Chapter 370
After being avoided twice, Kelvin was already a little angry. But he still said patiently, “Miss Pierce, are you saying I’m old? Don’t worry, I have no generation gap with you young people mentally. Why don’t you get to know me first?”
Eliana just smiled without saying a word. Then she turned her head and looked at the horses.
Kelvin’s eyes darkened at once.
He thought that this woman was really a hard nut to crack!
After a while, Eliana finally chose a horse.
“Miss Pierce, are you sure you want this one?” Kelvin asked.
He looked at the brown mare, frowning disapprovingly.
“Yes, this is what I want,” Eliana confirmed.
“Think it over first. This mare has just given birth, and it’s weaker than other horses. Moreover, its owner said it has a fiery temperament. You are just a beginner. I’m afraid it will be difficult for you to tame it.”
Kelvin tried his best to persuade Eliana to change a horse. However, she remained firm with her decision.
In the end, he had no choice but to compromise.
Since Eliana had chosen a horse, she got on its back quickly. Kelvin wanted to help her to have some physical contact with her. But since she had gotten on the mare’s back herself, what else could he do?
“Miss Pierce, just sit tight. I will lead the horse for you,” he offered as he walked over to her confidently.
But when he was about to hold the rope, the horse unexpectedly lost its temper. It shook off his hand and almost kicked him.
Kelvin was so frightened that he stumbled and fell to the ground.
Then he heard a burst of laughter around him.
Kelvin made a fool of himself in front of the crowd. He was so embarrassed that he quickly got up from the ground. His face turned scarlet and then white.
Still sitting on the mare’s back, Eliana laughed out loud.
She patted the mare’s neck as if praising it and thought that it did a good job.
But in the eyes of the outsiders, Eliana and Kelvin seemed to be getting along very well.
Of course, Harriet also noticed this. So she deliberately pointed at them in front of Maurice.
“Mr. Moran, look at them. Aren’t they a perfect match?”
Maurice turned to look in the direction where Harriet was pointing. Then he saw Eliana riding on a horse with a bright smile, and next to her was the ugly older man Kelvin.
Maurice’s face darkened, and displeasure filled his heart.
How could Eliana look so happy with others?
But when she was with him, he had never seen her this happy.
Harriet continued with a sigh, “My uncle’s wife died many years ago. But since then, he never had any woman in his life. Now that he seems to get along well with Eliana, I hope they can really be together. I want her to be a part of our family too.”
When Maurice heard this, his brows furrowed.
Kelvin and Eliana together? What was Harriet talking about?
Eliana didn’t know that Harriet and Maurice had been talking about her. She was looking at Kelvin, wondering how he was going to handle the embarrassing situation.
It was Kelvin’s first time being humiliated in front of many people. Anger rose in his heart, and all he wanted to do was to take revenge on the horse.
“You bitch!” he cursed.
Then he picked up the whip hanging by the side, stepped forward angrily, and whipped the mare hard.
The mare neighed in pain and galloped in a frenzy.
“Ahhh!” Eliana screamed in fright.
She subconsciously tightened the reins, trying to control the frightened mare. But her effort was in vain.
The mare galloped with Eliana on her back.
Everyone was shocked by this. And Kelvin slumped to the ground again in fright.
Maurice, who had been watching them, also noticed what was going on.
He was worried that Eliana might get hurt.
So he immediately stood up and shouted at the dumbfounded staff, “What are you just standing there? Do something. Save her!”
The staff finally came back to his senses and said anxiously, “Mr. Moran, that mare is wild. It has caused several accidents so far. We have to sedate her every time. Please wait a moment. We have already called someone.”
