Semua Bab MY FIRST LOVE: Bab 151 - Bab 160

** A Promise in the Garden**The days in Port Haven settled into a gentle rhythm, marked by the turning of the leaves and the gradual approach of winter. Each morning, Lillian and Nicholas would wake early, sip coffee by the window, and talk about the dreams they had for the future. They had created a home filled with small rituals and shared moments, and every day felt like a celebration of the life they had fought so hard to build.One chilly afternoon, Lillian was in the garden, pruning the last of the autumn roses before the frost arrived. She wore a thick sweater, her cheeks pink from the cold, as she carefully tended to each plant, speaking softly to them as she worked. Nicholas watched her from the doorway, a smile tugging at his lips. There was a softness in his eyes, a quiet awe, as he observed the woman he loved bringing so much care and life to their little home.After a moment, he walked over, wrapping his arms around her from behind and pulling her close. She laughed, lea

**A Life in Bloom**The wedding day was a blur of laughter, love, and tender moments that Lillian and Nicholas would hold close to their hearts forever. Standing under the arbor they had built together, surrounded by friends who had become family, they exchanged vows with the setting sun casting a golden glow over the garden. The air was thick with the scent of roses and hydrangeas, and the entire world seemed to pause, honoring the love they had worked so hard to nurture.As they spoke their vows, tears glistened in the eyes of their guests. Samuel, the old baker who had been one of their first friends in Port Haven, dabbed at his eyes with a handkerchief, muttering something about "dust in the air" as he smiled at the newlyweds. Clara, their neighbor with the prized rose bush, had arranged a beautiful bouquet for Lillian, filled with roses from her own garden. The small community that had welcomed them so warmly was there, their presence a testament to the life Lillian and Nicholas

** A Season of Joy**The bakery had become an anchor in Port Haven, a place where locals gathered not only for the warm pastries and rich coffee but also for the sense of community that Lillian and Nicholas had nurtured. Every morning, as the sun rose over the harbor, they would unlock the doors and prepare to welcome the people who had come to feel like family.As the seasons changed, Harbor Hearth Bakery took on a life of its own. In the spring, Lillian filled the café tables with vases of wildflowers she picked from the fields outside town, their bright colors spilling over the edges of the tables. In the summer, Nicholas introduced a line of cool lemon tarts and berry cobblers, each bite filled with the taste of sunshine. Autumn brought spiced pumpkin breads and hot apple cider, and by winter, the bakery was decorated with garlands of evergreen branches and little twinkling lights.One chilly December morning, as Lillian and Nicholas prepared for the day, they noticed a line of pe

**New Beginnings**The seasons shifted once again, ushering in the soft warmth of late spring as Port Haven continued to bloom with life and energy. Lillian and Nicholas had settled into a beautiful rhythm at their home, tending the garden, managing the greenhouse, and running the occasional farmer’s market that had become a cherished event for the townsfolk.One morning, as Lillian stepped out into the garden, she noticed Nicholas already busy, adjusting a new set of vines along the trellis. His hands were gentle but sure as he worked, and he looked up with a bright smile when he saw her approaching.“Good morning, Lil,” he said, giving her a quick kiss. “I’ve got a surprise for you.”Curious, Lillian followed Nicholas over to the greenhouse. He opened the door, revealing a small corner he’d carefully cleared and organized. There, sitting on a handmade table, were delicate glass jars filled with various flower seeds from all over their garden—a collection of everything they’d grown a

** A New Chapter**With the quiet chill of late autumn settling into Port Haven, Lillian and Nicholas found themselves in a reflective mood. The days were getting shorter, and there was a peaceful calm in the air as their garden prepared for its winter slumber. The months had passed swiftly, each season bringing its own beauty, growth, and challenges, but this time of year always felt like a reminder to pause and appreciate how far they’d come.In the bakery, Nicholas was putting the finishing touches on a batch of warm apple pastries, the aroma filling every corner. Lillian sat at one of the tables near the window, staring out at the leaves as they drifted slowly from the trees, thinking about the many memories they had created here. Their lives had become intertwined with those of the people around them, the roots of their relationships deepening as they built a future together.Just then, the bakery bell chimed, breaking Lillian from her thoughts. She looked up to see Emma and her
