Chapter 164 Won Her Heart
Arnold refused to let her go. He held her hand as he walked toward the center of the racecourse. The racecourse kept many pure breed horses. Josie glanced at the horses’ lustrous coats and knew they were easily worthed at least ten times more than her.
Dexter rode a pure-breed Ferghana horse and galloped in the middle of the racecourse. He wore a denim jacket and tucked the hem of his pants into his leather riding boots. His slim figure and fitting clothes made him appear even taller than usual. His horse galloped fast and moved like a wind across the grassy ground.
Dexter suddenly pulled the rein as he sensed people approaching him. The horse obeyed him immediately and stopped. He looked heroic sitting atop the horse.
Josie desperately wished the ground would swallow her when he looked down in her direction.
She tried to pull her hand away, but Arnold stubbornly refused to let go. He raised his chin and commented, “Dexter, your horse-riding skills improved again.”
Dexter did not get off the horse but looked at Josie, standing beside Arnold. “Arnold, I see you brought my employee. Where did you find her?”
Josie heard his sarcastic tone and rushed to explain, “I met Mr. Carter at the hospital. It was a coincidence.”
Arnold held her hand tightly. “You forgot again. Didn’t I say to call me Arnold?”
Josie cautiously observed Dexter’s expression. His gaze darkened like a stormy sky before. calming down. Then, he got off the horse and smiled cryptically while removing his gloves. “Arnold, I had no idea you managed to woo my employee in mere few days.”
Josie was unable to say anything.
A racecourse staff led a horse to Arnold. Arnold patted the horse’s mane and said, “That’s not true. I’ve always been sincere with my feelings toward women, but I’m always the one to get dumped. Otherwise, I wouldn’t still be single now.”
He glanced at Josie suggestively after saying that.
Josie could not bring herself to laugh. She sensed Arnold was hinting about Summer.
Thats their problem. However, knowing you, no one can force you to do
int tout believe I understood you pretty well Dexter accepted aw
the staff and drank a few mouthfuls. His Adam’s apple trembled alluringly as he swallowed.
Arnold climbed onto his horse and extended his hand toward Josie. “In that case, you seem. to have forgotten something. Those who understand my character do not end well.”
Josie did not accept his hand and shook her head. “My arm is still injured. I can’t ride.”
“Arnold is a good rider. He is especially good at subduing a rogue horse. You should experience it.” Dexter sounded in a good mood.
She stared at him with shock and fear. She had never ridden a horse, especially a rogue one.
Arnold smirked and said, “Come up here. Don’t worry. I won’t let you get hurt.”
The staff helped her put on wrist and knee guards. Thus, Josie had no choice but to get on the horse. Arnold secured her in his embrace and hugged her gently, resting his chin on her shoulders. Then, he taught her basic riding techniques and spoke to her affectionately.
Josie did not dare to look at Dexter’s expression. She felt a chill down her spine.
Meanwhile, Dexter was feeding his horse. “I haven’t seen him for some time. His appetite has grown a lot. It seems no amount of food could satisfy him.”
Arnold replied, “A rogue horse can never be fully tamed. Its appetite will become more voracious as it grows. You should be prepared.”
“Unfortunately, I’m afraid he will be blinded by his appetite and greed, biting off more than he can chew.”
“When there’s a will, there’s a way.” Arnold gripped the rein tightly, prompting the horse to neigh. Josie was frightened by the noise and felt her heart in her throat. Then, Arnold asked, “Dexter, we haven’t competed for a long time. What about racing one round?”
