Life After Prison

Judith served the tea she had just made to Diane’s family with a smile. “Felicia, please have some tea!”

Felicia tried to smile. “Yes. I was quite surprised when Diane said she was staying here when I

called her. I thought there was something wrong with my ears. And it turns out my ear is fine. You guys are really staying here!”

She took a sip of the tea and spat it out. “Blek! What tea is this?”

Judith was embarrassed. “It’s Rooibos tea…”

“Tsk, tsk. Is it the one that comes in a loose pack of just maybe a few dollars or the one that costs more than ten dollars? Do you guys seriously drink this all the time? Dear me, this is way too cheap! “Felicia complained without thinking it would make Judith feel bad.

Subsequently, Megan also took a sip of the tea. “Yuck! It really is disgusting. Totally a different. class from the one we used to drink!”

“Um…Felicia, I’m sorry. But this is the tea we normally drink. I didn’t know you were coming to visit today. Why don’t I ask Maurice to buy a better one now?” Judith smiled embarrassingly.

“Yes! That’s right! I’ll go buy a better tea now!” Maurice was feeling a little uneasy and nervous. He rubbed his hand while trying to smile politely.

“No! That’s not necessary!” Diane could not watch it anymore. “They don’t have to drink if they don’t like it. Just let them be!” Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.

“Diane, how could you speak to us like that?” Felicia shouted at Diane angrily.

Diane did not care. “I’m just speaking the truth. Mom, don’t tell me you don’t understand that a guest should suit the convenience of the host. You are being disrespectful. How would you feel if I told you your dress is hideous?”

Felicia gritted her teeth and did not know what to say. It was beyond her imagination to have her daughter speak to her in this manner.

On the other hand, William drank the tea and smiled. “Maurice, Felicia. You don’t have to buy new tea. I think this tea tastes great.”

“You! How could you help the outsiders instead of me?” Felicia gave him an angry glare.

“Hey, don’t say that. We’re going to be a family. There’s no outsider in this house. Have you forgotten the reason why mom asked us to come over?” William said.

That reminded Felicia. Catherine wanted to know just how close Severin and Henry are. In addition, they would also like to persuade Diane and Severin to move back into the house so Severin could put in some good words with Henry. They were hoping that could help them to get the project they wanted from the very beginning.

They had their answer now knowing that Henry had gifted this villa to Severin. Therefore, it was essential to persuade Diane to move back into the house so they could please and fawn Severin to make him help their family.

Instantly, Felicia changed her attitude and smiled. “Oh, geez. Actually, I was just trying to be nice and remind you. I mean look at the place where you guys are staying now. It’s not nice for you to continue drinking this cheap tea anymore. Your lifestyle should be different from before. At least try to buy the more expensive tea!”

“Felicia, you’re right. I’m sorry for today. We will buy better tea in the future!” Maurice said while still maintaining the smile on his face.

From where he stood, the Shanahans were wealthy people. It was an honor and a blessing for his family when Diane was willing to marry Severin and also gave birth to such a wonderful daughter.

Undoubtedly, Maurice and Judith were afraid to offend when Diane’s family came to visit. That was why they had been trying to be nice and accommodating.

“Mom. Let’s cut the corner and tell me why are you guys looking for me. I’m sure there must be something or else I don’t think you will ever come looking for me!” Diane said.

The Shanahans had been ruthless and cruel to Diane during the past few years. She was a victim of their cruelty. Her father, William, was the only one who would secretly give money to her over the years. He was scared Felicia and Megan would find out and had been using his personal money that he kept secretly.

On the contrary, Felicia and Megan persuaded Diane to have an abortion in the first few months she got kicked out of the house. When the baby was born, they never visited her. That was why the way Diane talked to her mother was less respectful and loving.
