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 more now," Gilda said as she sat on the swing and recalled her time with Severin. A sweet smile graced her lips as she reminisced about the moments that they shared.
Wuhlricht was so surprised by her revelation that he spurted out his tea. He asked in bewilderment, "You're already together? I'm clearly behind the times here."
Gilda chuckled at her father's jaw-dropped reaction. "Haha!"
Meanwhile, Diane and the others had recently concluded their training and were in the process of stabilizing their levels of attainment. When Severin returned, they all gathered around him with Selene.
"You're finally back!" Diane said.
Sheila then asked, "So, did anything happen when you and Gilda went out alone?"
Severin replied as calmly as he could, "No, nothing happened. We just went to South Link City and returned to the sect after delivering the item to Megan."
Sheila sighed and rebuked him for his stubbornness. "You're kidding, right? I can't believe you're such a numbskull! This is a perfect opportunity to spend some alone time with her. Couldn't you have taken the initiative to take your relationship to the next step?"
