Chapter 1045
Audrey’s question was like a bucket of cold water over Rico’s head. ‘She’s right. Both our families will be doomed if Mister Severin decides to take revenge for what we did to him just now,’ he thought in shock. At that moment, he had never felt regret like he did just then.
“Mis… Mister Severin, I would like to make a toast to you…” He poured some wine into Severin’s glass before pouring himself some. “We were fools to have not recognized greatness before us and…”
Severin glanced at him and smiled. Raising his glass, he said, “Didn’t you say Chelsea’s friends are my friends too? Well, it’s only natural for a friend to buy another friend dinner, right?”
He then swirled his wine glass before flippantly saying, “Besides, y’all are not important enough to make me angry. You wouldn’t still be sitting here if I’m angry ’cause you know why? Y’all will be dead then.”
Rico mentally sweated before sighing inwardly. He downed his wine in one go. “You’re right, Mister Severin. Absolutely right. I’ll ask my men to look into Canis Hall for you too and let you know at the soonest when we have news about them. And if you need any help in the future, you can just come to me. I’ll do whatever I can to help you, Mister Severin.”
After a while, they left the restaurant after they were done eating. As for who paid the bill… why, that would be Hamish of course.
Severin and Chelsea bid everyone farewell before walking home.
“Sorry, Mister Severin. I didn’t know you’re the south county governor. If I had known, I wouldn’t ask you to pretend to be my boyfriend. I hope you’ll forgive me for that,” said Chelsea awkwardly.
Severin smiled. “Don’t worry. I dreamt of becoming an actor when I was little so I should thank you for giving me an opportunity to test out my acting skill.”
“Phew. I’m just glad you’re not angry,” said Chelsea. “But do you know how scared I was just now when you wouldn’t leave the restaurant and not to mention when you beat up Harry’s men? What am I going to do if Mister Stuart and the others beat you up? So imagine my surprise when I find out you’re actually the south county governor.
After a pause, she added, “Did you see the look on Rico and the others’ faces when they found out you’re the south county governor?”
Severin smiled at her. “Look who’s talking. Didn’t you have the same expression as them just now?”
Chelsea blushed with embarrassment and said nothing.
“Ahem! Those guys are probably here for me,” said Severin quietly.
Chelsea looked to where he was talking about and sure enough, there were four people sprinting toward them. She was surprised but not worried because she had witnessed just how strong Severin was. Thus, she rightfully concluded Severin would be able to protect her. ‘They’re definitely no match for him!”
“Meaning to say, they’re the same people from the airport this morning?” she asked eventually.
