Life After Prison by Silencieux (PDF) novel Chapter 20

Chapter 20 

Diane’s initial plan was just to inform her father, William, about the situation. Believing that a couple of remarks from William to the Loughs would be enough to persuade the other party to back off, her plan backfired when William brought both her uncle, George, and her grandma, Catherine along. 

William glanced at Severin and sighed. He was obviously disappointed with Severin, for he never thought that his daughter would get together with someone so worthless. It dawned on him that it was probably the reason why his daughter refused to say anything when asked about the child’s father. 

Such a man was not worthy of being associated with the Shanahans, especially not a woman like Diane who had both beauty and brains. Diane’s mother, Felicia, glanced at Severin and took a step forward. As she looked coldly at Severin, she said. “So you’re the one who ruined my daughter’s life? If it weren’t for you, she wouldn’t’ve been kicked out of the house, and our life wouldn’t have been so sufferable!” 

Severin knew that he was the cause for Diane’s suffering, and that of her family as well. There was nothing he could do except smile awkwardly and say, “I know that I’m the one to blame for everything that happened, but I hope I can set you at ease when I say that I’ll treat Diane well from this moment on. I had no idea that Diane suffered so much for me in the past, and I vow to make her the happiest woman in the world!” 

“You? Treat her well?” A young and beautiful woman stood up at that very moment. She looked at Severin with contempt while saying sarcastically, “These clothes you’re wearing…it’s been years since you last bought new ones, right? They don’t even fit at all, and you look like a sorry excuse of a man. Where did you get the nerve to declare that you’re going to my sister the happiest woman in the world?” 

“Enough, Megan!” Diane pulled a long face. She glanced briefly at Severin before saying to Felicia and Megan, “You can’t put all the blame on him for what happened in the past. I was the one who decided to give birth to Selene! I can’t bear to part with my child! She’s my flesh and blood!”
