Chapter 169
Severin did not know how to answer Queenie’s question and felt a little awkward at that moment.
Diane smiled slightly and said to Queenie, “Umm, it’s nothing like that! We just have too many empty rooms upstairs, so he wanted to make one of the rooms his own space so it doesn’t feel so empty.” She then hooked her arm around Severin’s arm. “Actually, Severin still sleeps in the same room with me most of the time.”
Severin never expected Diane to be understanding to the point where she would take the initiative to avoid embarrassing him. He took advantage of the opportunity to put his arms around Diane’s waist, and then smiled at her. “Of course. We sleep together almost every night, but on the rare occasions that I have something important to do such as having to research certain medical skills, I’ll head back to my room and sleep alone.”
Diane blushed as soon as Severin put his arm around her waist, and her heart began to beat wildly
too.
“Yeah, that’s right!” Diane smiled cooperatively.
Queenie covered her mouth and laughed. “I see. You two should rest early then. I won’t bother. your sweet time.” She then walked to the room in the opposite corridor.
“Let’s go to bed, honey. It’s getting late!” Severin still had one arm around Diane’s waist as he opened the door and walked in before closing it shut.
“When are you going to let go of me?” As soon as they entered the room, Diane immediately rolled. her eyes at him and asked.

Severin finally removed his arm off Diane’s waist, albeit somewhat reluctantly, and then said, Thanks for helping me not of that sticky situation earlier. It’d be so embarrassing if my relatives. found out that you and I sleep in separate rooms.”
“Hmph. Did you have to hug me so tightly, then? As if having your arms around me was not bad enough, you touched my waist twice, you scoundrel!” Diane rolled her eyes at Severin again and lashed out a little coquettishly at him. It looked less like she was scolding him and more like flirting with him like they were a young couple.
“It’s all because you’re too beautiful, and I couldn’t control myself for a while there.” Severin smiled awkwardly, then asked Diane again. “By the way, why are you blushing so hard? I’ve been doing well recently, haven’t I, so could it be that you’ve fallen in love with me?”
Diane immediately became super nervous and she averted his gaze. “Not at all! I’m just worried that Selene would be fatherless! But I’ll admit, you’ve performed well these couple of days and I can see that you’re a good person. We can talk about the other stuff another time.”
Severin smiled and said, “Thanks for your compliment, honey. I’ll head back to my room and get some rest now!” He then turned around to open the door and leave.
When Diane saw that, she strode over, blocked the door, and said, “You….I don’t think you should go out. It won’t be good if your cousin finds out! It’ll be better if you just sleep here for the night…” Her voice became softer and softer toward the end of her sentence, and had it not been for
