Bert had arranged lunch with great thoughtfulness. He took into account Lilian's needs as a pregnant woman, as well as the fact that Renata was still recovering from a serious illness. The dishes he ordered were carefully chosen, and when the food was served, Bert introduced each dish one by one—especially pointing out which ones were suitable for Renata, emphasizing them in particular.
His attentiveness made Renata look at him twice.
After lunch, Lilian dragged them around for a bit more shopping before the four of them finally headed home.
Naturally, Bert drove Catherine and Renata back first, then took Lilian with him as he left. Once Catherine and Renata were home, Renata couldn't help but sigh with admiration.
"That young lady from Burg Eltz has such a lovely personality—no trace of arrogance at all. She's really very likable."
