Gianna desperately wanted to ride alongside Vincent to show off their closeness and make Amelia jealous, but Vincent either ignored her or was too caught up in his own excitement. Frustrated yet restrained by the reality show’s rules, Gianna considered riding with her brother Miguel instead, hoping that would provoke Amelia’s envy in a different way.
Amelia, meanwhile, gracefully mounted her horse and declined Jeremy’s offer to ride together, choosing instead to race him. Jeremy accepted her decision with a smile, clearly interested in Amelia despite her refusal, which did not go unnoticed by Sabrina, who felt a painful twist of jealousy as she watched Jeremy’s focused attention on Amelia.
Gianna pretended to be scared of riding, prompting Miguel to help her onto a horse. Without hesitation, Miguel climbed on behind her, holding her close as they rode together. Their intimate posture was captured by the cameras, and Gianna glanced toward Amelia, daring her silently and trying to flaunt their closeness. Amelia noticed but did not show any outward reaction, secretly enjoying the spectacle and hoping it would draw even more attention.
Rumors were already spreading about Amelia and Miguel, though Amelia believed the gossip was only about her and Jeremy. Online viewers scrutinized every move, expressing annoyance at Gianna’s boldness and the apparent manipulation of Miguel. The tension among the contestants grew, with every interaction magnified under the watchful eyes of the cameras, setting the stage for further conflicts and rivalries.
Chapter 329: You Run, I’ll Chase!
Gianna desperately wanted Vincent to wait for her. She longed to ride alongside him on the same horse, imagining how impressive they would look together. It was all about making Amelia envious—she wanted to flaunt their closeness, to stir a little jealousy in her rival.
But Vincent, that infuriating man, either got so caught up in his own excitement that he didn’t even notice her, or perhaps he was deliberately ignoring her. Gianna couldn’t tell which was worse. Her patience was running thin, and she felt the first sparks of irritation flickering inside her.
However, since they were filming a reality show, she had to keep her temper in check—no shouting, no swearing, no public scenes. Trapped by the rules, she glanced sideways at Miguel, searching for another way to shine.
If she couldn’t parade alongside Vincent, maybe riding with her brother would do the trick. At least that was something Amelia could never be jealous of. Gianna’s mind raced with the possibilities, though she knew Amelia secretly hoped she’d cling to her doting brothers. Amelia didn’t care about anything else.
Meanwhile, Amelia smoothly swung herself onto a horse, her movements fluid and graceful. She patted the animal’s neck gently, her eyes sparkling with anticipation for the upcoming ride.
“Do you want me to ride with you?” Jeremy asked, looking at her with a hopeful expression.
Jeremy’s usual stubbornness made him dislike sharing a horse with anyone. In fact, he’d never done it before. But with Amelia, he was willing to make an exception.
“No, thanks. I want to ride alone. You can take your own horse. Let’s race and see who’s faster,” Amelia replied firmly, refusing without a second thought.
Jeremy shrugged but smiled. “Okay, your call.”
Though a little disappointed, he found the idea of racing Amelia thrilling enough. Without wasting a moment, he picked a horse and mounted it swiftly.
[Look! Mr. Curran wanted to ride with Amelia, and even after she said no, he still looks so sweet and caring!]
[You run, I’ll chase. There’s no way to escape!]
[I love how genuine they are. They’re not a couple, but they feel like one.]
[They understand each other with just a look.]
[Who cares if Mr. Curran has a fiancée? That’s not really his choice. I still think he and Amelia belong together!]
[Totally agree with the above.]
Sabrina noticed Jeremy’s gaze never left Amelia. He didn’t speak to her once—not a single question or word. That strange, tight feeling twisted painfully in Sabrina’s chest.
She kept her emotions hidden, instead choosing a snow-white horse. She mounted it with calm ease, her relaxed demeanor having won her many admirers.
By this point, only Gianna and Miguel remained off their horses.
“Miguel, I’m scared. I don’t think I can get on,” Gianna said, turning on her most innocent, pleading look.
She pretended to be clueless about riding, acting too frightened to even try.
