“I‘m not riding.”
“What if I let you ride Artie‘s horse?”
Hearing that, Sophia was startled for a moment, but she shook her head in the end. “I really don‘t know
how to ride a horse.”
All of a sudden, Emily clapped her hands, and her bodyguard appeared out of nowhere. Then, he
carried Sophia up. “Get her up on that horse.” Emily pointed at a big horse.
Shocked, Sophia shouted, “Let me go! Let me go!”
However, no one could save her here since the racecourse was closed today, as though someone had
purposely gotten rid of everyone here. This gave Emily the chance to mess with Sophia.
Sophia sat on the horse in fear, and she grabbed onto the bridle on the side instinctively. The next
second, someone slapped the back of the horse, and it dashed forward at full speed. She was scared
to death; she could only lie on the horse‘s back and hug its neck tightly.
While the horse was galloping, Sophia was screaming all the way. However, no one including Arthur–
knew that someone had been riding a horse on the racecourse since early in the morning. He didn‘t
sleep well last night either, since his head was full of the girl she met in the garden and that letter that
she had handed him. He looked at it for the whole night but still had no idea when he wrote that to her.
At this moment, Arthur had ridden the horse to a field two miles away. This area was under his family‘s
business and was also a good place for horse riding and relaxing. He wasn‘t the the–more–the–merrier
kind, so he preferred to stay away from crowds.
However, after around 10 minutes, he heard a girl‘s scream from the woods. He was stunned for a few
seconds because he had closed the racecourse today and prohibited anyone from riding
horses. So, why are there people here?
The woman‘s scream was getting closer and closer to him, and he could hear her weeping helplessly.
Just then, he saw a horse galloping out of the woods, and a girl was lying on the horse‘s back and
hugging tightly on its neck, frightening it and galloping away as though it was trying to fling the girl
down from its back.
With his excellent eyesight, he saw that it was the girl he had met last night.
He was familiar with all the horses here, so he blew a whistle, and that frightened horse stopped
instantly. It then neighed before turning around and galloping in his direction.
When it reached a few feet away from him, it raised its front legs and finally threw the girl down on its
back.
“Ouch…” Sophia felt as though all the bones in her body were broken. Luckily, she fell onto a soft field,
but it was still painful.
After the horse galloped away, a man‘s voice came to her ears. “It‘s you again?”
Instantly, she lifted her pale face and looked at the man in front of her following his long legs. Although
she was in pain, she still couldn‘t hide her happiness. “Arthur!” she called his name in surprise.
Arthur squatted down and realized she wasn‘t standing up. “Are you hurt?”
Sophia‘s leg was injured, and it was so painful that she couldn‘t get herself up. So, she lay down on the
field and decided to rest. “Ya. My whole body is in pain.”
“Who brought you here for horse riding?” he asked with a frown.
Hearing that, she felt bitter. Who else
could it be? It‘s the woman whom you‘re marrying soon! Your wife in three days!
“I came here myself,” she simply said.
Arthur reached out his hands to her. “Here, take my hand.”
“My whole body aches. I don‘t want to get up.” She continued to lie down and turned around, looking at
the sky. At this moment, she felt good all of a sudden.
The sky was clear, and she could see the man‘s face upside down. She took a deep breath, breathing
in all the scents of the grass and flowers around her. She could even vaguely smell the unique cedar
aroma on his body.
“Arthur, do you really love Miss Jennings?” Sophia asked her while blinking.
In Arthur‘s eyes, it didn‘t matter whether he loved her or not. Her father could bring him the research
results that he wanted, and she was fit to be his wife. “I don‘t want to answer that.”
“You must love her then. She‘s actually quite pretty. You two are a match,” she muttered.
