Chapter 311 She Knew Her Limits
After finishing the call, Marlon returned to find that Tobias and the others had already ridden away. Lucas remained in place, his hands now equipped with additional gear.
Marion hurried over, “Sorry, my assistant called to confirm my upcoming performances for the next few months.‘
“How many performances do you have ahead?” This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.
Marion glanced at him, “Not many, just two.”
She had mostly declined due to the International nature of the events as she was not eager for extensive travel.
Lucas, holding knee guards, said, “Come here, let me help you put these on.”
Marion hesitated and reached out, “I can manage on my own.”
It felt awkward, especially with so many people around!
It was a weekend, and the equestrian center was bustling with activity. Lucas raised an eyebrow but did not say anything as he placed the knee guards in her hands.
As Marion received them, her hand sagged a bit. Did he notice her initial fumble?
She stole a glance at Lucas, who was looking down at her. Feeling self–conscious, Marion retracted her gaze and sat down nearby.
Hmm, which side was up, and which side was down?
After some pondering, she still could not figure it out. In the end, she blushed and sought help from Lucas, “Um… I don’t know how to put these on.”
She felt rather unsophisticated at the moment.
Lucas glanced at her without saying anything. He simply took back the knee guards and then crouched down in front of her, “Stretch out your leg.”
Marion obediently complied.
A little kid nearby piped up, “Mom, that lady doesn’t know how to put on knee guards.”
Marion remained silent.
Embarrassed, the kid’s mother, profusely apologized. Marion feigned composure, “It’s okay, it’s my first time horseback riding, so I’m not familiar with this.”
“Stretch out your left leg straight.”
Upon hearing Lucas’s words, Marion almost could not hold back a chuckle. She quickly diverted her eyes and obediently stretched out her left leg, “Sure.”
Chapter 311 She knew her Limits
For the waist guard, Marion did not try to show off her skills and allowed Lucas to help her put it on
His hands moved from in front of Marion to behind her carefully avoiding her waist, yet Marion felt as if she had been embraced.
She watched Lucas, who was focused on fastening the waist guard for her, and her heartbeat quickened with each passing moment.
Lucas had long eyelashes, a prominent nose, and rosy lips…
Lost in her thoughts, Marion suddenly snapped back to reality when Lucas raised his head. Her lips. tingled slightly, and Marion widened her eyes, instinctively touching her lip.
Did he just… kiss her forehead?
“Is it tight?” Lucas looked at her as if nothing had happened.
“N–no, it’s not tight,” she stammered.
“Good.”
He responded casually, his dark gaze lingering on her red lips, hinting at a surge of emotions within. However, the next moment when he looked up, his eyes were clear and composed.
“Just wait a moment,” Lucas said before starting to put on his gear.
Marion watched as he adjusted the waist guard, noticing how slim and defined his waist was.
‘It must feel comfortable to be held by him,‘ she thought to herself.
Realizing her thoughts, she quickly averted her
gaze.
Lucas finished gearing up quickly. “Let’s go, we’ll choose a horse.”
As it was Marion’s first time, she followed Lucas’s lead in selecting a horse.
“Which one do you like?” The staff brought out two horses. One was slightly smaller than the other. It was a gentle mare suitable for beginners, and the other a majestic black stallion.
Marion found it hard to look away from the impressive black horse. “This horse is so handsome!”
It was her first time being so close to a horse that was nearly two meters tall. Its powerful limbs and glossy coat shone in the sunlight.
It was a beauty!
Marion reluctantly tore her gaze away and pointed to the gentle mare. “I’ll go with this one.”
It was her first time, so it was better not to risk falling too hard.
However, Lucas chose the black horse she had admired. “How about this one? He is called Windchaser.
Marion blinked. “I–I probably can’t ride that.”
