Chapter 1709

Sheila’s words made Gilda blush again, but the latter felt a tiny little glimmer of happiness in her heart. Gilda had developed feelings for Severin and wanted to try dating him. Her father seemed to think highly of Severin, and that was likely the reason he asked her to join them and bring him a gift. It was a clear sign that her father supported the idea of her being with Severin. Gilda, however, had her concems. She was worried that Severin’s three wives might not like her, or worse, resent her and bar her from joining their group. Nonetheless, her fears were allayed after she sensed their receptivity toward her. None of them seemed to dislike her in any way, so she felt that there was a good chance for her to be welcomed into their circle.

Severin then kindly cut another large plece of barbecued meat and placed it on Gilda’s plate. He smiled at her and said, “Have some more. Don’t mind Sheila’s teasing She’s always like that.”

“I don’t mind it at all.” Gilda nodded appreciatively and continued eating.

Sheila lifted her glass and encouraged everyone to have a good time. “Cheers, everyone! A good glass of wine is the perfect complement to a delicious meal of meat.”

Gilda relished the atmosphere and joined in the toast, raising her small bottle of wine too. After everyone clinked their bottles, she took a hearty sip

Meanwhile, Wuhlricht paced in the yard while waiting for Gilda’s return. He was worried that Gilda might return as soon as she handed Severin the gift. However, Gilda had not returned after an hour, and a little smile appeared on Wuhlricht’s face. She must have had plenty to talk about with Severin if they spent an hour with each other. novelbin

Then, another hour passed. Wuhlricht’s smile soon turned into a frown. “Why is she taking so long? Are they having such a good time with each other?”

Another hour went by before Gilda was spotted flying back from the mountain

“What took you so long?” Wuhlicht approached her immediately. He noted the scent of alcohol on her and was concerned, as Gilda did not usually drink much. He was worried that she might not have fully healed from her previous relationship with Frederick, and that she was merely putting on a forced smile for him all along. “Were you drinking? You don’t usually drink” Gilda explained, “You have no idea how delicious Severin’s barbecued meat is, Dad It’s amazing! They were having a barbecue when I arrived, so I joined them. The food was so irresistible that I couldn’t stop eating! We had a wonderful time, and I had some drinks with them. By the way, Severin said he’d be going alone to send the treasure home. Since I hadn’t left the sect for a long time, I decided to accompany him for the short trip. He’ll come pick me up tomorrow moming.

Wahlricht was a little surprised to see such a genuine smile on Gilda’s face. It had been a long time since he saw such a bright

smile.

“Haha, that’s great! You should get some rest now then. I’ll have to try Severin’s barbecue one day to see what all the fuss is about,” Wuhlricht said with a smile.

“You should definitely try it,” Gilda said. “You won’t want to miss out.”
