Cordelia paused and looked at Stella, who had a strained face and a rigid expression.
“Alright, then. Take Stella along with you. She just mentioned that she hasn't seen Juno for a while.”
Stella was confused; she had not said that. She stared at Cordelia in disbelief, ‘She's so good at creating opportunities.’Keegan hesitated for a moment and glanced at her with impatience, "Come along, then."
Stella could not believe the look on his face, 'What a scumbag. Does he really think | want to go? Forget it.
There's no point in engaging with someone illogical."
Imitating Jaylene's tone, Stella sarcastically said, "Sorry for the trouble, Keegan."
Keegan and Jaylene did not say a word.novelbin
The horse trainer was grooming Juno as the group approached the stable. Juno became restless when it saw them, pacing backand forth, almost impatient.
Juno was taller and more robust than other horses. Those unfamiliar with horses would feel an overwhelming pressure juststanding close to it.
Jaylene was awed by Juno's strong appearance. After seeing the scar on one of its eyes, she said, "Juno really is agood horse. It's a pity it lost an eye."
Keegan reached out to stroke Juno's mane and calmly said," No one is perfect, horses included. Although Juno runs fast, it'schallenging to tame. They often choose obedient horses in horse racing. Horses that are hard to train, such as Juno, may faceelimination despite their speed. It suffered an injury to its eye during training, a consequence of being whipped."
"Poor thing. That must have hurt," Jaylene said softly.
Stella glanced at Keegan. She assumed that in line with his straightforward thinking, he'd likely say something like,"Well, duh."
But Keegan said, "It was definitely painful, but I'm sure it's happy knowing that someone cares about it.”
Stella was utterly confused by his response. She began to reassess Keegan, ‘Could amnesia change a person's character andmorality?"
Keegan was someone who lacked an understanding of emotions. He was not good at consoling others. Not making mattersworse was already a sign of elevated emotional intelligence for him.
Glancing at Jaylene, who was trying to caress Juno, Stella suddenly said, "Jaylene, Juno recognizes its master. It has only letGrandma and Keegan touch it for so many years. It will get angry if a stranger touches it."While speaking, she sneaked a glance at Keegan. Unfortunately, he remained expressionless.
Jaylene hesitated for a moment before reaching out to touch Juno. She found that it behaved very docilely, showing no signs ofresistance. ’
She smirked and said, "It seems quite gentle. Having worked with many horses during my equestrian training, I've found that ifthey willingly allow you to touch them, they approve of you."
This remark was clearly aimed at Stella. She was not happy," You know how to ride horses?""| learned it with Trevor," Jaylene said. Suddenly, she added, "Keegan, can | take Juno for a couple of laps?"Keegan hadn't spoken yet when Stella said, "Jaylene, Juno isn't easy to tame. What if it throws you off? This isn't a game."
"Juno is a spirited stallion. You can have the trainer lead it around if you're up for a ride. Or, | can take you for a ride when I'm inbetter shape," said Keegan.
Stella's eyelids twitched, 'What the hell?! He did not suggest this when | said | wanted to ride Juno with him back then.’
