Chapter 166 I Like Your Beauty Spot The horse trainer shouted urgently. âMr. Russell! Stop!â
Josie opened her mouth in shock and looked at Dexter. His horse had galloped off the course.
Arnold slowed down and asked casually, âAre you worried?â
Josie sat stiffly. âNo....â
Then, Arnold held her hands tightly and chuckled. âAre you aware that your body language doesnât lie? Moreover, we are sitting so close that I can know your thoughts.â
His words annoyed Josie, prompting her to retort, âItâs because Iâm nervous.â
âLetâs stop here.â Arnold did not care who won the race and let his horse slow down. âDonât worry. Dexter has years of experience in taming horses. He will be fine.â
Accidents can always happen. Josie gulped worriedly and recalled the news she had seen. I read that people became disabled after falling off a horse. I canât find Dexter anywhere. What should I do?
âArnold, why did you do that for?â Josie did not hide her annoyance and scolded, âYou knew you could never win with me on the horse. Why did you insist on a race with him? You even goaded him. Look at what youâve done! What if something happened to him?â
Arnold laughed upon hearing her. âWhat are you saying? Do you think it was deliberate? I have no reason to do that.â
Itâs because of Summer! Josie clenched her teeth furiously but could not say anything.
âLet me down!â
âDonât move.â Arnold leaned to the side and looked at her face before rubbing his fingertips against her skin. âThereâs dust.â
Josie forgot to breathe as he leaned close. He looked at her charmingly and said, âI like the beauty spot under your eye. Itâs pretty.â
Josie came to her senses and hit him with her arm. âI want to get down from the horse!â
Arnold did not stop her this time. The horse trainer stepped forward to unfasten the straps holding her to the saddle and helped her off the horse.
heart come finally calm down once her feet touched the ground. Unlock succeeded roumans and asked. âWhereâs Mr. Russell? Is he not back yet? Have you A neigh sounded right after her questions. She looked as far as she could and found Dexter returning on his horse. His horse galloped fast, but he did not seem nervous and let it gallop toward Josie.
Heâs all right! Thatâs wonderful!
Josie smiled, but the joy in her eyes gradually disappeared as she realized the horse was charging in her direction. Dexterâs expression was cold and emotionless. He also made no move to steer the horse away. It seemed he was targeting her.
Josie stepped back but did not have time to react otherwise. Her pupils widened with shock.
As the horse was about to reach Josie, Arnold jumped off his horse and dashed to her. He grabbed her waist and rolled them out of the way. Josie cried out in pain.
Meanwhile, Dexter suddenly pulled the rein and steered the horse in another direction, narrowly avoiding where Josie stood. He noticed the two people in a tight embrace on the ground.
Arnold let Josie fall on him and used his body to cushion her fall.
Josie coughed and was still flustered from what had happened. On the other hand, Arnold tucked stray strands of Josieâs hair behind her ears and asked, âAre you hurt?â
Josie shook her head and stood up immediately. âThank you...â
Arnold propped his head on his arm and sneered, âDexter, you havenât changed. Youâre still harsh to the ladies.â
Dexter got off the horse and handed the rein to the horse trainer. âBring it to the vet. It injured its legs.â
âYes, sir.â
Seeing that Dexter did not respond, Arnold turned to Josie and said, âLook at him. You canât rely on Mr. Russell. If you want someone you can lean on and protect, I suggest you choose me.â
