Chapter 21 The village's tourism industry was officially launched, and Raelynn invited travel bloggers and food bloggers to visit and promote the village. Most of the village houses still retained their original structures, with only the walls reinforced. Some were turned into guesthouses, while others became restaurants. The entire village was renovated in harmony with the local scenery, with several viewing platforms built. The bustling scenes of the Santa Fe Trail were recreated, and grandmothers taught visitors Navajo weaving and petro- glyphs. The first group of bloggers who came to experience the village all felt great about it. Staying here for two or three days, they could relax and unwind, feeling comfortable and at ease. Online promotions came one after another, and the village's leisure tourism gradually gained recognition. The second group to arrive were employees from a well-known company, who came for their annual trip. Each of them had a wonderful experience. Soon, some travel agencies reached out for cooperation, and more and more independent travelers came to visit. As the village's capacity was limited, a real-name reservation system was implemented. Couples who had gone out to work heard the news and returned to the village, joining the elders in running their fami- ly shops. Education and healthcare were also established, and everyone in the village was very happy. "This is wonderful. Your efforts have truly paid off." Cathan stood side by side with Raelynn at the window, watch- ing the tourists passing by outside, and sincerely praised her. "Everyone contributed. I feel really good about it too." Raelynn smiled knowingly, then her expression grew serious and a bit reluctant. "It's time for us to go, to the next place that needs us." Raelynn wanted to use her abilities to help more people, to ensure more children could go to school and the elderly had someone to rely on. "Alright, let's go." Cathan couldn't help but smile. The relationship between him and Raelynn had subtly changed-at least, she no longer tried to drive him away, The day before Raelynn left, Maverick came to see her. Simone led him in, her face full of caution as she warned Raelynn. "Raelynn, this one is not a good person. Stay away from him. I'll be right outside-call me if you need anything." Raelynn gave a faint smile and looked at Maverick, who was standing at the door. 0.0 % 10:35 Meeting him again, she was even calmer than she had imagined, as if she were encountering a stranger. After nearly two years apart, Maverick had changed a lot. He was much thinner, his face showing unmistakable ex- haustion and fatigue. The brightness in his eyes was gone, and he seemed completely shrouded in darkness. He was no longer the radiant, gentle man who could make her heart flutter with just a glance. "Long time no see, Mr. Joyner." Raclynn spoke calmly, her tone utterly flat. Maverick's eyes instantly turned red. Raelynn's distant demeanor pierced his heart. He had imagined their reunion countless times. He thought she would cry, get angry, or hysterically question him about why he had deceived her... He had never expected her to be so indifferent. As if she had never loved him at all. "Honey... don't treat me like this." He opened his mouth, his voice hoarse and torn. "Mr. Joyner, we were never married. I am not your wife, and whatever was between us ended long ago. No matter what you want to say, I don't want to hear it." Raelynn interrupted him. He shook his head desperately, rushed to Kaelynn in a single stride, and reached out to embrace her. "No, you are my wife. I love you." Raelynn took a step back and slapped him. "Mr. Joyner, please have some self-respect!" 10:35
