Sheila frowned at once. He did not know why Catherine would want to speak to her in private, and in such a secretive manner too. Nevertheless, she still followed the old lady to the so- called quiet place.

The old lady then let go of Sheila's hand. “You like Severin, don't you, Miss Sheila? It's pretty obvious to everyone!"

Sheila blushed as soon as she heard that, and it appeared that everyone remembered what she said when she was drunk the previous day. The thought of what happened made her so embarrassed that she felt like digging a hole in the ground and burying herself there. She nodded shyly and said, "I do. I like him very much, and I tend to miss him a lot after I haven't seen him for a day. But he always keeps a distance from me, and it makes me super mad! It makes me feel like I'm unwanted, and that I'm the one who keeps having to woo him!"

The old lady was secretly happy when she received Sheila's acknowledgment. "We asked Diane a question this morning to find out if she would agree to you marrying Severin."

"Huh? You asked her that?" Sheila's beautiful eyes opened wide, and she did not expect the Shanahans to be so forthright that they could ask such things in a straightforward manner. Then again, it should not come as a surprise, since the old lady was rather straight-to-the- point in everything she did and did not hesitate to ask Sheila whether she liked Severin!

"So... what do Diane say?" Sheila immediately became nervous when she saw the old lady nodding her head. After all, though Severin and Diane had not been together for long, she could tell that Severin genuinely loved Diane, and Diane felt the same way for Severin too. Their closeness with each other was so much stronger than that of normal relationships.

Therefore, if Diane disagrees, or there was any serious interference with their relationship, Severin would likely take Diane's feelings into consideration, thus reducing Sheila's chances.

even more.

"Diane did not have too much to say about it. She did say that you're a decent person and a good young lady!" Catherine smiled slightly and then added, "But she did make it clear that she'll always be the mair wife if you do marry Severin, and you can only be treated like a mistress! Would you feel offended by that?"

When Sheila heard that, she pumped her fists and jumped happily. "Awesome! That's amazing news! I'm willing to do anything as long as I can be with Severin, and I'm fine with being the lesser wife. Heck, I'm fine even if it means having to wash Diane's feet every day! I'm happy enough if she agrees to it!"

Catherine was utterly speechless. Sheila was the daughter of Brookbourn Mansion, yet she had no qualms saying that she would be willing to wash Diane's feet if it meant being able to marry Severin. Could she really lower herself to such lengths for the sake of love?

Though the old lady had been worried that Sheila might be unwilling to play second fiddle, she could finally breathe a sigh of relief when she heard Sheila's statement.

"So, where is my handsome Severin then? Is he here? What did he say about it?" Sheila soon recalled something and could not help but look eagerly at the old lady.

The old lady answered with a convoluted expression, "He mentioned that you're a very nice

IRS your immature. More importantly, he doesn't have the feeling of missing you when he doesn't see you for a day!"

After hearing that answer, the smile on Sheila's face disappeared in an instant and was replaced by a burst of disappointment. She said bitterly, "That son-of-a-b*tch! What's there not to like about me? Damn it I've stooped so low for him, and he has the gall to say such things? Ugh! He's so infuriating! Why doesn't he like me?!"

Catherine looked at Sheila's reaction. "He didn't say he hates you though, and he thinks you're a good person too. I just think you need to work harder. Success is almost within reach!"
