Chapter 365

After several minutes of driving through the countryside, the two cars finally pulled over at the gate of

the enchanting Moon Lake Manor.

Eliana stepped out of the car first. Before entering the estate, she looked back worriedly at Nana and

the twins.

A few meters away, Nana was busy assisting Aileen and Adrian out of the car.

Seeing the three of them walk into the manor smoothly, Eliana finally breathed a sigh of relief and

smiled.

“What are you looking at?” Corbin asked, approaching Eliana from behind.

Eliana was startled by Corbin’s question. She immediately changed her expression and pretended that

nothing had happened. “I can’t help but appreciate the beautiful surroundings. The Moon Lake Manor is

so breathtaking that I was enjoying the view.”

Her words rang true. The Moon Lake Manor was indeed a wonderful sight to behold. Looking like a

setting from a fairytale, the luxurious property was built around the dazzling Moon Lake Spring.

Inside the manor, there were vintage buildings that stood tall. Every corner was a pleasant picture of

captivating scenery. Vast greenery, colorful flowers, and ripe fruits stimulated the senses of every

visitor.

Narrowing his eyes in suspicion, Corbin carefully assessed the situation.

Something didn’t feel right. He thought that he had seen Nana just moments ago.

But when he walked over to get a closer look, the figure had suddenly disappeared.

Were his eyes playing tricks on him?

Was it because he missed Nana so much that he was starting to daydream about her?

Corbin shook his head and chuckled at himself. He would not allow himself to become some lovesick

fool.

“Hey. Aren’t you going to take me to Maurice? Time’s ticking. Let’s go.” Eliana quickly changed the

topic and urged him inside.

Hearing her words, Corbin snapped back into reality. He remembered his assignment and forgot the

figure he had just seen.

“Right. Come follow me.”

Leading the way into the manor, Corbin beckoned Eliana to walk closely behind him.

The pair went deeper into the remote parts of the extensive estate. Instead of going to the house to

have a quick rest, Eliana soon found herself at a racetrack.

Watching the horses roam freely on the tracks, Eliana suddenly remembered something.

Her father had gifted her a horse on her tenth birthday. At that time, the Pierce family hadn’t gone

bankrupt yet and owned a racetrack, so her father would take her there to ride horses every year.

During each of their trips, she would happily sit on the horse, and her father led them down the track.

The pair spent the entire day in each other’s company, riding their horses until the sunset.

All those precious moments were still clear in her mind, as if they had just happened yesterday. As time

went on, Eliana still kept that priceless piece of memory close to her heart.

But tragedy struck, and the Pierce family went bankrupt. The beloved racetrack was sealed up, and

she had never ridden a horse again.

“Eliana, are you alright?”

Corbin’s voice suddenly pulled Eliana back from her memory.

“It seems you have a lot going on in your head. What are you thinking about?”

“Nothing important. I was just reminded of something from my past.” Her eyes were noticeably full of

nostalgia. Suddenly self-conscious, she blinked and cleared her throat. “So, what are we doing here?”

“Since we are at a racetrack, you will be riding a horse.” All of a sudden, a question entered Corbin’s

mind. “By the way, do you know how to ride a horse?”

Eliana said excitedly, “Not to brag, but I’m good at riding. I actually won the championship in a riding

competition once.”

“Is that so?”

Corbin wasn’t buying her story after being fooled so many times.

His skeptical eyes seriously hurt Eliana’s ego. She raised her right hand and swore, “That’s the truth. I

promise.”

It was true that Eliana wasn’t lying this time, but she couldn’t tell him why she liked riding so much.

The reason was pretty childish. When she was a young girl, she often dreamed that she was a princess

and a handsome prince would ride a white horse to pick her up.

The next moment, Eliana heard a horse’s loud neigh.

She raised her head and saw a tall figure against the sunlight riding a snow-white horse slowly towards

her.

As he drew closer, Eliana immediately recognized the handsome rider. It was Maurice.

The morning sun shined from behind him and outlined him with a layer of gold light, giving him the

appearance of a powerful god who stepped down from the heavens.

He looked at her with a warm smile as if they were the only two persons left in the entire world at this

moment.

Eliana was so excited that she got butterflies in her stomach.

She couldn’t stand it when Maurice gazed deeply into her eyes. If he kept it up, she would melt for

sure.

Eliana held her breath when Maurice gracefully dismounted from the horse and walked toward her.

The horse, the dashing prince, and the affectionate gaze were too much to handle.

This dreamy scene was exactly the same as what she had fantasized in her childhood.

It turned out that the special man in her dreams who rode the white horse was not necessarily a prince.

It could very well be a rich and powerful CEO.

Just when Eliana thought she had finally fulfilled her childhood dream, it was about to be completely

shattered into pieces.

Another figure appeared behind Maurice, instantly breaking Eliana’s heart.

Harriet was riding her horse and stopped beside Maurice. She smiled at him and prepared to dismount.

But when she got off the horse, she suddenly lost her balance…
