"Umm…it's getting late. Why don't you give Severin a call and ask if he is going?" Lucy asked Quinn after giving it a thought. She was afraid Severin was not going to show up tonight."Sure. It's already evening and it's not early anymore. Timothy, give Severin a call. "Quinn nodded. After some thinking, she said, "We're all classmates. I don't think he's going to reject gathering to have dinner together. If he really rejects us, it's a bit harsh, don't you think?"Timothy grabbed his phone, dialed Severin's phone number, and put the conversation on speaker. In the meantime, Severin was driving back home together with Diane. His phone rang when he got down from the car. He frowned when he saw the caller ID. After all, Timothy hardly contacted him in the past. The last time he saw Timothy was when Timothy and Quinn gave him a ride to Lucy's wedding. They talked in the car and he thought Timothy was a snobbish person for having some money in his pocket.Nevertheless, Quinn was quite n
At least, Timothy would not consider being with Lucy if he was Severin.Lucy chuckled. "Really? Do you think I have a chance? Then I should make some effort with my appearance and choose an outfit that he will like. I will try my best to see if I still got a chance to be with him again. What was I thinking? I'm such an idiot when I chose Easton instead of Severin. Easton is a jerk!"At this point, her face was filled with regrets. "Sigh. I should have waited for Severin. None of this would happen if I waited for him!""You two were together for three years. Although Diane gave birth to his daughter and waited for him for five years, they only lived together for less than a month. In this situation, who do you think he loves more?"Quinn acted as Lucy's relationship adviser and started to analyze the current situation. "At that time, the love you two had was pure. You guys were together just because you two loved each other. Whereas, there could be many reasons why he decided to be
"Who was it? Is Sheila awake?" Diane asked after Severin hung up the phone. They were already inside the house.Severin shook his head. "No. It's my former college classmate. He said one of my classmates has come back from overseas and asked me out to drink in a bar since we haven't seen each other for a long time. Sigh, I don't feel like going but it doesn't seem nice of me to reject him."At this point, he paused. "Diane, do you want to go with me? We can take this chance and introduce my beautiful wife to them. Hehe. It's going to make me very proud to let them know I marry such a beautiful woman."Diane rejected him. "No. I don't know any of your friends. I'm going to stay at home and accompany Selene. You go and have fun."Severin nodded and passed the box of reishi mushrooms to Diane. "Slice it into roughly the size of the nail of your thumb. Take a small piece at a time. Tell Mom and Dad all they need is a small piece each time they drink it with hot water because of their a
Up until here, Megan continued, "But I wonder what Diane thinks of it. Mom, do you think Diane is going to agree with it?"Sheila's heart pounded faster when she heard that question. Mainly because everything else was not going to be a problem as long as Diane agreed with it. The money she spent on the gift was well spent. Obviously, Catherin, Felicia, and even Megan did not object to the idea. The only thing left to tackle was Diane. If Diane also agreed to it, she believed Severin will fall in love with her. She was confident that her beauty was well above Diane's and she was younger too.Felicia remained quiet for a while before saying, "I don't know what Diane thinks of this. But I think she didn't express any dissatisfaction today and I know Diane is a smart girl who knows what is best for her. I don't think she will disagree. If Severin marries Miss Sheila, there is only good than bad for our family.""That's great!"Sheila got so excited when she heard that. She grasped her
Megan was stunned. "Of course, no! That's just impossible. You fell asleep right after you were drunk. Hoho!""That's good." Sheila smiled awkwardly. As a matter of fact, she was scared the Shanahans would gossip to the others about her drunk moment. That was going to be very embarrassing for her if that happened. Upon hearing the answer, she figured Megan and the others were not stupid enough to gossip about her. Soon, they exchanged phone numbers with each other before going downstairs."Hi! Miss Sheila, you're awake!" Felicia quickly got on her feet when she saw Sheila. "You have had one too many so I ask someone to bring you to the room to rest. Oh, your bodyguards are waiting for you outside."Sheila smiled gently. "I'm so sorry. I was too excited to see you guys for the first time and drunk too many than what I can handle.""Gosh, it's nothing. We are very honored to have you here with us!" Felicia smiled."Alright. Then I'm going to leave now. I'll look for Megan when I'm f
"Huuu!" Sheila exhaled deeply knowing that. "It's good then. I don't want her to dislike me! That means she is a magnanimous person. Not the narrow-minded person or the type of woman who gets jealous easily. Otherwise, I'm going to have a difficult life waiting for me if I married Severin in the future."The bodyguards exchanged looks with each other with weird faces. Shortly, Sheila arrived at her house.Zachariah was watering the flower in the garden. He frowned and asked when he saw Sheila. "Sheila, I thought you are not a fan of alcohol? Why do you smell as if you have taken a shower with alcohol? You went to look for Severin, didn't you?"Sheila nodded. "Yes, I did. He was not at home. Then I found out he was at the Shanahans. It was lunchtime so we ate together. I was happy and drank a few glasses.""I see." Zachariah nodded and said, "A girl must know how to protect herself when she is out on her own. It's better that you avoid drinking if possible. Besides, you know you can
Those two female classmates were Hannah Simpson and Sophia Ramsey. Although they did not have great wealth, they were white-collar workers and had financial independence. They were not as pretty as Lucy but their body was not too bad. Sophia wore a power suit that gave her a very sophisticated vibe.Hannah was slightly plumped. She had a round face and look very adorable. Dressed in a white top, her bust was very noticeable as she was a buxom lady."Hey, Hannah, Sophia, you girls came too! I haven't seen you two for a long time. Gosh, look at how fast the time passed."When Lucy reached the bar, she greeted Hannah and Sophia with a smile. Hannah and Sophia did not know Lucy's current situation. After graduation, Lucy got together with Easton. Ever since she was rich, she seldom contacted her classmate who was less wealthy. Thus, they did not know what happened to Lucy's life.Sophia smiled. "I remember you were very close with Severin when we were studying. How long have you guys b
"Whose car is that? I think that car costs around two-hundred-and-sixty-thousand dollars."Matthew saw it and looked jealous. "Sigh. I get paid quite well now but I don't think I can ever afford that car in my life. I still need to work hard to save enough money to buy a house. Otherwise, I'm going to have trouble finding myself a wife.""It's Severin?"Soon, Hannah discovered Severin was getting out of the Audi. She was so surprised she had her mouth wide open."Severin is beyond your imagination now. The villa he lives in is worth nearly a-hundred-million dollars. I think he's keeping a profile low driving that car," Timothy said."What? He's that rich?"Hannah and the rest were astonished by the information. They did not even dream to live in a villa that was worth nearly a-hundred-million dollars. How long had Severin been back? Why was he so rich?"You guys probably don't know how powerful he is now. He's in a good relationship with the Longhorns, and the Zelankos. I also h
