Wuhlricht then reached for the teacup and continued to sip his tea.

"Oh, we're together now. I enjoyed my time with him these past few days, and I'm starting to like him even

Severin proposed, "By the way, Gilda's dad says that he wants to try some of my barbecued meat. It's past

noon already, so let's make our way to town to get some fresh food. We'll have some barbecue for dinner

with him and Gilda. It's time I show him my cooking skills."

Selene's eyes lit up when she heard that. "Are we having barbecue again tonight? Hooray for barbecue!" Everyone was amused to see how excited she was for dinner.
