Chapter 74 A New Start (3)

• Bathed in the soft glow of the afternoon sun, Lavinia and Karl stood hand in hand, surveying the last of the many houses they had visited that day. This one, however, was different. It seemed to leap straight out of Lavinia’s dreams – a majestic house nestled beside a tranquil river, with a lush forest standing guard in the background.
• "What do you think of this house, my love?" Karl asked, his voice filled with anticipation. He placed his arms around her waist from behind, and the two of them looked at each other closely as they took in the expansive garden that was unfolding in front of them, which led to the tranquil river.
• Lavinia's eyes sparkled with amazement as she absorbed every detail of the house – its grandeur and the fairy-tale setting. "Karl, this isn't just a house, it's a palace from my dreams. It's almost surreal in its beauty," A mixture of astonishment and incredulity could be heard in her voice as she exclaimed.
