What's more, she was also depressed, as if she had experienced something that made her feel heavy and unable to cheer up.
"What's wrong?" Jared sat down next to Amber, grabbed her shoulders, and shook her slightly. "Is there anything wrong?"
Amber finally came to her senses after being shaken by the man.
Her eyes flashed, and her dim pupils finally returned to bright.
"You are back?" She looked at the man and asked with a smile.
Jared replied, "I'm back. Why don't you go to bed at this late hour? Why don't you turn on the light? Is there anything wrong?"
The man's series of questions made Amber shake her head and sigh, "nothing happened."
Obviously, Jared didn't believe her. He pursed his lips and said, "nothing happened? How could you be like this?"
Amber didn't say anything.
She knew she couldn't hide it from this man.
"Tell me, what happened?" Jared touched her hair and said with concern, "don't hide it from me. You know I'll be worried."
Amber felt warm in her heart, and she was finally relieved. She bent down and leaned her head on Jared's shoulder. "More than an hour ago, I met Trenton and his wife."
Jared stopped stroking her hair. "Trenton and his wife? "
"Yes."
"Where did you meet them?"
"I went to a pastry shop nearby to buy some food after I visit dad. When I was waiting for packing, Trenton and his wife also went in." Said Amber.
Jared frowned and asked, "did they bully you?"
"No." Amber shook her head and said, "We just argued a few words verbally as usual, but..."
"But what?" Jared's heart tightened.
Amber raised her hand and said, "Mrs. Gardner saw the scar on my hand and suddenly looked weird. She held my hand and asked me how it came. And before the scar appeared, is there anything else on my wrist? What do you think..."
Before she finished her words, Jared's face changed slightly.
His hand on her waist suddenly tightened, and his Adam's Apple moved. He asked in a serious voice, "did you tell her?"
"What?" Amber looked up at him and asked, "what?"
"I mean, you tell her how the scar came from, and there was something on your wrist before the scar appeared?" Jared lowered his eyes and said in a strange tone.
Amber shook her head and replied, "No. I don't know why Mrs. Gardner asked this question. I don't know if there is a trap, so I didn't tell her. I just made up a random excuse to muddle through."
Jared stared at her for a while and found that she was not lying. He breathed a sigh of relief and felt a little relieved.
"That's good." Jared held Amber's waist tightly.
Amber squinted, "why do I feel that you seem to be very nervous? Are you afraid that I will tell these to Mrs. Gardner?"
She looked at him.
Jared's eyes flashed, but soon he regained his composure and replied calmly, "no, as you just said, you didn't tell Mrs. Gardner about it because you were afraid that Mrs. Gardner would have a plot, and so did I. So I don't want you to be so stupid to tell everything directly. If there is really a trap, I can't help you because I was not with you."
As he spoke, he poked her forehead.
