The Birthday Lunch

At exactly 1 pm, the long-awaited Lauriel finally arrived. He went straight to the garden to meet Aleksis and hugged his favorite child once he found her standing next to Alaric while arranging flowers on the tables.

"Father, you have arrived!" Aleksis exclaimed while responding to Lauriel's hug warmly.

"I'm not late, aren't I?" Lauriel asked, smiling, and ruffling her hair.

"Ahaha ... the event will not start without you, Father," Aleksis replied while kissing her father inlaw's cheeks. "What gift do you bring for me?"

Since she was little, Lauriel had never forgotten Aleksis' birthday and always gave her memorable gifts.
