Chapter 957: "You really love riding the horses, don't you?" Raymond teased, his eyes glinting with mischief.
"But it looks like your dad picked your mom first. Guess he likes her more.” Gabriela's smile froze.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtRaymond gently patted her cheek, let out a sigh, and added, "See how happy your mom is? And now, your dad is even holding her." Gabriela squinted, looking almost like a tiny old lady, as she watched Eileen being helped onto the horse by Bryan.
The strong wind blew Eileen's long hair all over the place. Once Bryan was on the horse, he helped her tie it up. Eileen's slim frleaned back against his broad chest as he leaned forward, taking hold of the reins, with his chin resting lightly on her shoulder.
His warm breath brushed against her ear, causing her to snuggle even deeper into his arms. To anyone watching, they looked incredibly close.
Gabriela couldn't fully grasp what was happening, so Raymond explained, “Look, Gabriela, your dad is completely focused on your mom. Wow, he's even tying up her hair. Has he ever done something like that for you? Just look at how happy your mom is..." Gabriela couldn't hold back anymore and broke into tears.
Raymond immediately panicked and quickly picked her up, saying, "Oh, don't cry, Gabriela. I was just teasing. Your dad loves you very much. He really does!” He instantly regretted his words. The worst part was that Eileen and Bryan were already too far away, so they couldn't hear Gabriela crying and were unable to return to comfort her. Realizing his mistake, Raymond took full responsibility. He carried Gabriela over to the little store by the stable and bought her a handful of lollipops. This gesture finally lifted her spirits.
Read it first on gVlEileen had sexperience riding horses, thanks to her past. There was this one tduring a negotiation when Bryan had agreed to a horse race with the CEO of another company. They were betting on a two percent profit. The CEO of the other company was known for his impressive horse-riding skills and passion for racing. At that time, Eileen had only been working with Bryan for a few months and had never seen him on a horse before.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSo, when Bryan had agreed to the race, she had instinctively grabbed his arm and said, "Dawson, you're already wealthy-a two percent profit is nothing to you. Please don't risk your life over this!" It was the first tBryan had looked at her properly since she had started working for him.
His thin lips had curled into a casual smile as he said, "Don't worry, it's not often one could find someone who cares this much about them. I'll be sure to keep myself safe.”
She had quickly pulled her hand away, feeling her ears turn red. That day, the resolve she had held for months to avoid any fantasies about him because of their legal marriage-had started to crack. He hadn't remembered her. She had done a good job of keeping her feelings hidden before.
"You're a responsible adult with a family. How can you let your mind drift off during something as risky as NO this? Bryan's voice suddenly broke through Eileen's thoughts from behind her.
He had wrapped his strong arm around her waist, holding her steady. He had watched her, mening out, eight months into their marriage. Eileen tried to pull away, but his grip was firm, holding her close against his chest. She said, "I want to ride on my own."
