Chapter 130 Horse Riding Coach
Chapter 130 Horse Riding Coach
Faced with Sydney's steady, unwavering gaze, Julien suddenly found it difficult to look into her eyes.
He was afraid that she might see through him, so he looked away. "You look pale. It's not suitable for you to ride a horse."
When everyone heard him, they looked at Sydney’s face in unison.
Luke spoke first, "He's right, Darling. Why are you still so pale? Are you still affected by motion sickness?”
Sydney touched her own face. "Am I that pale?"
"A little,” Sharon replied.
Sydney smiled. "It's fine, then. I can ride.”
When Julien heard this, his eyebrows became tight-knit, and his expression was filled with disapproval.
Sydney did not have the slightest awareness of her pregnancy.
Could horse riding be more important than the child in her womb?
Just as Julien wanted to forcibly stop Sydney, Luke said, "Darling, why don't you go back and take a rest? You can ride a horse next time. What if you get dizzy again?”
Julien nodded in agreement. Finally, Luke did something useful this time and not just listened to whatever Sydney wanted.
However, Sydney was stubborn. She smiled and said, " I'm fine. Since I'm already here, why should I go back? I'll ride on horseback slowly. No running involved."
"Alright, then." Luke thought that it was fine, so he agreed and pulled Sydney to the stable.
Julien looked at their silhouette with his darkened expression.
Just when he felt that Luke did something useful, he regretted it the next moment.
What did she see in him? He had no persistence at all.
"Bro, come and race!" Jayden called for Julien from the other side of the park.
Julien glanced at his silly brother and ignored him. He got onto his horse and went to the other side instead.
Very quickly, Sydney and Luke picked a horse and came out of the stable.
She picked a white mare.
The mare was beautiful, and Sydney, who had changed into a red riding suit, looked even more outstanding. When Sydney stood together with the mare, the scene was picturesque enough that one would want to take a photo.
Hunter came over with his horse and whistled when he saw Sydney. "Not bad, you look like a heroine from the movies."
"Sydney, you look beautiful." Jayden was not good with words, so he did not know any flattering compliments. He used the simplest words instead.
However, the simplest words were also the most straightforward, and they could move people's hearts.
Even if Sydney never wanted to talk to anyone from the Flint Family. She threw Jayden a glance and acknowledged him. "Boy, you have a good eye."
Jayden visibly brightened up at her words.
Sydney finally talked to him.
Julien was on his horseback nearby. He looked toward the three of them who were chatting away, and he had an inexplicable sense of discomfort. He wanted to chase Hunter and Jayden away from Sydney.
Just then, Luke came out of the stable on his horseback. He went to the racetrack together with Hunter, Jayden, and Sharon.
Sydney did not want to interfere with their race, so she led her horse to the other side of the park.
She had not ridden a horse in years, and she had become unfamiliar with how to get onto a horse. When she attempted, she almost fell from the horse.
Julien had his heart at his throat when he watched her. He soon rode over and said, "When you use your left foot to get up, grab the saddle at the same time and pull yourself up. Your right leg has to get up on time as well." Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.
Sydney turned around and stared at him. "Are you coaching me?”
Julien did not deny it. "Just do as I say."
Sydney remained silent for a few moments and decided not to refuse.
After all, she came to ride a horse. Having a coach was naturally the best.
What could go wrong?
Sydney recalled Julien's words and followed the steps.
Unfortunately, she still could not get onto the horse.
When she was about to sweep her right leg across the horse, she did not stretch herself out earlier so she got stuck halfway. Worse still, she could not withdraw her leg.
She then lost her balance and fell backward.
When Julien saw that, his expression changed and he got off his horse immediately. He reached out his arm to catch her.
Sydney thought that she would fall to the ground and mentally prepared herself.
However, the pain she expected did not occur. Instead, a faint mint fragrance hit her nostrils.
Sydney opened her eyes and realized that she was in Julien's arms.
Her face turned red instantly. "Let... Let me go.”
When Julien looked down and saw her embarrassed expression, he was rather amused. He gently placed her feet on the ground but kept his hand on her waist. "Stand still. I'll push you up."
"Huh? You'll push me up?" Sydney looked at him in surprise.
Julien nodded and said, "Step up with your left foot."
Sydney subconsciously did as he instructed.
"Grab the saddle," Julien continued.
Sydney followed.
Julien let go of her waist, bent slightly, and placed one hand on her bottom, the other hand on her right leg. Sydney was lifted just like that.
Sydney felt embarrassed and awkward. After all, his hands were all in inappropriate places.
"You... Can you take your right hand off?" She turned around and looked at the man behind her.
Julien looked at his right hand, which was at her bottom. He suddenly understood and raised his eyebrow.
To be honest, he only thought about pushing her up the horse earlier, and he did not notice anything
inappropriate with his hands.
Now that he noticed it, he should have let go.
However, he was painfully aware of how good it felt.
In the end, he moved his hand from her bottom to the back of her thigh.
Sydney let out a breath of relief. With his assistance, she got up the horse with all her might.
Not far from behind, Lyra came out of the washroom and was immediately looking for Julien. She did not expect to see Julien together with Sydney.
When she saw how intimate they were, Lyra’s eyes were filled with jealousy.
She knew that whenever Sydney appeared, Julien would be attracted to her somehow.
Lyra looked down at the small bottle in her hand and a wicked smile appeared on her face.
The last time she pushed Sydney down the stairs, Sydney and her unborn child were both fine.
This time, Lyra believed that she could kill either one of them.
With a cold snort, Lyra took one last look at both of them and turned toward the rest area. She opened the bottle and threw the black material out onto a certain area of the park.
After that, she swept her hands, smiled to herself knowingly, and walked ahead.
Sydney and Julien did not notice that Lyra saw them earlier.
Sydney finally got onto the horseback.
"It's really not easy at all," Sydney said as she held onto the reins.
When Julien heard that, he wiped the sweat off his forehead.
Indeed, it was not easy.
"Thank you, President Flint." Sydney smiled at Julien.
It was not the usual sneer nor sarcasm, but a sincere, grateful smile.
Julien was momentarily dazed.
He had not seen her smile in a long time. She almost never did after the divorce.
This little moment was unexpected to him.
Julien's heart skipped a beat and he swallowed hard. He looked down and replied with a hoarse voice," You're welcome."
Sydney said nothing else. When she saw the field before her, she said, "President Flint, I’ll go take a walk on the horse.”
"Okay." Julien nodded.
Sydney tightened her legs on the horseback and the horse started galloping.
When Julien saw that she was riding rather slowly, and her movements were also controlled, he let go of his worry.
It should be fine at a speed like this.
When he thought about that, he got on his own horse again and went to the rest area.
