Upon hearing her answer, Jared slightly nodded in agreement. "You are right, Amber."
Amber smiled. She added, "Even if I find them, how am I supposed to get along with them? We can't be a real family as we don't have family affection for each other. It would feel awkward to be with them. It's not suitable to be their relatives. After all, they are my biological parents. I'd rather not look for them to avoid being in such a dilemma. The best way is to remain the current status."
She didn't tell Jared another point.
Probably, her parents had passed away.
"Right. It's the best that you don't look for them or think about them." Jared nodded.
Honestly speaking, he breathed a sigh of relief after hearing that Amber wouldn't look for her biological parents.
If she insisted on looking for them, she would know that her parents were the Gardner couple no matter how much Jared tried to stop her. In that case, he couldn't imagine what would happen to her.
Hence, the best for her was not to look for her biological parents. In this case, she wouldn't become curious about her identity. Also, Jared wished that she would never know her biological parents were the Gardner couple.
"Yeah. I was upset when knowing I had been adopted by my parents. Then I calmed down. I knew I had become the daughter of the Reed family as soon as I became part of the family. No matter why my biological parents had dumped me, our fate had ended as soon as I appeared in the orphanage," said Amber.
"It's good that you can think this way." Jared nodded.
Amber rubbed between her eyebrows. "Anyway, my parents and I are not blood-related."
"That's why you want Braylee Reed to have a child, right? You want the Reed family to have the later generation with their real blood, right?" Jared roughly figured out what Amber's plan was.
Amber smiled bitterly. "Yes, you are right. That's my plan. Although Braylee has drugged Dad, she's his biological daughter and the only one. I'll make her pay the price, but I will also let the Reed family continue."
"Braylee will go to jail for sure in the future. Will you raise that child yourself?" Jared looked at her.
Amber nodded. "Right. I will. I won't raise the child for Braylee Reed. Instead, I will raise an heir for the Reed family. I'll bring him up and educate him, so he won't be like his mother. After he grows up, I'll let him inherit Goldstone. That's the only way I can think of to return my parents' favor to raise me."
If Amber were the biological daughter of the Reed couple, she wouldn't do it.
However, she wasn't. Braylee was.
Hence, she could only let Braylee give birth to continue the Reed family.
"I understand, Amber. Do whatever you want. I'll bring him up with you," said Jared gently.
Amber sat upright. "Don't you think my plan is too unacceptable?"
After all, not all people had such a plan to return the favor.
"No. I can accept it." Jared shook his head. "As long as you think it's the right way, you should do it boldly. No matter what you'll do, I'll be with you."
Besides, it would be just a child. He was generous to accept it.
Besides, it wasn't a child of Amber and another man.
"Thank you, Jared." Amber felt warm when receiving his encouragement. She also felt touched. Tenderness was written all over her face.
"Don't mention it, Amber. In the future, we'll be one. Hence, I'll support you no matter what." Jared reached out to toss the hair next to her ear. "But, you can't let Braylee Reed get pregnant naturally."
"I know," Amber answered. She said solemnly, "She won't be willing to get pregnant obediently. She might even abort the baby if she really has one. Hence, I don't plan to make her pregnant. I only need her genes."
With her genes, she could find a professional institute abroad. In ten months, she would have Braylee's baby.
"That's good. Do you need my help?" Jared asked, putting a peeled shrimp into her bowl.
Amber shook her head. "No, thanks. I can handle it myself."
"Okay. If you need any help, just let me know. We'll reconcile soon, Amber. Right?" Jared looked at her solemnly, putting down his chopsticks.
Amber looked into his eyes, which were full of expectation. She nodded finally. "All right. I'll tell you if I need any help."
"Okay." Jared smiled.
After they finished dinner, it was almost eight in the evening.
Jared drove Amber back to Kelsington Bay.
Then he followed her enter the apartment.
