Life After Prison by Silencieux novel 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 concerns. 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 piece 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.
