Chapter 363 Going to the Primitive Forest 

Daniel didn’t feel awkward at all. As soon as the old lady spoke, he agreed with a laugh and even stood right next to me. 

I was surprised to find Daniel in Springbury and couldn’t help but ask him, “How did you come to Springbury?” 

He smiled warmly and said, “Didn’t you recommend this place for a vacation before? My leg has almost recovered. I’ve been in River City for a long time and felt a bit bored, so I came here. I didn’t expect to meet you here. What a coincidence.” 

just smiled and didn’t ask any more questions. Walter, on the other hand, stopped peeling shrimp for me and started serving me vegetables again. Almost every time I took a few more bites, he would put more in my bowl. 

Watching the dishes continuously appearing in front of me, I frowned, subconsciously rubbing my already bloated stomach. At Walter’s pace, if I really forced all this food into my stomach, he might even call the waiter to order more, and then continue his force-feeding. 

Thinking of this, I quickly spoke up, “I’m full.” The implication was that I didn’t want him to serve me more food. 

But Walter’s comprehension was completely beyond my expectations. He furrowed his brows, his dark eyes looking at me, “Don’t you like eating these?” 

I pursed my lips, feeling a surge of sadness that left me on the verge of tears, and managed to say, “I’m really full.” If one day I were to die young, it would probably be from overeating.

My seriousness, he hesitated slightly, put down his chopsticks, as if he was also full, even though he had hardly eaten anything since he sat down. 

After breakfast, everyone headed straight for the botanical garden. 

The morning in Springbury was like the morning after a heavy rain, with the fresh scent of earth in the air. Especially in the lush botanical garden, the fragrance of flowers mixed with the scent of soil, creating a surprisingly unique aroma. 

A group of people entered the botanical garden, walking, chatting, and observing in a rare harmony. Emma, who loved taking photos, would occasionally take out her phone and snap pictures. Hermosa, curious about the types and names of the vegetation, kept pulling William around to ask questions. 

Walter was making small talk with the old lady, Daniel seemed not particularly interested in the diverse vegetation, Sebastian was pushing him, the two of them, one in front and one behind, were quiet yet surprisingly harmonious. 

Like Hermosa, I was filled with curiosity about the vegetation here, always being attracted from time to time. Occasionally, I would also take advantage of William’s extensive knowledge to learn about many plants and their effects that I had never seen before. 

Perhaps it was the pleasant atmosphere, the beautiful scenery, and everyone’s generally good mood that made me initially think that Daniel and Walter, two men who had fought before, would ruin this beautiful gift from nature when they came together. Fortunately, they did not. 

At noon, the temperature rose, and the overly hot weather naturally made it unsuitable to go out. After returning to the hotel, everyone regularly went back to their rooms for a siesta.

all, Wa 

Waller was the developer here. His visit to Springbury was not merely for leisure. After all, Jacob’s death had been a constant topic of discussion. He came to Springbury firstly to see how the project was progressing, and then to hand over work and see how the management system was functioning. 

So, his affairs were numerous and busy. 

In the afternoon, Walter went to a meeting. The old lady and her said they were going to take a walk in the primeval forest. This kind of group physical activity was not something the old lady wanted to do, but Hermosa, a child in her early teens, was full of curiosity about the world, especially about those unknown and mysterious places she had read about in books. 

Naturally, under the generous natural environment of Springbury, the primeval forest was undoubtedly a place that was extremely unknown and mysterious. 

William originally disagreed, but couldn’t resist the old lady’s doting on her great-granddaughter, so he agreed. 

I hesitated a bit. It was fine for children to go, but for the elderly, it was a place where they needed to climb mountains and walk, which was indeed not a good suggestion.
