"You made it so mysterious." Lady Georgia took a sip of the tea. "Since you said so, I'll stop asking. I know Amber hasn't realized that she loves you again. I wanted to make it clear to her, but you stopped me. Why?"
"Because it wasn't the good timing." Jared leaned against the chair back. "Amber hasn't realized her love for me yet. If we made it clear to her, she wouldn't accept me for sure. Possibly, she would hate me more and resist the feeling. Hence, I want her to find it herself, and naturally, she'll accept the fact."
If Amber was told by others, it would spoil her crush on him by excessive enthusiasm.
She would escape and dodge him because she couldn't accept it.
Hence, the best way was to let Amber think it through, so she would be more likely to accept him again.
Georgia nodded thoughtfully. "Your words made sense. Forget it. Since you've decided so, do as you want. I hope you can marry Amber as soon as possible. You don't need to worry about Shonna. I'll stop her from making trouble."
Talking about Shonna, she looked annoyed.
If Shonna hadn't raised Jared and been Logan's birth mother, Georgia would have already kicked her out of the Farrell family.
Shonna could do nothing but make trouble.
"I will, Grandma. Thanks for keeping an eye on Mom." Jared stood up, bowing at Georgia.
Georgia waved her hand to hint at him to sit down. When she was about to speak, she saw Ben take Amber over.
Georgia smiled. "Amber, here you came."
Jared hurriedly turned around. Sure enough, he saw Amber.
Amber didn't expect to see Jared here coincidentally. A hint of surprise flashed through her face. Then she drifted her gaze from him and faked not seeing him. With a smile, she greeted Georgia, "Good evening, Grandma."
"Take a seat, Amber." Georgia patted the chair next to her.
Amber shook her head. "No, thanks, Grandma. I came to say bye to you. It's too late now. I must go home."
"I see. Sure. Please go ahead." Georgia knew it was late, and Amber needed to go to work the following day. Hence, she couldn't let her stay. Pressing her walking stick, Georgia stood up. "You drank some wine. I'll ask Jared to drive you home."
What?
Amber immediately refused, "No, thanks, Grandma. I can call a designated driver. He drank wine too. He can't drive tonight."
Jared scowled at her and said, "Ben didn't drink any alcohol.
He can send us home."
“Us?" Amber was taken aback.
Jared put down his teacup and stood up. "Grandpa, I must go home now too. Ben can drive, and he get to be home earlier as
well."
“All right. You guys can go together." Georgia rolled her eyes at him.
She knew he just wanted to go with Amber.
It was not bad, though, as it was her initial plan.
After all, she also asked him to drive Amber home.
“Well... I don’t need to go with you. I can..."
Before Amber finished her words, Georgia patted her on the back of her hand. "All right, Amber. Go ahead. I'll be relieved if
Jared sends you home. I don't trust the designated drivers.”
Then Georgia looked over at Jared and warned him solemnly, “Jared, make sure Amber arrives home safe and sound. If
anything happens, I won't let go of you.”
“Okay, Grandma." Jared nodded.
Amber smiled bitterly.
After taking a few steps, she heard Georgia's jest behind. "Look at Amber and Jared. Don't they look like a married couple?"
“Yes, they do," Mrs. Murphy smiled.
“Let me take your hand. The pavement in this garden is all covered with pebbles. You can't walk stably on high heels here. It's
easy to fall," said Jared in a low voice.
Jared could feel that she had stopped resisting, so he understood her acquiescence. He chuckled and held her hand tighter.
Then he put it in the pocket of his suit jacket.
