Amber frowned more deeply.
He sounded as if he was a husband interrogating his disloyal wife.
He hadn't accepted his identity yet, had he?
"It's none of your business. Stop being so nosy." Amber curled her lips and turned away.
Jared grabbed her arm. "I'm just worried about you. It's so late now..."
"Thank you for your kindness, but I don't need it." Amber pulled out her arm and looked at him coldly. "You never cared about me before, so I don't need it now. Mr. Farrell, it's quite late now. Just go home. I'm going home as well."
Then she ignored him and walked into the building.
Jared didn't stop her again, watching her figure disappear in silence.
After arriving home, Amber took off her shoes and tossed away her purse. Then she walked to the bathroom barefoot.
She took a shower and walked to the bedroom to sleep.
She was supposed to sleep at ten o'clock, but Hayden called her out. Now, she felt too sleepy to keep her eyes open.
She yawned and walked to the French window, ready to pull the curtain down.
Suddenly, she looked down and saw the ordinary car was still parked on the roadside downstairs.
That meant Jared was still there.
Amber wondered if he wanted to play at being a loving man.
She snorted. She pulled down the curtain without hesitation and lay down on the bed the next second.
Downstairs, Jared was sitting in the driver's seat and looked up at a particular building level.
When the light was out in the window, he knew she had gone to bed.
Suddenly, his phone rang.
Jared picked it up to check the caller ID. It was a call from Ben.
"What's up?" Jared swiped to answer and put it in the hand-free mode. He tossed the phone to the passenger seat and found a pack of cigarettes and a lighter from the storage box.
Ben answered, "Nothing important, Mr. Farrell. The hospital called. Makenna is awake."
"Ehn." Jared didn't react at all after hearing it. He pulled out a cigarette, lit it up, and took a drag.
Ben wasn't surprised at his reaction. He pushed up his glasses and added, "Another thing. Makayla has returned to the Gardner family."
"What?" Jared paused when flicking the ash. Squinting, he repeated, "Makayla?"
"Yes," Ben nodded and confirmed.
Jared frowned. "The real Makayla?"
"Probably yes. Makayla went to find the Gardner couple with a necklace. The Gardner couple has done the paternity test with her. Makayla stays, so she's probably the real one," Ben answered thoughtfully.
Jared looked solemn.
Their daughter's necklace...
Wasn't their daughter's necklace in Amber's hands? How could another woman have it?
Jared wondered if that necklace was fake.
It shouldn't be. If so, the Gardner couple should be able to recognize it. After all, it was a gift from them to their daughter. No one else would be more familiar with it than they were.
Besides, the necklace was designed for their daughter particularly. It was unique in this world. Its photos had never been exposed online. The only necklace exposed online was the mother's necklace, and its pictures were posted by Trenton a few days ago.
The daughter's necklace looked similar to the mother's, but it had something different. Hence, others couldn't fake it at all.
The only explanation was that Makayla's appearance had something to do with Amber.
Amer probably gave the necklace to Makayla, and the latter went to see Trenton with it.
Jared wondered why Amber had done it.
He looked up at the window in the dark, frowning.
"Mr. Farrell? Mr. Farrell?" Ben called him after hearing no response from him for a long time.
Jared returned to his senses. "Go check the former identity of that woman. See if she has ever contacted Amber."
