Chapter 214: Chapter 214

Byran had always been a big fan of competitions, so he eagerly suggested “Let’s have a race, all four of us! From here to the end of that forest up front, first one there’s the winner! What do you reckon?”

Belinda raised her hand. Tm in!”

After everyone agreed, they spread out horizontally, each entering their own lane, making sure their starting points were aligned and ready to bolt “Ellinor”

A deep male voice suddenly roared from behind them Ellinor was ready to run with Yvette when she heard her name. She turned around to see Theo, sitting on a glossy black horse, stationed not far away looking at her with a stern face Dressed in an elegant and professional equestrian outfit, Theo looked noble and handsome.

Theo on the horse didn’t resemble a prince but was more like a majestic king.

Ellinor was taken aback before asking. “Theo? What’s up?”

“Come here.”

His tone was calm. It was not exactly a command, but it carried a sense of undeniable authority.

Ellinor frowned in confusion, guiding Yvette towards Theo, curious about what Theo was up to.

Belinda, Byran, and Haillie also turned around, watching with different thoughts.

Ellinor’s horse stopped face to face with Theo’s. She asked, “What’s up, Theo? We were just about to start a race!”

They were sitting on their horses, facing each other, at a distance unreachable by stretching an arm.

Unsatisfied with the distance, Theo pulled the reins, moving his horse forward and aligning the horses‘

bodies just so he could look at Ellinor up close.

His gaze swept over Ellinor’s slightly swollen ear, then dropped to her hand holding the reins.

“Give me your hand.”

Feeling perplexed, Ellinor nevertheless released the reins and extended her hand.

Theo flipped her hand in his rough, large one, noticing her allergic rash had improved, which slightly eased his tense mood.

“Theo?” Ellinor frowned in confusion, growing impatient.

Theo looked back up at her, aware of her eagerness to race. He pulled out a sealed water bottle from the side of the saddle, opened it, and handed it to her.

“Have a drink, then you can go play.”

He called her over just for this?

Ellinor was stunned. She thought he had something important to say!

Feeling a bit thirsty, she took the water and gulped down a few sips, then handed it back, “Thanks, Theo. Can I go race now?”

“Yes” Theo replied With his permission, Ellinor turned her horse and galloped away without looking back.

Did Theo call her over just to give her water?

Since when did Theo start caring so much about her?

Theo watched Ellinor’s slim figure bobbing on the horse, deep in thought for a moment. He took a sip from the water bottle in his hand and then sealed it Theo, you’re so considerate! You even rode over to give Ellinor some water to drink!”

Jonah joked while stopping his horse next to Theo..

Theo’s expression darkened. He glanced sideways to see that Jonah, Kemp, and Bartlett had all ridden over to him.

Jonah held up a water bottle, mimicking Theo’s serious tone, then turned to his friend on the other side, “Kemp, have a drink before you go play. Your lips are chapped, and it’s breaking my heart”
