Chapter 274 Horse Riding
Amanda’s POV:
The next morning, birds chirping outside the window pulled me out of sleep.
As soon as I opened my eyes and saw the unfamiliar ceiling and the classic-style chandelier, I startled slightly, and it took several seconds for my mind to catch up. It was the guest room at Wesley’s estate.
I rubbed my eyes and went to the bathroom.
Looking at my bare face in the mirror, I quickly grabbed my makeup bag from my suitcase and put on my usual look.
Only after the freckles and dull tone were back, restoring my plain and forgettable face, did I feel satisfied. I packed up and left the room.
Samson’s guest room was also on the third floor. By coincidence, just as I opened my door, he stepped out of the room across the hall.
Our eyes met, and the moment seemed to pause for a split second.
Samson smiled faintly and greeted me first, his voice a little rough from sleep. “Morning.”
“Morning,” I replied quickly, walking over. Worried he might not be comfortable here, I asked, “Did you sleep well last night? Did you feel uncomfortable or unfamiliar?”
He looked at me gently. “No. Everything was fine. It’s very quiet here.”
Hearing that, the odd worry in my chest disappeared. I let out a breath of relief. “That’s good. Let’s go downstairs for breakfast.”
Breakfast was an elegant foreign-style spread. Wesley was already there, with Stephan sitting beside him.
After eating, we headed to the stable.
It was a private stable Wesley had bought years ago. I’d heard it had several well-trained horses, all taken care of by professionals.
As the car drove in, I stared out the window in amazement. The place was even bigger than I’d imagined, stretching around a small hill. The open land was perfect for riding, and the air smelled fresh with grass and dirt.
When we arrived, I went straight to the changing room.

Chapter 274 Horse Riding
I put on the riding outfit I’d prepared and pulled on my black boots. Perfect.

“That looks great on you.” Samson’s voice came from behind me, full of genuine praise.
I turned and smiled. “Nice taste. You should go change, too. Let’s see who’s faster later.”
Seeing my excitement, his smile grew. He nodded. “Alright. Wait for me.”
He went into the men’s changing room, and I waited outside in the lounge.
Soon enough, Samson and Stephan came out almost at the same time and nearly bumped into each other.
When their eyes met, I could feel a quiet tension in the air. Calm on the surface, sharp underneath.
I’d already noticed something strange about the way Stephan looked at Samson during dinner. Thinking about it now, it was probably because Wesley clearly favored Samson, and that didn’t sit well with him.
“Mr. Ortega, that outfit suits you,” Stephan said first, his tone testing. “But I’m curious how good your riding actually is.”
I knew Samson had some riding experience, though only as a hobby. As expected, he answered evenly, “I’m decent. I can handle it.”
Stephan gave a so-called reminder. “The horses here can be hard to manage. If your skills aren’t strong, accidents can happen: It wouldn’t be good if you got hurt.”
That made me uncomfortable. It was obvious that Stephan was looking down on Samson. But Samson didn’t react at all. He simply said, “Thanks for the advice. We’ll see out there.”
When Samson led a chestnut horse over to me, couldn’t help but stare.
Dressed in black riding gear, he stood tall and straight. His broad shoulders and narrow waist were perfectly outlined. Paired with his already striking looks and presence, he was seriously
attractive.
I blurted out, “Samson, do you realize how good you look like this?”
It was the first time I’d complimented him so openly. The tips of his ears turned slightly red as he looked at me and said seriously, “As long as you like it.”
I grabbed his arm. “Don’t just stand there. Let’s go find Wesley.”
