Chapter 108
Juno was an offspring of a champion racehorse. The arrogance in its blood just would not allow it to be treated like this. So, the more it was whipped, the more it resisted.
The farm owner thought that it was insane, and he was about to euthanize it. However, it broke free and escaped from the owner before it ran amok on the highway.
Cordelia was in a car cruising on the highway. She told her driver to stop the car because she was afraid that he might hit Juno.
The police arrived at the scene very quickly. Then, they hit Juno with a tranquilizer dart. Even though it was starting to lose consciousness and stumble, it still stood there and looked at everybody aggressively with its untamed gaze while panting.
That gaze immediately moved Cordelia.
Cordelia spent merely one thousand dollars to buy Juno from the farm owner.
Everybody wondered what an old woman could do to tame it since even a professional trainer could not manage to do that.
However, Juno stared at Cordelia for some time before it bowed its head down and nuzzled her cheek on the day she brought him away.
Everyone was shocked, except for Cordelia. Then, she went back home with Juno happily. Perhaps it was because Juno always got whipped growing up that it made Juno to be very cautious around strangers. Juno would only let Cordelia and Keegan touch it.
Cordelia claimed that Juno only let Keegan touch it because their temper was as strange as each other.
Stella thought that what she said made a lot of sense.
“Grandma, stop joking with me. Juno rarely looks at me when I go there. It should have more appetite now that I’m not around.”
Cordelia laughed. “Why would Juno eat the food you fed it if it doesn’t like you? Not only that it didn’t eat the food Aurora gave it, but it vomited on her too.”
Stella could not help but laugh after picturing what happened in her head.
“Come over to have lunch later. Spend some time with Juno and run with it. Otherwise, it’d probably be depressed.”
Stella thought that it would not be good for her to reject Cordelia after hearing what she said. “Sure. I’ll come over in a while, then.”
She returned the phone to Keegan after hanging up without talking to him at all. Then, she went upstairs to get freshened up.
Stella desperately wanted to strangle him to death with the tie. ‘What a scum! He’s so mean!‘
She bowed her head down while helping him with the tie concentratedly.
Keegan gazed down and stared at her.
Stella did not have any makeup on her face other than lipstick.
However, she had fair skin, and her eyes looked very delicate. She would look remarkably well just by wearing lipstick.
She just took a shower, and there was a faint fragrance on her that smelled like neither shampoo nor perfume.
It was more like blooming flowers during spring. It was subtle, and it smelled a little like plants after the rain.
Keegan gulped as he was about to get closer to her.
