Chapter 124: Sleeping Under The Sun
True to its name, Giardino Incantato charmed Leslie with its spectacular garden. As if artists meticulously crafted the grassland, the detailed arrangement of the vibrant blooming flowers and green shrubs painted a picturesque scene.
Hovering on the stone pathway in the front garden, Leslie threw her eyes to the two-story private villa. The earthy-tone building adorned rustic yet refined architecture, exuding timeless elegance in this city rich with history.
"It’s so surreal," whispered Leslie under her breath, joy flickering in her eyes, "I wonder how the outside is."
