Lillian was at a complete loss for words.
What could she even say here?
Would he like it?
Lillian seriously did not know the answer to that.
"...Irene. Do you not think a ring is a bit too much…?"
"Huh…? Really?"
Her face immediately dulled with sadness.
Lillian saw it and quickly waved her hands.
"No, no, I mean. Look! A ring is usually something you would give when you have already spent quite a long time with your partner. Otherwise, they might think you are rushing things a little too fast."
Irene quietly closed the lid of the box.
"...Is that so?"
Her face looked visibly disappointed now.
'Oh no. Did I mess this up?' Irene thought to herself.
She had been so sure that Leon would like it, because at the shop, she had seen plenty of girls buying rings for their partners, and they had all seemed so delighted about it. She had even done a lot of research herself just to find the right one for him.
"What do I do now? I have nothing else to give him… oh no…"
