Love is the Sunshine novel Chapter 172

Johnny was dumbfounded by Carla's bold advice.

'You are just a woman. How dare you challenge me like that? How demeaning!'

He sneered on the horseback. "I won't compete with a woman," Johnny said contemptuously, deciding to dismount from the horse instantly.

"Well, does it mean that you look down upon women? Or is it just an excuse for you to save your face from being defeated by a woman?" Carla said with a sly smile on her face. She was quite self-confident at this moment.

In fact, she was genuinely interested in horse racing and was eager to have a try. She wanted to compete with Terence initially, but later she gave up the idea thinking of the possibility that Terence might conceal his ability and let her win. If so, it would end up being a boring game.

Hearing this, Johnny shot a weird glance at Carla. 'Um-hmm, you haughty woman, how dare you provoke me?'

"Haha, what a wild mare your girlfriend is! Terence, I guess you should hold the reins and discipline your girlfriend. She is way too naughty!"

Terence looked at Carla lovingly. "Come on, Johnny! Don't be so boring. Now that Carla is so enthusiastic in it, why don't you compete with her? Don't take it seriously. Just have some fun! You won't be so mean and turn it down, will you?"

Terence tried every last weapon in his arsenal to fulfil Carla's dream. He didn't want to disappoint her. It was OK if she lost the game. After all, Johnny was an expert in horse riding. It was understandable and comprehensible if Carla was no match for him eventually.

On the other hand, if she won the game luckily, it would be a big surprise and everyone would think highly of Carla and him. It was a win-win situation for all.

Terence's words left Johnny speechless. 'I considered you as my strongest opponent. I hadn't expected you to be such a henpecked guy. Shame on you!' he thought as he stared at Terence.

"Alright then, but don't expect me to show any mercy on the grounds that she is a woman," said Johnny scornfully. Without bothering to take another look at Carla, Johnny spurred the horse and waited on the starting line.

Carla gave Terence a wink and whispered in his ear, "Terence, what if I actually win the game? Would you feel humiliated or surprised?"

Then she smiled knowingly, got on the horse and spurred forward to the starting line.

Terence gave her a wry smile in return. He was defeated by Johnny just a while ago.

If she really won the game, that would in turn be interpreted as she being a better rider than him, which was a blatant lie.

But nevertheless, he would not feel humiliated being defeated by his dearest girlfriend. Instead, it was Johnny that would lose his honor if he ended up being no match to her.

'Could she really defeat such an excellent horse rider?'

Terence couldn't help asking himself curiously.
