Life After Prison

Chapter 223

“No way, Severin. You’re kidding, right? That’s a whole load of money!” Evan was taken aback and wondered if he had heard wrongly. ‘Is Severin really going to give all that money to me? I’ve never seen so much money in my life!

“Why would I joke around with you?” Severin smiled. “Back to my question, will that be enough?”

Evan gulped and said, “Yes, of course! It’ll definitely be enough to buy a small three-bedroom house in the suburbs, and that’ll cost maybe a hundred thousand. That, and thirty-thousand dowry, comes to a total of a hundred and thirty thousand. That’s already more than enough!” After thinking about it, he then said, “I don’t need that much. You can just lend me seventy thousand dollars. I’ll give her the thirty thousand as the dowry and use the remaining forty thousand as down payment for the house. I swear I’ll return it to you when you have the money again!’

Severin smiled. “That won’t be necessary. I already told you that I’m giving it to you, not borrowing it to you. And besides, seventy thousand is hardly enough. You’re going to buy a house, give her a dowry, and you have to spend money on renovating your new place. That requires money too, right? What about your wedding celebrations? By my estimate, that’ll require at least two hundred thousand dollars!”

“Severin, wait…are you really giving us all that money? We can’t possibly accept that. Please just treat it as a loan from us!” Finn and Edwina were startled and said hastily to Severin.

They were all honest farmers who had never seen so much money in their entire life. As a result, they would not dare to accept the big sum that Severin was offering!

Severin looked at the old couple and then said to Edwina, “Your family used to raise pigs in the village, and every time one of those piggies went to slaughter, you would always bring some meat for our

family. You’ve treated our family well, and I remember the kindness you’ve shown us. That money isn’t much, and Evan has a good relationship with me too!”

Gaston could not help but smile and say, “Sigh, you guys should accept his gesture. Severin. has a lot of money now. The villa he lives in is worth more than eleven million, and the meal we’re having is well over a hundred and fifty thousand. He’s a grateful person, this boy!” Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

He had clearly become friendlier and continued to heap praise on Severin.

“This meal….is so expensive!” Finn and Edwina were dumbfounded. Severin was not rich-he was crazy rich!

There was still a frown on Evan’s face. “I feel bad for accepting all this money, Severin! I don’t even know how to thank you!”

Severin laughed. “Just remember to invite me and my wife to your wedding!” After saying that, he turned to Diane and asked her, “What do you think, honey? Do I get your approval?”

Diane was speechless. He had only remembered to ask her after he had made a decision, and it would be humiliating for Severin if she said no.

She then smiled and said, “Why would I disapprove? I like it when my man is a grateful person who knows how to appreciate other people’s kindness!”

“You must be my cousin-in-law then? I’m very glad to meet you!” Evan immediately poured himself a glass of wine, and raised a toast to her while saying, “To the two of you! May you be blessed with a child soon!”

Diane immediately said in embarrassment, “We already have a daughter. Let’s talk about having another child sometime in the future. I don’t have plans to have a second child just yet!

Severin grinned. “Yes, yes. There’s no rush now. We’ll have another baby eventually!”

Diane immediately shot Severin a glance. ‘He’s got some nerve using that remark to his advantage!’

“Oh, you have a daughter!” Evan froze and finally turned to look at Selene. “This must be her, then? She’s incredibly adorable!”
