Life After Prison by Silencieux novel Chapter 1703

In response, Severin smiled and said, "Narrow-minded people like her won't go far in the future."

"Well then, I shall excuse myself now." Wuhlricht nodded and quickly departed.

Severin did not expect his three wives to show up just moments after Wuhlricht left.

"Aren't you three supposed to be training?" Severin asked in surprise. He could not help but feel as though they had planned to come in at that moment.

Sheila smiled and explained, "We were done for the day, and we were just about to chat with each other in the next room when we heard the sect leader paying you a visit. We were curious, so we couldn't help ourselves from listening in on the conversation."

Severin was speechless for a moment and his expression soured a little. "Don't you think it's a little rude to be eavesdropping on our conversation?"

"Well, we couldn't help it! And you two were being pretty loud. We would've overheard you even if we didn't want to," Sofia said.

Diane then added, "We didn't expect the conversation to revolve around marrying Gilda. We didn't know you liked her either. Don't worry, though. We all think that Gilda is a good person."

"We all sympathized a lot with Gilda," Sheila pointed out. "She lost her first time to a stranger and was abandoned by the man she deeply loved. Her vile fiance even went so far as to spread malicious slander about her. We all thought it would be wonderful if she could find a good man to treat her well, and now that man has finally shown up!"

"Don't worry," Sofia encouraged. "You'll succeed in winning her heart if you do it the right way."

Severin smiled wryly and revealed at last, "That's not what I meant. What I meant to say was that I am the person who took Gilda's first time..."

"It was you?!" Their eyes widened in disbelief when they heard that. Sheila—in particular—had been prepared to confront the perpetrator responsible for Gilda's ordeal if she ever found out who it was. In a shocking turn of events, that man was none other than Severin—her husband.

Sofia, too, exclaimed in surprise. "You can't be serious. Was it really you?"
