Julian laughed. “Of course, there’s plenty! Look at Aiden, he’s gained some chub from eating the fruit here. The sweetness of the fruit here is really amazing!”

Valerie smiled. “Aiden, let’s pick some fruit!”

Aiden exclaimed, “Aunt Valerie, there are apples up ahead! And there are huge, sweet watermelons too. There’s also a kind of weird–looking berry!”

Hearing Aiden’s description. Valerie couldn’t help but smile. “Weird–looking berry! What is it?”

Aiden explained. “I don’t know, Dad says it has a unique taste and is quite rare. I haven’t tried it either, but it looks interesting!”

Aiden’s curiosity was infectious, and Valerie laughed along with him. There are also peaches and strawberries up ahead

Julian led them through the orchard, and when Valerie heard about the strawberries, she became interested “Let’s pick some strawberries!”

Julian quickly brought out some gloves. The strawberries this season are the best. Come on. Ler’s pick them together! You can even make some

strawberry jam to take back home.”

Excited, Valerie grabbed Matthew and headed to the strawberry patch. Seeing the large red strawberries hanging from the leaves, Valerie couldn’t resist and picked one to eat immediately.

She exclaimed, “Wow, it’s delicious! Julian, can you get me some strawberry seedlings? I like to try growing some in the garden behind the old house. What do you think?”

Matthew nodded. “As long as you like it.”

Julian readily agreed. “No problem. I’ll pick the best ones for you!”

Aiden brought over a small basket, and Valerie, in a playful mood, raced Aiden to pick strawberries. The little guy and his aunt were full of energy in the strawberry patch.

Matthew watched from the side, smiling as he took pictures of Valerie and sent them to his grandmother.

Away from the city’s hustle and bustle, Valerie truly enjoyed the quiet and fun of the orchard.

Matthew glanced at Julian and said, “The climate and soil in Sepeal City are different from those in Kranson City. Every fruit here sells well. You might want to try selling online,”

Julian was on

was on the same page. “We’re actually gearing up for that. We need to start online and offline sales, so it will get busy!”

He continued, “I’ve already received a big order. If everything goes smoothly, the orchard will advance significantly. Right now, everything is in the planning stage. But overall, it’s looking good.”

When he first arrived, the orchard was abandoned by the previous contractor. He and his friends painstakingly took over and started from scratch.

Julian managed both the orchard and sales, all while taking care of Aiden. It was a stressful period, and he could barely hold up. Fortunately, they managed to push through, and things were now progressing well.

Seeing Aiden and Valerie having fun, Julian couldn’t resist joining in. He quickly helped Aiden, while Valerie shouted, Julian, no cheating! Matthew, help me. I’m losing!”

Matthew rushed to join in, and soon everyone was laughing and having a great time.

Valerie looked at Julian’s genuine smile and felt comforted. It seemed he had truly moved on from Katherine,

However, Valerie was still unsure how to tell Julian about Katherine. Dale was pursuing Katherine now. If Juliam had truly moved on, it wouldn’t be an issue. But if not, then it would close off any possibility between then

At that moment, Katherine called. The sound of the phone ringing in the orchard was clear, and Katherine was ecstatic on the other end. “Valerie. Dale invited me to travel to Bengrane, and we’re here now. Is there anything you like that I can bring back for you!”

Valerie replied, “Not at the moment.”

Katherine said, “Valerie, don’t be so polite! Since your movie was so great, I must get you a gift!“

Katherine’s words made Valerie smile. “Alright! If you in

“Got it. I’ll share all about this trip when I get back.”

“No problem. Be careful and have fun!”

insist, bring me a bottle of perlume.”

After hanging up. Valerie looked up and met Julian’s gaze. He seemed curious. “That was Katherine calling, right? She’s abroad?”

Valerie was surprised he had overheard and had no choice but to explain. “Katherine is in a relationship with Dale, the movie star. She’s traveling to Bengrane with him Julian, actually Katherine

Julian smiled sofily. “It’s nothing. It’s normal for people to date. She’s a Santos family lady. She’s good–looking and has a pleasant personality. It’s natural for someone to like her. I wish her happiness.
