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 into laughter,
“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

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 exclamations 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 into laughter.
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 plant 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 comfortable, and a
gentle breeze made one feel as though every pore was opening up to fully breathe 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

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 relaxed 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 the lawn where a bonfire party was about to begin.
The lawn was surrounded by a cluster of white and blue buildings, including a villa rest area, a corridor restaurant,
and a multi-purpose gym.
In the middle of the lawn, a massive bonfire was set, surrounded by long tables covered with exquisite tablecloths
and laden with various foods, red wine, and fruits.
Further on, a huge screen was playing a movie.
Bonfire, food, wine, movie, and a lively crowd… a midnight party was about to kick off.
