My ex-wife is so beautiful novel (Jared and Amber) -
Chapter 851 Worried Jared Farrell
Speaking of Amber Reed, her voice started to sound a little shrill.
Jared Farrell already reached the start of the stairs. After he heard her words, he narrowed his eyes, stopped immediately, and turned around.
Shonna Woodham didn't expect that Jared would suddenly turn around. Looking at his gloomy face, Shonna was a bit shocked, "Jared, you..."
"Mom, we've talked about this before. I don't mind that you dislike Amber, after all, you get to choose whom you like or hate. But could you at least show some respect and hide away your resentment in front of me? It's upsetting seeing the woman I'm in love with being trampled on by others, especially by you. Don't you get it, mom?"
Jared looked at Shonna coldly.
Shonna bowed her head. "I hear you."
"Right, you heard me now, but you never learned." Jared said in a cold voice, "Amber has never wronged you. What good does it do you to hate her so much?"
Shonna's lips move, but no words came out between them.
Of course, she knew she wasn't doing herself any good by treating Amber as an enemy.
It was just that she was an elder and that Amber had embarrassed her a few times, so she had been holding grudges against Amber ever since. That was why the hatred had been piling up.
Therefore, every time she saw or mentioned Amber Reed, she subconsciously began to pick on her.
Seeing that Shonna didn't say a word, Jared rubbed his temples, "Fine. Anyway, you've promised me before that you will never hurt Amber."
"I did, and I never have. I was just being mean with my words, anyway." Shonna muttered.
If Shonna wanted to hurt Amber, she would have done it already.
She wouldn't have to hold back until now.
Besides, she never forgot what Jared had said to her. If she ever hurt Amber, it'd only lead to Jared deciding to send herself away to live in other properties of the Farrell family - Jared would always choose Amber over Shonna.
That only equaled that Shonna would be kicked out of the Farrell family - she would never want that for herself.
Right now, she was just being assertive. She wouldn't dare take action against Amber Reed.
"Don't you scold her either." How could Jared not know what was going on Shonna's mind? He lightly opened his thin lips and said coldly, "I can't bear to say anything bad to her or about her, so how could I let others do so? Whether it's now or in the future, Amber will not be living in the same house with you - you could just pretend she never existed. And what you think of her doesn't matter to me."
No matter how dissatisfied Shonna was, she could only nod her head in agreement.
Seeing her do so, Jared turned around again and went upstairs.
Shonna stood there, stomped her feet, and went back to the sofa.
Not long after Shonna sat on the sofa, Jared came downstairs with a jewelry box in his hand.
As soon as she saw the jewelry box, she immediately got up and walked over, "Jared, what did you get for Amber?"
He opened the jewelry box to show Shonna. "A set of sapphire."
Looking at the set of sapphire jewelry, she couldn't take her eyes away and reached out to touch it.
Jared saw her intention and immediately closed the box, isolating her movements and eyes.
There was no way he would let Little Maple put on jewelry that had been touched.
Not to mention if that person who touched it was someone disliked by Little Maple.
Shonna didn't expect that Jared would close the box all of a sudden, so she was stunned for a while. She took a while to react, and looked at him in disbelief, "Jared, why did you close it so suddenly?" "It's getting late. I've got to go." Jared didn't give her an explanation - he put away the box and prepared to leave.
Shonna grabbed her, "Hang on a second, Jared. Can you tell me why you are giving her jewelry first? Is it really a good idea giving away such precious jewelry?"
She had the expression on her face as if she was truly being thoughtful for him.
Jared was a bit annoyed, knowing she was being trouble again.
Although Shonna didn't directly mention Amber or speak ill of her, what Shonna meant was obvious - she didn't want Jared to gift such precious Jewelry to Amber.
Jared couldn't figure out why Shonna had to make a hard time with Amber.
In the past six years, Shonna had been picking on Amber - she even claimed she had been doing so to look out for Jared. She hated to see him marry a girl raised by a poor family. She feared that she wouldn' be any helpful to him and that she would only make him the joke in their social circle.
But Jared made it clear later that he never minded whether his wife would be able to help boost his career because he was capable himself to build up the Farrell family and keep it strong. As long as he was with power and money, no one would dare to make a fuss about his wife or her upbringing.
Jared had made this clear with Shonna, and there was no way she wasn't aware that he was able.
But if she knew about it, why didn't she get along with Amber?
Jared wasn't able to figure this out, either did he bother to ask Shonna about it.
Anyway, he and Amber would not live in the Farrell's Mansion in the future.
"It only feels right to do so." Jared looked at Shonna and said in a low voice, "My mother left these to her future daughter-in-law, and soon enough, Amber will be my wife - I'm just giving these to her earlier." Hearing his words, what else could Shonna say?
Even though she was unwilling to see the jewelry be gifted to Amber, she could only watch them be hers.
After all, she didn't know how to convince Jared to give up the idea of giving Amber the jewelry.
Seeing that Shonna stopped talking, Jared moved his feet and walked toward the gate of the Farrell's Mansion. He quickly left and drove in the direction of Kelsington Bay.
When Jared arrived, it was already past nine o'clock.
But the moment Jared opened the door and walked into Amber's apartment, he could feel the vibe wasn't right.
He frowned at first, and then subconsciously walked to the living room lightly.
The light in the living room was on, and he saw Amber sitting on the sofa with her head lowered slightly as if she was in a daze.
Seeing Amber being this way made Jared's heart sink.
Because Amber's body was tense, there was an air of nervousness and unease all over her body.
What was she nervous about?
What was she worried about?
Did anything happen to her before he came back?
Thinking of this, Jared quickly put down the jewelry box in his hand and walked over quickly, "Little Maple!"
He let out a deep cry.
When Amber heard Jared's voice, she raised her head sharply and turned to look at him.
The moment she saw him, she suddenly seemed startled again, lowered her eyelids, forced a smile, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Hey, you are back."
Jared didn't respond to her question. He pursed his thin lips and continued walking toward her. When he walked to her side, he looked down at her and said in a gentle voice, "What's wrong? Did something happen?"
Hearing the man's words full of concern and worry, Amber's red lips twitched, wasn't able to hold back any longer - she suddenly stood up, threw herself into Jared's arms, hugged his waist tightly with both hands, and buried her head in his arms.
Jared felt the helplessness from Amber, and his heart became tenser.
He raised his hands, put one arm around her waist, and patted her back gently with the other. Jared looked at the void behind her, her face and eyes filled with endless frost. But his tone was still very gentle, "Tell me, what happened babe? I'm here."
If someone bullied her, he would make sure he paid for it!0000000
