Annie giggled and nodded. "Yes, I've eaten. You don't have to worry about me!"Jeremy narrowed his eyes in displeasure. "Then why are you still here?"Annie was dumbstruck before a chuckle escaped her. "Oh, I get it! I'm going to stay out of the way and not be a third-wheeler. Bye! I'm going to go see if my little pony has grown!"Once Annie ran off, a spoonful of soup was brought to Corinne's lips. She looked down at the soup, then back at Jeremy with a frown. "Mister, do we need to act like a loving couple in front of Annie?"She thought he was acting?Jeremy's eyes turned cold, and the gentleness that rarely appeared in his eyes froze. "Just drink your soup."Corinne was baffled. Nonetheless, she parted her lips and drank the soup while internally whining, 'He's such a moody man!'As she was drinking the soup, she heard Jeremy call her name sternly, "Corinne.""Yeah?" Corinne looked at him, waiting for him to say what was on his mind.Jeremy gazed into her eyes solemnly. Af
Corinne was startled by Sunny's behavior, but she folded her arms and looked at Sunny contemptuously. "What's the meaning of this, Mister Sunny? What do you think you're trying to do?"Sunny blushed as he tried to muster the courage to say something that seemed to be difficult. Having a youthful spirit and a determined expression, he finally got with it. "Corinne, I'll be pursuing you!"That did not startle Corinne as she remained calm. In a bored manner, she examined him from top to bottom as she raised her eyebrows. "Are you an adult?"Sunny raised his chin proudly. "I'm going to be eighteen years old in six months!"Corinne yawned lazily. "Come find me only when you're an adult."She then turned to leave. Obviously, this topic was not interesting enough for her to continue.However, Sunny used his arms to stop her from leaving. With a stern expression, he said solemnly, "Corinne, please leave Jeremy alone, and give him back to my sister. You can be with me if you like rich guy
Alas, Jeremy spotted Corinne from afar, and she would have a difficult time explaining herself to him if she did not go to him.Corinne sighed and walked toward him nonetheless. "Mister, I'm back."Jeremy had a cup of coffee in his hand, and he brought it to his lips and took a sip. "What did you guys talk about?"Corinne shook her head in a bored manner. "Nothing, just trivial things. Nothing worth mentioning."Jeremy furrowed his eyebrows. It struck him to find out Corinne was just entertaining him when she said she was going to tell him everything when she returned to him.Zeke smiled and patted the chair next to him, saying, "Corinne, come sit and chat with us!"Corinne glanced at Zeke and was reluctant to chat with him. She knew he was going to make fun of her.At that moment, Annie ran over and said, "Corinne! Corinne! Come. I'm going to bring you to pick a horse, and we'll have a little race when it's not as hot. It's going to be very hot during the afternoon!"Corinne l
Hearing the voice, Corinne looked back and spotted Rosie looking at her from afar with a brown horse.Corinne's eyebrows furrowed. "Is your foot all good now?"Annie had gone to another horse pen to get her horse, so no one else was around. Thus, Rosie did not have to pretend to be nice to Corinne. Instead, she was hostile."Of course not, but that little injury isn't going to affect me riding!"When it happened, Rosie had screamed so loudly that others thought her leg was badly damaged because of the little ear stud, yet she could stand so steadily with the horse. It was obvious that she was pretending in the changing room.Corinne smiled. "That's good, then."She did not want to talk to Rosie or look at her, so she walked toward the horse she picked.Despite that, Rosie did not let her go easily and said sarcastically, "You better stay away from the horse. Even if you can bring it out, you're not going to be able to ride it."That made Corinne pause. She could tell Rosie did
Corinne lowered her eyebrows and sighed in irritation. "You might not believe me if I say this, but I'm not interested in Jeremy at all! I don't even want to be Missus Holden! You're only wasting your time and effort if you try to pull these little shenanigans with me!"Rosie was taken aback and looked at her with a bit of doubt. "You're not interested, you say? Then would you dare to swear that nothing ever happened between yourself and Jeremy, or that you don't have any feelings for him at all?"Corinne was silent. Making that promise was something she could not do because something did happen between herself and Jeremy—something…she could not bring herself to think about!However, the circumstances that led to that event were completely beyond her control, and other people would never understand why it was so. Even if she did explain the situation, no one would believe that her mindset then was simply focused on helping him since it was in her capacity to do so. In consideration
Annie frowned. "But..."Corinne was already leading the horse out. "Let's go. I'm about to give it a try."Annie's worry remained rooted. "Do you want to rethink your decision, Corinne? This horse is really difficult!"Corinne smiled. "No thanks. I just know that this horse clicks with me.""Okay. You must be careful when you ride it later, though!""Of course," Corinne assured.Rosie led the horse and followed the two of them as she stared at Corinne's rear figure with disdain. 'Clicks with you, huh? You're going to be thrown off its back later, you overconfident country girl!'In reality, Rosie's feet did not hurt at all, and she was merely pretending to limp just to synchronize with the charade she put on earlier....Sunny rode a chestnut-colored horse over to look for them. As soon as he saw the white horse that Corinne was holding, he was startled at first and frowned right away."You brought Moonshine out?"'Moonshine? Why would such a handsome horse have such an ador
It was an extremely dangerous scene!In the distance, Jeremy—who was riding on a horse while preparing for a race with Zeke and the others—turned around when he heard the neigh and laid eyes on the heart-stopping spectacle.His pupils shrank, and he immediately rode his black, pure-breed horse over.After Moonshine raised its head and neighed excitedly, it placed its front feet firmly on the ground as it galloped happily across the racecourse with Corinne on its back. It was neither averse to having her ride on it, nor did it show any sign of kicking her off.Sunny—who was about to go over and save her—was dumbfounded by that scene and halted his horse immediately. 'Is this really happening? How is Corinne riding Moonshine so safely and steadily?''How is that possible?' Rosie had a look of disbelief on her face, too. She had been looking forward to seeing Corinne fall off the horse and make a fool of herself, and when neither of that happened, she felt disappointed and angry.'H
Sunny has always enjoyed competitive games and took the initiative to join in. "How about all four of us race against each other? The starting point will be here, and the finish line will be the edge of the woods up ahead. Whoever reaches the finish line first is the winner! Is that good?"Annie raised her hand. "Okay! I'm in!"Since everyone agreed to the race, they positioned themselves behind the starting line and ensured that there was sufficient space between them as they prepared to race from their respective tracks."Corinne." A man's deep voice sounded suddenly from behind them.Corinne and Moonshine were about to begin the race, but she turned her head as soon as she heard someone calling her and saw Jeremy coming over on a shiny black horse. He stopped some distance away and looked earnestly at her.His elegant and professional equestrian outfit made him look incredibly majestic and handsome. As he rode on the horse, he did not look like a prince at all but more like a h
