"Mr. Wulricht, we shall be on our way. Goodbye." Marcus saw the look on Frederick's face and knew something must have happened.
"Goodbye, Mr. Marcus!"
By now, Wuhlricht guessed Gilda must have told Frederick what happened.
Otherwise, Frederick would not have said that. He came to ask Gilda to marry him, and he had prepared the gift too. Nothing else would have made him change his mind except for that.
Wuhlricht sent them off politely while feeling embarrassed. However, he despised Frederick. Gilda did not lose her virginity on purpose. It was done under the condition that her life was in danger. What a shock to see Frederick could not understand it.
It just proved that he did not love Gilda as much as he claimed.
"I'll go look for Gilda," Severin said as he was afraid Gilda would do something bad to herself.
Wuhlrict nodded and sighed heavily.
The Second Elder was stunned and did not know what just happened.
The fact that Frederick could not accept it just meant he did not love Gilda at all. Otherwise, he would not blame Gilda.
"Severin? Why are you here?"
Gilda pretended to be strong and stood up when she saw Severin. She tried hard to force a smile on her face, but her voice was actually trembling.
"Hey, Frederick flew back and told everyone that you're not worthy to be his wife. Then he and the others just left. I did not know what happened, but if you feel like crying, don't hold it back. That will make you feel better, and you can use that to say goodbye to the past," Severin said.
