Falling In Love With My Ex-Wife (Stella and Clarence) novel Chapter 26

Chapter 26 I Know You Didn't Mean It, Mr. Farrell

Standing in the cold wind near the car and talking on the phone, Amber felt dizzy and she staggered a little.

Jared looked sullen, directly took the phone from her and hung up. Then he carried her and went to the other side of the car.

She was startled by his action and almost dropped her umbrella. While gripping his shirt with one hand, she exclaimed, "Jared Farrell, put me down!"

He ignored her, pulled open the door to the passenger seat and shoved her in.

"Mr. Farrell, what do you want?" Seeing him pulling the seat belt, she said with a cold face, "I can find a driver, and I don't need your care!"

In their six years of marriage, they had never talked much, and he never cared for her. But after getting a divorce, within a few days, they met each other several times.

When did Olkmore City become so small?

Seeing her uncomfortable but stubborn look, he got more displeased and said, "The weather is not good and no driver will take your order."

"That's not your business."

"Amber." He leaned towards her and met her eyes. "Do you have to be so stubborn?"

The space inside the car was small. When he leaned over, she had nowhere to hide.

She got colder, her face paler. When she was about to say something, she suddenly noticed that his back got wet because he did not use an umbrella when carrying her.

Feeling somehow a bit shocked, she quickly looked away without saying anything.

He glanced at her and continued to pull the seat belt over. Because they were close, he accidently touched her heaving chest with his fingers.

They both froze.

She reacted first, snatched the seat belt from him and inserted it in the safety buckle.

He swallowed, "Sorry."

"It's okay. I know you did not mean it, Mr. Farrell." Thinking of what Mr. Yates said at the card table, she couldn't help but mock Jared, "Mr. Farrell, you are just a rare 'saint' for centuries!"

Hearing her taunt, he only frowned, quickly got into the driver's seat and started the car.

He asked, "What's the address?"

"Kelsington Bay," she replied succinctly and then looked out of the window with her hand under her chin.

They no longer spoke to each other. It was silent in the car and they could hear the subtle swaying sound of wipers.

She felt uncomfortable from the rain.

Due to the warm air inside the car, she soon felt dizzy and drowsy.

The car arrived at Kelsington Bay but Jared did not know which building she lived in. When he noticed her red cheeks, he guessed she probably had caught a cold. So he got off the car and bought some medicine.

"Amber." He patted her face and said, "Just take the medicine."

He called her name several times but she did not respond. Hearing her coughs, he put the medicine in his mouth first and cupped her jaw, leaned closer to her and fed the medicine into her mouth.

Her lips were cold but soft. He felt some kind of temptation and wanted to go deeper.

Suddenly, his phone on the armrest vibrated.

He returned to his senses, glancing at her slightly swollen lips and realizing what he had done. Feeling a bit flustered, he took over his phone.

"Jared, have you finished with your business?" Makenna's soft voice came on the phone.

"Yes."

"Then can you come to pick me and Aunt Shonna up from Outlets?" She said, "I came out with Aunt Shonna to do shopping and it rained suddenly. The driver went to pick up Logan from school and I had to call you," she explained.
