My ex-wife is so beautiful novel (Jared and Amber)
Chapter 882 Don’t Betray Me

"I'm at fault, too."

Suddenly, Jared unbuckled his seat belt, wrapped Amber sideways around him, puts his chin on Amber's shoulder, and his voice was filled with remorse. "If I had found out at an early age that Connor Stockert had betrayed my mother, she might not have waited ten years, or given up her life in despair at the sight of hope. Maybe if she had known that Connor Stockert was cheating on her, she would have gotten ove her relationship with Connor Stockert sooner and really accepted my father."

Amber, sensing his loneliness and guilt, patted him on the back lovingly, "Don't say that, it's not your fault, you were a kid at that time, how could you have thought about it so much, so it's really not your fault. Don't blame yourself. Your mother loved you, and if she knew that you were trying to pin her death on you, she'd be devastated, too, and you wouldn't want that, would you?"

Jared didn't say anything, but silently held Amber closer and buried his head deeper into her neck.

Amber continued to pat him on the back, silently calming him.

Even though he was so high up and powerful, and he seemed to be able to do anything.

But stripped of all the glamour, he was just another man.

An ordinary man with feelings like ordinary people.

He would be sad, he would blame himself, he would feel guilty.

And he could use a little comfort and companionship.

It wasn't until a cop knocked on the window and told them not to stop for too long that Jared released Amber, started his car, and drove away.

On the way back to Kelsington Bay, Jared was driving quietly, staring straight at the road, and not saying a word.

At Kelsington Bay, he pulled into the parking lot. When he was stationary, he let go of the wheel and looked at Amber next to him, "You can rest assured that I will never be a man like Connor Stockert." "What?" Amber paused as she undid her seat belt, as if wondering why he would say such a thing.

Jared took her hand and looked serious, "I will give you my heart and soul, and I will never be a hypocrite like Connor Stockert, who says one thing and does another in secret. I won't hurt you the way he hurt my mother, and that's my promise to you. Trust me."

As a man, you should keep your promises and agreements.

If you said yes, you must do it.

Jared was brought up not to be a person who broke his promises. When you loved someone, you should love them with all your heart and you two had only each other.

Even if you didn't love each other, you should continue to be loyal as long as you were not apart.

This was to respect each other, but also to their own moral responsibility.

Of course, there would never be a time when he didn't love Amber.

So, for people like Connor Stockert, even though he was a man, he was sick to death.

He told Amber that because he wanted her to know that there were plenty of men in the world. There were plenty of guys like Connor Stockert out there, but there were also plenty of good ones, and Jared was one of them.

He didn't want her to hear about the disgusting things Connor Stockert was doing and suspect him of doing the same thing out there, too. After all, he had made promises to her in the past, and he was worried that Connor Stockert might made her think his promises were unreliable.

Then he would be really vexed.

So, he couldn't wait to make it clear to Amber that he was not Connor Stockert, and he certainly won't be Connor Stockert.

She was supposed to believe him, right?

Jared pursed his lips. In his eyes, which had always been as dark as two black holes, there was an obvious hint of apprehension.

He was worried, that she wouldn't believe it, and that she was really going to think that he was going to do the same because of Connor Stockert.

Amber covered her lips and chuckled at his taut face, "Okay, come on, I don't think that's gonna happen to you because of what Connor Stockert did to your mother. Everyone is different, and I've always been aware of that."

The man's mind was too easy to understand.

She could tell immediately that he was worried about something. Although she felt that his concern was totally unnecessary, she was touched by his immediate consideration of her feelings and his immediate reassurance that she might be confused.

"The world is multifaceted, and so are people. There are good people and bad people. Just because Connor Stockert is a cheating man doesn't mean that all men in the world are cheating men and will be just like Connor Stockert. That's not fair to the good guys. So, you don't have to worry. I won't think anything, and I won't suspect you of anything. Even if I don't have faith in you, I should have faith in my own choice. I believe the man I chose is not a duplicitous cheater who plays with women's affections. What do you say?"

Amber smiled and looked at him.

Jared nodded very firmly, "Of course, I won't make you think you're wrong about men."

"That's good. That's enough." Amber gently pinched the man's finger.

The man was relieved.

Good thing she wasn't affected by what Connor Stockert did.

If she was affected, he was gonna kill Connor Stockert right now, and that was it.

Then, Amber's next sentence caught Jared's attention.

"But..." Amber squinted, her eyes twinkling.

Jared had a bad feeling, "But what?"

His Adam's apple stirred and his voice was hoarse.

Amber beamed at the man with a sly look in her eyes, "But if you do, if you betray me while we're still together, and you lose my trust in you, don't blame me for destroying your tools."

With that, she made a cutting motion, looking down and settling on the spot between his legs. Jared's pupils shrank and his face changed for a second. He sat in his seat, his legs splayed unconsciously under her gaze and threat.

Apparently, he didn't expect her to say that.

That was a bit harsh.

Looking at Jared's silent, tight-lipped face, Amber leaned her head and said with a half-smile, "What? You think I'm out of line? But I don't think I'm out of line, and if you don't do those things, I won't either. Do you think I'm out of line because you're gonna do to me what Connor Stockert did to your mother?"

"No!" Jared scowled and blurted out, "I'm not gonna be like Connor Stockert."

"Then why didn't you say anything? I said, if you don't betray me, you won't think what I said was too much, because you won't have that day, and naturally you don't need to worry about anything." Amber stared into the man's eyes.

The man sighed, "I don't think you're out of line. I'm just taken aback."

"Taken aback?" Amber tilted her head.

Jared nodded and said, "Although I am not afraid of what you just said, nor am I afraid that I will come to that. But don't let your eyes fall on me, and don't be so serious. You make me feel like you're gonna ruin me the next minute. You know, men really care about this, after all...”

His eyes moved.
