Chapter 30
“Severin, you b*stard! You just had to ruin my daughter’s wedding because you can’t marry her, didn’t you? It’s not like you’ll achieve anything with your actions. My daughter will marry Easton anyway!” Helga cursed at Severin as she was still resentful that her family had to return the 190,000 dollars.
Severin could not bother to pay attention to her and looked at Denzel with a smile. “Thanks for your help today, Mister Denzel. I owe you one, so if you ever need my help in the future, just say the word.”
Denzel was secretly delighted to hear that. In fact, he was confident that Henry would help Severin after arriving there, and that was the only reason he dared to stand up against Blade and Trevor. Had he not known that Henry would show up and speak for Severin, he might not have dared to do what he did that day. Having Severin owe him a favor was a good thing of course, since he believed that someone whom Henry thought highly of would definitely be someone extraordinary!
“You’re welcome, Severin! You can just call me Denzel!” Denzel smiled authentically.
Severin smiled and said, “Sure. I think dropping the Mister makes your name roll off the tongue a little smoother!”
Once done, Severin looked at Diane beside him and said with a grin, “Let’s go, honey. It’s time to pick up our daughter!”
“Well, start moving then!” Diane shot Severin a glare. Had she not feared that Selene might lose her father, she would not have gone all the way there to look for Severin.
By the time the two of them stepped out of the hotel, a Rolls-Royce had parked right in front of them.
After getting into the car, Severin saw Diane looking coldly out the window and said to her, “I’m sorry, Diane. I genuinely didn’t know that you were pregnant with my daughter and decided to give birth to
her. You’ve suffered a lot these past few years, but I vow to care for you from now on and make up for all the mistakes I made. Will you accept my apology?”
At the mention of what happened back then, Diane got angry and looked coldly at Severin before saying, “Make it up? You want to make it up to me? Do you know how much hate I got over the years? Where were you when I was at my lowest? Do you know what I resent most about you? I resent that you slept with me that night when you knew that might be arrested and sent to prison. the next day…” Diane almost could not go on because she already had the urge to strangle Severin to death.
Severin could only smile bitterly, “My head wasn’t in the right place from all that drinking. I was just super depressed and afraid. Besides, I had no idea it was your first time, and I never thought that you would get pregnant, least of all keep the child! I just thought you wanted to get laid, and it hardly occurred to me that you’d be the Shanahans darling young miss!”
“I…” Diane was speechless, because she had only decided to get a drink that night after giving in to her extreme despair. She did not want to marry Edward, and it was her family’s repeated pressure
that drove her into doing such a thing. All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.
Unfortunately, she did not stop to think that she would get pregnant on her first time!
Severin and Diane got out of the car after it was parked at the entrance of the residential area.
As they walked in slowly, Diane thought for a while and said to Severin, “It won’t be a problem if you want to make up for your mistakes, but you need to listen to everything I say from now on!”
In response, Severin raised his hand and vowed, “I promise I’ll listen to every word you say! If you tell me to jump, I’ll ask ‘how high!”
Diane nodded. “You need to play the role of a good father and treat Selene well!”
“Of course,” Severin said with a smile, “she’s my daughter!”
Diane then said, “We can sleep in the same room from tonight onward, but I’ll sleep on the bed and you’ll sleep on the floor. You should be content with being given the chance to reconnect with your daughter! Don’t even think about anything else!”
“Huh…”
Severin’s mind went blank, but he soon saw Diane’s cold look, and nodded, “Okay. I’ll sleep on the floor!” He subsequently took the initiative to step forward and hold her hand. “Honey, since we’re going to meet our daughter soon, don’t you think we should be a little affectionate in front of her, even if it means having to play pretend? You can’t always keep a straight face, you know. It won’t leave a good impression on her!”
