Chapter 64
A hint of anger flashed in Ryan’s eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.
“Neil, this isn’t the time to let rage take over. If Silvia ends up getting hurt, you’ll regret it!”
Neil glared at him. “If you’re worried about her, why don’t you talk to her yourself?”
After a brief moment of hesitation, Ryan hurried over to Silvia.
By the time he reached her, the instructor had already positioned the horse next to her and provided guidance on how to
handle it.
Noticing that someone was standing beside her, she turned and met Ryan’s worried gaze.
“Miss Pond, this horse might not be the best for you. Switching to a different one would be safer. Otherwise, you might lose control of it and get hurt.”
Seeing that his concern was genuine, Silvia smiled and said, “Mr. Anderson, thank you for your concern, but I’ve made up my mind.”
He frowned and whispered, “Even if you’re upset with Neil, you shouldn’t risk your own safety.”
She chuckled. “You’re overthinking it, Mr. Anderson. He doesn’t mean that much to me.”
After she explained, she hopped onto the horse so effortlessly that one would not think it was her first time riding.
Ryan was stunned, and he automatically stared at her.
The maroon riding apparel accentuated her perfect curves, and her slender waist seemed like it could fit in the palm of a hand. Her long hair was also tied up in a ponytail. She exuded a sharp, confident vibe and appeared so beautiful that he could not look away.
Aware that he was getting lost in her beauty, he quickly lowered his head to hide his emotions. Before he could speak again, she made her way toward the riding arena.
Neil fixed his gaze on Silvia. Her long hair danced in the wind, and the sight of her back alone was enough to set hearts aflutter.
He had never seen this side of her.
She had always been docile and too fragile to survive without his support.
Hence, he was taken aback as everything spiraled out of his control. He realized that he never truly understood her.
When Ada noticed Neil’s intense focus on Silvia, jealousy filled her heart. Nevertheless, she kept her gentle smile.
“Snow, I’d like to go horseback riding too. Do you want to join me?”
They exchanged glances, and Snow immediately knew what Ada was up to.
“Sure. It’s been a while since we rode together. Henry, do you guys want to join us?”
Henry asked the others, but he declined when he saw their lack of interest, “Have fun with Ada. We’ll wait for you here.”
Snow and Ada quickly changed into their riding outfits. They then chose small horses with gentler temperaments.
Meanwhile, the others settled in the neighboring lounge and watched them slowly make their way toward the riding arena.
The area was huge, so Silvia had disappeared from their view long ago.
Ten minutes later, they could barely make out Snow and Ada’s figures in the distance.
They chatted, and Henry extended a heartfelt apology to Neil once more.
“Neil, I was wrong before, and I acknowledge my mistakes. I promise I won’t be that stupid again in the future. Please forgive
me.”
Neil glanced at him dispassionately. “As long as you don’t let your love for your girlfriend overpower your reason, there won’t be any issues between us.”
Henry remained silent.
Seeing his reaction, David shook his head and spoke up on his behalf, “Neil, don’t worry. Ryan and I have given Henry a good lecture. If he repeats his offense, he wouldn’t dare seek your forgiveness again.”
Neil nodded and sternly said, “Tell your girlfriend to stay away from Silvia!”
Henry and David exchanged surprised looks.
Was he planning to protect her?
