alright?"

Sylvie, feeling like misfortune was her shadow, had no desire to entangle herself with Joey's type Yes Searing he might cling to her because of the matter, she said to him reluctantly. "You saved me back there. Thank you"

Turning to the event staff, her voice urgent, Sylvie said, "Please hurry I'm in pain I need to go to the hospital

night now."

She was desperate to escape the premises and Jordy's potential grasp

Jordy, fuming with indignation, exclaimed, "What the hell? I risked my life to save her, and all she has is a

measly thanks?"

Isabella, witnessing the scene, glared at Sylvie but internally mocked jordy-had Jordy really expected his heroics to win Sylvie's affection?

But she kept her thoughts to herself, satisfied as long as Sylvie remained uninterested in Jordy

"Maybe you should get yourself examined by a doctor as well," suggested Isabella

Jordy, still simmering, agreed without fuss. "Alright," he replied.

Heh

believed Isabella was still the person who was treating him the best.

As the championship final loomed, Brenna and Alex both decided to use the same horses from the previous

round

Among the other eight finalists, decisions varied; some opted for fresher horses, banking on better stamina, while others, like Brenna, valued the established connection and rhythm with their current mounts

The tension was palpable; eyes full of challenge were fixed on Alex, everyone eager to dethrone him

Completely absorbed, Brenna stood by her horse, caressing its mane and murmuring words of encouragement,

oblivious to her surroundings.noveldrama

This disregard made Ethan feel invisible. Wasn't it obvious he was there just for her?

Beside Ethan, Rosie offered a light smile and suggested. "Ethan, why don't we head to the stands? It's a better

view from there."

Ethan, uninterested in leaving, dismissed her suggestion. His cool demeanor intact, he replied. "No, you go on.

I need to speak with Brenna "

Rosie, slightly irritated, said to Brenna sharply. "Brenns, than is trying to get your attention. Are you even

listening"

How dare Brenna ignore Ethan

Rosie nudged Brenna in anger

Brenna, caught off guard, turned to them, confused "Sorry, what was that the asked

Rosie, turning to Ethan, complained, "Did you see? She didn't hear a word "

Ethan chose to prioritize Brenna's preparation. He approached Brenna with an apologetic expression. He said,

I picked a terrible time to talk. I know talking to your horse helps with your synergy and performance I'm sorry for interrupting. Focus on your race, and when you win the finals, let's celebrate "

His apology was genuine.

Brenna nodded in acknowledgment. "Alright."

Both Rosic and Neville were dumbfounded, having never seen Ethan offer an apology like that before

Ethan had really just taken the initiative to apologize to Brenna.

It was downright shocking.

Neville was so stunned that he just stood there, mouth hanging open.

Rosie, even more stunned, stared at Ethan for what felt like forever before it finally hit her than might actually have feelings for Brenna

This wasn't just a fleeting crush; his actions spoke louder than words. "Ethan, I did great, too! Second place and a new personal best. Shouldn't we go and celebrate now?" Rosie hoped her longstanding friendship with Ethan would elicit some praise from him.

She waited for Ethan's compliment, eyes fixed on his face, which bore a subtle smile. Yet, his attention remained fixed on Brenna, his gaze tender.

Ethan had never looked at her that way.

In a fit of frustration, Rosie grabbed his arm and shook it. "Ethan!"

Ethan turned his attention to her and shook off her hand, his voice icy, his gaze piercing. "Don't touch me," he

said

However, when his eyes returned to Brenna, they softened significantly

The final race was imminent. Brenna, leading her horse to the starting line, was closely followed by Alex, who declared confidently, "This round, I'll beat you, Night. I'm the most skilled rider here."

The rest of the contestants glared at Alex, dismissing his boastful claim. "Not a chance!"

"We'll show you real strength!"

Alex, unbothered by the surrounding disdain, shrugged off their comments.
