Overlooking The Beautiful Valley

"Sorry, only one adult horse can be used today. The others are still in the meadow," Nicolae said. He stretched out his hand and helped Aleksis to get on the back of the horse.

"It is okay." Aleksis swiftly jumped up. A moment later, she was sitting elegantly in front of Nicolae. "You hold the picnic basket, let me handle the horse."

"Hmm ..." Nicolae only hummed. He held the picnic basket in his right hand while his left hand handed the rein to Aleksis. Then he waved to the children before heading towards the Butterfly Hill.

"You are very good at riding a horse," complimented Nicolae along the way.

"Ahaha ... thank you. Uncle Rory taught me."

They did not say much after. Aleksis realized it had been a long time since she had gone horseback riding. It had also been a while since she had fun without her two children.
