Love Letters, Divorce Papers (Jared and Amber) novel Chapter 52

That day, Logan treated Amber and Hayden to a lavish meal. In fact, he was still proud when they made their way back to their home.

After all, he had signed a try-out contract, and both Hayden and Amber would keep this a secret for him temporarily. Once he had passed the test and officially joined the national basketball team, he didn't need to be afraid of Jared being angry anymore!

At this thought, Logan started humming a song and changed his shoes before heading inside the house.

However, he was not prepared to see Jared sitting on the sofa. The latter was wearing casual clothes as he leaned on the couch and smoked with a relaxed expression.

"Oh, god! Jared!" Logan was shocked, and then he started stammering, "Why… why did you come back so early? Isn't Makenna still in the hospital? You're supposed to accompany her?"

Jared ignored his question and glanced at Logan briefly before asking, "Have you eaten?"

"Yeah."

"Come here then," Jared said as he put out his cigarette using the ashtray. "We need to talk."

After hearing this, Logan was immediately scared.

Fuck! Did Makenna tell Jared how Logan wanted to take the test to be part of the national basketball team?

At this thought, Logan hugged his bag and made his way over to where Jared was sitting timidly before sitting down on the corner of the couch. He tensed his body before saying, "Jared, it's all my fault…"

After all, if he admitted his mistake first, Jared would only punish him by making him kneel. That would be better than he looking for Amber and blaming her instead.

"Look, if you want to play basketball, you can go ahead."

In the end, he had managed to say a few words when Jared cut him off.

Logan was stunned, and he even thought that he had misheard it, so he stammered, "Jared, are… are you letting me play basketball?"

"Yeah, that's right," Jared replied plainly, "You can do anything you like, and I won't stop you. That includes playing basketball as well. Also, I'll tell our mother about this, so don't worry about her."

That night, when Jared returned home, he had rewatched the two clips that Hayden had sent him. Hence, he began to think about what Amber had said.

Finally, he had thought things through.

When Jared was still studying, he was already involved in the family business. This was because he had a knack for running businesses, and he enjoyed it. On the other hand, Logan hated studying finances, and he didn't want to be part of the Farrell Group.

Just now, Jared had also called the basketball coach of Logan's school. He could tell that the coach favored Logan very much as he kept praising Logan. Furthermore, the coach had said that he wanted to train Logan to be the next pride of the national basketball team.

Well, if Logan didn't want to inherit the family business, Jared wouldn't want to force him to do so. After all, he didn't want Logan to hate him in the future.

Furthermore, he didn't want Logan's talent in basketball to go to waste.

"Do you mean it?" On the other hand, Logan was dumbstruck as he asked with sparkling eyes, "You're the best brother in this world, Jared! Don't worry, I won't embarrass you or let you down! I'll make it into the national basketball team and win lots of medals!"

Jared immediately said, "You chose this path on your own, so make sure you perform well. Make sure you don't disgrace yourself and our family."

"I got it!" Logan replied immediately while nodding. Then, he started pouring water for Jared and serving him some fruits. "Jared, did you win any good projects today? I think that you're so gentle and sensible today!"

"Huh? What did you use to think of me then?" Jared forced a smile and questioned, "Did I look like a devil to you back then?"

Logan scratched his head before he answered softly, "Nope, I just felt like I was your subordinate previously. After all, I had to be cautious around you, and I was scared every time you said something."

Jared was silent for a moment before replying, " Well, a lady taught me a lesson today."

Well, Jared used to think that he knew everything. However, today, when he heard what Amber had said, he realized that he didn't know what Logan wanted all this time.

After all, in Logan's eyes, he had always been a supervisor. He had never acted like a brother, so they didn't have a close relationship at all.

"Wow! I can't believe anyone would dare to scold you! Who was it? Was it your former teacher?" Logan asked with a stunned expression.

However, Jared didn't answer his question, and he said instead, "What did you eat with Amber tonight?"

"Well, we had barbecue! It was delicious, and I finished four plates of meat on my own…" Logan couldn't stop praising the food that he had tonight. However, while he was rambling, he immediately stopped as he realized something was wrong.

"Um… I suddenly remembered that I have a paper to submit by tomorrow! So, I'll go up first then!"
