Chapter 358 Shadow
"So, what do you think about going out on a horse?" Jack asked Celine who was still in his embrace.
Celine's eyes immediately shone with excitement when she heard that. She had just been thinking about to try riding Bella, and Jack had suddenly suggested that.
Celine nodded her head hurriedly, as if she was afraid that Jack was going to change his mind. And in the next moment, she wanted to get out of his embrace and mount on the horse when suddenly, Jack pulled her back.
"What is it?" Celine asked confusedly. She couldn't understand why Jack was pulling her back, when he was the one that had suggested that they go out together.
"Take this. You are still tired and you want to go out like this? I definitely won't allow something like that." Jack said seriously as he handed her the bottle of body strengthening solution.
The production of the body strengthening pill had commenced once again. Due to the fact that the military was in high demand of the body strengthening solution, Jack had no choice but to instruct the Brightway Medical Research Centre to continue manufacturing the pills.
And since the ingredients for the product were cheap, although the group of scientists could not understand the reason as to why they were supposed to continue the production of defective pills, they still continued.
Celine smiled as she took the bottle of body strengthening solution. And in one gulp, she drank the solution, and felt that the energy that had disappeared from her body suddenly recovered in an incredible speed.
"Done! Can we go now?" Celine asked impatiently after she finished drinking the body strengthening solution.
"Not just yet. Don't you see that Bella hasn't been prepared to be ridden on?" Jack asked as he pointed at Bella who didn't have any saddle on her.
"But you said that we were going out?" Celine asked with a frown on her face. It was obvious that she was displeased by the fact that Jack was delaying her from getting on Bella's back.
"I haven't said that we are not going out. I just said that Bella is not yet ready to go out." Jack said with a simple shrug of his shoulder. And in the next moment, he looked towards the direction of the entrance of the residential area.
At that moment, a truck was heading their way. And in just a few seconds, it arrived in front of the villa. Celine's brows rose a little as she looked at the truck curiously.
"What is inside it?" She asked.
"Just wait for it." Jack said with a smile on his face.
It was also at this moment that Samantha alighted from the truck. Celine was obviously surprised as she had not expected that Samantha was not actually present. She had been so focused in training, and the horse in front of her that she even forgot about Samantha.
Jack on the other hand went towards the back doors of the truck. And after that, he opened it, revealing a black horse present inside.
"Ah? Another horse?" Celine asked in surprise. She had not expected that there was yet another horse that Jack had bought.
"Yep. This on the other hand is my horse, Shadow." Jack replied as he beckoned for the horse to get out of the truck. In the next moment, the horse came out of the truck, and stood beside Jack.
Celine looked at the majestic black stallion named Shadow, a vision of strength and elegance. With his velvety ebony coat glistening in the sunlight, he emanated a mesmerizing aura that captivated all who beheld him.
His muscular build showcased power and grace, while his dark, intelligent eyes seemed to hold a world of wisdom within.
Shadow stood tall, his head held high with confidence, a gentle steam rising from his nostrils as he breathed in the cool air.
His coat shimmered as if adorned with stars against the night sky, and his mane cascaded down his neck in a flowing ebony waterfall. Every inch of him exuded an air of regality, a symbol of untamed beauty and free spirit.
As he stood before Celine, his eyes locked with hers, a connection sparked between them. In those moments, it was as if a silent understanding passed between them.
Just like Bella, Shadow could also detect that Celine shared a deep bond with Jack. And as a result, he also liked her. After all, they were going to interact severally.
Celine couldn't help but be drawn to Shadow's magnetic presence. She reached out, her hand trembling slightly with a mix of excitement and reverence.
As her fingers gently brushed against his velvety coat, she felt the underlying strength hidden beneath his silk-like fur. It was an indescribable feeling of harmony, as though their souls were entwined in that very moment.
Her heart swelled with admiration for the magnificent creature before her, recognizing the beauty in his untamed spirit.
Neigh!
Just a Celine was continuing to caress the coat of Shadow, Bella complained from the side. Considering the fact that Bella and Shadow both possessed the intelligence of an 8-year-old human, they were of course dissatisfied if they were ignored.
It was also at this moment that Celine was finally reminded of the fact that, other than Shadow, there was also Bella. She gave Shadow a final hug before going back to Bella's side.
Bella on the other hand gave Shadow a threatening stare, as if trying to warn him not to steal away Celine from her. But of course, shadow completely ignored her.
"Do you know how to ride a horse?" Jack asked.
"Yes. We have already done that several times during the trips that we took as a group." Celine replied.
With that, she was finally reminded of the time that they were always going out as a group. Wendy, Angy, and Celine amongst other youths of the same age as them.
It was also during this period that Celine utilized to free her mind. After all, she had always been busy, and she needed to distress herself.
"That's good then. I believe that you can change into suitable clothing for you to ride a horse, while I put a saddle on Bella." Jack nodded his head before he replied.
Celine immediately agreed and rushed back to the Villa. She was in a hurry to try a horse, that she had even forgotten that she was currently wearing a dress.
While Celine was still changing, Jack went ahead and began saddling Bella. The saddles had been brought by Samantha, in the truck. Shadow was already having a saddle on him.
Not long after Jack was done saddling Bella, Celine rushed out of the villa. She was dressed in a tight blue jeans that accentuated her figure, and a white long sleeved blouse.
And without asking or saying anything to Jack, she simply mounted Bella. She was afraid that Jack was going to put a lot of conditions for her to be able to do that.
Jack on the other hand could only shake his head when he saw her behavior. He then went ahead and mounted Shadow.
"Samantha, come and go with us." Celine looked at Samantha who was standing at the side, and called for her. The relationship between the two of them had progressed, and Celine had already forgotten about the time that Samantha wanted to kidnap her.
Since the two of them had been spending a lot of time together, they had already begun getting along as well. Jack had already noticed this, and he was of course happy about it.
Although there was still a contract that bound Samantha from doing anything that would have Celine, there was no assurance that she didn't know any loophole.
In case she found one and Celine was harmed, he was definitely going to regret it. So, to him, the better the relationship between the two of them, the more determined Samantha would be to protect Celine.
Samantha hesitated for a moment, and looked towards Jack. But when she saw that he did not say anything about the matter, she went ahead and mounted Bella.
Although Bella was a little dissatisfied, due to the fact that Celine was the one who had called Samantha over, she decided to allow Samantha to mount her.
"Where are we going to?" Celine asked.
"We are going to a horse race track." Jack replied as he pulled the reins, and shadow began walking towards the entrance of serenity residential area.
Celine also did the same and Bella began walking beside Shadow. She looked at Jack suspiciously before asking, "Don't tell me you bought the racing track?"
"Hehe, that's actually true." Jack replied with a small laugh.
"Come on. How many companies are you actually buying? You are actually involved in almost every industry apart from real estate industry. Aren't you killing Denali?" Celine asked.
She also knew that Jack had provided her with the management of the companies that had the least work. But, since the other companies that Jack owned were still managed, it was obvious that Denali was the one that was doing all of that.
"Don't worry about that. We have of course looked for competent people to do that. But still, we are always keeping an eye on each and every company." Jack replied. At the same time, he thought that perhaps he should give Denali a break, so that she could go back home.
"Tch! But that doesn't change that you are actually lazy, and leave almost everything for Denali to do." Celine clicked her tongue as she said. And after that, she held the reins of Bella, before Bella began galloping.
Jack could only smile wryly, as Shadow galloped after her. And in no time, they had already exited The Serenity Residential area, and had arrived on the road.
"Which horse racing track are we going to?" Celine asked after they had left the Serenity Residential area.
