"Yes!" Jared nodded.
"That's more like it." "That's more like it." Only then was Amber satisfied.
Jared chuckled.
Suddenly, Amber thought of something, and a light flashed in her eyes. Then, she looked at Jared with a half-smile. "Don't you want to know about the woman who caused the car accident?"
Jared frowned." Why should I know about her?"
"Because she's also in this accident." Amber continued to stare at him.
Jared's eyebrows twitched as he had a bad feeling.
She seemed to be plotting something.
"I'll leave it to Ben," Jared said blandly, "He'll deal with it no matter whether she offers the compensation or wants to go through the legal process."
She was just a person who had run a red light.
He wouldn't take revenge on that woman like he was dealing with his enemies, but he wouldn't be so kind as to refuse any compensation.
"Well, yes, but I don't think Ben can handle it," Amber said playfully.
Jared's frown deepened. "What do you mean?"
Amber didn't want to talk in riddles anymore. She looked at him resentfully and answered, "I mean that woman fell in love with you."
"What?" Jared was stunned.
Amber rolled her eyes, pulled his ear, and lifted her voice. "That woman has a crush on you. How do you feel? Are you happy to know it?"
Jared was utterly dumbfounded. After a while, he twitched the corners of his mouth. "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"It's true." Amber pursed her lips. "That woman indeed has a crush on you."
Seeing Amber's unhappy face, Jared stretched out to pinch her cheek gently. "Alright, don't talk nonsense. Do you think that I let Ben bump into the side of the road because I saw a woman sitting in that car? So, you said it on purpose just to test me?"
Amber burst into laughter at his words. "Who's testing you? I don't have the leisure to do that. I'm telling the truth."
She said with a trace of jealousy but also seriously.
Jared's face darkened as he realized that she wasn't joking. Then his mouth pressed into a thin and hard line. "That woman..."
Before he could finish, Amber suddenly added, "That's understandable. You're handsome and rich. If that woman doesn't have any interest in you, it would be strange. Be confident with your charm, Mr. Farrell."
Jared chuckled softly, then fondly looked at her. "I'll only turn on my charm to you."
Amber sneered. "I don't believe you. Then why does that woman have a crush on you? And why do Braylee and other young girls like you? What about those people who called you husband on the Internet?"
Jared was lost for words. After a while, he replied, "Maybe they're blind."
Amber didn't expect him to say so and couldn't help but laugh loudly.
Seeing her laughing widely, Jared knew she wasn't angry anymore and breathed a silent sigh of relief.
A minute later, Amber finally stopped laughing. She wiped the tears from her eyes and looked at Jared. "I didn't expect to hear your self-mocking. But I'm quite happy to hear that. I'll forgive you this time."
Jared also laughed. "Thank you, Your Majesty."
