After enduring a whole day, she was truly exhausted and sleepy.
When Hunter Warren finished his work, he turned around and saw Faye Townsend sleeping with her head resting on the back of the sofa.
He leaned in slightly, looking at her breathtaking sleeping face, his gaze suddenly beca much gentler.
He lifted his hand, wanting to caress her cheek, but was afraid to wake her up.
But having such a beautiful creature lying next to him, he really couldn’t keep his heart calm.
No longer hesitating, he slowly kissed her on the corner of her lips.
As he moved away from her side, he only felt a gaze watching him.
Turning to look, he found Miya lying there, staring at him with her big eyes, smiling.
Hunter Warren also pursed his lips into a smile at Miya.
He leisurely stood up, walked over to Miya, and squatted down in front of her.
Miya winked at him, "I know, Uncle Hunter, I’ll keep your secret."
Hunter Warren felt very happy, such a clever little rascal.
This really made it hard not to get used to her, "Why did you wake up?"
"I slept too much during the day, so now I can’t sleep at night."
"Do you want uncle to play with you for a while?"
Miya shook her head, "No, at night you’re supposed to sleep.
Otherwise, it will mix up day and night, affecting my growth.
Uncle Hunter, you played with all day and must be tired too.
You should go and rest, I’ll also close my eyes and sleep obediently."
Hunter Warren ruffled her hair, what a good child.
"Alright then, goodnight, okay?"
"Okay, goodnight."
Hunter Warren walked to the sofa bed, supporting Faye’s head with one hand and her shoulder with the other, laying her flat on the sofa to sleep.
Faye opened her drowsy eyes briefly, and in her blurry vision, Hunter Warren’s figure ca into view.
She thought she was dreaming and didn’t react further. She closed her eyes and continued to sleep.
Hunter Warren leaned back slightly at the foot of the sofa, closing his eyes.
With her by his side, his heart felt warm.
Faye suddenly woke up in the middle of the night, and the first thing she saw was Hunter Warren sitting at her feet.
Then she turned her head to look at Miya, who was sleeping soundly in the hospital bed.
She exhaled, realizing she had just had a nightmare.
Her gaze once again touched on Hunter Warren’s side profile and the bruise on half of his face.
Faye’s vision grew blurred.
It must have been when she was eighteen.
Once again, she had beco accustod to being Hunter and his friends’ little sidekick.
They went out to play war gas, now popular as real-life CS gas.
But back in that era, hardly anyone played such things.
The ga venue was built by Hunter’s family, and because it was in a remote location, not many people knew about it.
But it also attracted many young aristocrats looking for thrills.
Because the weather was so hot, she wore heavy camouflage carrying a toy gun and ran with them for a while, then she started to feel dizzy and nauseous, showing signs of heatstroke.
At that ti, everyone was hiding, and she suddenly, while running, leaned against a tree trunk in the shade to sit down.
At the ti, everything she saw around her was spinning, she turned sideways to vomit, feeling incredibly dizzy.
In the midst of her daze, she suddenly heard Hunter Warren’s panicked voice, as if her ears, deafened until now, suddenly cleared.
Then she felt her body beco light, as if soone was carrying her and running.
When she awoke, she found herself in the infirmary outside the ga venue, with a drip in her hand, and Hunter Warren alone by her side.
"Hunter, what’s wrong with ?"
Seeing her awake, Hunter Warren sighed heavily, "Can you recognize now?"
"When couldn’t I recognize you?"
Hunter Warren raised his hand to tap her head, "Why insist on joining us here when you’re not feeling well?
You just got heatstroke, luckily you were always following closely.
If I hadn’t noticed you, what would you have done in that vast forest?"
Faye pursed her lips into a smile, "What is there to fear? It’s not like I would die.
Besides, you guys would have found eventually."
"What if?"
Faye laughed mischievously, "There wouldn’t be a ’what if’, I don’t think my presence is that insignificant.
I’m at least a beauty.
Such a big beauty following you, only to disappear...
You four big guys with eight eyes wouldn’t really not notice, right?"
Upon hearing her words, Hunter Warren laughed speechlessly, "Silly girl, where does your confidence co from?"
"Aren’t I a beauty?" Faye pouted playfully, "Then tell , who is the beauty? Sebastian?"
Hunter Warren just smiled and said nothing.
"Tsk, in your eyes, only Sebastian is the great beauty, right?
You have such poor taste.
I asked Henry, Owen, and Roman, they all support ."
