Love Letters, Divorce Papers (Jared and Amber)
Chapter 868 Jealous Men Are Hard to Coax

Hearing Jared Farrell's reminder, Amber Reed had to take it seriously and nodded in response, "Okay, don't worry about it. I will let you know then."

Jared Farrell had never met Connor Stockert, either had she.

They had no idea what Connor's temperament was, whether he was a good guy or a bad one.

So, to be on the safe side, if Connor did contact her, she'd tell Jared.

After all, she shouldn't guard herself with pretentious bravery when it came to dealing with such a dangerous character.

After that, Jared and Amber stopped the conversation. Amber was enjoying her breakfast in quietness, and Jared was with her by the side - occasionally feeding her some food.

Seeing Amber taking the food he fed her and her cute bulging cheeks, Jared's eyes lowered, as if he had understood why other people adored lovable living creatures.

"What's on your mind, babe?" Feeling the warmth in the man's eyes, Amber narrowed her beautiful almond eyes and stared at the man suspiciously, "I always have a feeling that you are cooking up a bad idea."

Jared was a bit surprised. He quickly suppressed the thoughts on his mind, and replied calmly, "No, I am not. Don't think too much into this, babe. Come on, finish eating - it's getting cold."

Amber rolled her eyes.

What did he mean by "it's getting cold"?

The food was still warm.

Jared was saying that to change the subject.

Amber was sure that Jared had no "good" intentions.

The way he had been staring at her looked as if he was going to swallow her alive - and that look assured Amber that Jared must be thinking about something dirty. Additionally, he had done this before.

Thinking so, Amber blushed and buried her head to avoid creating hints for helping the man figure out what she was thinking.

Otherwise, Jared would grab any chance he got to have his way with her - and he would call it turning her dreams into reality when she was already thinking about them. In short, this man could do it.

Amber coughed twice and immediately shook her head again. She hurriedly moved on from the mess on her mind and just continued to eat.

After breakfast, the two went out together, ready to go to the police station.

But on their way, Amber also received a call from Hayden Cohen.

Since Ben Channing had asked him to represent them in dealing with the officials and investigate Alice's identity, it'd be impossible to hide the secret behind the matter from the man. It made sense Hayden would like to figure out what was with Alice.

That why exactly why he called Amber.

While Jared was driving, he was furious when he heard Hayden calling.

Ben was the one who had reached out to Hayden, so it stood to reason that if he wanted to learn more about the matter, he would ask Ben directly.

But Hayden didn't do that. Instead, he passed over Ben and Jared and contacted Amber.

Hayden was taking the opportunity to speak with Amber himself.

Hayden's intention was evident.

If it weren't for Amber's refusal, Jared would have wanted to grab her phone and hang up on Hayden.

Calling her lady when they were together was provocative enough to Jared.

Hayden Cohen, you had successfully provoked Jared's wrath!

Jared Farrell's eyes narrowed, full of danger, cold light flickering inside.

It seemed that he must find ways to keep Hayden busy so the man would keep his eyes off Amber.

Jared was driving the car - his face was gloomy, and he occasionally glanced at the woman who was answering the phone at the co-pilot.

Jared was looking at the mobile phone in the woman's hand - he wished he could let out lightning directly to blow up her mobile phone. Amber could feel the displeasure of the man beside her. Jared's jealousy was clouding the car cabin all over.

She was annoyed, but she also found it funny.

It was just a common phone call, why did Jared get so jealous?

All Amber would like to do now was quickly coax the man next to her now so he could get it over with.

Otherwise, she would blow up in annoyances too.

Amber shook her head in disbelief, then said a few more words to Hayden in a quicker tone, and she hung up the phone afterward. Seeing Amber had put away the phone, Jared's eyes flashed with satisfaction, but his face was still sour, "Finally finished?"

"Yes." Amber nodded.

Jared pursed his lips, "I thought you would take forever to finish that conversation."

His sour tone made Amber feel a bit overwhelmed.

As a man who was already thirty-one, Jared was supposed to act calm and mature. Amber found it surprising that a simple call could immediately turn him into a childish jealous baby.

Amber shook her head with a laugh, "If I stay on the phone for even a little longer, someone will drown in his sour jealousy."

How could Jared not know Amber was talking about him? A trace of guilt flashed in his eyes, but he pretended he didn't know, "What are you talking about, babe?"

"Alright, alright. You are not a jealous man." Amber patted his thigh, a bit helplessly, "I didn't speak about anything special on the call - and you have heard the complete conversation. You shouldn't be as jealous as you were just now."

She said, feeling both annoyed and amused.

Jared pursed his lips, "You don't care about me."

"What are you talking about?" Amber froze, "I don't care about you?"

"No." Jared nodded.

The corner of Amber's mouth twitched, "What the heck are you talking about?”

"I asked you not to answer his call, but you did regardless. You don't care about me at all." Jared glanced at Amber, and there was too much complication in that look.

Amber was stunned, "Jared Farrell, you are being unreasonable."

She looked at Jared, annoyed, "Seriously, you think I don't care enough about you? You have been feeling jealous since the beginning, and I see that. That's why I ended the call quickly so you wouldn't blow yourself up with that stupid sour feeling. If anything, I owe him a thank-you."

"What are you thanking him for?" Jared frowned.

Amber rolled her eyes at him, "You asked Hayden Cohen to investigate Alice through the officials' connections, so you owed him a thank-you. And I am just doing you a favor by doing that for you. Don't you think it's silly to be jealous of him?"

Hearing what Amber said, Jared didn't feel sorry. He snorted coldly, "If Hayden wants to know the details, he should contact me then. Why was he directly calling you instead? Why should I be thankful for you i he's calling out of sick intentions?"

Jared didn't think they owed Hayden anything, let alone a thank-you.

It was already kind of him not to mess with Hayden Cohen.

Amber looked at the affirmative expression on Jared's face, and she shook her head, "What sick intentions?"

Jared didn't reply.

He found it embarrassing to tell Amber that Hayden Cohen had feelings for her.

Just thinking about it psychologically fueled up his anger - how could he pull off saying it out loud to Amber?

Seeing that Jared didn't utter a word, Amber didn't bother to think about what was on the man's mind. She said after a light sigh, “Babe, I need you to trust me more and stop easily getting jealous, okay? I am with you, and I am not going to leave you. But, commonly, I speak to other men, to have a common and normal conversation, talking about ordinary things. Besides, you were next to me, and I have put the call on speaker - No need to be jealous of anyone, honey. There are so many other men out there in the world - should I stop talking to all of them? Do you think that's practical and realistic?"

Unless you locked her up and imprisoned her for life.

But would he dare to do so?

Jared's tense expression softened a little when he heard Amber's words, but he didn't speak.

He was aware that it'd be okay for her to talk to other men.

What he cared more about was that the man she was speaking to had feelings for herself.

If the person talking to her was a strange man, he wouldn't have such a big reaction.

Amber didn't know what the man was thinking - she just thought Jared was still jealous. She sighed, and then raised a smile, "Okay. Don't be upset, babe. I am trying to make you feel better. When I realized that you were upset, I stopped talking to Hayden Cohen immediately. Then I came to check on you. But you are being a bit unreasonable now, which is pushing me to my edges."☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
