Love Letters, Divorce Papers (Jared and Amber)
Chapter 818 Overwhelmed By Jealousy

But he was just curious and didn't really want to meet her that much.

Because of that, he stalled and hadn't meet her for six years. Because deep in his heart, he thought it wasn't that important if he met her or not. He was only curious about her and didn't care about her at all. So he thought it wasn't such a big deal whether he met her or not.

That was why he missed the chance to win her heart and be with her.

He really regretted about that.

If he spent some time and found an opportunity to meet her, would things be different?

Thinking of that, Hayden suddenly made a weird noise and leaned back, covering his face with his hands regretful.

That didn't only scare Amber, but also scared the other customers in the cafe. They all starting looking at him.

Amber felt a bit uncomfortable when so many people were staring. She smiled embarrassedly at those people and coughed, asking in a deep voice, "Hayden, what are you doing?"

Hayden gave her an ugly smile and shrugged, "Nothing. I was just sad about a missed opportunity and wanted to kill myself."

"Huh?" Amber was confused and didn't know what he meant.

Hayden shook his head, "It's okay. Pick up the phone."

"Okay." Seeing that he wasn't willing to talk, Amber stop trying and nodded. Then she put the phone against her ear and stopped paying attention to him. "Hello?" Amber's expression went soft and put all of her attention on this call.

Hearing Amber's voice from the other side of the line, Jared finally stopped frowning, "What took you so long to answer the call? Hasn't the trial ended yet?"

"It's ended," Amber said, "I was just talking to Hayden."

She looked up at Hayden.

Hayden smiled at her and raised his cup at her.

On the other side of the phone, Jared jumped out of his chair when he heard Hayden's name. He pursed his lips and said, "Hayden?"

"Yeah." Amber nodded.

Jared started frowning again, "He's with you?"

"Yeah," Amber nodded again, "there's something we need to talk about so we met up."

"What was the thing that you need to talk about in person?" Jared squeezed the phone and said in a deep voice.

Hayden had feelings for her. Even though he gave her up, he couldn't just stop loving her all of a sudden.

What if he didn't want to give up at the look of her?

Anyway, Hayden was a big risk.

Even though he knew there was no way that Hayden could steal her from him, he didn't feel comfortable knowing that Hayden was there.

After all, there was someone who had a crush on Amber over there. Not only did he feel uncomfortable, he also saw Hayden as a threat. He didn't dare to do anything wrong that would give him a chance to take Amber away from him.

Jared had thought a lot of things in such a short amount of time. He was annoyed and even wanted to leave his work to run to Amber so that he could kick Hayden away to make it easier for himself.

Of course he knew that was not going to happen.

So he had to live with it.

Amber could tell he was jealous and shook her head as she smiled.

He was definitely overwhelmed with jealousy.

She knew this would happen when he knew he was meeting Hayden.

So she didn't plan to tell him that Hayden also went to the court with her or else he would be so jealous that he would rush here right away.

"We're just talking about business. You know that Hayden and I have been cooperating to go against the Gardner family so we're talking about our plans," Amber answered.

Hayden was sitting there drinking coffee. He had finally calmed himself down. But when he heard what she said, he stopped drinking and looked at her, not knowing why she just lied. Amber shook her head at him and didn't say anything.

On the phone, Jared felt much better when Amber said she and Hayden were just talking about business.

He thought Hayden asked her out to tell her how he felt about her.

Hayden wasn't that kind of person who chased after a married woman and forced her to know his feelings for her. It would be gross if he was.

Thankfully, it wasn't what he thought it was or else he would kill Hayden.

Jared believed what Amber said without thinking twice and nodded, "Then come back soon when you're done. Don't spend too much time around him. He's not a nice person." Amber was just feeling guilty about lying to him. But his words made her burst out laughing.

These two were indeed buddies who grew up together.

Hayden said Jared had a bad temper in front of her face.

And Jared said Hayden wasn't a nice person.

She was mad that Hayden said bad things about Jared. Now she knew they bickered all the time.

Thinking about that, Amber looked up at Hayden and laughed, "Okay, I know. I'll come back as soon as we finish this discussion."

Hayden pointed at his nose and shrugged.

He meant that he knew Jared was talking about him.

Amber nodded and verified his guess.

He rolled his eyes and knew Jared was talking trash about him.

After hearing Amber's response on the phone, Jared finally felt better but he still felt uncomfortable.

Of course, he wasn't uncomfortable that she and Hayden were meeting, he was upset that she and Hayden were plotting against the Gardner family. She knew she chose cooperation to get a better revenge.

What bothered him the most was that she chose to cooperate with Hayden instead of coming to him for help.

It would be a piece of cake for him to go against the Gardner family but she wasn't willing to do that. She would rather trust someone else than him.

He rubbed his forehead and held back his feelings to stop himself from overthinking it.

He knew if he continued to think it that way, he would be more and more paranoid. He might even think that she didn't come to him only because he wasn't trustworthy. This wouldn't work. It would ruin their relationship.

Even though she said that she didn't want him to help her secretly, it was okay if he just helped her in front of everyone.

Thinking of that, Jared finally stopped being annoyed.

"By the way, aren't you busy now?" Amber suddenly asked.

Jared said, "Yeah, I'm taking a break. I have a meeting later."

"You work so hard." Amber felt a bit worried for him.

Jared sensed that from her tone and smiled gently, "It's gonna be easier after some time."

"Okay." Amber also chuckled.

Then Jared asked, "How's the trial?"

"She's sentenced to six months but she wasn't happy about the result. She is going to appeal." Amber pulled a wry smile.

Jared narrowed his eyes, "It's fine. No matter how many times she appeals, it would be the same."

"Yeah, so I'm not worried at all." Amber shrugged.

Jared played with his fingers and pretended to be casual when he asked, "Did Braylee do something or say something weird to you in court?"
