Hypnotizing Love novel Chapter 786

Jared could tell from her expression that Amber was upset, so peeling the shell off, he put a shrimp on her plate and said, “You haven’t had seafood for a long time. Just help yourself and enjoy the food. From now on, if you want someone to eat seafood with you, I will be the one, at any time you like.”

What Jared said moved Amber, and she nodded with a smile on her face. “I see. Don’t you break your promise when you are busy.”

“I won’t,” Jared said, shaking his head, “I will eat with you even if I am working on files or holding a meeting if you think that’s alright for you.”

“What?” Hearing his description, Amber couldn’t help but laugh. “How can you eat seafood with me when you are working on files or holding a meeting. You are kidding me.” She found it amusing to imagine Jared sitting in the meeting room with a plate of seafood on his desk, peeling the shell of the shrimp, yet continuing to talk about the topic of the meeting to hundreds of employees below. How ridiculous!

Amber laughed so hard that her face turned red, and Jared reminded her, “Hey, I know it’s funny but don’t laugh so hard or you will be choked on your laugh.”

Amber nodded, “Okay, okay.” Then she took in a deep breath to calm herself down.

Picking a crab and putting it on his plate, Jared said, “Do you feel happier now?”

Raising her eyebrow, Amber said, “So what you said about eating seafood at a meeting was to make me happy?”

“Yeah.” Jared put on gloves and opened a box with crab-cracking tools in it.

Amber was touched and she said, “I am happier for sure. Your joke is so amusing and I have laughed so hard. But I have never expected you to coax me.”

“You are my lover and I want you to be happy for sure or who do you expect me to coax?” Jared glanced at her and said softly before lowering his head to crack the crab.

It was the first time Amber saw Jared cracking a crab. It was hard work and often ended up in a mess. Many celebrities in the entertainment business even considered it something vulgar. So, the crabs they ate were already cracked and prepared by others, and in this way, they would save themselves from the labor and the risk of being vulgar which would possibly make them laughingstocks.

Even Amber, when she was invited to dine, would not crack the crab herself; only when she was eating on her own or with Cole would she do it. Therefore, she thought Jared would not do this kind of work. But it turned out he was doing it right now and even doing it in such a clean manner that Amber thought it nearly graceful. She couldn’t help but fix her eyes on him.

It was incredible that Jared could do something so elegantly, which celebrities in the show business would give up without hesitation. The expression in Amber’s eyes turned into admiration.

Knowing Amber was staring at him, Jared raised his head to look at her. Noticing the admiration in her eyes, he was secretly pleased but didn’t say anything and kept handling the crab with a faster movement. A few minutes later, the big crab was taken apart with all the meat and roe being stacked into the shell of its head. The shell was filled with yellow roe and white meat, and it looked so delicious that nobody could resist the temptation to scoop up a spoonful of the meat and have a tasty mouthful. That must be a bite of delicacy.

Amber swallowed at the tempting crab but managed to look away from it; if she kept staring at it, she was afraid she would grab the crab onto her plate and finish it, so she decided to crack one herself.
