“Wow…” When Amber heard this, she lifted her head from the man’s shoulder and looked at his beautiful face.
But soon, she shook her head no, “I’d rather not. Maybe she’ll be here soon.”
“What if she won’t?” Jared looked at her and asked.
Amber glared at him, “You’re being ridiculous.”
“No, I wasn’t. That’s another possibility, isn’t it?” Jared looked serious, “So, none of us know for sure which possibility Alice is going to have, and if it’s my possibility, do you really think you can stick with it? Don’t you feel dizzy?”
This left Amber speechless.
Dizzy, of course she was dizzy.
She was so sleepy that her head was a little dizzy now.
Watching her eyes blink and close, Jared sighed and grabbed her by the shoulder again, pulling her into his arms. Finally, he had her lying half on her side in his lap, “Take a nap, no matter when she comes, take the time to sleep, otherwise how can you face her later? If you are not in good spirits, you will lose your attitude to her.”
Amber nodded thoughtfully, “What you said is very reasonable, and successfully convinced me, ok, I will sleep for a while, but when she arrives, remember to wake me up.”
“Okay.” Jared nodded, “You can sleep in peace with me here.”
This made Amber feel safe. She closed her eyes, smiled at him, and said softly, “Okay, I’ll get some sleep, but aren’t you sleepy?”
“No.” Jared touched her long silky hair and gently answered, “As I said, staying up late for two days in a row isn’t a problem for me. And it hasn’t been that long now.”
“Okay, you’re good. I can’t do that. Just wake me up.”
Amber yawned again and closed her eyes.
Soon, she was breathing peacefully and long.
Jared looked down at her, stroked her smooth face with the back of his hand and smiled.
She went to sleep so soon!
Jared freed up one hand, reached for the phone, clicked it twice, and quickly put it down again.
Moments later, the break room door was opened and a policewoman came in carrying a stuffed blanket and whispered to Jared, “Mr. Farrell, here’s your blanket.”
Jared didn’t answer, he just held out his hand.
Seeing that, the policewoman sneaked over to Jared and stopped just short of him to hand him the blanket.
After receiving the blanket, Jared nodded his thanks to the policewoman.
The policewoman smiled and waved her hands. She looked at Amber admiringly as she slept on Jared’s lap. Then she turned and walked out again.
When she was out, she closed the door again very quietly.
Apparently, Jared had asked the policewoman to be gentle so as not to wake Amber.
Jared didn’t see how the policewoman left. He took the blanket, gently unrolled it, and put it over Amber.
Sensing something, Amber moved uncomfortably.
Jared thought he had woken her up when he put the blanket on her and put his hands on her back, patting her like a baby.
Soon, Amber became quiet again.
But Jared didn’t take his hands off her and continued to pat her on the back.
After an unknown amount of time, a knock on the lounge door stopped him, but he did not remove his hand from Amber’s back.
Presumably knowing Jared wasn’t going to answer, they knocked twice and opened the door.
It was the policewoman from before.
The policewoman stood outside the door, just poking her head in, “Mr. Farrell, the Lady Alice has arrived.”
Jared’s face went cold at the name and there was a flash of cold light in his eyes that lasted only a moment. Then he nodded lightly, “Got it. I’ll be out soon.”
“Okay.” The policewoman smiled and stuck her head out.
In the break room, Jared looked down at the woman who was still asleep in his arms. He looked very solemn and he seemed to be wondering if he should wake her up.
