Chapter 1720

Back then, Keegan joked, “Can’t you look in the mirror? The two of us weigh nearly 600 pounds combined. Juno is a horse, not a camel.”

‘Jaylene and I weigh almost the same. Why would he suggest taking her on a ride but not me?’ Stella thought.

Jaylene seemed satisfied with Keegan’s response, especially when she noticed Stella’s displeased expression.

Knowing that Stella had never ridden Juno, Jaylene strongly wanted to prove herself to Keegan by taming the horse.

“Keegan, could I have the opportunity to ride Juno by myself? The fact that it allowed me to touch it suggests a connection. I haven’t encountered such a beautiful horse in a long time. Please let me do this.”

Stella pursed her lips and warned, “Jaylene, falling off a horse is no small matter. It’s not the time to show off. What if you get hurt? How will I explain it to your mom when we get back?”

Jaylene was convinced Stella did not want her to outshine her in front of Keegan, “Stella, handling horses always comes with risks. Just because you can’t control Juno doesn’t mean I can’t.”

Undeterred, Jaylene turned to Keegan once more and implored, Keegan, please let me try this once. I’ll give up if Juno doesn’t allow me to ride it.”

Keegan hesitated and frowned. Finally, he said, “Fine. Don’t forget to put on the protective gear. Be careful, and get off if it doesn’t work out.”

Jaylene smiled and responded, “Okay.”

She then looked at Stella, “Stella, do you want to pick a horse too? We can have a friendly competition.”

Stella shook her head, “I’m not feeling well. Next time, maybe.”

Sensing Stella’s reluctance, Jaylene smiled and said,” Alright, then.”

After saying goodbye to Keegan, she followed the horse trainer to wear protective gear.Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updates…

Once she left, only Keegan and Stella remained.

Keegan continued caring for Juno, feeding it carrots and stroking its fur. Meanwhile, Stella stood by, staring at him without blinking.

Perhaps it was her audacious gaze that made Keegan somewhat displeased. He turned toward her and asked,” Aren’t we here to see the horse? Why are you looking at me?”

“I’m not.” Stella pursed her lips and said, “I’m just wondering if Juno was in pain when its eye was blinded.”

Keegan paused, looking at her strangely, “Well, duh.”

Stella could not believe he responded with such an answer. It was just as she had expected.

“You shouldn’t come here anymore,” Keegan continued, “We are about to annul the engagement. It’s better to maintain some distance.”

Stella glanced at him, “I agreed to annul the engagement with you as a compromise. If you keep pushing me around, I’ll expose our marriage online. Not only did you abandon your wife and child, but you also got involved with my stepsister!”

Keegan’s face darkened, “What nonsense are you talking about? What does our annulment have to do with Jaylene?”

“I’ll say whatever I want to the media if you try to drive me away. Try me!”

Keegan gritted his teeth, “You’re being unreasonable!”

Stella snorted and walked over, lightly poking Keegan’s shoulder with her finger. “Does your injury still hurt?” she asked softly.

Keegan scowled and said, “Yes! It hurts even more when I see you!”

“Seeing me hurts your heart, huh?” Stella deliberately twisted his words. “Do you want to return to the bedroom? You can take off your clothes, and I’ll gently blow on your injury. Whenever you got hurt in the past, you used to ask me to blow on your injuries so that the pain would go away.”
