Chapter 94
After four hours of intense work, it was nearly dinner time, so they decided to take a break and continue in another two hours.
Maggie took this opportunity to organize her thoughts and decided to step outside to clear her mind. She thought about picking some apples from the mountain to bring back to Johnny and the others tomorrow.
The resort was vast, and she wasn’t sure where Franklin and the others were, so she didn’t run into them as she went
downstairs.
The sky was still light, and she took two staff members with her to help pick apples.
The air was slightly chilly, but Maggie, bundled up in a thick coat, didn’t feel the cold much. She spent some time on the mountain enjoying the wind and picking apples, and gradually felt her mind unwind.
With the help of the staff, they quickly filled two or three crates with apples. Afterward, rather than going straight down, Maggie noticed the sunset was beautiful, so she sat down to enjoy the view.
Just then, she heard the sound of footsteps and a child’s voice.
Turning around, she met Harry’s gaze.
He, too, seemed taken aback by the encounter, pausing for a moment.
The voice of the child rang out happily from his phone, “Auntie!”
It turned out Harry had been on a video call with his niece, Daisy, showing her apples from the tree and telling her that he would bring some back tomorrow.
He hadn’t expected to run into Maggie while going up the mountain.
Although they had met a few times before, and Harry had helped her in the past, Mäggie still felt distant from him. She didn’t want to grow close to him.
The moment she saw him, her face immediately hardened.
However, hearing Daisy’s voice made her expression soften just a little.
Harry noticed the change in her demeanor but didn’t approach immediately. He only asked, “Daisy wants to talk to you. Would you be willing?”
Maggie remembered how much Daisy had helped her during their previous encounter, especially when she was feeling down after leaving the rehabilitation center.
She appreciated Daisy’s kindness and support, so she nodded.
Harry handed her his phone but didn’t come closer. He stood a few meters away, respecting her space.
Maggie chatted with Daisy for a little while, learning that Daisy was spending time with her grandmother and hadn’t come to the resort with Harry.

After Harry finished speaking to Daley, he turned to Maggie, “Thank you?
Maggie simply replied, “No need to thank me
By the time they arrived back at the resort, the sky had already darkened completely. However, there were streetlights on the mountain, so descending wasn’t difficult
Maggie, after a brief moment of hesitation, turned around and started walking down the mountain.
Julia stood there, staring at her retreating figure. Then she turned her head and looked at Harry, furrowing her brow as she spoke in a low voice, “Harry, you guys…”
“They’re over by the pavilion. The ingredients for the bonfire feast are ready, and they were about to call you,” Julia replied