"Indeed, you are beautiful, beautiful enough to be pleasing to the eye just to look at.
But Faye, so n... aren’t as concerned about appearances as you might think.
Didn’t I already tell you, I care more about Sebastian’s inner qualities."
"Hypocrite," Faye pouted, "If soone scratched Sebastian’s face, would you still claim not to care about appearances?"
"With , Hunter Warren here, who dares to touch her face, they must have a death wish."
Faye laughed, "Oh, I would dare.
If you admit you care, I’ll act imdiately."
Hunter Warren tapped her on the head, "Why do you, a young girl, always think of such things?
A proper girl, who would think of disfiguring another girl?
You’re already more beautiful than Sebastian, if you scratch her face, she might really feel like ending it all."
"Tsk, if I were your girlfriend, even if soone scratched my face, it wouldn’t matter.
You don’t care about a woman’s appearance anyway.
Does Sebastian know I like you? Does she really, really hate ?"
"How could she, didn’t I already tell you, Sebastian is not that kind of person."
Faye pouted, "You just keep defending your girlfriend."
Hunter Warren ruffled her hair, "Don’t keep competing with Sebastian, openly or secretly.
Everyone has their destined other half.
It’s most painful for when you’re at odds with her.
She’s my girlfriend, and you’re a little sister I cherish.
I truly hope for the best for both of you."
"Alright alright, don’t worry, I won’t do anything to Sebastian.
If she really loves you so much she can’t live without you, no matter how I make a fuss, your relationship won’t change.
My presence is crucial, I can even help test your love.
I’m thirsty, can you get a bottle of iced cola?"
"Just wait, I’ll be right back."
Hunter Warren stood and left, and as Faye watched his retreating figure, the smile on her lips faded slightly.
Idiot, can’t he see her love for him?
She saw him first, so why should she lose him to soone else? It wasn’t fair.
She pouted and closed her eyes intending to rest, but then heard a raspy voice outside, "Where’s the doctor, doctor co out, my leg is injured."
The voice got closer and then the door to the room Faye was in was kicked open.
Startled, Faye opened her eyes and turned to see two n dressed as typical thugs walking in.
"Oh, no doctor here, but a beautiful female patient, right?"
Faye propped herself up with her elbow and angrily shouted at the two, "Get out, go find the doctor outside."
"Hey, look at these young girls now, pretty but so fiery, right?"
The small thug following the leather-jacketed man in front sneered provocatively, "This chick is way hotter than the one you just dumped.
Boss, do you want to chase her?"
The leather-jacketed man smirked as he walked to Faye’s side, "Oh, little girl, with a face this pretty, why such a bad temper?
I, well, I’m naturally inclined to ta wild horses.
How about it, want to have so fun with ?"
By now Faye had sat up, she looked at the leather-jacketed man with a sarcastic smile.
Just coming out today, seeing such an ugly man, she thought it was truly worth the trip.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t know there were people in the world who looked like this and still dared to boast.
"What’s the matter, little girl, checking out? Interested in ?"
Faye shrugged, "I thought you were just badly aged, didn’t expect your eyes to be failing too.
Look at you, that ratty face.
How on earth could you think I was interested in you?
In this life, I only find rats disgusting, any other animal I can handle.
If you want to play with , how about you go get so plastic surgery?"
"Damn, little girl, you’ve got quite the nasty mouth."
He said as he raised his hand to grip Faye’s shoulder.
Just as Faye was about to raise her hand to swipe his away, there was another commotion at the door.
"What are you two doing?"
Faye turned her gaze, it was the doctor who had returned.
Seeing the doctor nervously facing the two thugs, Faye subtly gave a thumbs-up.
At least he was brave, though scared, he dared to confront the evil forces.
Unfortunately... his fighting skills were lacking.
So the thug’s sidekick easily took him down.
But he could yell, from the mont he started getting hit, he hadn’t stopped calling for help.
And the leather-jacketed thug didn’t take the man seriously at all.
He turned and placed his hand on Faye’s arm, relatively calm, she grasped the thug’s hand.
The thug thought Faye was about to give in, but before his grin could spread, his scream echoed through the room.
Faye showed no rcy, biting down hard on the back of his hand.
Her mouth filled with the taste of blood, yet she had no intention of letting go.
The thug shouted, "Stupid bitch, let go of , let go!"
He raised his other hand and, with a swing, pushed Faye off the bed to the ground.
