Chapter 63


    Seeing Silvia’s nonchnt expression, Neil felt an overwhelming sense of frustration and irritation. No


    matter how many times he exined himself, she seemed indifferent to it.


    He felt helpless as he did not know how to interact with her.


    After a brief silence, he left the room.


    Silvia paid him no mind. After some rest, she applied sunscreen and headed out to explore the resort.


    She was there to have fun, not to quarrel with Neil.


    She roamed around and ended up at the horseback riding center.


    It had been ages since shest rode a horse, so she was excited. It was the main thing that swayed


    her decision to visit the resort with Abalene.


    She walked over to the work area next to the stables. There were all kinds of horse tack, and they even


    offered riding apparel for rent. Of course, purchasing was an option too, but it came at a significantly


    higher cost.


    As soon as she walked in, a staff member approached her.


    “Hello, Miss Pond. How can I help you?”


    “I’d like to buy a set of riding apparel and some gear,” Silvia said.


    “Sure thing. The riding apparel section is on your left. Follow me.”


    Silvia chose a maroon equestrian jacket, a pair of gloves, a helmet, and a pair of boots. Then, she


    bought a riding crop and other gear. Once she was done, she changed her outfit and entered the stable


    to pick a horse with the staff.


    Taking her height into ount, the instructor rmended a smaller horse.


    “Miss Pond, this horse is docile and more suitable for women riders. Take some time to familiarize


    yourself with it. After that, I’ll walk in front of the horse as I help you guide it around at a leisurely pace.


    Then, you can try to go faster.”


    Silvia looked at the horse he suggested and nced around. A sturdy chestnut-colored horse in the


    corner caught her eye.


    She pointed at it with her riding crop and said, “I want that one.”


    A hint of surprise shed in the instructor’s eyes. He was about to respond when a scornful voice rang


    out behind them.

    “I wonder why some people are so confident about picking an aggressive horse. Doesn’t she realize


    that she could die if she falls from it?”


    Silvia turned around and scowled when she saw Neil, Henry, and a few others standing behind her.


    The voice belonged to Snow. It appeared that the incident with Devotion did not leave asting impact.


    If not, she would not have begun provoking Silvia so quickly.


    When Henry saw Neil’s straight face, he frowned and turned to Snow. “Don’t provoke her!”


    Snow’s expression darkened slightly. Before she could say anything, Ada interrupted, “Henry, Snow’s


    just giving her a friendly warning. She’s worried that Silvia might fall off the horse.”


    Henry did not want to argue with Snow and Ada because of Silvia, so he fell silent.


    Silvia could not be bothered with them. She turned to the instructor and said, “I want that one. Can you


    please bring it to me? There are too many pests here. They’re quite annoying.”


    Snow was furious. The stable was cleaned every day, so there were no actual pests around. Silvia was


    clearly referring to her


    and Ada.


    Before she could retort, someone grabbed her hand.


    She turned and saw Ada winking at her. They just had to wait for the drama to unfold.


    Silvia grew up in the countryside, so this had to be her first attempt at horseback riding.


    Since she had picked an aggressive horse, she would likely fall from it. If she was lucky, she would


    escape with minor injuries. If she was unlucky, she would die. Regardless of the oue, Snow


    eagerly anticipated it.


    David also seemed ready for a show. When he saw Neil’s expression, he knew that Neil must have


    quarreled with Silvia. Otherwise, he would not just watch her pick that aggressive horse in silence.


    Ryan looked on with a frown and said, “Neil, forget Silvia. I don’t even think I can tame that horse.


    She’ll definitely get hurt, so you better tell her to pick another one.”


    Neil was her husband after all, so he was the most suitable person to persuade her.


    However, he remained aloof as he looked at Silvia.


    “She picked the horse herself. If she gets hurt, it’s her own doing.”
