Chapter 810 Take It Back And Reminisce

Once she emerged from William's office, Zoe hailed a taxi and returned to her hotel without delay.

With her flight scheduled for 8.00PM, there was still ample time remaining. She hastily gathered her belongings before collapsing onto the bed, succumbing to a much-needed nap.

When she finally roused from her sleep, it was already 3.00PM. The timing was ideal for heading to the airport and taking a stroll through the duty-free shops.

Zoe rose from the bed, refreshed herself with a rejuvenating shower, and felt significant relief from the soreness and exhaustion that had plagued her body.

She emerged from the hotel after blow-drying her hair, clutching her suitcase.

Just as she was about to hail a taxi, a sleek white sports car pulled up right in front of her. As the window descended, Daniel's face emerged, gradually revealing itself. "Heading to the airport?" he asked.

Zoe hesitated for a moment before responding, "Yes."

Daniel tilted his head slightly. "Get in, I'll give you a ride."

A faint smile appeared on Zoe's face as she spoke. "No need. I'll handle it myself."

Daniel's tone remained calm as he replied, "Remember when you said that next time I visit Highside, you would show me around?"

Zoe was momentarily taken aback.

"Well, consider these two days as my responsibility," Daniel stated with determination.

Although Zoe couldn't quite comprehend the reasoning behind his offer, she saw no harm in accepting a complimentary ride and saving on taxi expenses.

As she hesitated, Daniel stepped out of the car and swiftly took hold of her suitcase, placing it in the trunk.

Twenty minutes later, the car came to a halt by the roadside.

Zoe glanced around in confusion. "This isn't the airport, is it?"

Daniel responded with a subtle nod as he unbuckled his seatbelt. "River Silverstone."

Perplexed, she questioned, "But I thought you were taking me to the airport. Why are we here?"

Daniel turned his gaze toward her. "It's still early. We have time to wander around."

Before Zoe could formulate a response, Daniel had already opened the car door and began to stride away.

Left with no other choice, Zoe reluctantly followed his lead.

As the afternoon sun descended, the River Silverstone was bathed in a gentle radiance, illuminating its rippling surface with captivating reflections.

In the distance, Elysian Square was teeming with a flock of pigeons, gracefully soaring through the sky.

On the western bank of the river stood the Palace of Avaloria, an iconic masterpiece of Gothic architecture. Atop its majestic clock tower, the world-renowned Goliath Chimes commanded attention.

While the second-largest Ferris wheel in the world didn't possess the mesmerizing allure of its nighttime spectacle, it retained a distinct charm as it bathed in the gentle caress of sunlight.

With every stride, Zoe captured countless moments through the lens of her camera.

Daniel strolled by her side, his pace unhurried, as he queried, "So, is this the kind of scenery you enjoy?"

Zoe paused, her hand clutching the camera, her thoughts momentarily adrift.

Daniel persisted. "Once you've made up your mind to come here, you shouldn't miss out. While every place has its unique charm, it can never compare to the one place that holds a special place in your heart."

Zoe slowly tucked away her camera, her gaze shifting to the photos she had just taken. "It's quite lovely, just as I imagined. While it would be wonderful to see it in person, I wouldn't feel regret if I missed it."

Daniel came to a halt, his footsteps ceasing.

Zoe raised her head, meeting his gaze. "I've taken enough photos. Let's head to the airport. I still need to browse the duty-free shops, and time is slipping away."

By the time they reached the airport, the clock ticked closer to five. Zoe had limited time for shopping.

Stepping out of the car, she waved her hand to bid Daniel farewell. "Thank you for everything. I should go now—"

Before her words could fully escape her lips, Daniel stood before her, blocking her path.

Zoe looked at him with curiosity. "Is there something else?"

Daniel cast a glance toward the airport. "Allow me to escort you inside," he offered.

Zoe immediately crossed her arms, gesturing a polite decline. "Thank you, but I can manage on my own now that we're here."

With one hand casually resting in his pocket, Daniel silently observed her.

Zoe cleared her throat, retrieved her luggage, and began to depart. "Well, goodbye then."

"Wait."

She shifted her gaze, the crease on her forehead questioning without words. "What is it?"

Daniel slowly spoke up. "I have something for you."

A playful smile curved on Zoe's lips. "No need. I've already troubled you enough in these past two days. Accepting another gift would be too much."

"It's just a souvenir from the hotel."

Zoe paused, surprised to learn that the hotel had souvenirs.

In that case, it carries some significance.

Daniel continued in a measured tone. "You said a few things while you were drunk last night and probably don't remember. Perhaps this souvenir will help jog your memory."

Zoe felt a sudden wave of self-consciousness.

Daniel withdrew his hand from his pocket, intertwining it with hers and placing the item on top.
