NovelBookChapter 389 A Close Call When he thought about what Sierra had said when she accepted his confession, Theo's heart still pounded uncontrollably. He refused to let anyone speak ill of that sincere yet fragile woman.
His eyes remained locked on Sierra, who was gently bonding with her horse, completely oblivious to the jealousy on Melody's face.
"I'll teach you." Watching her whispering to the horse with their heads pressed together, he couldn't resist any longer and stepped forward.
Sierra glanced up at him. Then, she tilted her head toward Melody, who hadn't moved. "Are you two done talking?" He nodded and said in a magnetic voice, "There wasn't much to talk about-just business." She frowned slightly. If they were discussing work, why had Melody been smiling so flirtatiously and standing so close? She didn't press the issue and simply nodded before continuing to walk her horse.

She glanced at the staff nearby and hesitated. "Maybe you should ride. They can teachinstead." A staff member stepped forward, ready to take over.
"Go help someone else. I'll handle this." He dismissed them without a second thought.
Seeing that, Sierra had no choice but to obey. She grabbed onto the saddle and tried to mount the horse. After several failed attempts, frustration crept in. Just as she was about to give up, Melody trotted over on a white horse.
"Ms. Shaw, have you never ridden before?" Sierra lowered her gaze to conceal her irritation. Her voice was crisp. "No." Melody froze for a moment. Then, she let out a mocking laugh, her eyes full of disdain. She was just about to make a sarcastic remark when Sierra suddenly yelped.
"Ah... Theo!" Sierra's body stiffened as a strong pair of arms lifted her onto the horse.
That was when Melody finally noticed Theo's hands at Sierra's waist. Her expression darkened instantly, and jealousy nearly drove her mad.
Why did Sierra, someone who couldn't even mount a horse, get such special treatment? Theo, who had always kept his distance from women, had just carried her and placed her on horseback.
While Melody stood there in stunned disbelief, Theo led Sierra's horse in a slow circle.
Taking a deep breath, her eyes flickered with a sinister glint as she watched Sierra's glowing smile.

Her fingers tightened around the Then, with a Then, reins of her whitehore steeling flicker of hesitation before herself, she pressed her heels hard into the horse's sides. "Hiss..."
The horse neighed in pain and bolted forward. Melody adjusted the reins, steering the animal straight, Sierra. She feigned panic and shouted in a shrill voice, "Ah help met Theo, move out of the way!"
allowing Sierra to try riding on her Theo had just let go of the reins, own, when a sharp dry rang out m behind him. He turned just in tto see Melody's horse charging straight at them. "Sierra!" His first instinct was to grab her, but she was too far, and the runaway horse was coming way too fast. He wouldn't make it in time.
Melody seized the moment, her body tilting tically to the side. "Theo, save me. Ah! Oh my god!" Sierra heard her cries but didn't turn around. Instead, she focused on steadying her own slightly agitated horse.
But then, the white horse crashed into hers. A sharp pain shot through her leg, and for a moment, she felt herself being thrown into the air.
