Isabella kept the fact that the Gates and Shaffer
families jointly developed the horse ranch in mind
because she was afraid to bump into Seth.
Fortunately, they didn’t encounter anyone they
knew before entering the pasture, let alone Seth.
Gordon took good care of her at first, but as Tyrone
and the others teased him, he ended up mingling
with the other men.
While Isabella knew how to ride a horse, she was
not that proficient in it. The last time she had any

mood to teach her. Therefore, she felt uneasy while
holding the reins at this moment and didn’t dare to
squeeze the horse’s belly too hard, fearing it might
suddenly bolt.
Meanwhile, Lyra and Freya were chatting with each

she looked to be ousted. Unknowingly, the men’s
female companions had surrounded her.
“Isabella, where are you currently working?”

they were getting along well with Isabella.
Isabella found it quite repulsive–a group of young

Then, Isabella tightened the reins and suddenly
raised her leg to kick the horse on her left, followed
by kicking the one on the right. Both horses were
startled at the same time and neighed in unison
