Life After Prison by Silencieux
Chapter 276

Chapter 276

"I'm sorry, honey. A big chunk of the responsibility falls on me for what happened that night, because I slept with you knowing that I might be apprehended the next day after smashing the bottle over Easton's head. I didn't think you'd pregnant after that, and I never thought that it'd bring you so much pain and suffering!" Severin held Diane's hand, and said sincerely, "Don't worry. I'll try my best to make it up to you!" Diane smiled and said, "I still hated you when you were released, but everything that happened in the past. few days has shown me that you're a good person, while Lucy and Easton are anything but. Perhaps this is what they call fate."

Severin digested her words and asked again, "Do you still blame me now?"

Diane shook her head. "I don't blame you anymore, because you've proven yourself as a good father and a good husband. I can see that you're a capable and responsible man instead of a useless good-for- nothing. I'm very satisfied with that!" After saying that, Diane paused and asked again, "I still have something to ask you, though. Are you treating me well just because you want to make up for your past mistakes? I guess what I'm asking is, do you love me? I don't want you to be nice to me just because you feel sorry for me and want to make it up to me."

As soon as Severin heard her question, he could not help but flick Diane's dainty little nose. "Of course I love you, silly! You're beautiful, kind-hearted, gentle, and generous....how is that not attractive? I've fallen in love with you ever since I knew that you're the mother of my child and you've been helping my parents all these years!"

"That's not what I mean! What I'm asking is, do you feel your heart pound whenever you see me?" Diane frowned, then nudged her body against Severin as she asked coyly.

Severin held her hand and answered, "Of course I do. My heart is beating like crazy now, and I know it'll beat even faster if I get the chance to sleep beside a beautiful woman like you!"

"You and your charming tongue!" The feeling Diane had when she heard Severin's words was as if she had eaten a bowl of honey.

Severin then asked her the same. "What about you, then? I'm also curious to know whether you love me now that you don't hate me anymore. Do you have that sort of feelings toward me? I'm worried that you're only together with me just so Selene has a father. If that's true, there's nothing I can do about it!"

Diane blushed even more when she saw Severin's reaction. She lowered her head and said, "When I first saw you in the beginning, I forced myself to be with you because I felt that I shouldn't let my daughter be without a father. But I'm not starting to realize that I like you more and more, and, sometimes, I can't stop. thinking about you when I'm at work!"

"Really?" Severin felt an uncontainable joy when he heard that. "Do you really think of me when you go to work, honey?"

"Look at you, acting all happy like a child!" Diane could not help but laugh when she saw how he reacted. " By the way, how long are you going to hold my hand?"

Only then did Severin realize that he was still holding each other's hand tightly all the time, he could not help but smile and say, "Hehe, it'd be best if I could hold it forever."
