"No." Amber shook her head. "Am I that soft? She took advantage of me when I was off guard. She can't bully me when I'm prepared for that."
Jared was relieved to hear that she was not bullied. "That's good."
"Mr. Farrell, is that why you called me?" Amber blinked.
Jared nodded. "I' m worried."
Amber was indescribably happy in her heart. Her red lips curled up slightly as her tone softened. "Don't worry, I'll be fine."
"Okay," Jared replied to her.
After that, they fell into awkward silence.
Amber realized that their relationship had become awkward since they fell off the cliff.
Her attitude towards Jared wasn't as bad as before, so their relationship became strange.
Just like this, she didn't know what to say and fell silent after they finished a topic.
If it was in the past, she would have hung up without saying anything. But now, she couldn't because Jared was her life-saver.
Therefore, she had to be polite to Jared before getting off the phone.
As she thought about it, Amber took a deep breath and held the phone in her hands. She said to the man on the other end of the phone, "Mr. Farrell, I'm almost there. I have to hang up."
They couldn't remain silent like this forever.
The best way to resolve this awkwardness was to wrap it up and hung up.
Jared felt the same way. He replied in a slightly hoarse voice, "Okay."
When the call was ended, Amber put down her phone and stared out the window in a daze. No one knew what she was thinking.
Soon, she arrived in Kelsington.
Amber got out of the car after paying for the taxi fee and pulled her suitcase into the apartment building. She was about to take a shower and get some rest.
However, as she put down her suitcase and sat down, the doorbell rang.
"Who is it?" Amber furrowed her brows and pushed herself up with the support of the sofa armrest. She walked towards the entrance and opened the door.
It was Hayden. He stood half bent with his hands on his knees. He was panting heavily and looked exhausted.
Amber looked at him in astonishment. "Are you running upstairs?"
He shook his head and opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something.
However, his mind was messy because he was tired. Hayden couldn't say anything but stomped his feet anxiously.
Amber was confused when she saw this. She pressed her hands up and down in the air to comfort him, "Alright, you should rest for a while."
Hayden looked at her and nodded. Then, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
After a while, he finally calmed down and stand up straight. "Amber, are you alright?"
"What?" Amber tilted her head. "What did I do? Why are you asking?"
"I heard that you and Jared fell off the cliff." Hayden looked at her from head to toe to check if she was injured.
Amber finally understood that he was asking her about her health. She shook her head slightly. "I'm fine, but where did you hear that?"
Cole and Ben had kept it a secret, so how did Hayden know about it?
