Will You Accompany Me?

Lilia continued to stare at Jean's back until the man's figure disappeared behind the door. Only then did she turn her gaze to Irene. The older woman was staring out the window as if longing for something. 

When Irene noticed Lilia's gaze, she immediately put down the napkin in her hand. "The weather outside still looks a little cloudy, but will you accompany me for a walk in the park?" she asked.

"Of course, Sister Irene." Lilia agreed with a nod. "I also want to see the Widjaya Family's garden."

The two of them then exited the main house and started walking along a path that led them around the garden. Lilia looked around with great interest. The trees and flowers in the garden seemed like it had been treated with great care. Even though the weather had gotten colder lately, the plants there still looked healthy.
