Honey, I Don't Dare Again (Amber and Jared) novel novel Chapter 38
Chapter 38 Pay off My Bet
Jared who dressed in a black cloak entered. His attractive features and cool demeanor still cause a flutter in Amber’s emotions. She locked her gaze on him for a few moments before lowering her head.
Even after their divorce, he was still able to influence her emotional state.
“Hello Mr. Farrell,” Chloe, the second person to see Jared greeted him. “Makenna mentioned that you are busy working, yet, you are still here to pick her up?”
Jared responded with a simple nod and was slightly annoyed seeing Amber.
Did she forget what happened previously at Red Plum Club?
He didn’t believe Hayden when he told him Amber and Makenna were playing poker. He knew Amber sucked at poker and wouldn’t do something stupid like playing with Makenna. But Hayden managed to lure him here by sending him a photograph.
“Didn’t you mention you were coughing this afternoon?” Jared asked Makenna, who was looking a little pale. “Why are you here instead of resting?” He asked softly.
“It’s not something serious,” Makenna said with a smile, “And I want to welcome Gigi to our city.”
Jared had heard about Gigi from South Riverside and he knew Mel Garland.
He took off his scarf and put it around Makenna’s neck, causing the other ladies to look at her
enviously.
“Mr. Farrell, we know you care so much about Makenna but it’s warm in here, she isn’t that cold,” Chloe said, “But your care for her makes us envy.”
“Get out you,” Makenna joked as she flushed at Chloe’s words.
“All right, I’ll shut up.”

were like sharp blades stabbing Amber’s heart.
When Makenna challenged her for a deal, she wanted her to leave Jared and never return to Olkmore, but after seeing how Jared treated her, she changed her mind.
“Ms. Reed’s isn’t good at poker,” Jared said, sweeping his gaze over Amber’s cards. “It’s no

pleasure playing with such a rookie, and let me play with you after this round.”
Makenna’s smile froze for a second as she heard this, but she accepted meekly.
Meanwhile, Chloe noticed Amber was winning and wanted to inform Makenna, but Amber didn’t make a move, so Makenna called for the win instead. “Ms. Reed, I’ll take this round as
well.”
“Wow, Makenna, you’re a fantastic player; you’ve got a full house!”
“You must pay off your bet Amber,” Gigi stated as she handed the server a bundle of cash. “Find us a tattoo artist as soon as possible.”
“Yes, right away.”
“What is all this about?” Jared asked Makenna, puzzled by what was going on.
“I’m informed that Ms. Reed has your initials tattooed on her body… It was her who wanted to
bet and promised to have the tattoo removed if she lost,” Makenna murmured gently, biting her
lower lips.
“Ms. Gardner, you were the one who initiated the bet at the restaurant earlier and wanted her
to remove the ‘JF’ letters on her waist if she lost, but now you’re claiming otherwise?” Stella
inquired. “You’re being nasty.”
“Stop spouting nonsense,” Chloe chastised, knowing that everyone was on her side. “Is it
