My ex-wife is so beautiful novel (Jared and Amber)
Chapter 836 Is this My Karma?

She grabbed Amber's right hand in a fit of desperation.

Amber heaved a sigh when she saw Sheila's pale face and bony hands. She then tapped the back of Sheila's hand with her left hand. "Don't be so emotional. I am not going to fire you. I was just wondering now that you are pregnant, you are going to get weak and you would be in worse conditions if you continue working. I just want to give you some time off and get back to work when you get better."

"I know, but it's unnecessary." Sheila shook her head and added, "I am going to abort this baby in the hospital in a few days, so I can resume working soon and don't need to take time off." "What?" Amber's face changed, "Are you really going to get rid of your baby?"

Sheila was not surprised at the fact that Amber had already guessed that she was going to let go of the baby.

After all, Dr. Lansdale told her that she was pregnant and he would naturally learn that she had consulted a doctor about the abortion in the hospital and then tell Amber.

"Yeah, I am going to do it." Sheila nodded and she was shrouded with loneliness, "This baby shouldn't have come to this world anyway. His father doesn't even know his existence, so I'm going to do this soon and get everything back to track. We are just going to pretend that nothing has happened between me and his father.”

Amber stared at Sheila and asked in a while, "The baby's father is Cole, right?"

Sheila instantly froze and met Amber's eyes in shock and didn't expect Amber to know this information.

Amber let out a sigh when she saw Sheila's reaction, "Well, I guessed it right. This is Cole's baby. You have had feelings for him for a long time and certainly wouldn't accept other men. Moreover, there aren't any other men around you, so this baby can only be Cole's. Um, you and Cole, when did you..."

Amber was embarrassed to finish her sentence but they both knew what she was referring to.

Sheila dropped her head and looked quite awkward, "It happened when Mr. Lyon stormed out of your office and you asked me to check on him and prevent him from doing anything stupid as you were worried. Amber immediately remembered everything.

Cole told her his feelings for her at that time, but she rejected him and stated that she had no feelings for him and just saw him as her friend and bestie and would never be with him.

She was worried when she saw Cole's gloomy look and was afraid that he might do something impulsive, but she can't just chase him out.

After all, she just turned down him and it would be confusing for him if she followed him and soothed him.

She then asked Sheila to follow Cole and keep an eye on him so that he wouldn't do anything stupid.

After all, Sheila was his secretary before and they were classmates and remained on good terms, so it was perfect to let her check on Cole.

However, she didn't go back to the office till the second day and Amber actually noticed that she was walking weirdly that day, but she didn't really think too much.

Now that she came to think of it, she had missed many key elements.

Amber rubbed her temples in regret and was upset that she was careless before.

"I see. No wonder." Amber let out a wry smile, "I just realized the weird vibe between you and Cole started after that day. Before that, you were normal friends, but after that day, Cole's attitude towards you just changed and got mean. What's more, you were pretty strange every time you mentioned him."

"Yeah. We had sex that night." Sheila looked upset, "After leaving Goldstone Co. that day, Mr. Lyon went to a bar and got wasted. I told him to not drink so much, but he wouldn't listen and I had no choice but to accompany with and wanted to drive him back to his back when he was done. But he mistook me as you after getting drunk and just dragged me to..."

Sheila then looked up and gazed at Amber who got quite awkward.

Well, it was normal that she would feel this way.

Sheila said that Cole thought that Sheila was she and just forced her to sleep with him.

That was to say, Sheila was her sub and was then...

Amber then sunk into remorse and apologized, "Sheila, I'm sorry. I..."

"President Reed, I know what you are going to say." Sheila shook her head and let out a smile, "This is not your business and certainly not your fault."

"No, it's my bad." Amber covered her face with guilt, "If I didn't ask you to follow Cole, you wouldn't have been..."

"It was consensual." Sheila cut her half-sentenced.

Amber paused, "Consensual?"

"Yeah." Sheila nodded, "Well, you know that I have crush on Mr. Lyon for a long time. Though he mistook me for you that day and dragged me into the hotel, I didn't struggle but played along. Well, I love him and didn't fight back. I knew that if I had said no, I would never get a second chance to be with him, so I had a few drinks with him. I wasn't drunk, but the inner dark side of me was exposed." Amber gazed at her and suddenly realized something.

Sheila let out a self-deprecating smile, "You know what? I wasn't thinking that I should push him away when he pulled my hands but if I really did it with him, he would have to be responsible for me and then I got to be with him. Though he didn't love me for now, I can definitely grow on him over time. So I just slept with him, but I didn't expect that he wouldn't want to be with me but hated my guts when he woke up." Sheila's eyes started welling up.

She then wiped the corner of her eyes with her wrist and forced a smile, "President Reed, is this my karma? It's a taste of my own medicine." Amber moved her mouth and wanted to say something, but she ended up saying nothing for she didn't know how to comment on this.

She thought that she got Sheila into this trouble as she asked her to follow Cole, which led to this whole matter.

However, after hearing what Sheila said, she knew that she was wrong, but she wasn't really responsible for this, as what really led to this whole mess was Sheila herself.

After all, Sheila said that she could have pushed Cole away and prevented the incident, but her inner dark side got the better of her, and she chose not to fight back.

Shelia was indeed scheming against Cole and foolishly thought that she would be with him if they had sex, but didn't expect that Cole never wanted to be responsible for her. This mess was actually the result of her own doing.

However, she can't say it out loud.

Sheila didn't really care that Amber said nothing. s like that she wanted to vent all the pent-up feelings out.

After having some milk, she continued, "The reason why Mr. Lyon was so indifferent to me was that he knew I got selfish and didn't push him away on purpose. After all, he was the drunk one and I was sober."00000
