Hypnotizing Love novel Chapter 552

Amber felt warm because of Mrs. Lyon's understanding and consideration. "Thank you, auntie."

"Why apologized? You did nothing wrong, Amber." Mrs. Lyon took a sip of coffee and added, "The fault is on me and Cole's father."

"What?" Amber was taken aback, confused.

Mrs. Lyon rubbed between her eyebrows. "Cole's father and I had treated him too strictly when he was young, so he had seldom made his own decisions. Now, Cole lacks courage in many things, either in his private life or at work."

She took a sip of the coffee and heaved a sigh. "I wonder if we had treated him less strictly and let him make his own decisions, probably, Cole would have become braver. He might have confessed his love to you after realizing his feelings."

Amber pouted a bit in silence.

Mrs. Lyon looked at her. "Amber, tell me honestly. If Cole confessed to you several years ago, would you be with him?"

Amber was shocked by this question. After a long while, she parted her lips and answered, "I don't know. If he had confessed to me before I met Jared Farrell, I would probably say yes."

After all, she hadn't taken Cole as her best friend yet at that time. Probably, she would fall in love with him.

Upon hearing her answer, Mrs. Lyon shook her head in regret and was disappointed in Cole. "Sure enough, Cole is too useless. He has missed the chance."

Like what Amber said, if he could have confessed to her, Mrs. Lyon believed they would probably be together.

However, Cole lacked courage.

"I see." Mrs. Lyon smiled bitterly. "You and Cole can't be together for sure, right?"

Amber nodded and hummed. "I'm sorry, Auntie. I've never thought of being with Cole."

"Okay. I got it." Mrs. Lyon stirred the coffee. "I asked you out today because I wanted to know if you guys could possibly be together. I would beg you to give Cole a chance shamelessly if there was still a possibility. If not, I would go home and convince him to let go. Otherwise, there'll also be pressure on you."

"Thank you, Auntie..." Amber felt touched, tears welling up in her eyes.

Mrs. Lyon patted the back of her hand dearly. "Don't mention it, Amber. I'm doing it not for you only but also for Cole. You don't like him. If I force you to be with him, he won't be happy. Hence, I'd rather convince him to let go."

"You are right." Amber nodded.

They chitchatted for almost an hour in the cafe.

Later, Mrs. Lyon received a call from her friend, inviting her to do a spa in a beauty salon. She bid Amber farewell and left the cafe.

Amber walked her out to the roadside. She watched Mrs. Lyon sit in the car and return to the cafe to pay the bill.

Then, Amber planned to return to the company.

Right after she left the cafe, she received Jared's call.

"Hello, Mr. Farrell?" Amber answered while walking to her car.

Upon hearing the way how she addressed him, Jared frowned.

Instantly, she distanced herself from him.

He decided to let her change it later.

"The bodyguards told me Mrs. Lyon had a meeting with you," Jared said, standing in front of the French window of his office, peering out the prosperous city outside.

Amber frowned. "Mr. Farrell, are those two bodyguards spying me under your instruction?"

Jared could tell she was unhappy from her tone. Only then did he realize that his words made her misunderstand. He explained. "I didn't ask them to spy on you. They won't report anything to me no matter what you do except if the matter is related to your safety."

"My safety?" Amber opened the door next to the driver's seat and sat in. She closed the door and said unhappily, "I came out to meet Auntie. Why is it related to my safety?"

"Don't forget you've almost broken up with Cole Lyon. I was worried she would make trouble to you for her son." Jared turned around and walked to his desk.

Now Amber understood what he meant by her safety.
