"I know." Jared reached out and hooked his arm around her back and gently swept her into his arms, "But my heart hurts, and I even regret it."
"Regret what?" Amber looked up at him with some confusion.
The man rubbed his forehead against hers, "I regret that I didn't appear in front of you to protect you back then. If I had shown up at the beginning, after seeing your letter saying that Braylee's mother and she were bullying you, you certainly wouldn't have gone through all this."
There will not be a Makenna to mess up between them, and then they will be together, get married, and have children...
Amber saw the man's face full of self-blame, and could not help but reach out, cupped his face, squeezed slightly harder, "Hey, no need to apologize. It's not your fault. You were often hospitalized at those times because of your heart. You couldn't run around. Plus, I was only bullied by Beatrice and Braylee for a while, but since they were discovered by dad, they didn't dare to bully me anymore. So my childhood was actually quite happy."
Jared took her hands off his face, "But I still feel like I missed out on a lot."
Amber laughed a little, "Since you feel like you missed out on so much, you should be doubly nice to me in the future."
"I will." Jared's eyes lit up for a moment, and then he swept her into his arms and hugged her tighter as if he wanted to be as one with her
Amber felt a bit uncomfortable, but she understood his mood at the moment, so she didn't say anything to stop him.
No big deal, she just had to put up with it.
"By the way, do you want to know Beatrice's whereabouts?" Suddenly thinking of something, Jared let go of Amber a little, looked down at her, and asked.
Amber raised an eyebrow, "Beatrice?"
"Hmm."
Amber's lips twitched, "When Braylee first came back to Olkmore, I wondered why she came back alone, not accompanied by Beatrice. And the last time I went to Country K, I only saw Braylee, not Beatrice. I figured that Beatrice probably has passed away. "
"No, she didn't pass away." Jared shook his head slightly.
Amber was surprised, "Not dead?"
"Yes." Jared nodded.
Amber sneered, "Wow, she lives a long life. Six years ago, she was diagnosed with early-stage cancer, now six years have passed, I thought she must be very ill or probably dead, but I didn't expect that she was still alive."
"She went to jail." Jared threw out a depth charge.
"What?" Amber first froze, then her body immediately tensed up, "Jail? What's she in jail for?"
Was it the poisoning of Dad?
No, no, no, I don't think so.
Dad's poisoning happened in Olkmore, and foreign police would not care.
Plus, Braylee also took part in Dad's poisoning, if it is really because of this matter, there's no reason for Braylee to still be free.
"It's manslaughter." Jared fixed Amber's hair, slightly opened thin lips, and replied: "Braylee and her mother left Olkmore, went to the Country A, and became the citizens there. These two, with the money they took from Goldstone, they enjoyed two years of happy life there. But due to the lack of income, the money was quickly running out, and the two of them didn't have any work skill, so..."
"You're saying is that they are selling themselves?" Amber asked her face full of disgust.
Jared nodded, "Something like that, they went to the nightclub, ready to meet some rich people there, so that they don't have to worry about money. Braylee was young, so there were naturally a lot of people that liked her. Soon she caught the attention of a rich boy. Beatrice was older, but her charm was still there. A lot of people would like her type. An old man took a liking to her, and he secretly took her as mistress, and even was ready to divorce his wife for her."
