Reinhard found Wilia standing in the middle of the garden. He immediately approached Ulfang who was still following him because Ulfang was still holding Liliya's dress. Without further ado, Reinhard headed for Liliya and handed over the dress.
"Liliya ... happy birthday!" he said breathlessly. He handed her a bag containing the dress.
"Th-thank you. I didn't expect it. You surprised me," said Liliya, smiling shyly.
"I picked the best one for you. If you don't like the color, I can find another one."
"You don't have to bother, Reinhard. This is enough."
Reinhard was relieved that he still had time to give a gift on Liliya's birthday. He realized he had left Wilia just like that, Wilia must be angry about that. Hence, Reinhard wanted to apologize to Wilia later.
"If I may, I want you to wear it at the prom night later," Reinhard asked, bowing slightly.
"Of course. I'll wear it," Liliya replied cheerfully. She was so excited and looking forward to the dance.
