The rest of the Shanahans could finally breathe a sigh of relief, and the crowd soon dispersed. Once everyone was gone, Felicia chastised Severin, "Where did you run off to, Severin? You're lucky that Mister Valerian is a magnanimous person, otherwise, we'd be in trouble if he's offended!"
Severin said nonchalantly, "Relax, he's a big shot who once led thousands of troops to war. Why would he be unhappy over such an insignificant matter? It's fine, so don't worry!"
Nevertheless, Felicia rolled her eyes at Severin. "Just because you say it's fine doesn't mean it is! You shouldn't have been so rude, you know? Did you think about the repercussions our family would have to suffer if he'd been a petty person?"
Diane persuaded. "There's no need to worry so much about it, Mom. Isn't everything fine right now? Besides, Mister Valerian even said that he wants to sit at the same table with Severin and have some drinks with him!"
Severin smiled. "By the way, could you join me later, Diane?"
"Me?" Diane was a little startled. She smiled awkwardly and said, "Maybe not. There are other people from first-tier families who would have to sit there, and I don't think it'd be appropriate for me to share a table with them!"
"Come on, it'll be fine! It's not inappropriate at all, and I'd go so far as to say that it couldn't be more appropriate for you to sit there because you're my wife!" Severin smiled and assured her.
