Angela furrowed her brow and looked at Patrick, saying, “Patrick, thank you for helping me, but I really don’t want you to get involved in this. It’s my personal matter!”

Seeing the displeasure in Angela’s eyes, Patrick felt as if his heart had been pricked with a needle, and his face turned a shade paler.

She didn’t say anything more, turned around, and entered the elevator with Kenneth following her

Meanwhile, Patrick stood outside the elevator with his head hung low, unable to see his expression. However, he knew that his words had probably hurt Angela.

Once the elevator doors closed, Kenneth sneered, “You were just trying to protect Patrick from me with your little act back there, weren’t you? How quick of you to distance yourself from him and look out for him?”

Angela looked at him with a poker face and replied, “It has nothing to do with you.”

“Say it has nothing to do with me one more time!” Kenneth retorted.

Having been at odds with Angela lately, Kenneth’s patience was wearing thin. He didn’t know what he might do if she continued to be so cold Toward him.

With a look of indifference and a hint of helplessness, Angela asked him, “What exactly do you want!”

Kenneth’s expression was grim as he stared at Angela. “Come back to me, and I pretend none of this ever happened.”

Upon hearing this, Angela lowered her gaze and, after a moment, responded, “I can’t do that. Our only option now

He protested, “Angela, I’ve already explained to you that there’s nothing between me and Jennie anymore. Why can’t you

Angela took a deep breath and shook her head, saying, “It’s not about me holding onto that. I just want a divorce, that’s all.” Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

let it go?!

“If it’s impossible, then let’s just lead our separate lives without interfering in each other’s affairs.”

Angela’s clear eyes reflected Kenneth’s figure, but the affection that once filled them was gone, leaving only a dead calm..

“Lead our separate lives?” Kenneth uttered these words through gritted teeth, radiating a chilling presence as if he could freeze everything around him

Angela nodded. “Yes, if you can accept that, then I won’t mention divorce again”

The elevator then fell into a suffocating silence, with Kenneth looking at her coldly, his eyes deep and unreadable.

With a ding, the elevator doors opened, and Kenneth dragged Angela back to their room, then threw her onto the bed.

Angela frowned, trying to get up from the bed, but Kenneth quickly got on top of her, trapping her underneath him.

He stared angrily at Angela’s face. “Since you want to play, then I’ll play along with you!”

The next second, Kenneth began to unbutton Angela’s blouse.

Angela’s expression shifted slightly, and she grabbed his hand, saying coldly, “Kenneth, I have absolutely no interest in you now!”

Kenneth smiled eerily as he slowly said, “But I’m not done with you yet. Maybe when I am, I’ll let you go. How about we make this our deal?”

“If I had any feelings for you, maybe I’d consider your offer. But now, I feel disgusted every time you touch me!” she retorted.

Kenneth’s expression turned grimmer as he stared at Angela and said indifferently, “Disgusted? Didn’t you enjoy it last time at the hotel?”

Angela sneered, “That was because I was drugged and out of my senses. It could have been any man, and I would have reacted the same way”

“Say that again, I dare you!” he demanded.

Angela raised an eyebrow and scoffed, “You wouldn’t want me to rely on drugs to suppress my disgust for you every you?!

Kenneth glared at Angela, his eyes filled with fury, looking as if he wanted to strangle her then and there.

Angela pusled him away and got up from the bed, looking at him coldly as she spoke. “If you have needs, go find Jennifer. After all, this isn’t the first time for you two.”

Upon hearing this, Kenneth frowned, “Angela. I’ve already explained to you that there’s nothing between Jennie and me!”

“Sure, if you say there’s nothing, there’s nothing then” She shrugged.

As Kenneth gazed at Angela’s indifferent expression, an overwhelming sense of frustration and irritation welled up within him. It was as if, no matter how he tried to explain, Angela remained unterly indifferent to his words.

This version of Angela made him feel helpless and unsure how to deal with her.

After a moment of silence, Kenneth got up and left the room.

Angela wasn’t concerned about where he went. After resting for a while, she applied sunscreen and decided to stroll around the resort.

She had come here to have fun, not to argue with Kenneth.

As Angela wandered around, she found herself in the horseback riding area.

It had been a long time since she last rode a horse, and she felt a sudden urge to do so. The promise of horseback riding was one of the reasons she agreed to come to the resort with Beatrice.

Angela headed toward the work area near the stables, where there were not only various horse tacks but also riding gear for rent. Of course, one could also purchase them, albeit at a much higher

price.

As she walked in, a staff member approached her, asking, “Ms. Lewis, how can I assist you?”

Angela nodded. “Td like to buy a set of riding gear and some horse tack.”

“Sure, the riding gear is on the left. Please follow me,” said the staff member

Angela picked out a maroon color riding outfit, complete with gloves, a safety helmet, and boots. After purchasing a riding crop and tack, she changed into her new attire and followed the staff to the stable to choose a horse.

The

se instructor picked out a relatively smaller horse for her based on her height.

“Ms. Lewis, this horse is gentle and suitable for ladies. You can spend some time getting familiar with the horse. I’ll lead it around slowly at first, and then you can try to pick up the pace, the instructor suggested.

Angela glanced at the horse recommended by the instructor, but her gaze swept around and settled on a sturdy chestnut–haired horse in the

CONCE

She pointed at that horse with her crop and said, “I want that one.”

The instructor was surprised, and just as he was about to speak, a mocking voice sounded from behind,

“Some folks, I swear, have no idea where they get their confidence from. They’ll go ahead and take on a wild horse like it’s no big deal, as if they’re not worried about falling and getting themselves

seriously injured!”

As Angela turned around and saw Kenneth, Henry, and the others standing not far away, she couldn’t help but frown.

Debra was the one who had spoken just now. Seeing how brazen Debra still was right now. Angela felt that she hadn’t learned her lesson from the last incident yet. Otherwise, Debra wouldn’t have started provoking Angela so soon.

Henry glanced at Kenneth, who was expressionless, and frowned at Debra, Debra, maybe keep your comments to yourself!”

Debra’s face then turned sour. Just as she was about to retort, Jennifer intervened. “Henry, Debra is just concerned for Angela. After all, that horse is a wild oor, and Angela might fall off it.”

Henry didn’t want to argue with the women over Angela, so he remained silent.

Not bothering to waste her breath with them, Angela turned to the instructor and said. “Til take that one. Please bring it over. There are too many llies here. They’re annoying me.”

Debra angrily gritted her teeth, thinking. The stable is cleaned daily. Where would there be flies around here! Angela is deliberately insulting me and Jennifer

As she seethed, someone suddenly grabbed her wrist.

Turning around. Debra saw Jennifer giving her a look, signaling Debra to wait and watch the drama unfold

Jennifer was pleased at the thought of Angela choosing a wild horse and potentially getting injured or even killed.

Jennifer believed that Angela, a country girl mised in a rural village, couldn’t possibly know how to ride a horse.

Owen looked amused as he thought, Judging by Kenneth’s demeanor, he must have argued with Angela again. Otherwise, he wouldn’t just stand there watching her choose that wild horse without trying to stop her.”

Upton couldn’t help but frown, “Kenneth, even I might not be able to handle that horse. Angela will definitely get hurt. You should go talk to her

about it.”

He felt that Kenneth, as Angela’s husband, was the most qualified person to advise her in this situation.

Kenneth looked indifferent, and his eyes were devoid of any warmth.

“She chose the horse herself. If she gets hurt, it’s her own doing
