Chapter 400 Frightened Mare
Gritting her teeth, as her face slightly contorted with anger, Jeanne forced herself to stay calm, but she clenched her fists harder and harder while walking away, feeling no pain even if her fingernails stuck into her hands.
‘No, I have to do something!’ A client's female companion on the other side waved at her, "Ms.Kelly, would you like something to eat? we are going to the horse ranch later."
Jeanne turned around and smiled at her as she put on a gentle and decent face, "No, thanks.The horse ranch is for men, I'll just watch August on the ranch from below."
After some casual polite words, Jeanne excused herself to go to the bathroom, turned to a corner where no one was around, and made a call, "Where are you now? I need your help ..."
Twenty minutes or so later, the clients on the other side are talking happily, asking to go to the horse ranch, and August naturally did not refuse.
He Looked down from the observation deck, and after his eyes lingered for a moment on the woman in the red riding outfit, he stepped out of the lounge area with them.
Meanwhile on the horse ranch.
Lucia focused on watching Timothy and Janet practicing their riding skills, paying no attention to anything else at all.
A uniformed staff member slowly approached the mare picked for Lucia beside her, and after looking around, he suddenly bent down with a quick movement, quickly lifted the mare's hoof, and stuck the nail in his hand into the hoof slit, After which, the man moved back to the other side as if nothing had happened.Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.
Lucia stood watching next to Timothy and Janet, not aware of what was going on over there at all.
At the center of the horse ranch.
Paul had already ridden his horse for two laps, slowly getting into his stride as his body warmed up.
Suddenly, he spurred his horse and sped up, galloping on the outer circle of the horse ranch.
Timothy was attracted by the scene over there and couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow! Dad is so handsome!"
Janet also nodded in agreement with her eyes wide open, "Like Prince Charming!"
Lucia then looked over at the man in the white riding outfit riding a white horse, who was handsome and dashing with his body seeming to glow.
The man happened to turn around and look over, with his eyes unmistakably fixed on her direction though quite far away.
Lucia was stunned, feeling an indefinable complex emotion crowding her mind.
'How dazzling Paul is!’’
"Mom! Go riding together with Dad too!"
Timothy moved excitedly on his pony, eager to ride the pony over right away.
Turning around and amused by his reaction, Lucia laughed and glanced at the white mare not far away with some hesitation.
Next to her, Janet nodded her head and said, "Mom, go! You haven't ridden a horse today!"
Lucia raised the corners of her lips, smiling without saying anything.She had only intended to please Timothy and Janet, so while Paul had been picking her a horse, she hadn't been very interested, but now it seemed that she had to take a horse ride.
With the two little ones persuading her in turns, Lucia finally gave in and said, "Okay, okay, I'll go!"
As she said this, she glanced at the two little ones who were looking at her with expectant looks in their eyes, and she couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Lucia hadn't ridden a horse for a long time, and now she was about to ride one, she was afraid her riding skills were so mediocre that she would show herself up in front of Paul, but for the enthusiasm of the two little ones.She then warmed up and got on the horse.
Seeing this, the staff next to her was about to hold the reins for her when Lucia shook her head and said softly, "Don't worry about me, just keep an eye on the two little ones."
After saying that, Lucia pulled the reins, spurring the mare with her feet, and the white mare soon started to trot.
With the clear and steady sound of the mare's hooves, Lucia looked up at Paul who was far away at the center of the ranch, smiled, and pulled the reins.
Lucia on the mare, dressed in a red riding outfit with undiminished charm, whose body was shapely and face was delicate, walked along the way, catching quite a few onlookers’ eyes, including the group of people who had just entered the horse ranch.
August walking in the middle of the crowd recognized the figure on the mare at a glance.
As his eyes darkened, he couldn't look away as if his eyes were glued to her body.
‘Why didn't anybody tell me that Lucia could ride a horse?’ As soon as they entered, an ingratiating staff member approached with August's favorite horse, "Mr.Adams, here is your Edward."
Hearing this, August looked away and looked up at the tall, majestic horse without saying anything.
A group of clients around him all praised his horse, "What a great horse!"
"Indeed, President Adams' stuff is always the most dazzling one just like the person."
Speechless and expressionless while listening to their flattery, August got on his horse and headed directly for the center of the ranch after accompanying some clients on the top horses picking.
At the same time, Lucia approached the center, and seeing Paul waving at her, she smiled and pulled the reins, about to speed up when the white mare beneath her suddenly shook violently, right after which it rushed forward frantically as if frightened.
Startled, Lucia immediately grabbed the reins tightly, so she didn't fall off the mare.
"Windier! What happened to you!"
As if irritated by something, the white mare rushed toward the fence next to it out of control.
Lucia crouched down to lower her weight, and several times she was almost thrown off.
The ranch was in total chaos with staff in panic, frightened guests, and a lot of screaming.
The white mare was about to crash into the fence when it suddenly turned around and rushed toward the other side like crazy.
"Lucia!"
Paul raised his eyes and saw the rampaging white mare, on which the woman gripped the reins tightly.
But her body was like a maple leaf about to fall off as if she might be thrown to the ground at any minute.
With his heart in his mouth, Paul immediately rode toward her.
However, at that moment a black galloping horse came into his sight, on which there was a man with a cold face heading straight toward the white mare without hesitation.
‘It's August!’ Shocked, Paul immediately spurred the horse, trying to make it run faster, but he didn't catch up with him in the end.
The black horse crashed straight into the white mare, and shocked, the white mare stopped with its front hooves and lifted its front hooves as the woman on the mare's back was thrown off.
But then, August pounced upon her and caught her, rolling on the ground together with her.
Lucia only felt someone pulling her into his wide arms, followed by a sense of dizziness while being held tight.
Finally, she collected herself and opened her eyes, only to see a pair of dark eyes ...
'It's him! The one who had pounced upon her and had saved her life from dire danger had actually been August! There was dust and dirt everywhere.
The staff hurriedly went up and worked together to pull the two horses apart, while more people flocked to the two people who were still holding each other on the ground.
Seeing this, Paul on the horse pulled the reins hard, feeling extremely heartbroken.
