Chapter 338: The Reunion 2
Lara had asked the two knights and their guards to carry the trunks loaded with their gifts. The first one to get their gifts were of course the twins. Ivan received a wooden sword and Ivy received a ruler-tall wooden doll dressed with a real princess dress.
The twins squeaked with delight and left the living room to admire their gifts outside.
After distributing the gifts to the Mendel family, Lara used the sidecar to transport the gifts and the machineries they brought from the capital to the back of the Mendel estate where the Gabriella ladies were stationed.
Of course, Jethru and Samuel were competing who would be the driving the strange vehicle, and in the end they each got to drive their own, while Lara, Reya and Freya walked behind them.
When the ladies learned that Lara had returned, they wanted to go to the main house but they were shy so in the end, they waited for Lara to come to the multi-purpose hall.
Lara surveyed the six row houses that served as the dwelling of the people she helped. The empty front yard were now blooming with beautiful flowers and far beyond, sections of the bamboo fences had been converted into bricks. And lining up the walls, was her vertical herbal garden.
"I didn’t know that we can plant like that." Lady Freya pointed to the green wall from afar.
"That is called vertical gardening mother." Lara replied, a glint of pride appeared on her eyes.
Freya regarded her daughter in a new light. She then cast a glance to the white-haired man who has already arrived at the multipurpose hall where a few people huddled looking excitedly at the three women walking their way.
"Lara, Reya," Thalia couldn’t resist any more. She ran toward Lara and held her in a quick tight embrace before moving to Reya.
The sisters, Zeeta and Leah were a bit shy but when they saw the more reserved Mona threw herself into the arms of Lara, they followed suit.
