Gilda frowned when she looked at the barbecue. “Greasy food isn’t really my thing ”


    Diane encouraged her, “Give it a try. You’ll regret it for the rest of your life if you don’t! His barbecued


    meat is out of this world. It’s the best you’ll ever have!”


    She added, “Some people said the same thing as you did in the past, but they couldn’t stop eating


    after taking the first bite. Don’t you think the aroma itself is mouthwatering?”


    Gilda felt that they were being a bit over the top with the way they described Severin’s cooking, but she


    eventually decided that there was no harm in trying it. As soon as she took a small bite, she


    immediately admitted, “You’re right! This… this is amazing!”


    Following that first bite, she continued to eat and savor the delicious barbecued meat that melted in her


    mouth. “The meat is super delicious!”


    She handed Gilda some wine and said, “Have a drink. We have plenty of fine wine here too.”


    “Don’t be shy, Miss Gilda!” Selene said in between mouthfuls of meat. “We bought loads and loads of


    spirit beast meat to


    barbecue.”


    Gilda felt a growing fondness for Selene. She smiled warmly at the little girl and said, “Okay! I eat some


    more! This barbecued meat is just so delicious. I’ve never had anything like it before.”


    Selene took pride in her father’s cooking, boasting, “It’s my dad’s specialty. Even Mommy She, my


    second mommy, can’t master it just yet


    She rolled her eyes yfully at Selene and said, “I’m still learning, Selene. It isn’t easy to learn the


    craft!


    That heartwarming exchange left made Gilda chuckle. “Ah, so you’re her second mother.”


    “Yes,” She affirmed. “I’m her second mother, while Sofia is her third mother. You’ll be the fourth if you


    marry Severin.”


    Gilda blushed when she heard that boldment. She, after all, had a knack for speaking her mind.


    Sofia then seemed to y along. “What are you talking about, She? You’re making her blush!”


    She then turned to Gilda and said, “I hope you don’t get upset by what I said, Gilda. I sometimes say


    stuff without thinking. and only realizeter on that I might have misspoken.”


    Diane admonished her, saying, “What were you thinking when you made that remark? Gilda is the sect


    leader’s daughter! You shouldn’t make that sort of joke.”


    Gilda reassured them, “It’s fine. I’m not offended. Besides, I’m not one to hold grudges anyway. I enjoy


    the camaraderie and close rtionship you share with each other. I’m a little jealous of how well the


    three of you get along with each other!”

    She then deliberately made another casual remark, “There’s nothing to be jealous about! You can


    be one of us too!” Then, she immediately covered her mouth and apologized, as if she realized


    her gaffe. “Sorry about that,”
