Life After Prison by Silencieux novel Chapter 1023

Chapter 1023 

At that moment, Sheila called her father Zachariah beside the nearby rockery. 

As soon as Zachariah answered the phone, he could not resist saying to her, “Took you long enough to call me, Sheila. How are things there? Have you returned from Skystream City?” 

Sheila nodded. “We’ve been back for several days now, and we met a lot of important people there too.” 

Zachariah cleared his throat. “None of that’s important! Let’s just get straight to the point.” Zachariah said. He then said to her, “How are you getting along with Severin? Please don’t tell me that you didn’t make any progress even after you were there for so long.” 

His question left Sheila feeling a wave of joy, and she answered excitedly, “I’m calling you because ! wanted to talk to you about this. Severin finally accepted me, and I’ll be his woman from now on. Even Selene calls me Mommy Sheila now!” 

“Really?” it had been days since he last heard any updates from Sheila, and Zachariah did not put his hopes too high on her either. After all, Severin did not seem interested even though Sheila was beautiful enough and had already taken the initiative to win his heart. In Zachariah’s view, Sheila probably was not Severin’s type. 

However, his dejection immediately turned into excitement after hearing what Sheila told him. He stood up excitedly from his suntanning session. “I couldn’t be happier to hear that, Sheila! He’s a good man, and he’s a cut above everyone else. I will have nothing to worry about for the rest of my life if you marry him. He is also a very reliable and responsible person. You’ll have a good life, and he’ll treat you exceptionally well too!” 

However, Sheila had a smug expression as she said to her father, “That was a given from the beginning. Dad! Wasn’t I the one who fell in love with him and told you that he was a good man? You, on the other hand, were initially reluctant to see me with him and even persuaded me not to go for him! Look at him now. Aside from having the four war gods as his apprentices, even the governors of Skystream Province and Skydra Province are on good terms with him! They treat him like a brother now!” 

“You’re kidding, right? Even the two governors are treating him like a brother after that trip? This is a bit too much if you ask me!” Zachariah was startled at first, but he soon smiled and said, “You must be so blinded by love that you’re exaggerating the interaction between him and those big shots.” 

Sheila immediately protested. “Me? Exaggerating? You wouldn’t know because you weren’t here! If you saw everything for yourself, you would understand that nothing I said was an exaggeration. Severin is already a second-grade high-rank alchemist. You know what that means, don’t you? The pills he produces are now envied by level nine warrior kings!” 

Zachariah gasped. “Oh, dear lord! His talent for alchemy is off the charts! How did he even break through to second-grade high-rank alchemist so quickly? Tsk, tsk, tsk. He’s truly incredible. There’s no telling what he can achieve in the future. The world is his oyster!” 

Having said that, Zachariah could not help but ask curiously, “Ahem, how far along in the relationship are you? Did you assume he accepted you just because the two of you held hands, or does Selene call you’ Mommy Sheila’ because the two of you have already… Umm…” 

Sheila was suddenly embarrassed. “Hush, don’t talk about that, Dad! We’ve already kissed, and he was the one who took the initiative to kiss me. That should be enough to prove it, right?”
