Chapter 961 Picking Apples
It wasn’t until Kimberly carried the fish back to her residence that she realized
what a stupid thing she had done.
“I was excited just now. Let’s share the fish.”
Kimberly scratched her head and smiled shyly at others.
Kaila was tender and answered with a smile, “That’s great. We’ll enjoy the
fish.”
Others also echoed, making Kimberly, a little embarrassed at first, relaxed.
She nodded. “Let’s deal with these fish first.”
“Let me help you,” Neil and Max said in unison, looked at each other, and
smiled, “Let’s go together.”

Seeing they had already gone to help with the fish, Charlotte looked at the
children and said, “Why don’t we grill fish for lunch? How about going to

These children immediately cheered.
They all knew barbecue and thought it was interesting to collect firewood!
These children quickly picked up the dry branches on the ground, and
Charlotte only had to keep an eye on them to avoid accidents.
These children were capable. Before adults beside the stream finished
dealing with the fish, children collected all the firewood they needed and even
helped Joe and Pedro tidy up where they planned to barbecue.
Ottilie Aberton, Neil’s wife, walked to Charlotte and smiled, “Thanks to your
good idea, these children can do something to divert their attention.”
Charlotte also smiled, “I didn’t expect they did it quickly.”
After a while, these adults, who had dealt with the fish by the stream, came
over. They took out the seasonings they had prepared in their bags and
carefully marinated the fish.
“I just saw some wild apples and strawberries over there. Why don’t we go
and pick some?” Ottilie pointed somewhere, a place that Charlotte and Joe
had never been to before.
Charlotte hesitated for a moment. “Okay. Let’s not take children there this
time.”
They were unfamiliar with that place, so Charlotte feared accidents would
happen if they brought children there.
Ottilie readily agreed. The two emptied a bag and walked into the woods.
Walking through the dense woods, Charlotte noticed few signs of
development on the island and wondered how Jerome and the others found
such an uninhabited island.
“It’s right in front!”
Ottilie suddenly shouted excitedly and pointed to the front of the woods.
Following the direction of Ottilie pointing, Charlotte saw the apple tree. It was
high and filled with red apples. Although the apples were not good-looking,
each one was big and delicious at first glance.

Ottilie looked at Charlotte and said embarrassedly, “Can you climb the tree?”
Charlotte raised her head and looked at the high apple tree. She hesitated
momentarily and said, “I’ll have a try.”
Five minutes later, Charlotte managed to climb the apple tree and threw ripe
apples to Ottilie.
[Does Miss Clinton still remember she is a debutante?]
[It is so funny. Mr. Smith may feel so distressed when he sees this scene that
he will not allow Director Fenton to broadcast this piece. Miss Clinton doesn’t
care about her image for eating apples.]
[By the way, Miss Clinton is agile to climb the tree!]
The two left some space for strawberries, filling two-thirds of the bag with
apples.
Charlotte lowered her head and glanced at the ground. Then, she looked at
Ottilie calmly and said, “Please get my husband here.”
