Ronan and Evelyn immediately grasped their intentions upon seeing the array of gifts. They were more than happy to facilitate the connection.

Lynette took Lillian's hand and showered her with compliments. "Lillian, you're becoming more beautiful with each passing day. It's no wonder Steven is lovesick and unable to focus on anything else." Evelyn chimed in with a smile, "Steven is a remarkable young man. Lillian can't stop talking about him."

Lillian interjected, "Mom, what nonsense are you talking about? That's not true."

"You see? She's too shy to admit it," Evelyn teased.

"Indeed. A young lady should be reserved," Lynette added with a knowing smile.
