The atmosphere was bright that morning.
After doing her morning yoga routine, Velina immediately took a shower and when she entered the wardrobe and picked out the clothes she was going to wear that day, her gaze was fixed on her cabin suitcase.
She remembered that she had not had time to undone her suitcase since she returned home.
She then immediately opened the suitcase, took out all of her dirty clothes, when a box caught her attention.
All of a sudden, she remembered that the content of the box was a birthday present for her grandfather.
She immediately patted her forehead for her stupidity.
"Duh! I'm so, so stupid!" In actuality, Velina intended to give the birthday present to her grandfather on the night of the celebration, but because of the infiltration incident, she forgot about the gift.
Moreover, no one reminded her of that.
With an uneasy feeling, Velina immediately put on her clothes, and shortly afterward she then went down to the ground floor, looking for her grandfather.
After searching for his grandfather all over the house, she then found out that her grandfather was in the greenhouse.
The greenhouse that they had was large, resembling a giant dome.
Velina saw her grandfather cut off the ends of a flowering plant while humming a song.
At first, Velina had intended to surprise her grandfather from behind, but she was also worried that her grandfather would have a heart attack, so she decided to abandon the idea.
"Eyang!" Velina approached him while smiling brightly.
Velina's grandfather smiled broadly at her as he turned around.
"Nana! Ciao bella! Bongiorno!" He greeted her with his perfect Italian accent.
'Nana! Hey, beautiful! Good morning!'.
Velina laughed at him.
Her grandfather looked very happy this morning.
Indeed, it was a great day.
The scent of Japanese cherry and cherry blossoms in full bloom emanated from the Velina tree. She stared at the tree in awe. The big tree added to the beauty of the greenhouse.
Her grandfather gifted the tree for her, but it seems, he loves and cares for the tree more than she did.
She then took out a box from the pocket of her pants.
"Eyang, I'm so sorry, I forgot to give this gift for Eyang's birthday!" She said, looking full of regret.
Did not have the heart to see Velina's pained face, her grandfather immediately pinched her nose.
"Duh! It's okay! Eyang is so rich already!! Hahahaha!" He replied, tried to make Velina feel better.
However, he was obviously very happy to receive a present from his granddaughter, even though he had not opened it yet.
Velina then helped him to open the box.
Velina's gift for her grandfather was a bracelet made of a red rope, with a pendulum stone made of super fine jade.
Felt Excited about the present, Nico Marcello immediately put the bracelet on his wrist.
The jade bracelet felt cold when it touched the skin.
"This jade was believed to improve blood circulation and improve digestion! Oh yes, I bought it from Ah Hong's shop! Eyang like it, did not he?" Velina asked while explaining the benefits of the stone to him.
Nico Marcello did not know whether to laugh or cry at Velina's words.
The 'Ah Hong shop' that Velina was referring to was the largest luxury boutique in Bangkok that specialized only in the finest quality gemstone jewelry.
In the end, he could only nod his head while stroking Velina's head affectionately.
After they chatted for a bit and Velina helped her grandfather in the garden, they returned to the house for lunch.
Velina's smile grew when she saw two figures sitting in the living room.
"Jun! Jena!" Velina immediately rushed over to embrace them.
They chatted while waiting for lunch to be served.
It was Sunday.
Everyone was at home for lunch together.
Before long, everyone came to the dining table after they briefly paused their respective business.
Nico Marcello, sat in the chair designated for the head of the family, while her Father and Marino sat on the right and left sides of Nico Marcello.
Velina and Nadine sat face to face, while Jun sat next to Velina and Jena sat next to Nadine.
The luncheon was simple.
No one was allowed to talk about business while they were at the dining table.
They joke around while finishing their lunch which tasted really good.
After they finished their lunch, Nico said, "Since we're so rarely able to get together like this, let's celebrate!" Nico called the waiter, telling him to get a few bottles of wine from their wine cellar.
The bottles of wine come from their organic winery in Alsace, France. Because Nico loved all kinds of champagne and wine, he ended up buying a winery in Alsace.
They were all stared at each other.
They knew that once Nico touched wine, he would never stop drinking.
Nico had a habit of always sipping wine while they chatted.
He could finish a bottle of wine in an instant, unintentionally.
Franco shook his head, "it's okay, we're at home, Nothing will happen!" he said, without knowing the incident that took place on Nico's birthday at his own house.
Velina smiled, "Of course! I also want to break the news for all of you!" she replied, smiling mysteriously.
Velina waited patiently for the maids to fill all of their wine glasses.
After making sure that everyone had their wine glasses, she raised her glass, "let's have a toast to celebrate my return!" she said, raised her hand high.
Everyone smiled happily, as well as raised their wine glasses up high.
"For Velina's return!" said her father happily.
"For my next successor!" Nico laughed, happy that Velina finally decided to go home to be the successor of his business.
"Yay! I finally have a new toy!" exclaimed Marino.
"Welcome back, sis!" Said Nadine.
"For the success of sister Nana in Vanesia!" exclaimed Jun excitedly.
"I'll just go with it!" Jena joined in responding.
Velina felt very happy to see the reaction of her entire family.
She looked at them one by one, still with her mysterious smile.
"Alright! My dear family, let's celebrate my decision to go home!" She exclaimed excitedly.
"Cheers!" Everyone clinked their own wine glasses.
They then took a sip of wine from their glasses at the same time.
"To become an actress!" Velina continued suddenly, almost making them all suddenly choke on the wine they were drinking.
