Hypnotizing Love novel Chapter 45

"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.
