Chapter 451: Chapter 450: Adulthood—So Many Things You Can Do

"Discovered during the simulation a few days ago," Nathan Foster said, looking at the surprise on her face and feeling that the hours of driving here were worth it.

"It’s the first time I’ve seen so many cacti!" These wild cacti in the desert were different from those potted ones sold in the city.

Some of them were even taller than people.

South Grant happily ran over, and Nathan shouted after her:

"Be careful, don’t get pricked."

South Grant was particularly excited at this time, "Do you think I’m as clumsy as you?"

Saying that, she was already in front of the cacti.

The next second...

"Ouch..."

As soon as Nathan Foster heard, he knew she had moved carelessly, and South Grant got pricked.

He shook his head speechlessly and then walked over to South Grant.

It turned out she wanted to touch a flowering cactus but didn’t notice a thorn nearby.

Nathan Foster took her hand to have a look, seeing a small red bead of blood where her slender fingertip had been pricked.

Nathan took her fingertip into his mouth, gave it a gentle suck, and frowned as he said:

"You’re reckless at everything."

By this time, South Grant no longer felt any pain; when Nathan had her finger in his mouth moments ago, all that remained was a tingly sensation.

This guy had a way of being unintentionally charming at times.

"Alright, stop lecturing me. You train soldiers during the day and me at night, aren’t you tired of it?" South Grant pouted and said.

After South Grant pulled her hand back, she recalled Nathan asking earlier what day it was, so she asked him again:

"What day is today, exactly?"

"It’s your birthday, your eighteenth birthday."

As Nathan Foster finished speaking, South Grant was stunned.

So today was her birthday.

She hadn’t celebrated her birthday in a long time; it seemed as if she hadn’t really done so in her past life either, and birthdays didn’t feel any different from usual days to her.

Being by Nathan Foster’s side all the time, he never prepared a cake for her birthday.

As a result, she even forgot about this day.

"I don’t like celebrating birthdays," South Grant didn’t have much feeling about birthdays.

"An eighteenth birthday is different from other birthdays."

"What’s different about it? Does it mean the day becomes 25 hours long?" South Grant didn’t feel anything different about it.

"You’re an adult now." Nathan Foster looked at South Grant, his eyes filled with

a profound and unfathomable depth, flickering with a kind of determined danger.

"..." Although in South Grant’s heart, being an adult or not didn’t make much difference,

because her mind had matured early; as a reborn individual, she was like a young shell with an old soul.

"Being an adult means a lot of things are possible now." Nathan Foster looked at her and added.

South Grant: "..."

What was he hinting at?

South Grant pretended not to understand.

"Yes, I’m an adult now, according to the agreement back then, The Grant Family should hand over the company to me."

Nathan Foster looked at her, a smile appearing in his eyes.

"You know that’s not what I’m talking about."

South Grant continued to pretend not to understand, changing the subject by asking him:

"Such a vast expanse of cacti, stretching as far as the eye can see, how many years did it take for them to grow."

The tallest cactus here, by estimation, was over ten meters high.

Most of the cacti on the outskirts were taller than a person, and in the far distance, those cacti were so huge that they were visible even from afar.

"An old soldier stationed here said these cacti have been here for quite some years, as if they’ve existed through generations, and there’s a legend here, are you interested in hearing it?"
