Rogan bought a couple of cars, and they were ready-made cars that were only worth a couple hundred thousand.
Carla thanked Brandy before he left with his subordinates.
Freda had a few of her subordinates babysit the triplets and take care of their meals. Everyone else started working on fixing the courtyard.
The furniture and appliances in the villa were all in good shape. The place was simpler and smaller than the one they used to live in, but the pleasant memories Carla made there created a sense of warmth.
Carla changed out of her expensive outfit and put on some comfortable clothes. After that, she started working on the fountain and the flowers in the courtyard.
The kids were chasing each other and playing at the side while Rogan was busy setting everything up. Freda, Ilali, and the others hung out with Carla.
That was a heartwarming moment.
When the night fell, the kids became weary, so the bodyguards put the kids to bed.
Carla got the goldfishes that Rogan had just bought and released them in the fountain that was recently fixed. A pleasant grin crept up on Carla's lips when she saw how the goldfishes were swimming happily in there. She had Rogan turn the lights brighter and continued working on the flowerbeds after that.
"It's late, so let's work on this tomorrow. I'm sure you're tired, " advised Freda in a concerned tone.
"I can't sleep anyway, so working on something actually helps."
Carla wiped the sweat off of her forehead before she continued weeding the flower bed.
"Let me help you, " offered Freda. She had crouched down and was ready to help.
"No, there's no need for that, " halted Carla right away, "These flowers are really sensitive. The slightest mishap would cause them to wither."
"I'm heartbroken seeing how you're busying away all on your own, " said Freda as she helped Carla wipe her sweat away.
"I'm not working. It's relaxing for me, " said Carla as she dug into the earth, "Please get in touch with Hapilia and ask her where Dr. Feroma is. If he's still in Aymo City, we'll visit them in a few days."
"Okay, I'll do that right away, " replied Freda. She went to call Hapilia immediately after.
"Ms. Lierger…" said Rogan. She seemed a little hesitant to finish her sentence, though.
"We have enough people working in the courtyard, so you are free to leave. You're not allowed to stay out overnight, though. Be back before one o'clock in the morning, " informed Carla, who knew what Rogan was thinking.
"Understood. Thank you, Ms. Lierger, " said Rogan who was surprised and delighted.
Bugara never left after he accompanied her over to buy the cars. He had been waiting at the side of the road the entire time.
Rogan didn't feel right asking for some time off, but Carla had already guessed what was going on. The latter even took the initiative to give the former permission to leave.
"Go on now, " said Carla. She tilted her head up and scanned Rogan before suggesting, "And go change into a beautiful outfit."
"Hah, I'm already beautiful enough as I am, " said Rogan.
She hopped away happily and was instinctively faster as she moved. She even hummed a song as she did so.
Tsk! Tsk! Freda had exited the house and saw Rogan skipping away. The former couldn't help teasing, "Geez, I don't remember her ever being so fast in a fight."
"That's how women are when they're in love."
Carla grinned. She saw how happy Rogan and Bugara were together, and that got her delighted.
"I envy them so much, " sighed Freda.
"Benard is comparatively more grounded and tends to think things through more carefully. That is why he isn't as passionate or as direct as Bugara, but it doesn't mean that he doesn't have any feelings for you."
Carla could tell that Freda was disappointed, so she added, "I can tell that he really cares about you."
"Oh, stop making fun of me, " replied Freda shyly.
"Once everything is settled, I will set you both free. Both of you have worked for the Lierger family for years, and it's time you live a life of your choosing, " shared Carla, who had long planned to set the girls free.
"Ms. Lierger, " blurted Freda who instantly got nervous, "I won't leave. I'll stay by your side."
"I won't let you both leave right now, " said Carla while rolling her eyes, "The two of you are my best and most skilled assistants. Hence, I would be lost if you leave now. I was talking about the future."
"I won't leave in the future, either. I will follow you wherever you go and will never leave you in this lifetime, " promised Freda as her eyes reddened with tears.
"You idiot…" replied Carla who was touched by the gesture. She had been lost for some time. Thank the heaven that I have them with me…
