Chapter 1154
Presley frowned at her vague answer, “Are you really going to compete?”
“if I don’t, Ms. Alonso might be disappointed.”
Presley took a deep breath.
Robin, who had been silent the whole time, chuckled, “Dad, these girls rarely get a chance to have some fun. If both of them agree to the race, why not? It’s not like it’s a big deal”
Everyone in the room chuckled to themselves. No big deal? If it’s no big deal, then why compete?
While Chloe took the initiative to propose the race, she didn’t put any money on the line. Wendy, on the other hand, was eager to take up the challenge. Anyone with half a brain could see what she was up to! Robin was too smart not to see right through it.
Presley was silent for a long time before he sighed, “Do whatever you want!”
Chloe said lightly, “Grandpa, you just keep playing. We’ll be bark when we’re done.
Presley stared at her for a long time before grunting.
The horse racing track was right next to the shooting range, separated by a wire fence. It was a clever setup by the operators. Once you saw what was going on in the other area, you’d wanted to try it out.
Presley, Robin, Royce, and Elizabeth all stayed at the shooting range, but their attention was already on the horse racing track next to them.
Every now and then, someone would gallop by on a horse. Some were competing spontaneously, while others practicing alone.
Chloe had already put on her armor, knee pads, gloves, and now her helmet. She took the whip from her coach and the horse she had chosen earlier and headed for the training ground. But she was stopped by Damon, who was standing near a post.
The man’s face was dark, his eyes filled with stern warning.
Chloe suddenly remembered that she might have been neglecting him. She gave him a radiant smile, clearly meant to appease him.
“And you’re laughing?” Damon said coldly, “I’m warning you, if you get yourself hurt, you’re in for it!”
His cold demeanor and tone made Chloe’s smile waver. “You’re so mean…”
“I hope you never see me at my worst.”
“Okay!”
Chloe agreed, completely oblivious to the danger.
Damon was a bit annoyed. This woman clearly knew he wouldn’t do anything to her, so she didn’t take his words seriously.
He pulled Chloe into his arms and bit her nose in frustration.
“Ow…” Chloe whimpered and covered her nose. “That hurt.”
It really did hurt. She almost cried out in surprise.
Seeing the woman in his arms with her teary eyes, he couldn’t help but soften. He took a deep breath, looking at her with a mix of helplessness and worry. “I don’t mind you having fun, but if you get hurt, I don’t know what I might do. You get that?”
Chloe’s heart skipped a beat. She looked up at the handsome man in front of her and slowly lowered her hand. “I won’t get hurt.”
Damon’s gaze lingered on her nose for a few seconds, a small smile tugging at the corners of his mouth, “I’ll take your word for it.”
Chloe smiled, glanced around, and seeing that no one was paying attention to them, she tiptoed and quickly pecked Damon’s lips. It took a moment for Damon to react.
Chloe looked like she had accomplished a secret mission, her hands on his chest, and a mischievous smile in her eyes.
“With your lucky kiss, I’m sure to win.”
Damon’s gaze deepened. He held Chloe’s hand tightly, “Is one kiss enough?”
“Enough.” She pushed him away and patted his shoulder, her tone a bit suggestive. “Just wait for me.”
With that, she raised her eyebrows, leading the horse towards the training ground.
Halfway there, a girl about fifteen or sixteen years old, came over with a beautiful chestnut horse standing in front of her.
“Can I help you?” Chloe stopped and looked down at the girl who had clearly come specifically to see her.
Her gaze was fixed on the horse next to Chloe, and she spoke a bit shyly. “Andre is really great, thank you for letting him compete.”
Chloe understood and looked at the horse next to her, stroking its mane. “So his name is Andre.”
Andre shook his head and nuzzled the horse next to the girl.
Chloe smiled, “He does seem very approachable, and not many people choose him to compete.”
“But Andre will be amazing, he’s not just approachable… he’s also very gentle! This is Willow, they’re siblings. Their mother died soon after giving birth to Willow. Andre has always been by Willow’s side, never leaving her, never letting her get bullied…”
The girl spoke quickly, gripping the reins tightly, her eyes filled with tears. Chloe didn’t know how Andre had been looking after Willow, but she was willing to believe the girl’s words.
*He would rather be bullied by other horses than let Willow get hurt; he never instigates fights with other horses, which is why he seems gentle… he’s a good big brother… he’s eager to compete like other racehorses… I can see it in his eyes!”
Tears filled the girl’s eyes, she was on the verge of crying, “So thank you for choosing him, I will bring Willow to watch him, to see her big brother, the most handsome and strongest horse in the world! Even if… even if he loses, it’s okay…
Tears fell from Chloe’s eyes as she looked at the kind–hearted girl in front of her, gently rubbing her shoulder. “I’ll do my best. I believe Andre wants to prove himself too.”
“Good!” The girl nodded firmly, reaching out to pat Andre’s head, “You can do it, Andre!”
As Wendy led her horse to the training field, she spotted Chloe from a distance, cozied up with a girl and chatting away. She couldn’t help but frown. This woman really had a knack for attracting attention all the time.
The staff followed them to the starting point of the race, and both Chloe and Wendy hopped onto their horses.
The stands had already filled up with spectators, and a few people from the shooting range next door were watching the race with stern faces, eyes glued to the action.
The race rules were simple. Two laps around the training field. The first one to the finish line would win.
Wendy glanced at Chloe beside her, a confident smirk spread across her face. “Seems like you have no idea you’ve overstepped your boundaries!”
Chloe’s lips curled into a smile. “And you don’t seem to know what it means to be overly cocky”
Wendy’s face hardened, then she gave a cold laugh. “I have the right to be cocky. What have you got?”
Chloe’s smile deepened. “Rights? Besides you clinging on to your past glories, do you think anyone else is stuck in the past? What do you still have in common with them?”
Besides her clinging on to the past…
As if it hit where it hurts, Wendy’s face turned gloomy instantly.
“Chloe, remember this. The skills that will utterly defeat you today were all taught to me by Damon when we were kids! Don’t you find it hilarious that I’ll beat you with skills he taught me?”
Chloe gave a light smile. “Leave Damon out of this.”
You just wait and see…”
A sharp whistle echoed, and the staff beside them shouted, “Get ready!”
With a grim face, Wendy tightened her reins, determination to win written all over her.
Seeing that both were ready, the staff blew a long whistle. Both women whipped their horses, and in an instant, the horses charged forward!
