Life After Prison by Silencieux novel Chapter 453

Chapter 453 

Diane could tell from the beginning that everyone in the Shanahans wanted Severin to marry. Sheila. That would essentially make the Ballards and the Shanahans one family, and it would be of tremendous importance to the Shanahans’ development. They had nothing to lose and everything to gain, for it was something that many families dreamed of having. 

As a result, Diane had been feeling conflicted for the past few days. After all, she never thought that an ex-convict like Severin could still attract the affection of such a young lady. Many rich and powerful young men, especially those from upper-class families, had more than one wife and many other women outside of the home too. It seemed to be the norm for them. Diane, however, had always been an unyielding character, and she felt that Severin— being the ordinary man that he was-was already extremely lucky that he got the chance to marry her. 

Little did she expect him to become more and more promising by the day, and the Shanahans’ recent rapid rise was inextricably linked to him too. After all, had it not been for him, not even the Chavezes’ assets could have fallen into the Shanahans’ hands. 

After giving it some more thought over the past few days, Diane actually felt relieved in her heart. It would be enough as long as Severin loved her and protected both her and Selene. If an appropriate situation arose, then she would be fine with letting Sheila marry him. However, it still came as a bit of a shock that the old lady would ask that sort of question. 

Although Diane was a little surprised, she was stunned for only a brief moment, after which she said, “Miss Sheila is a very good person. She doesn’t hatch any schemes, and she’s very forthright with her opinions. Anyone who meets such a woman will ultimately take a liking to her. However, I should point out that I married Severin first, so whatever happens, I must be the main wife. Even if she gets married, she can never and should never rise to the same status as me, and the issue with marrying her is whether or not someone of her status will be willing to accept that!” 

Severin was completely dumbfounded because he never thought that Diane would say something like that. He became emotional the next second, because Diane was a good woman, and she was willing to endure whatever uneasiness she felt about the situation because she was looking at the bigger picture. Having such a wife made Severin feel that he had no regrets whatsoever in life! 

“So you’re willing, then? Miss Sheila seems to like Severin a lot, and maybe she might be willing to play second fiddle to you for Severin’s sake. Mister Zachariah only has one daughter, and all his property will go to her when he grows old. That means Brookbourn Mansion will sooner end up in Severin’s hands!” Felicia was elated when she thought of how much wealth she might stand to gain in the future. 

Catherine nodded too. “Diane is a good child. She’s always so mindful of the bigger picture and is filial in her actions. I’m right about you!” 

Unexpectedly for them, Severin stood up and said to everyone. “Did you all think you could decide for me when you haven’t asked me if I agree to it?” 

Felicia immediately said, “What’s there to disagree with? This is the Ballards’ daughter we’re talking about here. If she’s willing to marry you, then everyone in Brookbourn will envy you! You’ll be going out with pride! Why would you object to such a good development?” 

Megan also chimed in, “Just be happy for yourself, Brother-in-Law. Miss Sheila is a beautiful woman, and though my sister is beautiful too, you could say that the both of them are uniquely different from each other. If you can get the chance to marry her and enjoy life with two beautiful women, I think you’ll wake up every day with a smile!”
