Archie was preoccupied with the luggage, as Natalie dashed in with a backpack.
The instant she stepped into the vegetable-filled yard, she was completely captivated.
She had read about this place, and she knew that they grew their own veggies here, and if they were interested, they could pick and eat them as well, just like a real farmer.
They could buy meat and spices from the local market.
She had been living a lavish life with Archie, and it was nice to experience life as a regular couple every now and again.
Archie, who was standing behind her, was moved by her happiness. He sped up and carried their belongings into the home.
"Archie, it's lovely here. Hurry in and have a look. You will definitely love it."
Natalia went inside and hurried back out, clutching his arm, to tell him what she saw.
Archie took a glance about – it was modest but gave the impression of living in solitude – and he nodded to her.
They carried their belongings into the two-story villa with quite some history.
Natalia stepped outdoors after walking around the house. She was overjoyed to discover a flower garden there.
"The owner should be someone who enjoys his life."
She stated this as she dashed down the path to have a better look at the colorful flowers in the garden.
Archie, on the other hand, walked out with two glasses of water and handed one to her.
"Our garden at home has more flowers than this one, but you've never claimed I'm someone who enjoys my life."
Natalia gave him a sidelong glance, saying, "It's different."
"You did not grow those flowers. Mrs. Dottie asked a gardener to take care of them. You will only glance at them when you are in a good mood and will disregard them most of the time. So, it's completely different, okay?"
Archie realized she was correct and didn't argue.
"Hungry? Let's go for a walk and get something to eat."
"Okay." Natalia gave a nod.
Natalia prepared a couple t-shirt to change the way he dressed and let his CEO husband feel the satisfaction of being a typical couple.
Archie came out shortly after changing. He appeared more relaxed and cheerful wearing a casual white t-shirt. Natalia wore the same style but in a smaller size. She wore her hair in a bun, and they looked like a great match.
Archie's eyes sparkled as he looked at her, and they went out hand in hand.
They decided to have a look and eat anything they wanted along the way. Soon after, they came into a delicate tiny bistro not far from the farmhouse.
The street was rather quiet because there were few people at this time of day, but the scenery was lovely and the atmosphere was pleasant.
They walked in and sat down.
The owners were a couple in their thirties. They looked quite young with a six-year-old son.
They were also from Ambario but moved here after falling in love with the place. They made a living by running an Ambario bistro.
