Chapter 1096


    Estelle only told Jonathan after getting in the car, “You don’t have to keep me tied to you, you know.”


    “You said you’re not into me, so I’ve got to make the most of every moment we have together to get


    you to change your mind.” Jonathan leaned closer, murmuring, “Unless you say you love me, I won’t let


    you off the hook”


    The evening sun glinted in his eyes, and they were so close that Estelle could see her own reflection in


    them. She stared right back at him, then suddenly burst intoughter,


    “How long are you willing to wait?”


    “Let’s find out!”


    “Alright then, let’s find out!”


    The ecological park was a sight to behold. The tour bus first passed through a primeval forest. The


    forest was dense with towering trees that reached up into the sky, while the undergrowth beneath them


    was neatly trimmed. Visitors could step off the bus at any time to walk on the clean grass and take a


    stroll in the forest.


    The tall trees shielded them from the summer heat. The forest air was humid and fresh, reminiscent of


    early spring.


    “Look, there’s a herd of deer!”


    “And giraffes!”


    “Oh wow, there are wild horses over there!”


    The visitors’ excited exmations followed one after another. Estelle looked into the forest and sure


    enough, spotted a herd of deer. The deer, upon seeing the people and cars, were not afraid, but


    curiously stopped to gaze back.

    The forest was free of carnivorous animals, home only to these endearing herbivores.


    Listening to the birdsong and observing the wildlife so close by gave one a true sense of reconnecting


    with nature.


    Jane got the bus to stop and ran after a squirrel. An alpaca walked up behind her, stuck its head over


    her shoulder to get at the snacks in her hand. This startled her, and she dropped the snacks and ran,


    causing everyone else to burst intoughter.


    Jonathan asked Estelle, “Wanna get off the bus?”


    After a moment’s consideration, Estelle shook her head, “Nah, it’s good.”


    The bus continued on its journey, through the primeval forest, the tropical nt area, and an avenue


    lined with centuries-old ginkgo trees…


    As dusk fell, the twilight painted everything a golden hue. The air was fresh, the temperature


    in the essence of nature.


    Estelle sat quietly on the bus, taking in the beautiful scenery. The stress she had been feeling seemed


    to vanish, and she felt incredibly rxed!


    Jonathan took her hand. In the twilight, his handsome features even more striking, his eyes full of


    tenderness. He kept looking at her, “Feeling better now?”


    Estelle didn’t answer, but she didn’t pull her hand away either.


    Jonathan spread his palm and entwined his fingers with hers, leaning back in a rxed manner. He


    seemed at ease, but there was a hint of tension in his eyes that was almost imperceptible.


    The bus moved on in the fading light, heading towards thewn where a bonfire party was about to


    begin.


    Thewn was surrounded by a cluster of white and blue buildings, including a vi rest area, a corridor


    restaurant, and a multi-purpose gym.


    In the middle of thewn, a massive bonfire was set, surrounded by long tables covered with exquisite


    tablecloths andden with various foods, red wine, and fruits.


    Further on, a huge screen was ying a movie.


    Bonfire, food, wine, movie, and a lively crowd… a midnight party was about to kick off.
