“You-“David seethed with anger and shame.
“But even if you ask to borrow my horse, I won’t lend it to you,” Jameson added.
David’s face turned from red to green as he listened to Jameson’s taunting words. The crowd began to murmur and gossip. “Are the two sons of the Schmidt family not getting along?”
Someone remarked, “Is this just a lack of harmony or a full blown feud?”
Another quest chimed in, ‘Did Jameson just claim that the horse is his? Did David use Jameson’s horse without permission? Isn’t that a bit inappropriate?”
The murmurs reached David’s ears, and he couldn’t bear it any longer. He clenched his teeth and said coldly. “Jimmy, it’s just a horse. Is it necessary to say such things in front of so many people?”
Jameson replied, “Yes, it is.” His refined features were icy, and his voice was cutting. “If it were just an ordinary horse, I wouldn’t argue with you.”
He continued, “But the horse you touched is a gift I intended to give to Ms. Taylor. She has seen it yet, and you laid your hands on it. Do you think that’s appropriate?”
Alyssa’s excited gaze was still fixed on the splendid horse. However, she was suddenly stunned by
Jameson’s words. Her eyes widened in disbelief.
“David, how come your manners seem to have deteriorated over the years?” Jameson openly mocked David. “When we were kids, didn’t Dad tell you that touching someone else’s things without permission is impolite?
David felt as if he had been slapped in the face. The humiliation was multiplied a hundredfold with Alyssa present. It coursed through his veins, driving him insane.
“Since it’s a horse you intended to give to Ms. Taylor, why did you tie it here? If you leave it tied here, I’ll assume it’s a horse from the Schmidt family’s stable. I’m a Schmidt family scion, and I can’t even lead a horse?”
Jameson adjusted his glasses and flashed a sardonic grin. “Does that mean I can lead you with me if you’re tied up here?”
David’s face flushed with anger. “You!”
Laughter broke out among the crowd, and David’s face turned red with anger. He took a half step forward and clenched his fists.
If it weren’t for his secretary holding him back, he might have charged at Jameson.
“Jimmy, it’s just a minor issue. Let’s not spoil the atmosphere over this,” Alyssa said.
Alyssa gently touched Jameson a couple of times and go somewh
Let’s not disturb David’s meng Shall
Jameson replied softly, “Sure” He approached the splendid horse and led it away with Alyssa under everyone’s gazes. At that moment, he appeared as a prince, walking under the starry moonlight with his beloved princess
David seethed with hatred. He despised Jameson for humiliating him in public. He even took Alyssa away as if he were nothing. In the lounge. David’s chest swelled with anger
He downed a glass of whisky before hurling the glass to smithereens “That bastard. It’s just a stupid horse. What makes him so arrogant? David fumed
“Mr. David, it’s not just about the horse it’s about how he has humiliated you in front of others his secretary snapped
David was furious, “Are you saying I gave him a chance to humiliate me?”
The secretary immediately explained, “No, no, no! I’m just ticked off on your behalf! You’re the one Mr.
Victor picked for Alyssa, after all!”
“I don’t require you to be angry on my behalf. I need you to find a solution for me!” David snapped. He was visibly agitated as his eyes reddened, and his hands started to tremble.
Seeing this, the secretary hurriedly brought another glass of whiskey, which David promptly downed. His composure gradually returned, and his hands stopped shaking.
He looked all aristocratic in public. But who would have thought he relied on strong liquor to handle his emotions?
“He made e you uncomfortable. You should return the favor. At least, don’t let him enjoy his date with
Alyssa so smoothly,” the secretary whispered.
David’s eyes lit up. After a pause, he motioned for the secretary to come closer. “I’ve got an idea. Get on it right away.”
Jeremy couldn’t reach Alyssa’s phone, and Jonah couldn’t provide her whereabouts, leaving him in distress. Due to excessive anxiety, he even developed tinnitus, with his heart beating irregularly.
“Mr. Walsh, there’s an important event for Mr. Javier. You’re to attend it right away. Since you’ve recovered, making a public appearance is crucial,” Xavier emphasized.
Jeremy remained silent as he stared blankly at his dark phone screen. “Mr. Walsh, you can fall in love, but don’t let it mess with your head.”
