Chapter 29

The pain never came, but Isabella heard the jarring neigh of a horse falling to the ground, followed by the shrill screams from Freya and Lyra.

Isabella had forgotten to breathe, and her gaze fixed on someone not far away.

A man with a cold expression holstered his bird–hunting rifle and tossed it into a leather pouch hanging from his horse’s neck. Gripping the reins with one hand, he let the horse trot leisurely forward.

Before him sat a bashful–looking woman, who just happened to be the woman Isabella had picked out–Selena.

Isabella felt her heart pounding in her chest and the skin on her entire body radiating heat. Upon recalling what had just happened, she felt her legs 12 12 Wed, 20 Dec GO Chapter 29 He Descended From the Sky go sort.

Seth and his gang slowly approached them, and besides Selena, there was also Dariel and the eldest son from the Gates Family, whom Isabella had once met before.

Everyone in that group rode horses and wore striking equestrian outfits, making them seem very handsome.

Simon Gates was wearing a white outfit and exuded a gentle demeanor. He got off his horse before reaching Isabella and jogged over. “Are you alright?”

He extended his hand toward Isabella and nodded toward the two frightened women beside her.

Chapter 29 He Descended From the Sky While tugging her lips, Isabella didn’t wait for him and forcefully tried to get up. However, her legs were indeed weak, and she stumbled as she tried to stand.

Simon rushed over to support her. “Be careful.”

“Thank you.” Isabella took a step back, avoiding any contact with the man.

But when she raised her head, Simon raised an eyebrow. “Isabella… Symons?”

It was perfectly normal for him to recognize her at a glance, as they had met before, given her association with Seth for the past five years.

Descended from the So Simon’s gaze had a trace of scrutiny as he turned to look at Seth and Dariel, both still on their horses.

Seth had a cold expression, while Dariel had a faint smile in his eyes.

Smiling, Simon made a rough guess of the situation.

“My apologies for startling you and your friends. I’ll get someone to send you back.” As Simon spoke politely, Lyra and Freya, standing to the side, looked at each other and got curious about Isabella’s identity.

Just as the atmosphere had turned awkward, the sound of galloping hooves was heard from not far away. It was clear that they were rushing this way.

12 12 Wed, 20 Dec GO Chapter 29 He Descended From the Sky Gordon and the others went after the horses but felt worried halfway, so they abandoned the several hostesses and came back to check on Isabella and the others.

When Freya saw Skyler, her tears instantly rained down her cheeks, causing the scene to become very nerve–wracking and awkward.

Gordon immediately went over to Isabella after getting off his horse. He pulled her over to him by her arm and asked nervously, “Are you okay? Did you get hurt?”

Tugging her lips into a forced smile, Isabella replied, “I’m fine. Mr. Gates and the others arrived just in time. I’m not injured, but the horse is.”

W/10 1212 Wed 20 Dec GOO Gordon released his breath and tried to hug her.

“Since you feel sorry for injuring the horse, you should stop causing trouble for it in the future.” A cold male voice suddenly broke through the atmosphere, causing Gordon’s actions to halt midway.

Feeling her cheeks flush, Isabella dared not look at Seth.

Meanwhile, Tyrone and the others were confused but were afraid to speak upon seeing Seth’s expression.

Dariel held the reins of his horse, and in his arms was a woman Isabella had never seen before. He clicked his tongue. “Babe, are you grateful I didn’t Chapter 29 He Descended from let you ride alone?”

The woman giggled and snuggled into his arms, saying, “Mr. Shaffer is so merciless. He has a woman he likes in his arms, yet he’s lecturing a boyfriend–less woman.‘

The two spoke without any regard, clearly mocking Seth and causing the atmosphere to become even more awkward.

Being hot–tempered, Gordon shielded Isabella behind him. “It’s just a horse. She can have as many as she wants, so you shouldn’t feel bothered about losing any. I will compensate on her behalf.”

Hearing that, Dariel let out a gasp while Simon adjusted his alasses.

12 12 Wed. 20 Dec G GO m the Say Chapter 291 Descended From the Sky The atmosphere became tense as Seth played with the reins in his hand. His sharp gaze swept over Gordon as he parted his thin lips to say, “You’ll compensate for it on her behalf?”

“He’s her boyfriend, after all.” Tyrone smiled as he spoke up, then patted Gordon’s shoulder before greeting Seth. “Mr. Shaffer, don’t mind him. His mind is currently filled with his girlfriend, so he doesn’t really care about the horse.”

Isabella felt her cheeks burning even hotter but couldn’t utter a word from her parted lips. Her mind raced as she didn’t want everyone to misunderstand her relationship with Gordon.

However, it would make things more awkward if she tried to explain their relationship in this situation, and it would also hurt Gordon’s pride.

She had her back to Seth and was quiet throughout, seemingly acquiescing to their guesses.

With a light snort, Seth lowered his head to ask Selena, who was in his arms, “Would you like to ride a few rounds?”

Not expecting him to suddenly turn to her, coupled with being the center of everyone’s attention, Selena couldn’t help but blush and nod slightly.

After adjusting the reins, Seth swept his gaze across Dariel and Simon. “I’ll bring her riding for a bit. You guys can go about your business.”

Once he finished speaking, he pulled on the reins 1212 Wed 20 Dec GOO.

and brought them away from the curious crowd as though the tense atmosphere just now hadn’t existed.

Isabella didn’t raise her head, but her back was drenched with sweat, and her ears rang. It wasn’t until Gordon called her that she snapped out of it.
