Both horses were still moving forward. Since Wesley and Mara refused to stop, the security guard didn't hold back. He spurred his horse, caught up, and grabbed the reins of their horse.
Anyone working security at the stables had top-notch equestrian skills.
“I told you, there’s a problem with this horse. Are you getting down yourselves, or do I have to pull you down?”
“My friend, if there’s a problem with the horse, why did your stable rent it to guests?” Wesley finally reined in the horse, dismounted, and then carefully helped Mara down.
But the moment they saw Natalie, they understood everything.
“This is your doing, isn’t it? You’re jealous that I’m with Wesley!”
Natalie ignored Mara and looked straight at Wesley. “Don’t you think you owe me an explanation?”
“Mara was upset and just wanted me to come out with her for a bit,” Wesley said, not looking the least bit ashamed. This was his usual style.
“Just for a bit? She has four older brothers. Why did she have to ask you? Aren’t you afraid people will say you’re playing both sides? You can’t possibly be this clueless about her intentions, can you?”
“Playing both sides? What do you mean?” Mara seemed to be unaware that the two were engaged.
“It means exactly what it sounds like. Our engagement ceremony is on the sixth of next month. I hope that in the future, you’ll stop trying to seduce other people’s boyfriends. Next time, it won’t be just a simple warning.” Natalie said, looking down at her from atop her horse.
Mara instantly lost her composure. “You shameless man-stealer! Wesley, tell me it’s not true!” she shrieked, grabbing his arm.
“‘Shameless’ is a word that suits you better. No one in the world is more shameless than you. Wesley, answer her.”
“It’s true.”
“Wesley, how could you?”
“Why couldn’t he?” Natalie interjected. “Before, he was your sister Mira’s fiancé, and you kept hitting on him. That wasn't my business. But now, he’s my fiancé. If you keep up your fickle, shameless behavior, don’t blame me for not being polite.”
