Chapter 423
“Who was it? Is Sheila awake?” Diane asked after Severin hung up the phone. They were already inside the house.
Severin shook his head. “No. It’s my former college classmate. He said one of my classmates. has come back from overseas and asked me out to drink in a bar since we haven’t seen each other for a long time. Sigh, I don’t feel like going but it doesn’t seem nice of me to reject him.”
At this point, he paused. “Diane, do you want to go with me? We can take this chance and introduce my beautiful wife to them. Hehe. It’s going to make me very proud to let them know I marry such a beautiful woman.”
Diane rejected him. “No. I don’t know any of your friends. I’m going to stay at home and accompany Selene. You go and have fun.”
Severin nodded and passed the box of reishi mushrooms to Diane. “Slice it into roughly the size of the nail of your thumb. Take a small piece at a time. Tell Mom and Dad all they need is a small piece each time they drink it with hot water because of their age. But you can take two pieces each time. Your body might feel weird at first and probably feel sore. Don’t worry. It’s totally normal.”
Diane rolled her eyes and gave Severin a flirtatious expression. “Okay, I understand. Remember to teach me the martial art that you said!”
“No problem. If you start to train, I bet you’re going to be very hardworking. Just like with your work. They said you’re a workaholic!” Severin chuckled.
“Absolutely! I treat all things seriously!” Diane spoke. At that moment, Sheila finally woke up.
“Huh? Where am I?”
It startled her when she discovered she was sleeping somewhere she did not know. Quickly, she sat up. Thinking carefully, she remembered she was drinking in the Shanahans. Obviously, she could not recall what happened after she was drunk. After she put on her shoes, she looked at the time and went downstairs. When she was near the stairs, she stopped because she heard Megan and Felicia talking and they were talking about her. Thus, she listened carefully.
At that moment, Felicia was in a happy mood. “Hehe. Miss Sheila is so open and wild after she was drunk. I can’t believe she actually confessed her love to Severin. It seems like she really likes him!”
