?"Diane immediately rolled her eyes at Severin. "What's on your mind, huh? Do you want to get it on with me after knowing that I like you?""No, it's not like that at all! Why would I have such lewd ideas? I'm not a pervert!" Severin said embarrassingly. "Hmph, all men are liars. How am I to know if you're a pervert or not?" Diane snorted coldly and withdrew her hand.Seeing as there was no chance for him that night, Severin stood up in disappointment and walked toward the door. "It looks like I'll have to sleep alone in an empty r
Severin knew that it would be unwise to rush things, especially since he was dealing with a cold and generally reserved woman like Diane.Before long, the two of them were lying on the bed, and Diane felt so nervous that she deliberately turned to sleep on her side so her back was facing Severin.When Severin saw her movement, he could not help but say, "Honey, can I hug you from behind while we sleep?""Okay," Diane replied softly, but she became increasingly nervous deep down.Soon, Severin's hand stretched out from behind to hug her waist. His firm chest was placed against her back, and her heart beat a lot faster than before. All sorts of wild thoughts began racing through her mind. The two of them spooned each other to sleep and soon drifted into a slumber.…The next morning, Selene went to Diane's room after freshening up, opened the door, and went in."Whoa! Dad's sleeping with Mom too! Ehehe!" She could not help but cover her mouth and giggle when she noticed the way he
By the time Severin changed his clothes and went downstairs, Selene had already eaten and was playing in the yard. Judith and Maurice had heard Selene shouting earlier, so they both exchanged glances and had a knowing smile when they saw Severin come down.Maurice said to Severin, "I've passed my first course of driving class, and I'm starting the second course tomorrow. I heard that automatic transmission is easier, so I enrolled in the automatic transmission class. Once I've passed, I can drive the Chevy out and bring your mother out on a road trip!""Sure! Good luck, Dad. Road trips are pretty tiring though, but I hope you get to enjoy your time with Mom once you've mastered how to drive!" Severin couldn't help but smile after hearing this.Judith then said happily, "The medical prescription you gave me works. Look! Can you see my white hair slowly starting to turn black from the roots?"Severin smiled and said, "That's great news! I'll list down the herbs for you again. Just so
Severin did not bother answering Stanley's question and said with a faint smile, "I didn't think you'd be up so early just to come here and help me with carrying my medical box.""I have to. I'm a proactive person, and I prefer to arrive early instead of letting others wait for me," Stanley said while patting his chest."Oh, alright then. I'll go in and get the medical box!" Severin smiled, then pretended to walk back.When he entered the house, he had a sly smile on his lips as he took out a small metal box from his storage ring. Then, he took out another seemingly small black iron piece and placed it in before covering it with some herbs.The black iron piece was very heavy despite its small size, and when the entire medicine box was lifted, the total weight was about 40 or 50 pounds. Severin grinned because he did not need to use any effort to carry such a huge box. However, it would be far too heavy for someone like Stanley.He casually walked out with the metal box and handed
"Hehe, she was the one who initiated the chat!" Stanley answered. Although he was angry, his face looked cheerful.'The Zelankos only have one daughter and I'm sure they are reluctant to have someone marry their daughter. It's nice if I could be their live-in son-in-law. Their money would be my money in the future!' he thought.If he could be the Zelankos' live-in son-in-law, even his grandmother would see him differently and want to please him. When that happened, he was going to have a higher status. Diane would not be able to compete with him. He probably could spare some benefits to Diane seeing how pitiful she was. It thrilled him just to think about his future.Severin frowned upon hearing that answer. "Seriously? She was the one who initiated the chatting?"Stanley smiled. "Yeah. She asked who I am and how I got her number!"Severin was speechless. How could Stanley understand that as Robin initiated a chat with him? Any normal person would ask those questions when someone
Stanley asked that question with a sad face when Severin parked the car outside."Yes, you have to carry it in. Those bodyguards do not know us. Do you think they will just let us in?" Severin said seriously while he was actually very happy with it."Hurry up. Act like an assistant if you want to be my assistant. By the way, don't look like you are having a hard time when you are carrying the medical box. Otherwise, Miss Robin might think you have a weak body and have a bad impression of you when she sees you!"Severin urged Stanley again when Stanley had a hard time following behind him while carrying the medical box."What—what did you put inside here? Gosh! It's really very heavy. How can a medical box be so heavy?" Stanley tried to follow closely as he complained."Hehe. Nothing. It's not heavy for me!" Severin shrugged as he said that. Stanley's mouth twitched because those words hit him hard."What are you guys doing?"When they were at the entrance, the bodyguards that we
