Chapter 168
“Keira p>
Lewis wanted to go to her rescue, but his arm was grabbed by Jake. “Uncle, don’t go over there; it’s dangerous p>
Lewis instinctively tried to break free from the grip, but he was surrounded by people, which prevented him from moving freely. He could only punch Jake hard
in the chest.
Then he tried to push through the crowd…
At the forefront of the crowd were Ellis and his coach.
Seeing Keira rushing over, Ellis’s pupils shrank, and he immediately cursed. “What an idiot p>
He wanted to step forward to rescue her, but the coach stopped him. “This horse is too fierce and wil you can’t go near it. It’s too dangerous p>
Ellis frowned tightly and couldn’t help but swear angrily. “What is this illegitimate daughter doing? Has she lost her mind? Didn’t she hear a word we just said? We told her not to get close p>
“Lewis, did you marry a wife who has no brain p>
Lewis had already broken free from the crowd and
arrived in front of Ellis. Hearing this, he didn’t have time to argue and rushed into the middle of the horse
ring.
His heart was almost in his throat.
At that moment, he couldn’t help but feel an intense
regret.
Why hadn’t he held on tight to Keira’s hand just now? He had let her get pushed to the front of Chasing Wind by the crowd…
Since being purchased, Chasing Wind had remained untamed. It took Lewis several days and nights to get it to acknowledge him as its master, and over the years, Chasing Wind had injured numerous staff members…
No one, man or woman, dared to get too close to it.
Keira was…
Just as Lewis was about to rush in to rescue her, the next moment, he was stunned by the scene before
him.
But he saw Chasing Wind, which had been raging, spinning on the spot, and neighing nonstop, suddenly shivered when Keira approached. It then became quiet, lowered its proudly held head, and even rubbed its horse face against Keira’s shoulder.
The crowd was perplexed.
Why did it feel like there was a hint of ingratiating on the part of the horse?
Keira extended her hand to stroke the horse’s head,
and the horse immediately calmed down. The fierceness and restlessness that had just been there
seemed to vanish in an instant.
It even started wagging its tail like a dog.
The crowd was dumbfounded.
There was a silence all around.
After a short pause, Ellis said excitedly, “Lewis, your horse is practically psychic! Does it know this woman is your wife, and so it’s also gentle with her p>
Those behind him seemed to realize something, and they began to praise Chasing Wind.
“This horse is truly amazing it understands so much p>
“Almost like a thinking human p>
“My goodness, I actually witnessed worldly sophistication in a horse p>
“No wonder Mr. Olsen likes this horse so much; I
suddenly like it too… Such unabashed favoritism is just incredible p>
Seeing that the discussion among the crowd was heading off-track, Isla started to worry. She hurriedly steered the conversation back. “Uncle, it looks like you’ve been bringing Keira here often! We had no idea… But that makes sense; you’ve been married for two years now and have been keeping it a secret from us, especially Keira. My mom has been kept in the dark p>
Intentionally phrasing it this way, she indeed misled
Ellis.
Who knew what means this illegitimate daughter, used to marry Lewis? Wouldn’t she then be able to strut around the Olsen family as she pleased? She must have
added more trouble for Mrs. Olsen.
Thinking of the ardor givan bu his unalo
As much as Ellis admired Chasing Wind at that moment, that’s how much disdain he had for Keira
Olsen!
He said, “Keira Olsen, since you’re often brought here by Lewis, I suppose your equestrian skills should be passable. Come on, let’s all run a lap together for fun p>
With a wave of his hand, someone led a horse over.
The young gentlemen around him each mounted their
horses.
Ellis also chose a chestnut horse and mounted it.
Sitting on the horse, he looked imposing and condescendingly said to Keira. “Hurry up and mount, Keira. You can at least mount a horse, can’t you p>
The others laughed.
“No way, right? Isn’t that the first thing you learn in a riding lesson p>
“Just now I saw Mr. Horton carry her down, so it seems she really can’t mount a horse p>
“It might also be that she’s too scared. That move by Chasing Wind probably scared the wits out of her p>
Amidst the discussion, Isla walked up to Lewis. “Uncle
Lewis, I think you should apologize to Mr. Olsen and not let Keira run the race. What if something really happened p>
This made everyone’s gaze fall back on Lewis once
more.
However, Lewis kept his eyes fixed on the woman in the middle of the horse arena…
Everyone thought Chasing Wind was being polite to Keira because of Lewis, but only Lewis knew that this was their first time at the equestrian center and Chasing Wind’s temperament wouldn’t allow it to be so
docile in front of her just because she had ridden it for a lap earlier.
Chasing Wind had never been so submissive even in
front of him!
Tying this with what Ellis had just mentioned, that in the entire Oceanion, only one horse trainer had ever
tamed this horse…
So…
Deep down, Lewis had a vague guess!
Indeed, the next moment, he saw Keira flash him a smile and said, “Then let’s run a lap p>
“Let’s go p>
The young gentlemen around her immediately kicked their horses, and the animals began running around
the arena.
Among these figures were girls…
After all, equestrian lessons might now be considered their regular courses, and furthermore, those rich heirs who really disliked horseback riding wouldn’t
come to today’s equestrian meetup.
Ellis looked at Keira and laughed arrogantly. “Get on
the horse p>
Keira once again stroked Chasing Wind’s head.
Chasing Wind was incredibly tall, and the stirrups wer fitted for Lewis’s height. It was a bit difficult for Keira to step up, and just as she was about to grab hold of the saddle behind Chasing Wind and swing herself onto the horse, a tall figure suddenly approached.
Lewis came in front of her, his hands braced together.
Then he bent down slightly, his features like a painting. His voice was low and magnetic. “Let me help you get
on p>
Keira looked into his dark eyes and smiled faintly.
She stepped on the back of Lewis’s hands and as he lifted her with force, she used the momentum to leap onto the horse, then firmly planted her feet in the stirrups and tightened the reins!
This fluid movement dazzled Lewis.
Ellis sneered, “All flash and no substance. What’s the use of these fancy moves? If you’ve got the skills, then
run p>
The others laughed as well.
“For girls, looking good is enough. Mr. Olsen, you don’ seriously think she can compete with us in speed, do you p>
“If she can ride around smoothly, that’s all that matters! She’s an illegitimate daughter who has never taken a riding lesson. How could she possibly outrun you p>
Among the low murmur of the crowd, Keira suddenly raised her eyebrows at Lewis, then shifted her gaze back. She lightly patted Chasing Wind and said, “Go p>
