Hayden had planned to tell Amber that he loved her after handling the matters at hand. Yet now, he was deprived of the chance.
Amber felt puzzled at the silence from the other side of the call. "Are you still there, Hayden?"
"Yes..." answered Hayden, depressed.
Amber blinked her eyes, "What's wrong? Are you sick?"
"Yes, I am." Hayden looked up at the ceiling with blank eyes. "I suddenly have a heartache."
This was the first time that he tasted love. It was the first time that he fell in love with someone.
However, he didn't even get the chance to start a relationship with that person.
Was there anyone more miserable than him in the world?
Well, there might be.
Hayden squint, Cole.
Cole had secretly loved Amber for at least ten years, and Hayden knew that.
Cole wasn't brave enough to confess to Amber. So, he watched Amber fall in love with and marry another man.
It was the second time that Cole shall witness Amber fall in love with another man. And it was the same man as the first time.
Undoubtedly, Cole was more miserable than Hayden.
Thinking of this, Hayden felt better.
"What? Heartache?" Amber didn't know that Hayden meant something else. She thought he was having a heart attack. "Call a doctor then! Quickly!" Amber said with concern.
"Can't do that." Hayden waved his hand with a wry smile. "Doctors can't cure my disease."
"Why?" Amber was puzzled.
Hayden was silent for a few seconds. He didn't answer but instead asked, "Amber, I want to know, are you serious about getting back together with Jared? Is it a deliberate decision? "
Amber didn't know why Hayden changed the topic to this. Still, she nodded and answered, "Yes, it is. If I didn't fall in love with him again, no matter how many times he had saved me, I won't come back to him. However, I love him. And he changed. So, I want to give it a try. And this is the first step."
"What if it is a wrong step?" Hayden clenched his phone and asked, "You know, Shonna is not easy to get along with."
Amber lowered her eyes and smiled. "I know that Shonna is not easy to get along with, and I don't intend to live under the same roof with Shonna in the future. Jared seems to have the same plan, so Shonna is not a problem. As for whether this step I took was wrong, to be honest, I don't know. Getting back together with Jared is a gamble. If I win, everything is good. If I lose, I'll focus on my career from then on and never love again."
Hayden smiled helplessly, "you've even figured out the way after losing the bet. It seems that you've thought it over. As for why can't the doctor treat my disease, I won't answer."
Since Amber got back together with Jared, Hayden didn't intend to let her know that he liked her.
It would make her feel stressed and embarrassed. And made it weird when they meet again.
This was Hayden. He knew that he got no chance, so he wouldn't disturb.
Otherwise, instead of looking affectionate, he would bring her troubles.
Although Hayden's remarks were a bit strange, Amber vaguely understood something.
This feeling was exactly the same as when she knew how Cole felt about her.
So, Hayden...
Amber bit her lip and felt a strong sense of guilt.
She didn't know what was the things good about her. Why did they all like her?
She couldn't accept any of their love. She felt sorry and guilty for that.
"Hayden..." Amber wanted to say something.
