Lemira's expression was cool, indifferent, a demeanor that weighed heavily on Alaric's heart. Just moments ago, Alaric was brimming with confidence, but now, doubt was creeping in. He had bent over backwards to apologize and make amends, thinking surely Lemira could see his intentions.

He had never lowered himself like this for anyone since young! Lemira was the first!

Evelina seized the opportunity to chip in, "Yeah, Lemmy, Alaric went all out preparing today's dinner. You must see his sincere efforts to make amends."

Alaric's expression turned slightly awkward, "Lemira, whatever you ask for, I can make it happen."

Lemira raised an eyebrow, her voice laced with a hint of sarcasm, "My request is simple."
