Chapter 200 - Day at the cabin (1/2)

As everyone got busy preparing for the cabin, Felix and Aiden were left alone in the dining room.

”I think they forgot about us”, Aiden sighed.

Felix just shook his head and continued sipping coffee. He had a mix of emotions, but the strongest one which overshadowed everything was a relief seeing that Sophia seems to be fine. Or at least much better than last night.

After few minutes, Sarah rushed inside and pulled Aiden, ”Come to pack some clothes for the day.” She looked at Felix, ”Sophia said that you didn't bring clothes, right? We will grab something for you on the way. Sophia is in her room, getting few things.”

Felix didn't plan to stay overnight, so he didn't get any change of clothes previous day when he came to the party. He was happy to hear that Sophia didn't forget about him.

Soon they all got into a black Mercedes Luxury van which has wide leather seats, minibar with a small kitchen, as well as video entertainment.

Edward sat at the driver's seat, but before he could start it, Stella pulled him out of the van. ”Leave kids by themselves. We can take the Jeep.” She turned to her daughters, ”Girls, we are going straight there. You make a stop for Felix and join us.”

…

What they call Cabin is actually a two-story cabin-style luxury villa. Surrounded by the tall trees, it stands magnificent. Rooftop terrace which wraps around the building, offers breathtaking views to the valleys below and mountains in the back.

When Stella and Edward arrived, two older ladies welcomed them. ”Welcome back! If we knew earlier that you are coming, we would get rest of the staff here.”

”It's good to be back, Heidi and Amelia. Don't worry about it. We are here only for the day”, Stella warmly responded.

Heidi and Amelia are Weber sisters. They take care of the property when no one is there. When Hills come for a visit, few more staff members join them.

”Girls are not here?”, Heidi asked.

”They are coming. And two boys as well.”, Stella smiled.

Weber sisters exchanged glances but didn't ask anything further. They are aware that Hills value privacy and know that not asking too much and doing your job means you get to keep it.

...

JoAnna was driving the van, while Sarah, Aiden, Sophia and Felix were in the back. The seats rotate, so four of them faced each other, and played card games on an extendable table during one-hour long trip.

Sarah wanted to ask Sophia how she is doing, but she didn't get a chance to talk with her in private. And she looked fine, so Sarah was more at ease.

Everyone wanted to know how Sophia is doing, but they were all reluctant that by asking she might remember things again. She didn't look good previous night. Who would?
