Life After Prison by Silencieux novel Chapter 58

Chapter 58 

Judith stretched her neck to glance at the price, and her face sank instantly Unfortunately, she had been told not to make any remarks about it and so smiled awkwardly while saying to Diane, “Go ahead and order whatever you like, Diane. These few years have been very tough on you, so you don’t have to hold back on Severin’s first time treating you to a meal!” 

Maurice was already mentally prepared for the food prices there. After all, few people patronized that establishment because it was beyond the financial means of ordinary people. Rich business people seemed to be the only customers there. 

After seeing the price, however, he still could not help his frown as he picked up the tea on the table and poured himself a cup. 

Diane just looked up at the old couple and could feel their uneasiness, so she smiled faintly and said, “I don’t feel like eating oily food, Severin. How about we go someplace else?” 

At that moment, a rich young man happened to pass by with his group of friends, and his eyes lit up as soon as he saw Diane. 

He immediately smiled. “What a marvelous excuse, pretty lady. If you can’t afford it, then just say so. Don’t make excuses about how you don’t want any oily food. They serve imported lobsters here, along with abalone and fish! Everything’s delicious, and the soup’s not that oily, is it? I don’t think the waitress would buy your excuse!” 

Diane’s face soured when she heard the man’s remark and she shot back coldly, “Whether or not I can afford to eat here has nothing to do with you, does it?” 

The rich young man stretched out an index finger and put his other hand on the back of the seat next to Diane. He bent down slightly and smiled cheekily as he wagged his finger and said, “Hush now, babe. It has everything to do with me because I’ve fallen for you at first sight! If you promise to come with me tonight, I’ll pay for your meal in return. You can order whatever you like!” 

“Haha, that’s Norman for you!” A guy behind him burst out laughing. 

“You’ve got a good eye, Norman. Her beauty is on point!” Another chubbier man laughed without caring that Diane and Severin would be unhappy. 

“Hehe, you guys can take it easy. I only brought them here to eat because I know I can afford it!” Severin smiled faintly and said politely to those men, “So, I think you should leave as far away as possible now, or else you might find yourself in a position where you can’t bear the consequences! 

“Whoa, do you honestly think I won’t be able to bear the consequences?” The man whom the others called Norman became even more abrasive when he heard that. “Hahaha! My word is gospel here in these parts! And also, I wasn’t talking to you just now. I was asking this beautiful woman right here. It doesn’t matter if you disagree! What’s important is that she says yes!” 

Severin’s expression darkened and he shot the man a cold glare. A murderous look had already begun to surface from the depths of his eyes, and he would have smacked the man senseless had it not been for the presence of his parents and daughter there. He did his level best to tell himself that it would be best to ignore a pest like that and then said politely, “Are you going to tell me that

my opinion doesn’t matter when I’m her man?” 

“Oh, I see!” The man straightened his posture and pretended to be surprised, but he then shrugged his shoulders and had a smug expression on his face. “Sorry to break it to you, but I’ve taken a liking to her. She’s still smoking hot even though she’s a mother! Mmmh! That’s my type!” 

He then turned to Diane and said, “Don’t worry, love. You can eat all the expensive dishes here. I’ve got loads of money anyway! I can let your family enjoy the best food in exchange for you letting me enjoy you tonight!”
