Feeling discomfort with him

"Let's go for a horse ride," he declared, heading towards the riding arena while Abby was soaked in confusion as his sudden kindness towards her grew from time to time.

After reaching the riding arena, he greeted the training man who was waiting there with a horse.

"I will do it myself; you can go." He informed him, holding the reins.

That training man walked off the riding arena past Abby.

Coming to Duri, she queried, "Are we going to ride alone?"

"Yes!" He said and climbed on the horse. After sinking into the saddle and adjusting his position, leaving space in front for Abby, he offered his hand, expecting her grip.

She granted her hand, stepping on the stirrup. He pulled her up, and when her buttocks were about to sink on the saddle, his hand slid down to her hip, presented with a gentle grasp that halted her breath for a second.

He dragged her lower waist, forcing her to be seated, clinging to him as she gasped, feeling discomfort.
