Love Letters, Divorce Papers (Jared and Amber)
Chapter 781 Running towards Love Together

He walked more than gently and slowly, probably for fear of waking the woman on the sofa.

It took him nearly a minute to walk the short twenty or so steps to the couch, and that carefulness alone was enough to make one's heart flutter.

Arriving at the sofa, Jared crouched down slightly and stared at the woman on the couch.

Amber was lying on her side on the sofa, her arms were folded under her head as a pillow, her legs were slightly curled up, and she was sleeping soundly.

She was probably a little cold, though, as she shivered occasionally.

Noticing this, Jared got up and headed for his desk, grabbed the air conditioning remote and turned up the temperature.

After doing so, he went to his lounge, took out a thicker blanket, and covered Amber with it in case she got cold.

Knowing that Amber might not wake up for a while, Jared didn't linger on the couch much longer. After ruffling her hair out of her face, he headed to his desk, ready to work on his papers and wait for her to wake up.

It was a two-hour wait.

When Amber woke up, it was already 3 pm, and her stomach was starting to growl with hunger.

She opened her eyes, and the first thing she saw was an expensive and luxurious coffee table.

At first, her mind was a little confused about where she was.

But then she saw the black tea on the coffee table and realized that she was in Jared's office.

After sending Jared a message, she sat here and fell asleep without noticing.

There was no telling how long she had been asleep.

Amber was about to reach for her phone to check the time when her hand moved and something fell off her and onto the floor in front of the couch.

"Hmm?" Amber looked down and realized that it was a blanket!

But how could there be a blanket on her?

When she fell asleep, there was nothing on her, so the blanket must have been draped over her by someone.

And since she had locked the door inside Jared's office earlier, naturally, only one person could have come in and draped a blanket over her - the owner of this office.

Jared!

So, he'd come back from a meeting?

With that in mind, Amber immediately sat up, picked up the blanket and turned her head from side to side, looking for him.

However, after looking around, there was no sign of Jared.

So, he didn't come back?

Or had he come back but had left again?

Amber's eyelids drooped, and the loss was visible on her face.

Suddenly, there was a sound of a window opening behind her.

Amber stiffened, immediately dropped the blanket she was holding and turned around.

Jared came in off the balcony with his phone, closing the balcony door as he whispered something to the other end of the phone, not noticing that she had woken up and was looking at him. Amber had happiness written in her eyes and a big smile.

Great, so he was back and not gone, just on the balcony on the phone.

It was so cold on the balcony, and it was even harder up here.

But he chose to go to the balcony to make a phone call. He didn't want to wake her up.

What a silly man!

"Jared!" Amber took a breath, collected her emotions, and called out to the man in front of the balcony's floor-to-ceiling window in a soft voice.

The man was stunned for a moment and took the phone away from his ear, and turned his head towards Amber in the next second.

Amber was standing there, smiling at him, her smile bright and sultry in its beauty.

Jared's pupils contracted slightly, returning to their natural state but with a darker hue.

He raised his hand and waved at her to show that he heard her, then back to the phone again and said a few words to the other end of the line before hanging up the phone and walking quickly towards her. Amber suddenly reached out with a few steps left to go, "Don't move!"

Jared subconsciously stopped in his tracks, "What's wrong?"

"You've taken as many steps as you can." Amber dropped her hand and smiled under the man's puzzled gaze, "Love runs both ways; you've taken so many steps towards me; let me take the remaining steps and get close to you."

With that, she lifted her feet and walked forward.

Jared knew what she meant now, and a slight smile appeared on his face.

Two-way-running, that was a word he liked.

Amber came to Jared and looked up at him before opening her arms straight away and hugging him around the waist, pressing her face against his chest.

Jared, however, intended to push her away, "Don't hug; I just came in from outside, it's drizzling and windy outside, I'm covered in cold air, it's cold for you to hug like that, you'll catch a cold." As he said this, he pushed her.

But the movements were all very gentle, afraid that she would be in pain and fall.

Yet even when Jared did so, Amber still held him close, not letting go at all, and smiled instead, "It's okay, it's warm in here, it won't freeze me, I won't catch a cold!"

She even lifted her head and gave him a severe wink to convince him.

She had almond eyes, which were already large and a little round, and her pupils were dark and large, so when she looked at people like that, they were spotless, and it was mind-blowing. Jared had known from early on that her eyes were beautiful, and when she looked at someone like that, it was as if they could suck their soul in.

Even though he'd been looking at them for so long, he still couldn't help but be drawn to those eyes of hers.

Especially when her eyes were so sincere at the moment, making his heart unconsciously soft and wanting to give her everything he had.

"Ahem." Jared coughed uncomfortably, clenching his fist against his lips and looking away with his afterglow, his voice slightly hoarse, "You can't blame me if you catch a cold."

She was the one who was holding on and not letting go.

Although, he was happy that she had taken the initiative to be close to him.

"Okay, I don't blame you." Amber smiled and nodded.

Jared drew his gaze back and looked down at her, his eyes softening down, "When did you wake up?"

"I just woke up and was about to look for you when I saw you come in." Amber smiled again, "We kind of have an understanding here, don't we?"

"Of course." Jared nodded and wrapped his arm around her waist, leading her back to the couch and sitting down, "Hungry?"

Amber looked down at her stomach, a little shyness on her face, "Yeah, a little hungry; what time is it?"

"Three o'clock in the afternoon," Jared replied as he lifted his wrist to check his watch.

Amber exclaimed, "It's three in the afternoon?"

"Yeah."

Amber's mouth twitched, "I can't believe I slept for so long."

She had checked the time before she went to sleep.

She had only wanted to take a nap, but it had turned out to be a three-hour sleep.

No wonder her stomach was so hungry.

"It hasn't been long." Jared laughed lightly before taking out his phone and dialling Ben's number, "Want something to eat?" "Assorted seafood," Amber replied.

Somehow, she had a massive craving for seafood and couldn't stop her mouth from watering just thinking about it.

Jared nodded dotingly and ordered over the phone, "You heard it; go ahead and order it for two."

"Noted," Ben replied on the other end of the line.

Amber looked at the man beside her in surprise, "For two? You haven't eaten lunch yet, have you?"

Jared pursed his lips and didn't say anything.

The smile on Amber's face narrowed and changed to disapproval, "Why not? It's late in the afternoon. Have you been busy until now?"

Jared shook his head, "No."

"Then what is it?" Amber frowned, her eyes looking at him with displeasure; seeing the twinkle in his eyes, she suddenly realized something and opened her mouth, "You're not, by any chance, waiting for me to join you, are you?"
