Chapter 33 Are Those Jared’s Initials?
Amber quickly pulled her sweater down to cover up her tattoo and hurried to the door. When seeing Jared and Makenna at the door, she was taken aback.
Makenna looked lovely in a champagne-colored long dress next to Jared, who was dressed in a tailor made black suit.
What a match made in heaven for these pairs.
“Where is Logan?” Jared asked, his face darkening as he looked at Amber’s unkempt hair and flushed face.
“How did Mr. Farrell know Logan was here? You even know where I stay. You are not tailing me, are you?” Amber asked instead of replying.
Makenna took a step forward and smiled. “Amber, don’t get it wrong, we were having dinner with my parents just now, but Logan was nowhere to be seen, and he didn’t even answer the call. So we tracked down his phone and discovered his location. As for your resident, we asked the reception upon arrival,” she said gently.
“I thought it was because Mr. Farrell missed me so much after divorce that he was tailing me,” Amber showed a languid smile.
Makenna’s smile froze for a second. “We are here to fetch Logan, please let him out,” she said softly,
“Logan, your brother and your sister-in-law are here for you. I didn’t sell you out. He found you using GPS set up in your phone,” Amber shouted at the living room.
Logan could see his brother from the living room, so he had no choice but to grab his belongings and go.
“Mr. Farrell, do you mind paying for the beef noodles and medication your brother used?” Amber said as the three were about to depart.
“How frugal can you go? You can’t afford beef noodles?” Logan was enraged.
“Beef is costly, and you are a stranger to me, so why would I give you a free meal?”
Her words left Logan speechless.
“Is this enough?” Jared said as he took out five bills and offered them to Amber.
“Thank you, and goodbye.” While the trio got inside the elevator, Amber collected the money and locked the door behind her without a moment of hesitation.
Jared asked in the car, “Why are you here instead of going to the dinner? What’s the matter with your face?”
“I got into a fight with classmates and I didn’t want to go to the dinner looking like this, especially while Makenna and her parents are present, so I contacted your wife… Err… Amber to come to bail me out and had dinner at her apartment,” Logan spoke quickly . He had always been afraid of Jared.
Makenna clenched her hands quietly when she overheard Logan referred Amber as Jared’s wife.
She then took out the car’s first-aid kit and began to take care of Logan’s injuries tenderly.
“Logan, if you ever need assistance, you may contact your brother or me; we are a family and are always willing to help. It is not appropriate to disturb Amber’s life with her partner.”
“I guess she is living alone. There isn’t anybody else there,” Logan answered, feeling weird recalling Amber’s teasing just now at the dinner table.
In the rear-view mirror, Jared glimpsed at Logan and felt much better hearing his remarks.
“Perhaps they have another apartment,” Makenna added, smiling softly. “I’ve cleaned your wound; do you still feel pain?”
Logan grinned brightly as he said, “No, thank you, Makenna,” Makenna was much softer than Amber!
“Jared, I heard you let Ben handle the rumors. It’s not that big of an issue, but the employee filmed a video and made it viral. Not only did it disgrace your mom, but it also badly affected you,” Makenna stated intentionally as she closed the kit.
“What exactly did you mean? Amber’s employees recorded the video?” Logan asked, concerned.
“No, I mean Amber was aware of this, and if she had intervened, the video would not have gone viral,” Makenna explained.
“There are so many workers,” Logan continued, “That a warning wouldn’t have stopped the video from becoming viral. Furthermore, it was my mother’s fault; she shouldn’t have gone to Goldstone and caused a ruckus. Amber and Jared are no longer married.”
Despite his dislike for Amber, Logan knew she wasn’t the kind to do shady things because they’d been living together for over six years. Furthermore, it was Shonna, not Amber, who began the fight.
Makenna couldn’t believe what she was hearing; Logan despised Amber but was now protecting her.All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.
“Makenna, why are you staring at me like that?” Logan remarked, accidentally touching his wound as he caressed his face. “How terrible is my injury?” Logan asked, his face contorted with anguish.
“Yes, you will undoubtedly be the center of attraction at school tomorrow,” Makenna immediately replied, her disbelief concealed behind a smile.
Logan became upset, wishing to skip school but afraid to say so because Jared was around. If he refused to go to school, he may be kicked out of the house.
They soon arrived at the Farrell.
Shonna was overjoyed to see Makenna, “Thank you for searching for Logan with Jared. Why don’t you stay the night? It’s late, and you’ve already moved in.” She expressed herself passionately while clutching Makenna’s arm.
Makenna, too, wanted to stay, she swept a glance at Jared. “Thank you,” she said to Shonna after receiving no response from Jared.
“We’re a family, so there’s no need to be so formal,” Shonna cheerfully said.
After showering, Jared headed to work in the study room. Instead of pulling the drawer containing ink, he pulled the one containing old yellowing letters, which made him grin.
Those were letters he exchanged with a friend who went by the pen name “Maple Leaf”. He began exchanging letters with Maple Leaf by chance, but they quickly became soul mates, and she was the first person he fell in love with.
And Maple Leaf turned out to be Makenna, how unexpected.
