"Right. In that case, I could give Corazón Azul to you without being suspected by others." Jared tossed her hair next to her ear. "Right then, you had just taken over Goldstone. Your company needed many funds. I hope you could sell Corazón Azul to save Goldstone. But you didn't do so."

"Corazón Azul is way too valuable. I couldn't sell it easily. If I did, others might blame me. I'd instead donate it to gain a good reputation," Amber said, playing with his fingers.

Jared was taken aback. "Did you donate Corazón Azul?"

Amber nodded, feeling a bit embarrassed. "Yeah. I asked Cole to donate it on my behalf, but he didn't do so. He kept it for me. Hence, I could give it back to you later. Otherwise... I wouldn't have returned it to you."

Hence, she felt lucky and appreciated Cole for not donating it to her.

Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to find the ring or Corazón Azul back.

Upon hearing her words, Jared pressed his thin lips together. He was unhappy. "I gave Corazón Azul to you for helping you through the difficulty. How could you have donated it?"

"I'm sorry." Amber knew that it wasn't right for her to have done so. Holding his hand, she said coquettishly, "We were enemies at that time. I could only do that, but it ended well, didn't it? Corazón Azul is still with us."

"But it has been worn by my mother. I can't give it to you again."

Jared stroked her neck without any jewelry and said, "In the future, I'll give you another necklace. You cannot donate it again."

"Hm." Amber nodded. "I won't."

"That's good." Jared finally was happy. However, he didn't remove his hand from her neck. It wandered on her neck.

Her neck was warm, soft, and smooth. Jared couldn't tear his hand off it.

Gazing at her neck, Jared wondered how it felt if he kissed it.

While he was wondering, his eyes darkened. Gradually, his head approached her neck, ready to do it practically.

Amber felt his warm breath on her neck. She raised her head, only to find his enlarged handsome face so close to her.

She noticed his eyes full of the desire flames as if he wanted to swallow her alive. She was shocked and hurriedly raised her hands to press against his face. "Stop it, Jared." Jared shivered, sobering.

However, his face was pressed by her, so he couldn't continue approaching her. He put on a pitiful look on his face. "Amber, I..."

"No way." Amber knew what he wanted to speak and do. She blushed and dodged his eyes. "Not now."

"When can I do it? We've reconciled." Jared still wanted to fight for his right.

No one knew how much he wanted to make love to her.

Earlier, they hadn't reconciled, so he tolerated it and respected her.

They had reconciled, so he guessed he could do something naturally.

Amber coughed, looking away. "Not now. I... I'm on my period."

She didn't lie. It was true.

Also, she hadn't been ready to do that yet.

She needed to get ready mentally. Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to do that with him.

A trace of disappointment flashed through Jared's eyes. He calmed down. "Okay. Let's wait when it's over, Amber."

He had tolerated it for such a long time, so he didn't mind waiting for a few more days.

Amber didn't answer because she hadn't known if she would be ready after it was gone.

What if she wasn't ready? Then she couldn't keep her promise.

Hence, she kept silent.

"Let's eat. Hurry up." She changed the subject.

Jared raised his chin, pulled her to sit down, and continued to eat.

After dinner, Amber cleaned the table and put the dinnerware and cutleries into the dishwasher.

Jared followed her everywhere, just like her tail.

Amber found it hilarious initially, but she got tired of it later.

She didn't mind him following her, but he was also in her way.

Amber hung up her washed clothes, turned around, and looked at the man who was like a big dog behind her. "Jared, why are you following me?"

"I just want to follow you," he answered.

Amber's lips twitched. "It doesn't make sense. Don't you have anything to do?"

"Yes, I do." He nodded.

He still had many files to deal with.

Amber rubbed her temples. "Then you should work on it. Stop following me."

"If I go back to work, will you leave me?" Jared asked, looking at her.

Amber raised her eyebrows. "Do you follow me because you are afraid that I would go?"

Jared didn't answer.

Amber didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Jared, didn't you see what I was doing? I washed my clothes just now. Do you think I can leave without my clothes on? Will I go out in pajamas?" She looked down at Jared's pajamas on her.

Although they looked like street clothes, they were just pajamas.

If she went out and the passersby recognized that she was wearing a man's pajamas, she would be laughed at.

Probably, her photos would be posted online.

Of course, she wouldn't take such a risk.

Upon hearing her words, Jared felt relieved finally.

He was worried that she would leave later.

Amber wasn't like him. He was pretty cheeky. If he was in her house, he would try his best to stay.

Amber wouldn't. He believed the possibility that she would leave was pretty high.

Hence, he kept following her to keep her staying.

However, it was out of his expectation that Amber didn't mean to leave at all.

Jared suddenly was joyful because he had childishly dragged her into the bathtub after getting drunk. Otherwise, Amber would leave definitely.

"I'll make the bed for you, Amber." Jared looked excited, going to the bedroom.

Amber looked at his back. She wanted to stop him and ask him if he knew how to make the bed.

However, she just let him be when seeing him so excited and eager.

For the sake that he was so happy to do something for her, she decided to let him do it.

If he couldn't do it well, she could make bed later.

Thinking of that, Amber put away the laundry basket.

When she went to the living room, her phone suddenly rang.

Amber walked to pick it up and saw Elias's ID.

She frowned in confusion, wondering why he was calling her.

She swiped to answer, "Hello, Dr. Lansdale?" She put the phone next to her ear.

Elias said, "Hello, Amber. Braylee Reed is making a scene about being discharged from the hospital."

"Discharge?" Amber squinted.

Elias pushed up his glasses. "Right. She's kicking up a row in the hospital now. She has damaged some of my medical equipment. If it weren't that you still want to keep her, I would've drawn half of her blood or taken out one of her kidneys for the compensation."

After all, Braylee meant nothing to him. He could kill her at any time.

Therefore, he could indeed do what he said for real.
