Chapter 623
Severin’s reaction elicited a smile from Diane as she chastised him, “You’re such a meanie. Don’t you think you’re being too cruel? Are you just going to pretend that you can’t see how nice she’s treating you? I’m fine if you two end up together!”
Severin blushed and could not help but say, “Not you too! I can’t believe you’ve developed such a good relationship with her!”
“Hehe, I’m going downstairs to let her know that she can come to your room to meet you!” Diane ignored Severin’s protests because she understood what it felt like to love someone dearly. The feeling was especially strong in the past few days when she missed Severin like crazy when he was not around. As a result, she could understand Sheila’s feelings perfectly.
“I might as well go down and meet her then. God knows what she’s going to do if you let her come to my room. Whose shoulder am I supposed to cry on if she gets all handsy on me?” Severin was startled by Diane’s suggestion and jumped off the bed in a hurry.
As she walked downstairs, she said, “Do you think you’re that sought after? Sheila might be a passionate and cheerful girl who isn’t afraid to speak her mind, but she won’t go that far, right?”
Severin did not know what to say. He could only think to himself, “You don’t know how feisty she can be. The other day, she kissed me in my car when I wasn’t paying attention!”
If he went down to meet her, then it would be less likely for Sheila to do something indecent to him.
“Ah! My handsome! I’m so glad you’re finally back!” As soon as Severin’s figure appeared downstairs, Sheila’s eyes instantly lit up. Her big, bright eyes even seemed to be sparkling. After she finished speaking. she rushed over at once, threw herself into Severin’s arms, and cried, “You didn’t even tell me that you’d be gone for a few days! I lost my appetite while you were gone because I was so worried that you’ll encounter any danger! If you told me earlier, I would have accompanied you, and I would’ve been fine with becoming your tea lady!”
Severin was completely speechless. Diane was there, yet Sheila had no qualms about running over and giving him a bear hug in front of his wife!
Diane could not help herself from covering her mouth and giggling when she saw how awkward Severin was. Sheila’s boldness was so great that she was willing to go all out and pursue her true love.
However, Diane soon stopped giggling and her mood saddened slightly. Sheila’s words and actions demonstrated just how much she loved Severin, and if Severin continued to refuse her advances, then Sheila would probably be deeply hurt. Still, Diane was well aware that feelings could not be forced, and it was not in her place to force Severin into accepting Sheila.
“Ahem, this isn’t very appropriate, Miss Sheila. You should be more mindful of your actions around a married man.” Severin cleared his throat slightly and reminded her right away.
Sheila then let go of Severin and lowered her head as she said shyly, “I’m just excited to see you return…
Diane smiled and said, “By the way, Sheila, he’s going to treat us to a big meal later tonight. Why don’t you come along too? You can eat something lighter for lunch to save some space in your tummy for the feast!
“Yeah, that would be great! I’m free tonight too!” Sheila agreed immediately with a smile. She could not help but glance secretly at Severin as she said, “You’re getting more handsome with every day that I didn’t see you!”
