Chapter 128: A Perfect Ending
Evelyn felt heat rush to her cheeks at his words, his gaze causing butterflies to flutter in her stomach. They had been so busy and caught up over the past few weeks that she hadn’t seen this side of her darling husband, one that was reserved solely for her for the rest of their lives.
She missed their teasing battles, catching each other off guard, which made her feel giddy like a high school girl walking with her crush for the first time.
The workers quickly followed Zevian’s orders and brought Dazzle again. The black horse looked majestic, ready for another ride as it neighed excitedly under Zevian’s caress.
"She’s missed you so much," one of the workers commented, most of them happy to see their young master back, just like Dazzle. Zevian used to visit the farm often to relax and de-stress from his busy life. But after Katherine’s death, he stopped horse riding, even when he visited with Rosalind.
Evelyn, who had been all smiles until then, suddenly frowned at the middle-aged man’s words. She had been so caught up in looking after Kiana that she failed to notice Dazzle was a female horse. Her eyes squinted as she observed how the horse responded to Zevian’s pats, his warm smile, and attention keeping her happy.
"How long has she been here?" Evelyn asked.
"Dazzle is the young master’s first horse, Madam," the stable head replied with a smile. Turning to Dazzle and Zevian, he added, "Elder Master brought her when he was fifteen, and they share quite a strong bond. Dazzle doesn’t let anyone else near her except him."
Gritting her teeth, Evelyn forced out a smile at the man. She couldn’t stop herself from glaring slightly at the horse, something Zevian noticed from afar.
With a smile, he walked over, letting the stable head take Dazzle away to prepare for their ride. Evelyn watched the horse until it disappeared from sight. Zevian, now standing beside her, asked with an amused smile, "Are you jealous?"
