Chapter 46
Severin began hesitating over which brand would be best.
In any case, an Audi or something similar would be the least he should get since he already had a net worth of tens of millions. After all, if he continued to keep a low profile too much, he was worried that karma might strike back at him for his actions. 1

“Audi? Maserati? I think you’ve gone nuts after getting that little bit of money. That money you just got back was your parents’ hard-earned money. Are you going to spend it all? Have you forgotten. your family still owes money to some of your relatives? I overheard your parents talking about it when I dropped by there once!” Diane lambasted him angrily. “Even if you have money, you can’t just spend it like there’s no tomorrow, you know? I only allowed you to buy clothes for me, Selene, and your parents, because I’m treating the entire purchase as you making it up to us. As for the car, you have absolutely no reason to buy one that’s so expensive!”
Severin felt a little ashamed when he saw that Diane was genuinely angry. He tried to probe for another response by asking, “But what if I told you I have millions? And by that, I mean, tens and tens of millions!”
Diane could only stare blankly at him in return. “Tens of millions? How is that even possible? Who are you trying to fool?” She walked away angrily after that.
Severin felt a little speechless, because he had already told her the truth, and it was up to her to believe it. If he went a step further and showed her the money in the bank account, she might just get a heart attack from seeing all those zeroes, and that was something he would prefer to avoid. from happening.
Needless to say, Severin felt that it would be better for him to keep a low profile for the moment since that would allow him to see how his relatives reacted after his return. It would be bad for him if everyone knew that he had all that money because then there might be a ton of people asking to borrow money from him. That would be annoying, to say the least.
With that in mind, Severin chased after her and apologized. “Okay, honey. I won’t brag anymore. I’ll listen to whatever you say and buy whatever car you think is best!”
Diane stopped walking and turned to him. “I decided on a model long ago, actually. Let’s just get a Chevrolet Spark. The price range for this car is just over ten thousand or so. As long as it can bring us from Point A to Point B, it’s more than enough for us!” Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
“You’re right, honey. Having a car to bring us around will be much better than having to walk!”
Severin had a look of approval while deep down he felt a surge of warmth. Judging by how Diane put it, she was indeed a good wife and mother who knew how to save money. Lucy, on the other hand, would have insisted that he buy a whole subway line for her if she knew that he had millions! After all, her vanity was more important than anything else.
“The main reason I chose that car is because you still have to pay back the money that your parents borrowed! I also want Selene to go to a better kindergarten, and the cost of one semester at some of the better ones can be as high as several thousand! We need to save as much money as we possibly can!” Diane smiled wryly.
“I never knew my wife would be such a whiz at managing the family finances! Let’s get that Chevy
then!” Severin said with a smile.
Before long, the three of them took a taxi to a car showroom, where they bought their Chevrolet. Spark and drove it home.
“By the way, honey, how’d you know that I was in the Richemont Hotel?” Severin could not figure -out the answer to that and decided to just ask Diane.
“I went to your house to look for you, but you weren’t there. Then I remembered that Easton and Lucy were getting married today, so I went to the wedding venue because I was worried that you’d cause trouble there. I didn’t think you’d cause trouble for real!”
After Diane finished speaking, she rolled her eyes at Severin and chided, “Is it so hard to let your parents have some peace of mind when it comes to you? They’re already old. It won’t be good for them to hear of your troublemaking. And personally, I’d like for us to live a good and peaceful life in the future. That’s more than enough.”
“Okay, honey, don’t you worry! I’ll make it up to you for sure!” Severin nodded seriously. “This time, I’m officially bringing you back to meet my parents!”
“Meet your parents…?” Diane’s mind went blank, and it was obvious that she did not know what to say to him.
