Downstairs, Amber finally recovered from her daze. She stood up and glared at Hayden. "What are you doing?"
Hayden did not expect her to act so harshly. His eyes flashed for a moment before he retracted his hand. "Help you wipe the cream."
Afraid that she would not believe him, he handed the tissue to her and gestured for her to take a look.
Seeing that there was indeed a bit of cream on it, Amber knew that she had misunderstood. She calmed down and sat back. "Oh, sorry, I thought you..."
"You thought I took advantage of you?" Hayden giggled.
"Anyway, don't be like this in the future. It's easy for people to misunderstand. Just remind me next time. I'll do it myself."
"It's just a piece of cake. No one will misunderstand. But since you insist, okay." Hayden shrugged and agreed.
Only he knew how regretful he felt.
He thought of using occasional intimate actions to touch her heart.
Unexpectedly, she was so vigilant and attentive that she didn't give him any chance to be intimate.
It seemed that if he wanted to pursue her, he had to take it slow.
Hayden shook his head with a forced smile.
An hour later, the two of them finished their meal.
Amber paid the bill and packed two servings of strawberry cakes, preparing to go back.
As soon as she walked out of the restaurant, she felt a blast of chilling wind. She couldn't help but sneeze and even tremble.
Seeing this, Hayden quickly asked, "Cold?"
"A little." Amber replied, then looked up at the sky.
There was not a single star in the sky, and even moon was nowhere to be seen. It was so dark that it made one feel depressed. It seemed that it was going to rain.
Just as she was thinking about it, Amber suddenly felt a weight on her shoulder.
She quickly looked down and found that there was a coat on her shoulder.
The coat looked very familiar, and it was Hayden who was wearing them.
Amber turned to look at the man beside her. Sure enough, the man's coat was gone, leaving only a shirt and a knitted vest. She asked in surprise, "Why did you give me the coat?"
"Aren't you cold? I am a man. This is what I should do," Hayden chuckled.
"I don't want you to catch a cold because of me. You'd better take this back and put it on."
As she spoke, she took off the coat and was about to return it to Hayden.
However, Hayden forcefully put it back on her shoulder. In order to prevent her from taking it off again, he even pressed down on her shoulders. "Alright, listen to me. Put it on. I am a grown man. I'm not that fragile."
"But..."
Just as Amber pursed her lips and was about to say something, a gloomy and cold male voice sounded from behind her, "Excuse me... Can you move aside? You guys are blocking the way."
This voice was...
Amber widened her eyes and looked back. She saw Jared and Ben standing not far away, looking at them expressionlessly.
It was indeed Jared.
Why was he here?
Wasn't he still in the hospital?
It was natural to wonder. Hayden smiled and looked at Jared, "Jared, good evening. What a coincidence that you are also eating here! But weren't you in the hospital? Why did you suddenly come out?"
Jared did not speak. His gloomy eyes fell on Amber's shoulder.
Amber sensed it and subconsciously shook Hayden's hand off her shoulder. At the same time, she took the coat off and threw it back into his arms. Looking at Jared, she said, "This... this coat is..."
"Amber, you have nothing to do with him. You don't have to explain anything." Hayden narrowed his eyes slightly at Amber, as if he wanted to see something fishy from her face.
Amber got stunned at his words, but then she reacted, her expression somewhat ugly.
Yes, she had nothing to do with Jared, so whatever she did had nothing to do with him.
But why did she explain to him the coat she was wearing?
Was she crazy?
