Jared took her by the hand and walked back to the rest area, “You’re so smart, my Little Leaf. After I learned that you had ordered a blue dress, I chose a set of blue jewelry from my mother’s jewelry to match your dress. But I didn’t expect that to happen, so instead of giving you the jewelry, I chose this one again.”
“When did you do that?” Amber walked beside him.
Jared turned very serious, “The day that Alice ruined the dress. Didn’t I go to the Farrell’s Mansion that day?”
Amber suddenly understood and looked at him, “So you went to the Farrell’s Mansion to get the jewelry?”
“That’s right.” Jared lifted his chin a little bit.
“That box you brought home that night, that’s the jewelry you took?” she asked.
Jared nodded, “Yeah, I was gonna surprise you, but after what happened, I didn’t give you the jewelry.”
“That’s fine.” A look of coolness passed through Amber’s eyes, “If you had given it to me, it would have made me feel worse. You trusted me enough to let me help you bring your dress back. You went to help me with my jewelry, and I betrayed your trust by not even taking care of the dress.”
Jared stopped dead in his tracks, then turned around and lifted her chin.
Looking at his furrowed brow and disapproving expression, Amber blinked and asked, “What’s wrong?”
“Don’t say that about yourself.” Jared said, “You didn’t betray my trust, and you got the dress out of the store. It’s not your fault that the dress was ruined. After all, there’s nothing you can do to stop someone from doing something bad, so don’t blame yourself.”
He said, rubbing his thumb against her lip.
Amber glared at him and slapped his hand away.
Jared chuckled, “There you go. You’re alive.”
Amber was stunned, “So you’re taking advantage of me to make me stop feeling ashamed?”
“Yeah.” Jared nodded, “You’re sensitive, and consoling won’t get you out of shame quickly, so it’s better to make you angry directly so you don’t keep dwelling on it.”
“Well, you’re so…” Amber was about to say something about the man, but before she did, she laughed.
She could not help it.
He tried to make her happy, and she was trying to scold him.
Wasn’t there something ungrateful about her behavior?
“You finally smiled.” Jared pinched the soft flesh of her face, “You’re better for smiling than frowning, and my Little Leaf has the best smile.”
“I know it already.” Amber blushed and snorted, then pulled her hand out of his and strode forward.
Jared stood watching her as she sped away in embarrassment, then let out a little indulging chuckle and walked off with his long legs.
Sophia and her assistant had been waiting for them in the rest area.
When they came back, they put down their coffee and snacks and stood up.
“Mr. Farrell, Miss Amber, so you’re back.” Sophia said with a smile.
Amber smiled back.
Sophia asked, “Miss Amber, Mr. Farrell, what do you think of the dress? Is there anything that needs to be changed?”
Amber shook her head, “I think it’s great. There’s nothing to change, but what do you think?”
She turned to the man next to her for advice.
The guy was easily jealous, after all.
The dress didn’t reveal much, but it did show a lot of legs and shoulders.
So, there was a good chance this guy wouldn’t like the dress and wanted to change it.
Although he had no problem with her dressing like that at the moment and said she was beautiful.
