Now, she got back with Jared. She lost more than just a fetus. It was their baby!
So, her heart was riven with deep sorrow at thought of that child.
She regretted not being able to protect that child.
Would she carry a big belly now if she didn't lose the baby?
Amber lowered her head and touched her belly dispiritedly.
Jared put down his chopsticks. "What's wrong?"
Amber's eyelids flickered as she shook her head. "I'm fine."
Jared narrowed his eyes suspiciously.
Obviously, she was experiencing a wild mood swing.
Elias must say something to stir her emotion.
Whatever Jared was thinking, Amber took a deep breath to calm herself down. She then said to the other end of the phone, "Dr. Lansdale, actually, I'm not Hugo's biological daughter, so my child will never be the real Reeds. Only Braylee can do this."
"I see," Elias took a tumble, "So that's how it is."
He thought Amber just wanted her sister to give birth to a baby for her.
Elias was going to tell Amber that she could wait two years to get pregnant.
Now, this didn't seem to help.
"So, you still want to impregnate Braylee like I mentioned last time?" Elias leaned back and asked casually.
Amber nodded. "Right. I was going to call you, but you called first."
"Alright, I'll work with the gynecologist to help Braylee get pregnant as soon as possible. Do you have any idea of the baby's father?" Elias asked again.
Amber shook her head. "I haven't made my decision. I originally plan to pick up an outstanding donor sperm from overseas after the egg retrieval. But now, this won't work. So, let's wait until she gets pregnant."
There was no need to rush.
Elias raised his chin. "Fine."
After that, they talked about how to settle Braylee before hanging up.
Jared refilled her cup with hot milk. "Drink this."
Amber put down her phone and took the milk.
Her palm gradually warmed with the milk. She smiled at Jared. "Thank you."
"Let's eat. You're busy with the phone." Jared said in a sour tone.
Although Elias didn't pursue Amber, he had been taking too much of her time.
It had been so long since Jared started to be critical of him.
Amber knew he was jealous of Elias, but she only shook her head in amusement.
Then, she put a slice of bread on his plate after scanning around the table.
Jared looked down at the bread and then at Amber. His eyes glinted with joy.
She was putting food on his plate!
"How about now?" Amber propped her head up, looking at the man.
The man shook his head and took a bite. "Better."
He admitted that he was jealous.
As Jared felt better, she gently smiled and continued eating.
After dinner, Amber cleaned the table.
Jared rested on the sofa. He took out his phone and texted Elias. "What did you say to Amber? She's weird."
