Chapter 201
Jonathan sat across from Estelle, captivated by her clear and beautiful eyes. In that moment, he
couldn’t help but imagine how pleasant it would be if they could stay like this forever.
As they savored their meals, the two of them engaged in leisurely conversation. Estelle shared
anecdotes about C City and Serene Summit, her words flowing freely Being in a familiar environment
seemed to have lifted her usual reserve, and she appeared relaxed and cheerful.
Jonathan found this side of Estelle both intriguing and enchanting
He would only occasionally reply to her, mostly just listening to her intently. The food was delicious, and
the atmosphere was elegant.
Although he had been harassed by Old Mr. Jarvis earlier, he didn’t mind given how happy Estelle was.
It took them a good hour to finish their lunch, and Estelle, full and satisfied, asked Jonathan, “You got
any plans for the afternoon?”

“Wow, the surroundings are truly stunning since we arrived here. How about taking a leisurely stroll?”
Estelle suggested with excitement, her eyes gleaming with anticipation
Jonathan nodded in agreement, replying, ‘Absolutely.”
They bid farewell to Old Wade and stepped outside, venturing towards the distant landscape. The
stone paths flanked by trees formed a canopy above them, shielding the sky. Despite its proximity to C
City, it was merely a short ten minute drive away, the foliage serving as a natural barrier between the
tranquil realm they were entering and the bustling urban atmosphere. The stark contrast painted two
distinct worlds.
The two walked side by side. Jonathan wore casual beige clothing, and Estelle wore a beige blouse
and a light blue long skirt, they seemed to complement each other perfectly
Walking for about ten minutes, they reached a wooded park with white villas on the edge. White
windows, white railings, and a cobblestone path lined with large blooming flowers on both sides.
The park was enveloped by maple trees, their vibrant foliage adding a touch of natural beauty. Estelle
remarked, ‘This place must be absolutely stunning during autumn.”
Jonathan turned to her and inquired, ‘Do you enjoy being here?”
Estelle didn’t tell him that the second villa on the left was hers, but only smiled and said, ‘Living here
when we get old wouldn’t be too bad, I guess
After hearing the girls‘ comment, Estelle’s attention shifted to a nearby dessert shop. She peered
through its windows and casually inquired, “Feeling warm?”
The location, being in close proximity to Serene Summit and surrounded by trees, offered a noticeable
drop in temperature compared to the bustling city center Despite it being summer, the area was
relatively cool.
Jonathan understood her intention and responded calmly. “I’m not feeling hot at all.
Estelle touched her forehead and said, “I’m hot. How about I treat you to some juice?”
Outside the store, a few mountain bikes were neatly parked, and inside, several girls were indulging in

peering through the glass window, their hushed voices carrying a hint of excitement.
“Look at that guy! He’s incredibly handsome and carries himself with such elegance. He could easily be
a character from an animated film!”
“Should we ask for his WhatsApp?”
“You go ahead!”
1 don’t dare to. He looks cold, and it would be so embarrassing if he rejects us!”
The girls seemed to be around twenty years old, among whom one in a camisole shorts was very
pretty, constantly urging the slightly overweight girl next to her to ask for his WhatsApp.
Estelle turned around, walked over to them, and said with a smile, “Are you talking about the guy sitting
outside? He’s my uncle, and he doesn’t have a girlfriend.”
“Really?” exclaimed the girl in the camisole, her eyes lighting up with clear interest. She suggested to
her friends, “Let’s go ask him together!”
The rest of the group eagerly agreed, filled with excitement, and they walked out the door, making their
way toward Jonathan
