Love Letters, Divorce Papers (Jared and Amber)
Chapter 654 A Deserted Gift

She didn't say anything and just hugged him tighter.

In her view, he used to be so gentle, and now he is a bit more aloof. Although it was like two extremes, he could never be vulnerable.

But the fact is, he can..

A strong man who seems to have no weakness has his Achilles heel. Witnessing his mother's suicide has caused such a huge shock to him that every year on the anniversary of his mother's death, he will be flooded with grief.

And if he couldn't undo the knot in his mind, then he will be like this for the next year or even decades.

If his enemy knew about it and used it, it would also be fatal to him.

Thinking about that, Amber felt more sympathy and pity for him in her heart.

Jared felt it. His eyes darkened for a moment and soon returned to normal. He gently rubbed her shoulder with his chin, and said in a low voice, "Don't worry, I will be fine."

What he meant was that he would spend the day peacefully, and there would be no trouble.

Hearing what he said, Amber immediately knew he had guessed the reason why she was suddenly depressed and hugged him.

At first, she was worried that when he knew that she was clear about his mother's death, he would react badly.

But instead, he was surprisingly calm.

He didn't seem to mind that she knew that, nor did he mind that she knew what would happen to him on the anniversary of his mother's death.

It could be seen that her previous scrupulousness was unnecessary.

And he might have guessed that she would go to him on the day of his mother's death.

That's fine. If he guessed it and didn't ask her not to go, it meant that he didn't mind her going and seeing what he would be like, then she could go to him tomorrow. She didn't have to worry that he would become agitated when he saw her.

Amber gently let go of him, raised her eyes, and stared at him for a while, "I hope so."

Then she raised her chin and kissed him on the cheek, "I've given you what you want. I'll go first."

She opened the door and got out.

Jared sat in the car, touched his face, and chuckled softly.

Then he rolled down the car window and stopped her, "Amber."

She stopped and turned her head to smile at him, "What's wrong?"

Her smile was bright like the sun, which could make people feel better when they saw it.

Jared shook his head slightly, "Nothing, I just wanted to call you."

Amber rolled her eyes at him, "Don't be such a baby. Just go. There will be traffic jams in a while."

She waved her hand and urged him to leave quickly.

Jared said, "Okay, I'll go."

"OK."

"I'm going," Jared said again.

Amber was amused, "Okay!"

Jared pursed his thin lips, rolled up the car window with reluctance, and drove away.

Amber stood there, waving and watching him until his car was gone and could no longer be seen, then she put down her hands and turned around and entered the building. When she came to the top floor, Amber took out her card and prepared to open the door.

When she just walked to the door, she saw that Sheila's office next to her was open, and she was sitting inside, frowning. It seemed that something was bothering her. Amber put down the card, raised her hand, and knocked on her door.

Sheila raised her head when she heard the sound. When she saw that it was Amber, she stood up instantly, "Miss Reed, you are back."

Amber nodded with a smile, then lifted her foot and walked in.

Other secretaries and assistants in the office also got up and greeted her.

Amber smiled back at them, "I'll leave you to it."

"Okay." Hearing her words, they sat down to work again.

Amber went to Sheila.

She gave her a chair and said, "Please sit down."

"It's ok. I'll be leaving in a while." Amber shook her head.

Then Sheila sat back.

After all, they are friends in private, so there is no need to be so polite.

"Do you have anything to do with me?" Sheila asked curiously.

Amber put her hand on her desk, "It's not about work. I just saw you frowning, so I want to know what's wrong with you?"

Hearing her question, Sheila's eyelids drooped sadly.

Seeing this, Amber became more worried, "So what's the matter? If you have any difficulties, you can tell me, I can help. I'll do my best."

"No." Sheila shook her head, "It's not like that. I gave Cole a scarf that I knitted by myself. Then I called to ask him if it was suitable, but he threw it away."

After being encouraged to take the initiative to go after Mr. Lyon, she thought about it and felt that what Amber said was right.

If you don't take the initiative to go after the person you like, then don't think that you will be with your crush. Because it is impossible to get others' responses by doing nothing. Although she made the first move, the love may not be mutual. But at least she has taken the shot hard and would not be regretted later. If she did nothing, then there would be regrets. She just didn't expect that the first time she plucked up the courage to give him a gift, she got such a result.

Hearing her words, Amber was stunned and frowned, "What? Did he throw away your gift?"

"Well, yeah." Sheila nodded, his eyes behind the black-rimmed glasses were full of sadness, "Mr. Lyon doesn't like me, so he doesn't like my gift. It's completely understandable."

Amber's face darkened, "He's gone too far. Even if he didn't like it, just return it. He has no right to throw it away. Why did he do that? I'll ask him."

"No, don't." Sheila quickly took her arm and shook her head pleadingly at her, "Amber, don't ask him about that. Mr. Lyon doesn't treat me like he used to, he hates me now. If you asked him why he threw away the scarf, he would think that I have told you on him and hate me even more."

Amber was speechless.

Indeed, she knew from her that he threw away the scarf.

If she asked him about it, he would know that it was Sheila who told on him.

In this way, Cole would hate her even more.

"Ms. Reed..." Seeing that Amber didn't speak for a long time, Sheila felt uneasy and her hand holding Amber's arm tightened slightly, "Are you still going to ask him?"

Amber looked at her nervous and scared look and sighed, "No, I won't."

Sheila breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you."

Amber looked at her and asked, "But are you ok that he threw it away. You knitted it with all your heart..."

"It's okay." Sheila pulled a wry smile, "I've seen that he would throw away my gifts already. It is more possible that he will throw it away than return it.

Amber was silent for a few seconds, then poked her forehead, "You stupid girl."☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
