BXBX NOVEL Chapter 402 - Did You Miss Me?
"No! Madam, that's not it...that" the maid gasped as she breathed hurriedly
"What's wrong with you? What are you in a hurry for?" the lady asked as her frown deepened further
"That...she has returned!" the maid tried to explain
"Who? Who returned?" the lady asked with a frown
"that-" before the maid could say, a familiar voice caused the middle aged lady to stiffen in shocj.
"Hey Gorgeous, did you miss me?" came a cheerful voice from the entrance followed by a young lady who walked in with a pleasant smile on her face.
"Si-Sia?" the middle aged called out in her trembling voice
Walking forward, Sia held the middle aged ladies hand and looked into her eyes before saying playfully "You look as beautiful as you used to be"
Seeing the familiar face, hearing her familiar voice and the familiar playfull behaviour, the middle aged lady could not help but choke on her voice "You finally decided to come?"
"Mm...thanks to brother Kevin" Sia replied with a gentle smile
"It's great that you have thought it trough" coming back to her sense, the lady wiped her tears of and laughed "Looked at me, I must have embarrassed myself" turning to the maid, the lady hurriedly ordered "What are you standing there for? Gather all the chefs. My little daughter has finally returned, we will have a grand feast today"
"Yes madam" the maid nodded her head in excitement before she hurriedly left the hall.
Once the maid left, Sia shook the middle aged ladies hand and said while scratching her head in embarrassment "Uhm gorgeous, Sorry but I did not come alone. I brought my friends along, hope you wouldn't mind?"
"Haha, how can that be? It's good that you brought friends. Natasha will be happy to meet them. Also, you don't have to feel sorry, this is your home and I believe the people you befriend are good people" the lady said before patting her hand gently
"Hehe, it's still my gorgeous who understands me the best" Sia said cheekily
Pinching her nose, the lady laughed "Haha, you and your sweet tongue. Now hurry and introduce me to your friends, I can't wait to meet them"
"Okay, let me call them" Sia said before calling her friends inside.
Seeing five beautiful girls walk in, the middle aged lady smiled and said "Such pretty girls, reminds me of my younger self"
"Gorgeous, has any ever told you that you look like natasha;s sister?"
Flicking her forehead, the middle aged lady sighed helplessly "You and your glib tongue. Be careful not to let your uncle here it or else he is gonna rush back"
Shrugging her shoulder, Sia replied indifferently "Doesn't matter. I'm sure by now that old man must be rushing back in his old car"
Hearing that, the middle aged lady smiled helplessly. Indeed just as Sia expected, the moment she appeared in front of the gate, the security guard had hurriedly reported to the master of the house. The moment Natasha's father learnt about Sia's return, he had dropped all his work and picked his suit to hurry back home incase a certain thief kidnaps his wife.
Back in the house, Sia pulled the middle aged lady and introduced her friends excitedly "Gorgeous, let me introduce them. This is Bookworm Xiao Li, Gentle An Ran, bold Su Yan and..." before Sia could introduce the rest, the lady stopped her and said "You don't have to introduce the rest, I know the rest of the two, especially the fifth one" she laughed causing the fifth one to sulk
Turning to the other three, Sia introduced "guys, this is Natasha's mom, Mrs. Jonas"
"It's nice to meet you Mrs. Jonas" the three greeted uniformly
Waving her hand, Mrs. Jonas stopped them unhurriedly "No need to be soo formal. Sia'a like my daughter, you can just call me aunty"
"aunty" the three called out with a smile
"Such good childrens" Remembering something, Mrs. Johnas laughed and said "Look at me, seeing you all I was soo happy that I forgot the etiqute. Come in, aunty will prepare some snacks for you" Mrs. Johnas said and was about to turn around but was pulled back by Sia.
"No need of the trouble. Gorgeous, where is Sister Natasha? I want to surprise her" Sia said with a smile
Ruffling Sia's hair dotingly, Mrs. Johnas said "She's in her painting room. She will be very happy to see you. Come, let me take you there" Mrs. Johnas said before bringing the few of them to the gazebo that was a few meters away from the mansion.
Not far away from the mansion stood a hexagonal shaped palram gazebo. Around the palram gazebo was bushes, trees, pond, flowers and butterflies fluttering their wings. Through the glass around the gazebo, one could see the refreshing beauty of the garden while having their tea. The scenary here looked especially pleasant when it rained.
This place was the favourite spot for Natasha as this was the only place she could find her peace. Ever since that incident that year, she gradually fell weak and barely went out because of her fear towards men.
Since Natasha loved to paint, Mr. Johnas built this beautiful garden and a gazebo just to make his daughter happy and it looked like it worked.
When the girls reached the garden, they could faintly discern a silhoute of a young women sitting inside the gazebo.
Just seeing her back, they could say that the young women must have been a great beauty. She was sitting with her back towards them as she moved her hand on the paper. Her every moment was gentle yet elegant, bringing out the noble feeling.
Just as the girls were staring at the silhoute, Mrs. Johnas steeped forward to pull the door open before she called out gently "Sweety, looks whose here?"
