Chapter 150 As Long As You Like It
After dinner, Quentin suggested a round of chess. Having no interest in chess, Owen declined to play. And so, Alexander followed Quentin to the study to play some chess with him.
Owen felt a little lonely as he headed outside of the house for a smoke by himself. From a distance, he looked lost and left out with the clouds of smoke shrouding him. His lonely figure was the first thing his assistant, Neil, saw when he went outside as well. Neil quickly approached Owen. “Young Master Owen, what happened to you?”
“I’m fine,” Owen replied.
Neil already knew what had transpired that day, and he knew Owen’s thoughts. After he looked over his shoulder, he whispered, “If you truly are interested in Miss Elise, I have an idea that you can try.”
Owen raised a brow slightly at Neils words. After a pause, he finally answered, “Tell me what it is.”
Neil then lowered his voice to whisper his plan. Owen’s expression shifted before his face lit up radiantly. “Yes, let’s do that.”
“Then, I shall get someone to start working on it. I’ll be sure to surprise you greatly tomorrow.”
Owen was pleased. “Be discreet. Do not let anything slip.”
“You can be assured that I will be careful, Young Master.”
With that, Neil turned and left. Owen stubbed out the cigarette in his hand, a profound look lying hidden within his eyes.
The next day, Elise was startled when she woke up and saw that she was in an unfamiliar place. Her mind slowly came back online before she finally thought of wondering where she was.
After she was done washing up, she picked up her cosmetics bag to apply her makeup. She only left the room pleased once she had returned to her usual ‘ugly girl’ look. The guest rooms that Elise and Alexander were staying in were both on the third floor, and the two of them stepped out of their rooms at practically the same time. Their eyes met, and Alexander’s lips curved up into a smile. “Morning!”
Elise returned his greeting before hastily approaching him. “Did you sleep well? You didn’t feel uncomfortable sleeping in a strange bed, did you?”
Alexander looked at her as he answered, “No, everything was fine.”
The worry stuck at the bottom of Elise’s heart instantly disappeared when she heard him say that. “Okay then, let’s go down together.”
After they had breakfast, everyone headed for the horse ranch. This horse ranch was a private one that Quentin bought years ago. He had quite a few handsome horses here, and these horses had specialized workers tending to their needs.
The ranch was huge. It encircled a hill, and the land was vast, vast enough for people to freely ride to their hearts’ content.
The moment Elise arrived at the horse ranch, she immediately rushed to the changing rooms to change into her riding attire. The handsome set of clothes she wore was rather fetching, and she looked absolutely bright and gallant when she paired the outfit with a set of riding boots.
“The outfit looks good on you.” Alexander did not skimp on his praise.
Elise smiled. “You should get changed too. We’ll go riding soon.”
Seeing how excited Elise was, Alexander then headed into the changing rooms as well to change into his riding clothes. When he exited the changing rooms, he bumped into Owen. Their eyes met, and both men could read the dark feeling of competition in the other’s eyes. Alexander had already noticed since yesterday the feeling of enmity radiating from Owen. Initially, he hadn’t thought much about it, but he seemingly understood something later on. Get new updates on Novelheart.com
