After eating, the two changed into their travel clothes, put on comfortable hiking shoes, and set off.

Purple Summers didn’t like mountain climbing, but if it was just a leisurely stroll in the mountains, she was more than willing.

The two walked at a leisurely pace, as they were not in a hurry.

The smooth concrete road only extended for a short distance before it came to an end, leaving dense trees and bushes ahead.

A small path was hidden within, almost covered by the vegetation.

“Are there wolves in the mountains? Or snakes?”

Purple Summers followed Alexander Summers into the woods and found that the forest was denser than she had imagined, with most of the sunlight overhead being blocked.

She subconsciously held her crossbody bag close to her chest, worried that a small crow would be snatched away by some animal.

Alexander Summers teased her from the side: “You were the one who wanted it to be free, and you’re also the one who’s worried about it dying. Why don’t you ask the crow what it thinks?”

Purple Summers rolled her eyes at him in annoyance and kept walking.

!!..

After a while, the trees gradually became less dense, lush and verdant, with bright sunlight filtering through the shade, illuminating beautiful rays of light.

The air was filled with the faint scent of vegetation.

The journey was uneventful. Purple Summers was captivated by the scenery and gradually forgot to be cautious. Her lively black eyes looked around with curiosity, even staring at the mushrooms that occasionally popped out of the fallen leaves for a long time.

“Alexander Summers, look!” Purple pointed to a cluster of bushes. “There are so many fruits here.”

Her face lit up with delight, looking adorable and innocent like a naive child.

Alexander stood not far away, watching Purple pick wild berries, his eyes full of infatuation.

He hadn’t been wrong. Ever since he met her, his heart had never been free. She was like a fairy, sometimes innocent, sometimes seductive, as if she possessed some enchantment that locked his soul in place.

He truly loved her.

Alexander couldn’t believe that he had fallen so deeply for a woman.

At that time, her marriage announcement came suddenly, and he was embroiled in the power struggle of the Howard Family, both trying to commit murder and preventing himself from being murdered.

At the wedding, he watched as she, draped in a white veil, step by step, approached Nathaniel Summers.

At that moment, he asked himself if he should take her back by force.

But he couldn’t even protect himself, how could he protect her after taking her back? Or, for her peace, should he give up the territories and influence he was about to gain from the Howard Family and stay away from the conflict?

No, he couldn’t bear to give up what he had fought for so long.

Thinking about it, he realized that he might not love her as much as he thought.

However, seeing the two kiss under the blessings of the guests, he was driven mad with jealousy.

He couldn’t have her, nor could he allow others to have her!

Alexander, tormented by jealousy, was selfish and cruel; he sabotaged Nathaniel, almost causing him to lose his life…

Now, after all the twists and turns, she still belonged to him in the end.

Alexander approached Purple and brushed the hair hanging by her temple behind her ear. Purple, oblivious, bent down to pick up the wild raspberries scattered on the ground and placed them in the canvas bag.

“These are wild raspberries, and there are many more ahead.” Alexander led her forward.

There were indeed more wild fruits ahead, and Purple was extremely excited, pointing at a tree full of fruits, “I recognize this, this is lantern fruit, right?”

After picking many fruits, Purple began to worry, “But we can’t finish them all, would it be a waste?”

“If they are left on the tree, they will only rot.” Alexander tousled her head and said, “We can make them into juice, or ask mom to make them into jam.”

At his words, Purple grinned, her smile genuine and radiant, brightening her shining eyes.

Alexander’s heart warmed, and he pressed her against a tree trunk, kissing her deeply..
