My ex-wife is so beautiful novel (Jared and Amber)
Chapter 802 Hurtful Words

"I told that Alice not to say anything else." Amber replied with a smile.

Cole frowned in disbelief, "But why?"

"Why else would it be? What if it did cost a human's life?" Amber said, rubbing her temples.

Cole was touched immediately, and he turned silent.

Right, human life was no joke.

"Ahem." But soon, Cole adjusted his tie and laughed, "I have been wondering if she was the one who decided not to say anything on purpose."

"She wouldn't dare." Amber said with certainty.

That Alice dared to mislead netizens, but she never dared not explain the reason for her apology.

After all, these were two different matters.

Not everyone could figure out if she was misleading the netizens. Not everyone was smart enough.

But without explaining the reason for the apology - everyone could figure that out from her speech. Therefore, Amber was very sure that Alice did not dare.

"Fine. Since it was your idea, then I will stop worrying about it. And Amber, keep your eyes on Jared and don't let him mess around with those ladies out there. If he really can't keep it in his pants, then leave him, or you will be the one that gets hurt." Cole pouted.

Amber couldn't help laughing, "I know, I know. Don't worry about me, okay? Take care of yourself, okay?"

"What's that supposed to mean?" Cole pointed to himself, puzzled, "What do you mean?"

Amber raised his eyes and looked at the opposite side. Sheila had been keeping her head down, quietly listening to Amber and Cole's conversation. Amber sighed silently in her heart, and then tentatively asked Cole on the phone, "Of course I am talking about your love life. Cole, you are almost thirty-one, don't you want a stable relationship and start a family?"

Hearing this, Sheila suddenly raised her head and stared at Amber's cellphone, looking a bit anxious.

"Ms. Amber..." Sheila lowered her voice and hurriedly shouted, for fear that Amber would recommend herself to Cole Lyon at this time.

After all, Amber had always supported her in pursuing Cole.

If Cole didn't hate her, then Amber recommending her to Cole would only make herself nervous. Instead, she was scared at the moment.

Because Cole did hate her. So Amber's recommendation would only lead Cole to believe that the idea came from herself, and Cole would just hate her even worse. When Amber saw Sheila's expression, she knew what Sheila was worried about.

She shook her head slightly at Sheila, showing a reassuring smile, indicating that she didn't need to worry - she wasn't going to say anything bad about Sheila. Seeing so, Sheila finally felt a bit relaxed.

But the tension in her heart did not go away, and Sheila's eyes were still fixed on Amber's phone.

On the phone, Cole heard Amber ask about his relationship status, his expression darkened, and finally replied with a wry smile, "Amber, haven't you known me yet? I haven't moved on from my feelings for you, how could I go ahead and find someone else? If I do, it would be unfair to the lady."

"I know." Amber sighed, "But you will meet someone eventually, and you'd take her in your life, care for her, and perhaps in the end, you will be falling for her."

"There's no one like that in my life." Cole shrugged and replied disapprovingly.

Amber looked at Sheila.

Sheila was very nervous.

Amber quickly retracted her gaze and said tentatively, "Why being so negative? Cole, you are handsome and from a great upbringing, there must be a lot of ladies who have a secret crush on you. Perhaps your future other half can be one of them?"

Having said so, Amber put Cole on speaker.

Immediately, Sheila heard Cole's voice clearly.

Cole Lyon still had the same disapproving tone, "No, there aren't anyone like that. I don't and I won't like any of them."

Cole's words instantly made Sheila's face pale - her anticipation completely vanished, as if she had just come out of the ice cellar.

Seeing her like this, Amber opened her red lips, feeling extremely guilty.

She was hoping to test Cole for Sheila to see if there could be any sparks between Sheila and him.

But she didn't expect to hear such hurtful words from Cole.

Cole didn't mention Sheila's name directly, but Sheila was one of those girls who liked him.

Besides, Cole said that the girls who liked him weren't good enough, and he didn't like any of them. Did that mean he wouldn't like Sheila either?

For quite a moment, Amber regretted turning on the speaker and letting Sheila suffer such a harsh blow.

Amber looked at Sheila, sighed at last, frowned and asked to the phone, "Cole, do you think your words would hurt people?"

Cole Lyon leaned back in his chair lazily, and his voice was indifferent, "Why? I didn't say those in their face."

"You..." Amber was so angry at him. She pressed her eyebrows, "You know what, forget about it. I've got to go. I am hanging up now."

Saying so, she was about to hang up.

Cole Lyon suddenly stopped her, "Wait a minute, Amber."

"Do you have anything else to say?" Amber asked back.

Cole sat up straight, "It's nothing too important - it's just that my mom wanted to invite you and Jared over for dinner after knowing you two are getting back together. I've been telling her that you guys have been busy lately or she would have kept on asking. But she won't give up, she will definitely ask again soon. So I am just giving you a heads-up."

"Why would your mom want to invite us to dinner?" Amber was surprised.

It was normal for Mrs. Lyon to invite Amber herself for dinner.

But now she was inviting Jared as well, which was making her wonder.

Cole smiled and said, "It's a big deal that you both are getting back together. Plus my mom has always treated you as the daughter she's never had, so it's not a surprise that she'd ask you to dinner. After all, you are marrying Jared, again. So she must want to meet with you both, talk to Jared to make sure that he'll treat you well. Which future mother-in-law would not want to meet her son-in-law-to-be? Of course she wants to meet Jared!"

Amber nodded and smiled, "Right, right. Will you let your mom know for me that Jared and I would pay her a visit whenever she's available then?"

"Sure." Cole responded.

When the call was over, Amber put down her phone, and exhaled slightly. She then looked at Sheila, who had her head down and whose expression could not be seen clearly, and expressed remorse, "Sheila, I'm sorry, I didn't know Cole would..."

"Don't worry about it, Ms. Amber." Sheila raised her head, her eyes were red and her expression was said, however, she forced out a smile.

But that smile looked so stiff and upset.

"I know you were trying to help, so I don't blame you, Ms. Amber. It's so kind of you to do so for me, which I feel grateful for. But I've always known how Mr. Lyon feels about me. So I was not surprised to hear those hurtful words from him at all. After all, he never liked any of the girls who like him, me especially." Sheila's voice was bitter.

You couldn't blame Cole for that - it was Sheila's own idea to climb into Cole's bed while he was drunk after all.

Cole was the one who had been dragging her, not letting her go and mistaking her as Amber, however, Sheila was sober the whole time at that moment - she should have been able to push him away as a grown-up woman, or even she could've helped him sober up.

But she did not. She had indulged what Cole was doing and herself, which led to Cole's annoyed attitude toward herself now.

Sheila made a mistake, and she deserved the outcome.

Sometimes she was also asking herself if she regretted it - Would she regret not pushing Cole away that day?

She couldn't deceive herself. She did regret it.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
