Diane’s initial n was just to inform her father, William, about the situation. Believing that a couple of
remarks from William to the Loughs would be enough to persuade the other party to back off, her n
backfired when William brought both her uncle, George, and her grandma, Catherine along.
William nced at Severin and sighed. He was obviously disappointed with Severin, for he never
thought that his daughter would get together with someone so worthless. It dawned on him that it was
probably the reason why his daughter refused to say anything when asked about the child’s father.
Such a man was not worthy of being associated with the Shanahans, especially not a woman like
Diane who had both beauty and brains. Diane’s mother, Felicia, nced at Severin and took a step
forward. As she looked coldly at Severin, she said. “So you’re the one who ruined my daughter’s life? If
it weren’t for you, she wouldn’t’ve been kicked out of the house, and our life wouldn’t have been so
sufferable!”
Severin knew that he was the cause for Diane’s suffering, and that of her family as well. There was
nothing he could do except smile awkwardly and say, “I know that I’m the one to me for everything
that happened, but I hope I can set you at ease when I say that I’ll treat Diane well from this moment
on. I had no idea that Diane suffered so much for me in the past, and I vow to make her the happiest
woman in the world!”
“You? Treat her well?” A young and beautiful woman stood up at that very moment. She looked at
Severin with contempt while saying sarcastically, “These clothes you’re wearing…it’s been years since
youst bought new ones, right? They don’t even fit at all, and you look like a sorry excuse of a man.
Where did you get the nerve to dere that you’re going to my sister the happiest woman in the
world?”
“Enough, Megan!” Diane pulled a long face. She nced briefly at Severin before saying to Felicia and
Megan, “You can’t put all the me on him for what happened in the past. I was the one who decided
to give birth to Selene! I can’t bear to part with my child! She’s my flesh and blood!”
“How can you be such an idiot, Diane? You’re now defending the man ruined your life! I really don’t
know what else to say to you!” Megan shot back in anger. She pointed at Severin and continued to
chastise Diane, “Look at him! He’s a poor man! Do you honestly think you have a future with him?”
“I said, enough. I’m thankful that my daughter’s father is back. We’ll just work hard together from now
on. I don’t want my child to be fatherless!” Diane sighed, and there was a somewhat bitter. smile on her
lips. Severin could tell that Diane had little hope for him, and with good reason. After all, everyone
viewed him as a good-for-nothing ex-convict with neither money nor power.
Catherine shook her head in dismay when she saw Diane’s attitude. “Leave this poor boy, Diane. I
don’t want to hold this against you anymore’ after all these years. You are and will always be a
Shanahan, and our family will always wee you back with open arms if you agree toe back.”
“Grandma…you’re willing to let me go back home?” Diane seemed a little surprised. When she was
kicked out of the family all those years ago, she remembered how heartbroken she was when she saw
her grandmother’s unwavering gaze.

In the eyes of the Shanahans, their reputation and dignity were more important than her.
The olddy nodded. “You just need to leave him. Now that Selene’s father has returned, let him take
care of Selene. We’re not heartless people, of course. You’ll get to visit Selene every month, and you
can also give her some money for her monthly living expenses. How does that sound?”
Dianeughed at herself when she heard those words. She smiled at the Catherine and said, ” Thanks
for your kindness, Grandma, but I’m sorry to say that I won’t leave my daughter behind. Besides, I
believe Severin based on what he said. If he’s willing to be a good father, I’m just as willing to give him
a chance!”
