"I love horses more than carriages. The touch of gentle breeze makes me feel carefree and closer to nature. I can share a horse with you.

"

n

"........

"

nAs if jolted by lightning, his whole body trued stiff when she held his hand. Not to forget that she actually wanted to ride a horse with him! Share a horse with him!! And her line.. Was it not his all this time?

n

"Well, if you want to ride in a carriage then it is fine too!

" Evan looked at his stunned face and felt a bit embarrassed. She did not want to surprise him. She just wanted to have another ride on the horse.

nSince the place was not far away, he could hold the reins of the horse and walk while she would sit on the horse! But she forgot that they had just met, so she should not be so demanding.

nShe was about to let go of his hands and take a step back when he held her hands this time.

nWhen Raymond saw her going back, he anxiously held her hands back and looked at her with nervy eyes.

n

"That would save a lot of time and effort. Shall we go then?

" he asked in a bit gasty voice that even his words sound incoherent.

nBut before she could not accept his offer, the door of the side room opened, and Leo's drop dead cold face appeared from inside.

nHis handsome face was colder when he looked at the person standing in front of him and instead of looking at their faces, his gaze was still on their entwined hands and his gaze turned sharp.

nRaymond let go of her hands instinctively and felt embarrassed. Though Leo did not like Evan, she was still his future wife. His anger was justified. He should wait until they both separate and only then take steps towards the girl!

n

"My lord!

" Raymond bowed his head with respect and to appease his anger too but the man did not reply.

nWhen Evan looked at the man, she fumed. She did not want to talk to a man who did not have any integrity. One moment, he asked her to help him in getting rid of Olivia and the next moment, he planned to go to her house with his whole family! And he did not even think it was necessary to inform her.

nShe did not want to waste her emotions on that kind of man. She took hasty steps towards the other side, to get rid of him that she did not notice that the red carpet was uneven from the other side.

nHer high heels got entangled in it and she tripped over it. Her whole blood flew backwards but just before she could fall onto the floor, a strong pair of arms held her tightly in this place.

nHis hands were on her waist and her whole body was leaning on his chest while his lips ended up in the crook of her neck.

n

".......

" the sudden event stunned all three of them. Leo had wrapped his arms around her shoulders instinctively.

nHe looked at her red face and closed eyes and the frightened expressions on her face. It looked very adorable to him. His hands itched to rub his fingers on her eyebrows and sooth them down.

nShe was always this carefree and reckless around everyone. Why did she not have a sense of self awareness around others! Could he not see how the man was looking at her?

nHis eyes flashed with the scene of Raymond holding her hands and his grip on her waist tightened. He stared at the man who was trying to claim the girl with the animalistic look. Like a beast who tried to mark his territory, his eyes glowed as if giving a threat to the other girl.

nEvan who had balanced herself and was about to move away, she felt him pulling her towards him and she felt closer to his chest again. He pressed her with more force on his chest. Though Leo acted so furiously, he himself did not understand why he did so as his actions were out of instinct.

nWhen he looked at the frown on her face, he finally let her go and helped her in steading herself. But he still was unsure of his actions as his whole expressions turned into a frown.

nRaymond looked stunned with the change of events.

nAs a man he could understand what Leo was trying to convey! But why? Could it be that he was interested in her and rumors were wrong? Raymond never felt so torn in his life again.

nLeo, who was feeling gloomy when he had seen the entangled hands of both of them, seems to have dissipated when he saw the stunned expressions of Raymond and then the look of disappointment in his eyes. He only let her go when the bright eyes of the Raymond turned dim.

nHe was so immersed in looking at Raymond that he did not notice the complex emotions passed through the eyes of Evan. her eyes gleamed but she controlled her expressions and her face turned cold again. She could feel his cold fingers holding her waist and his hot breath touching her nape.

nA funny feeling formed in the pit of her stomach. Both of them looked like a passionate couple in the eyes of the spectators.

n

"Thank you.

" she whispered as she looked on the floor and distanced herself from him.

n

"Where were you? Have I not asked you to come and meet me in my office?

" though he was scolding her, traces of possession could be seen in his eyes.

n

"My lord, we are going to have lunch together!

" he bowed his head and Leo's eyes turned cold. But before he could say anything, Olivia come from the other side, and stood in front of him with a smile,

n

"My lord, shall we go too?

" she asked as she fluttered her eyes and Leo nodded,

n

"Since we all were going for lunch, let's go together.

"
