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
Gerald felt disgusted at Zeke's gesture.Jeremy remained expressionless as he calmly raised the whip in his hand and whipped firmly on the rump of Zeke's horse. The next moment, the horse dashed away in a frenzy and dragged him along.Zeke had to pull the reins of his frightened horse as he shouted from a distance, "Jeremy! I was just trying to lighten the mood! You've gone too far when you did that! Wow...woo..."Jeremy put away his whip and acted as if he did not do anything.Jason chuckled in a low voice. "Gerald, Jeremy, shall we continue our race over there?"Gerald nodded. "Sure."Jeremy grunted lightly in acknowledgment, but his gaze unconsciously turned to Corinne as he saw that her race had already begun. Moonshine galloped toward the woods with her on its back, leaving the three others well behind her....Jeremy, Gerald, and Jason went to the equestrian field to race and kill time. After a while, Zeke came back on his horse and joined them while complaining about wha
At the edge of the cliff, Moonshine the white horse lingered in the area as it whined. A torn corner of red cloth was dangling on the edge of the cliff, clearly from the equestrian suit that Corinne was wearing.Jeremy pulled his horse to a stop, jumped down firmly, and walked quickly to the edge of the cliff. His sharp gaze looked far down until the bottom, but the end was not in sight. The arrhythmic, rapid clacking of horse hooves galloping from behind could be heard, and they too came to a stop soon enough.Zeke, Gerald, and Jason had caught up to him.The three of them got off their horses, looked at the ominous scene on the edge of the cliff, and glanced at each other in silence.Zeke put away his usual cynical tone and stepped forward in grief to pat Jeremy's shoulder. "My condolences, Jeremy."Jeremy was silent and had a solemn expression.'Condolences? Why the hell are you offering your condolences?' Jeremy turned around, looked solemnly at Zeke, and said calmly, "I'll g
Jeremy kicked the stone cliff face and propelled his body back as he untied the rope and landed firmly on the ground. The movement startled a colony of bats.As he stood up and patted the thorny weeds that clung to his clothes, his sharp eyes began scanning the surroundings. The environment at the bottom of the cliff was particularly harsh, and the situation looked rather bleak.No traces of Corinne could be found. Whether she was dead or alive, he was adamant about finding her at all costs.He frowned, pushed aside layers of vegetation, and carefully searched for her. All of a sudden, a black shadow pounced at him from behind. Jeremy was keenly aware of the movement, and he turned to give the figure a thumping kick. He then saw a brown bear howling as it bared its teeth and fell over.The brown bear seemed to be very hungry, and its eyes lit up when it saw Jeremy—a potential prey item. After a while, it got up and attacked him again. Nonetheless, his body was strong and agile, and
