Life After Prison by Silencieux (PDF) novel Chapter 48

Chapter 48 

Furthermore, the dress that she was wearing did not look cheap at all. Maurice and Judith’s first thought was, ‘Did my son get together with a rich woman in just one day?’ 

Severin smiled and said, “Yes. She’s the one who gave you money every month…” 

“Diane! Please have a seat.” Maurice smiled awkwardly and did not know what to say next. He 

was still stunned to know that his son had left the home as a single man earlier than morning and suddenly came back with a wife and daughter later in the day. 

Judith pulled Severin to one side and Maurice immediately followed them too. 

“What on earth is going on here? You need to give us an explanation! She’s quite a pretty young woman, but isn’t it a little too sudden to have a wife and a daughter? Is she a divorcee?” 

After thinking for a while, Judith could not help but say, “Will she even like us when we’re so poor?” 

That was when Severin explained everything to the two of them. 

“I see! So that’s how it is. This is the Shanahans’ eldest young miss. I didn’t expect that the man she slept with back then was you!” Maurice was overwhelmed when he heard his explanation. That incident caused quite a stir back then, so they did have a general idea of what happened. Still, it hardly crossed their minds that the man Diane slept with was their son. 

“So, she’s the one who secretly gave us money in the past few years. Severin, these few years were probably really hard for her. She came from an upper-class family, was kicked out of her family home, and insisted on giving birth to her baby. Being a single mother is difficult enough, and yet she still found it in her to help your father and me. You need to make sure to treat her well in the future!” 

After pondering over it for a bit, Judith glanced at Diane who was sitting quietly there and said sternly to Severin, “I’ll disown you if you ever do anything to let her down!” 

Maurice agreed. “Yes. She’s a good woman, and she even waited all those years for you! A woman like her is a hundred times better than Lucy, so you must be good to her. We’ll be happy as she doesn’t think too badly of us being poor!”
