My ex-wife is so beautiful novel (Jared and Amber)
Chapter 820 Buy You Lunch

"It's nothing. You're his girlfriend and you two will marry again if things don't go wrong. Why would you put it that way? Isn't he ought to help you with anything?" Hayden shrugged and said indifferently. Amber shook her head, "In this world, no one owns others anything. We're together now and will be married in the future, but that doesn't mean he should do anything for me. That's not right. And I'm not that kind of person who likes to own favors. I would always feel uncomfortable until I pay back those favors."

"I can tell." Hayden looked at her and agreed,

Amber smiled and said, "Like I said, I've owned Jared a lot before we got back together so I don't wanna own him even more. Now that we're together again, if I bother him with everything, I would feel inferior in this relationship and it won't be an equal relationship. Also, if I go to him for help every time I'm faced with an obstacle, I would lose my ability to think and tackle problems. I would want him to help me every time something's up. Have you thought about that?"

"What?" Hayden blinked and was confused.

Amber put that cup of tea back on the table, "Jared loves me now, and I know that if I ask him for anything, he will say yes and make it happen. That's nice. But if one day he doesn't love me and I'm habitually dependent on him, will he always help me?"

She shook her head slightly, "I don't think so. If affections are worn out, they will never come back. So I don't want to use Jared as a tool to help me deal with things. It's not fair to him, and it's a lack of trust in my own abilities."

Listening to Amber's comments, Hayden was so shocked that he had nothing to say to contradict them.

In his mind, his woman is his pet. As long as his woman had any difficulties, he would solve them for her directly. That was what a man should do.

But when he heard her point of view, and looked at the matter from another Angle, he suddenly felt that his idea was not so right again.

Indeed, to settle everything for his loved one was an act of love.

But this love indeed would let the loved one lose the ability to be independent and become a person who couldn't deal with things by themselves.

So was it love or harm?

He thought it was both.

He could offer help but should not be blindly obedient.

Helping the loved one when she had no way out was truly meaningful.

And he also agreed with her when she said a man would help his loved one when she had trouble but he would be annoyed when he didn't love him anymore.

He might still help her a few times because of their past but if he helped her for too many times, he would be annoyed.

Thinking of that, Hayden thought more highly of Amber, "You're special and your point of view is refreshing."

That was why he couldn't forget about her.

Amber didn't understand the deeper meaning of his words. She added with a faint smile, "But the other thing is, Jared is definitely not going to ask me to return the favor. He's not going to like it if I do. I don't want to fight with him. So when it's hard for me to do something and I have to ask someone else for help, I think of you and Cole. At least you are friends with me, and if I return the favor, you will accept it, because you know that if I do not return the favor, I will be unhappy."

Hayden suddenly understood and smiled bitterly, "Well, I was wondering why you came to me instead of Jared, because I couldn't and wouldn't refuse your favor, and that was also the same with dealing with the Gardner family."

"Huh?" Amber looked at him.

Hayden leaned forward slightly, “I always wondered, if you wanted revenge, wouldn't it be so easy to get Jared to help? Although Jared could not openly attack the Gardner family without being warned by the government, it would have been very easy for Jared to secretly take down the Gardner family. Even though the government knew he was doing it, Jared didn't do it publicly so the government couldn't even give him a warning."

He pointed his finger at the table, "So if you had let Jared help you with the Gardner family, the Gardner family would have been doomed. They wouldn't still exist today. But you didn't ask Jared for help and had to do it yourself. You went all out of your way and it didn't work. I was wondering what the hell is going on with you, and I didn't know that was the reason why."

"That's not the only reason," Amber looked down, "it's mostly because this is a feud between The Reed family and The Gardner family. I shouldn't use the power of the Farrell family to avenge? Jared's grandfather had dedicated his life to the Farrell family. He was a founding father of the nation and the government has a very good impression of the Farrell family. I don't want to let Jared's grandfather's efforts go to waste because of me."

"That being said, did it ever occur to you that Jared would actually go after the Gardner family? Makenna hypnotized Jared, which in itself set Jared up against the Gardner family, but Jared never went after the Gardner family. Didn't you ever wonder why?" Hayden asked.

Amber smiled, "I know. I asked Jared about it earlier, and he said it was because of me. He knew I wanted revenge myself, and when I refused his help, he said he could wait until I had done it and then deal with what was left of the Gardner family for what Makenna to him."

"So you've arranged everything. Then I have been worrying about you for nothing." Hayden's face twitched a little.

Amber checks her watch a little and said, "Don't say that. I'm really touched that you thought of that for us. I owe you one for helping me find the right gene this time. I'll do whatever you want me to do, except illegal things, of course."

"Don't worry," Hayden waved his hand, "I work in the government myself. How could I make you break the law? And I wouldn't put you in a difficult position, but right now I don't know what I want. I'll let you know when I've decided."

"Ok. As long as you don't forget. If you forget, I may pretend that I also forget all about it," Amber joked. She got to her feet and picked up her purse, "It's getting late. I'll buy you lunch to thank you for coming to court with me and helping me find the gene."

Hayden leaned back warily, "This meal isn't going to cancel out our engagement, is it?"

Amber laughed, "Of course..."

Hayden became more cautious.

Amber gave him a look, "Of course not. I would despise myself if I repay you with just one meal. Now, let's go and eat."

"I' coming." Hayden followed her out of the cafe, grinning.

After the meal, Hayden said goodbye to Amber.

Instead of going back to the Cohen family, he drove to the Farrell Group.

He had something he wanted to talk to Jared about.

Arriving at the Farrell Group, Hayden headed straight for the elevator. No one stopped him.

After all, he used to come here all the time, and the receptionists knew him, so they wouldn't stop him.

After Hayden told Jared that he was in love with Amber, he never came back here since. The friendship between the two was not as deep as before and there are some cracks in their relationships. But others didn't know about it. They thought the relationship between the two was still as good as in the past.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