Xavier sighed, “I get that you worry about Ms. Alyssa, but she’s an adult and can take care of herself. What could happen? This isn’t like you, You should prioritize your career.”
Jeremy frowned, “Do you think it’s wrong for me to care about her?”
Xavier cleared his throat and said, “It’s not that I
“Remember how I used to be? I was a workaholic, always focused on my job. I had a wife, but I didn’t care. I thought work was everything, and losing my status felt like losing everything.”
Jeremy slowly closed his eyes, his long lashes trembling sadly. “Later, when I lost Alyssa, I understood.
Status meant nothing compared to losing Alyssa
“Mr. Walsh, how can you say that? You used to tell me that you willingly stood in the cold heights because you knew that without power, you wouldn’t be able to protect those around you. Your pursuit of success was also for accountability to your mother!” Xavier persuaded anxiously.
Jeremy’s gaze slightly narrowed. Thinking of his mother’s tragic death, a wave of heartache overwhelmed him, making him feel suffocated.
‘Besides, you have to juggle both. You’re too focused on pleasing Ms. Alyssa and have neglected your career. What if you end up worse off than Ms. Alyssa in the future?”
Xavier smirked. “You want to be a kept man? Being one doesn’t let you hold your head high.”
Jeremy squinted his eyes as a hint of restlessness surged in his chest. Xavier’s words were harsh, but they were not without truth.
“Get the car. We’re leaving now.”
‘The Golden Ausman horse is like the Ferrari of horses. It’s a national treasure of Bahari. I used to pester my dad to get me one, but he was always worried I might have an accident while riding. He was reluctant to let me get too close to horses,” Alyssa said.
In the glow of the lights, Alyssa excitedly stroked the golden fur of the Ausman horse. The pulses beneath her fingertips made her heart race.
Suddenly, her tongue felt dry, and an image flashed in her mind, Jeremy was standing before her. He was bare and muscular, and his chest was wild and firm.
A tingling sensation surged through Alyssa’s fingertips. Her cheeks were burning.
Jeremy, who once pressed her down in her wildest desires, was like an untamed steed.
“Lyse, do you like it? Lyse?” Jameson’s voice brought her back from her wild thoughts.
Alyssa snapped out of her reverie and quickly touched her flushed cheek. Her eyes were glistening. She said, “I like it. Horses are my favorite animals.
Damn it! Why did Jeremy come into her mind as she saw the Golden Ausman horse?
Jameson walked silently behind her, his tall figure casting a beautiful silhouette.
He gazed down at her lovingly and said, “When you were a child, you told me you loved horses. Becoming a jockey was your dream.”
“That was my childhood dream,” Alyssa said with a smile. “But now, it’s not anymore. Besides, I know I’m not cut out to be a jockey.”
She didn’t mind Jameson often bringing up her childhood, even though there were things she truly couldn’t remember. She just felt the main difference between them was that she always looked ahead, while he seemed stuck in the past.
“Lyse, what’s your dream now?” Jameson’s fingers tightened. His chest rose and fell. His breaths were warm. He was tempted to embrace her.
Alyssa said, “After a while, I wanted to be a good doctor.”
Alyssa couldn’t fight alongside Jeremy, so she wished to be his support. Each time, she wished for he safe return. If he got hurt, she hoped to be the one to help.
She added, “Now. I don’t have dreams.
Alyssa’s chest felt strange with a mix of emotions. A slight smile played on her lips. “Now, I just want things to come easy. I want to enjoy the rewards without much effort and reach the top in one leap.”
Jameson softly chuckled by her ear. “Oh? Lyse, can you read minds? Let’s figure it out together.”
Alyssa raised an eyebrow. “You, a grown man, thinking of an easy life without challenges? Aren’t you lacking ambition?”
Jameson continued, “You misunderstood me. I hope my wife lives carefree.” His warm breath hinted at desire. “Be my woman and enjoy the easy life. Only men without abilities let their women suffer.”
Alyssa’s breath caught, wondering if she overthought. Jameson’s seemingly gentle words felt a bit sarcastic. Suddenly, a loud neigh broke the silence in the quiet horse stable.
