Chapter 643
“Yay! This is great, honey. We just saved millions of dollars on the wedding!” said Ariel happily. “And all we have to do is to tell our guests that the wedding has been postponed by two days. That’s little work for a few million dollars!”
“Yeah, we’re lucky to have met a guy who’s so generous as to foot the bill for our wedding,” said Gunther, who was grinning from ear to ear.
“He’s not only generous but also very particular in what he does as well!” said Archie with a smile. “With his connection with the Shanahans and Miss Sheila’s backing, he could just have asked us to give up the venue with no compensation given. At least that’s what anyone else would do but he came up with a win- win solution so I dare say he would go on to do great things for sure.”
Ariel frowned. “Dad, don’t you think you’re praising him a little too much? Mister Severin doesn’t seem to be famous. In fact, I never heard anyone talking about him at all.”
“Well, that’s where you’re mistaken. Mister Severin is the reason the Shanahans can go from a third-tier upper-class family who was about to lose their footing to a family more powerful that those in the first- tier upper-class so quickly. In fact, he hasn’t even been back that long,” said Archie wisely.
After thinking it through, Gunther said, “Looks like we must not only attend Mister Severin’s and Miss Diane’s wedding but we must also make sure we give them a really expensive gift.”
Archie nodded and said seriously, “Yes, we need to get on their good side for sure.”
“Severin, you mentioned something about putting up some advertisements just now. What did you mean by that?” asked Sheila from the front passenger seat.
“Oh, I was planning to put our wedding picture and a timer counting down to the wedding date on every taxi and bus stop to announce my and Diane’s wedding that’s happening in nine day’s time,” said Severin happily.
“Wow! I never take you to be this romantic. You have me totally fooled!” said the starry-eyed Sheila.
Then she suddenly thought of something so she added, “But I don’t really care about all that nor do I need to have a grand wedding. It’s enough for me to be with the man I love. In fact, you just have to say the word and I’ll be yours forever.”
Hearing this, Severing could not help but wonder if there was no end to Sheila’s ridiculousness.
After he had organized everything, Severin sent Sheila back to her house. Then, he went to pick up Diane at her house because she asked him in the morning whether he could give her a ride to the mall as she planned to do some shopping with Megan.
“Severin, Diane has already chosen her wedding dress, Look at this photo I took of her wearing the wedding dress. What do you think?” asked Megan with a smile as soon as she saw Severin had come to her house.
Severin took a look at the photo and nodded satisfactorily. “She’s gorgeous! Absolutely gorgeous! Look at how I’m drooling all over the photos!”
