The Silent Wife

Chapter 118

Rachel followed behind Justin and Gloria at a distance while listening as the staff member explained the horse before them. “This horse is quite small in stature, and it’s quite docile. Mrs. Burton, since you’re a novice at horse riding, you may try riding this one,” he said.

Rachel tried to touch the colt’s head. When she saw that the colt didn’t resist her, she breathed a sigh of relief. She had never ridden a horse before, but she was looking forward to it.

After everyone had chosen their own horses, the staff members in charge led the horses out of the stable. At the sight of the scene, Rachel became somewhat nervous.

“This horse is so good-looking!” Gloria’s voice came from behind. “Miss Rachel, your horse is much more good-looking than the one I chose. I’d like to swap my horse with yours.”

Rachel hesitated somewhat as she looked at the horse behind Gloria. The horse Gloria had chosen was too tall; Rachel had never ridden a horse before, so she didn’t dare to ride such a tall one.

“What are you two talking about?” Justin, who had already mounted his horse, rode over and eyed the two of them.

Gloria explained, “I like Miss Rachel’s horse, so I want to swap my horse with hers, but she seems a bit reluctant.”

Justin frowned. “Didn’t you choose this horse yourself? Why don’t you like it anymore?”

“I didn’t see Miss Rachel’s horse just now. Her horse is so adorable.”

Rachel looked visibly troubled. However, when Justin was about to say something, she suddenly stepped aside and gestured. I’ll give you my horse then.

Gloria smiled. “Hehe, thanks! I just know that you have a big heart, Miss Rachel,” she said. After finishing her sentence, she got on the horse, snatched the reins from the staff member’s hand, and rode off with a squeeze of the horse’s belly. Her voice could be heard in the wind as she shouted, “I’m riding off first! Hurry up and catch up with me!”

Justin straddled the horse while looking at Rachel. “If you’re afraid, just choose another smaller horse.”

Rachel shook her head. It’s not necessary. I’ll give it a try.

“The horses in our ranch are quite good-tempered,” said the staff member as he mounted her on the horse. Luckily, despite the horse’s tall stature, it was quite good-tempered, and it walked slowly. With the staff member leading the horse, Rachel was no longer afraid after riding the horse for a while.
