Severin gave it a little thought before finally deciding to walk up to the door and knock on it.

“Who is it?” The beautiful woman frowned when she heard the knock on the door and immediately walked over. She looked carefully at Severin and seemed to be a little lost in thought.

“Hi, may I ask who are you?” Severin asked in a serious tone as he stared at the flawlessly beautiful woman in front of her.

“I’m the one who should be asking you that question. You’re the one who came to me, after all.” The woman smiled and folded her arms. Mere words could not describe just how beautiful that smile was.

Severin frowned and said, “Oh, my name is Severin Feuillet. I’d like to know who you are and why you’re helping my parents by giving them money every month. You call yourself a friend of mine, but I don’t really remember having someone like you as a friend!” He had this feeling at the back of his mind that the woman in front of him was a little familiar, just that he could not remember who she was. For that reason, he decided to ask her once and for and get to the bottom of it. Perhaps she could be his high school cla*smate or something of the sort. Hence, it would be understandable for him not to recognize her since they had not met each other for several years already.

When the beautiful woman in front of him heard that his name was Severin, the smile on her face froze instantly.

There seemed to be a kind of burning anger in her eyes, for they started turning red as tears began to well up in her eye sockets.

In the end, the woman finally closed her eyes, exhaled heavily, and controlled her emotions before opening her eyes again. She pushed Severin back, walked out of the house, and said to Selene inside, “Could you excuse me for a bit, sweetie? I need to talk to this man.” She closed the door soon after.
