Chapter 45 Ex-sister-In-Law Counts Too!
“Don’t you have a home?” Amber glanced at his face and saw his swollen right cheek. She assumed that he had gotten into another fight. “You got into a fight and used my place as your haven?”
“You are my sister-in-law.”
“Ex-sister-in-law.”
“Even if you are my ex-sister-in-law, you are also my sister-in-law!” Logan said righteously, “Open the door and get me something to eat. I am hungry!”
“All right, shut up!”
Amber opened the door and dragged Logan into the house by the collar of his school uniform.
She took out the first-aid kit and applied ointment onto Logan’s red and swollen cheek.
After treating Logan’s wound, she took a piece of soup stock from the fridge and cooked it over low heat. She made two dishes and one soup.
As Logan ate his dinner, she asked, “About the wound on your face, did you save a damsel in distress again?”
“No.” Logan took two mouthfuls of rice and mumbled, “My mother slapped me.”
Amber froze.
She had been in the Farrell family’s residence for six years and knew how much Shonna loved Logan. Shonna would call Logan her precious son and give him anything he wanted. She had never said anything harsh to him nor hit him.
Amber ate a piece of apple and asked, “Your mother loves you very much, right? Why would she slap you?”
Logan pursed his lips. “She told me not to go out to play so often, and that I should learn more from
my elder brother. She wants me to join the Farrell Group early, but I am not interested in managing the company. What is wrong with me enjoying playing basketball? When I quarrelled with her, she got angry and slapped me…”
Amber could imagine the scene of Shonna getting mad and slapping Logan. She could not help but laugh
“What are you laughing at?” Logan glared at her.
“Didn’t you use to gloat next to me when your mother was teaching me a lesson?” Amber said, “I didn’t expect there will come a day when you get slapped by your mother. Am I not allowed to take pity on you, then?”
Logan was struck speechless.
After the meal, Logan cleaned up the dishes and went to wash them.
He took out a set of skincare products from his school bag and threw it to Amber. Although there was a hint of ingratiation, his tone was still very harsh. “This is what I spent three months. of pocket money on. Take it and go to my school on Saturday!”
Amber took one bottle of skincare products and looked at the brand. It was a famous brand, and a bottle of essence water would cost nearly one thousand dollars.
She estimated this skincare set to be at least twenty thousand dollars.
“I know I used to be mean to you and disrespect you. But at that time, I thought you bullied Makenna and snatched my brother from her. Besides, my mom kept bad mouthing you, so I went along with not liking you…”

And…….terrible ending, the story is not finished....
Jared needs to find a way to sleep with Amber, find the letters in her bedroom and realize he has given his love to the wrong woman through Makenna’s deception. Don’t want he or Amber to live a life of misery due to someone else’s lying. Makenna and her family are terrible people, using Jared for his status and wealth....
Amber needs to lighten up a little too, their relationship was not all Jared’s fault as she didn’t tell him the truth about being his pen pal either. As for his mother, let her drop dead along with the Gardners....
Jared needs to state his feelings so Amber can feel his sincerity which means dumping Makenna, the fake, despicable woman...
Wow Jared needs to grow a set and dump that lying deceitful witch and her whole family and remarry Amber asap. Otherwise he will be a miserable man for life with that terrible woman....
Jared needs to wake up and dump Makenna particularly since his true love is Amber not the wicked witch....
Ugh, why do the horrible conniving people always win. Terrible Makenna is wicked, she’s a thief, stealing Ambers identity as Maple Leaf and pretending to be someone she’s not. Awful person....
