He had been staking out Jared's place for an entire night.
Hunter had truly gone to great lengths for Sam.
What he didn't expect was that Amanda really had some tricks up her sleeve.
Should he say she lived up to being a manipulative woman from the international metropolis of New York? Her methods for handling men were indeed impressive.
Hunter also hadn't expected Jared to be taken down by Amanda so easily.
After waiting all night, he personally witnessed Sam entering her boyfriend Jared's place in the morning.
Not long after, she rushed out with a face full of sadness, anger, and resolve.
Shortly afterward, Sam pushed her bicycle and prepared to head up from their home by the sea.
After noticing this scene, Hunter immediately took out his motorcycle, started it, and left.
He guessed that Sam was likely heading to Paradise Island to work at the Water World in the Atlantis Resort.
Although he didn't know how Jared's courting skills were, Hunter was no longer planning to stay in the Bahamas.
He planned to completely win her over today, taking advantage of Sam's mental breakdown when she felt betrayed by her boyfriend.
Arriving before Sam, Hunter reached Paradise Island.
Finding a deserted corner, he stored the motorcycle into his private space.
Immediately after, he changed into a tracksuit.
Then, Hunter began to jog slowly along the bridge and road that Sam took every day between her home and Paradise Island.
He didn't have to wait long; about seven or eight minutes later...
Hunter saw Sam riding her bike while wiping away tears.
He quickly adjusted his facial muscles, and soon, a look of surprise and excitement appeared on his face.
At the same time, Hunter hurriedly called out to Sam.
"Sam..."
Sam was originally immersed in the betrayal of her boyfriend Jared, feeling sad and distressed, wiping away tears by herself.
Suddenly, she heard someone calling her, and the voice was not unfamiliar.
Out of curiosity, she couldn't help but look toward the sound.
As a result, she saw a handsome Asian man in a tracksuit, looking pleasantly surprised.
Seeing that familiar face, for some reason, Sam suddenly remembered the happiness and ease of spending time with this handsome Asian Youth over the past five days.
She opened her mouth, but nothing came out.
For some reason, Sam suddenly didn't really want to face this Asian Youth.
Because seeing him made her worry that she, too, would become a traitor just like Jared.
"Sam!"
Seeing that although she was no longer pedaling hard, the bicycle was still moving forward due to inertia, Hunter...
...hurriedly ran forward and blocked Sam's path.
It wasn't until he was right in front of her that Sam suddenly snapped back to reality.
Her expression changed drastically as she hurriedly squeezed the handbrake.
*Screech!*
Amidst a harsh grinding sound, the bike finally came to a stop in front of Hunter.
"What's wrong, Sam?"
Hunter made no effort to hide the excitement and joy on his face, but upon looking at Sam, his brow quickly furrowed.
"You've been crying? Did someone bully you?"
"Sam, tell me, and I'll go teach them a lesson for you."
Women are emotional creatures, especially after being betrayed by their boyfriend time and again.
And at such a time, a man who was extremely caring and attentive appeared by her side.
Moreover, that man was also quite handsome.
Even for someone as principled as Sam, she couldn't help but feel a warmth in her heart right now.
She subconsciously compared this handsome Asian Youth, whom she had only known for a few days, with her boyfriend Jared.
Immediately, Sam felt a sting in her nose, and tears flowed uncontrollably.
"What's the matter, Sam? Why are you crying again?"
"Did someone really bully you?"
"Tell me, Sam."
"Aren't we friends? Let me teach them a lesson for you."
Facing Hunter's concern, Sam's sexy lips quivered.
But she couldn't bring herself to say the words stuck in her throat—that her boyfriend had betrayed her.
She couldn't tell this new friend, whose passionate feelings she had rejected just a few days ago using the excuse of having a boyfriend.
In her guilt, she didn't even notice that he had already grasped her hand.
In the past, Sam rarely had physical contact with the opposite sex, except for polite handshakes.
"Come over to my place for a bit; you look terrible."
"Let's go!"
Sam was still unsure of how to face this handsome Asian Youth...
...when she found him dominantly picking her up by the waist and lifting her off the bicycle.
Feeling the masculine scent wafting over her, Sam instinctively wanted to refuse his embrace.
Yet for some reason, she couldn't muster the slightest thought of rejection.
Fortunately, he didn't try to take advantage of her on purpose.
After simply lifting her off the bike and setting her aside...
...Hunter took one of Sam's hands in his and pushed the bicycle with the other, heading toward his beachfront villa.
Pulled by those warm, gentle hands, Sam tried to shake them off but failed.
She stopped struggling and followed by his side.
Just like that, neither of them spoke again... Before long, they arrived at the seaside villa Hunter had rented on the island.
After parking the bicycle in the courtyard in front of the villa, he quickly opened the door and led Sam by the hand into this seaside villa that was both strange and somewhat familiar to her.
"Sit!"
Leading Sam inside, he sat her down on the sofa in the living room.
Hunter left for a moment and soon returned carrying a cup of warm milk.
"The villa only has wine and ice water, so I warmed up some milk for you."
"Thank you!"
Sam took the milk and thanked him in a slightly raspy voice.
This Sexy Sweet Girl's eyes were still red at this moment.
Hunter sighed and asked again, "I thought I wouldn't be able to see you before I left."
"In the past few days, I actually went looking for you several times."
"I even asked some of your colleagues to find out where you lived."
"But every time I went, you weren't home."
Sam remained silent and didn't speak.
She knew that for the past few days, she and her boyfriend Jared had been out at sea enjoying themselves with his best friend Bryce and Amanda.
She couldn't help but think of the scene she had just witnessed.
Her boyfriend Jared had betrayed her, sleeping with Amanda, the female companion of his best friend Bryce.
Sam felt a faint ache in her heart once again.
She never spoke ill of others in public, even if her boyfriend had betrayed her.
Now, Sam just wanted to break up with him; she didn't intend to let anyone else know about the mistake Jared had made.
Hunter had clearly figured out her thoughts.
With a shift in his gaze, he reached into his pocket.
Soon, he pulled out a gift box and handed it to Sam.
"Sam, I originally intended to give you this gift as soon as I found it two days ago."
"But I haven't seen you at all these past few days. I was worried I wouldn't be able to give it to you personally before leaving the Bahamas."
"I've finally seen you again today."
"I can finally rest easy and return it to you with my own hands."
After speaking, he saw Sam, whose eyes were red and swollen, frowning as she looked at the gift box he was holding out.
She was about to open her sexy red lips to refuse Hunter's gift.
He gave Sam a gentle smile.
Then, right in front of her, he slowly opened the gift box.
In an instant, a dull-colored, old-fashioned gold necklace appeared before Sam's eyes.
The moment she saw it, Sam froze...
