Love Letters, Divorce Papers (Jared and Amber) novel Chapter 882

“I’m at fault, too.”

Suddenly, Jared unbuckled his seat belt, wrapped Amber sideways around him, puts his chin on Amber’s shoulder, and his voice was filled with remorse. “If I had found out at an early age that Connor Stockert had betrayed my mother, she might not have waited ten years, or given up her life in despair at the sight of hope. Maybe if she had known that Connor Stockert was cheating on her, she would have gotten over her relationship with Connor Stockert sooner and really accepted my father.”

Amber, sensing his loneliness and guilt, patted him on the back lovingly, “Don’t say that, it’s not your fault, you were a kid at that time, how could you have thought about it so much, so it’s really not your fault. Don’t blame yourself. Your mother loved you, and if she knew that you were trying to pin her death on you, she’d be devastated, too, and you wouldn’t want that, would you?”

Jared didn’t say anything, but silently held Amber closer and buried his head deeper into her neck.

Amber continued to pat him on the back, silently calming him.

Even though he was so high up and powerful, and he seemed to be able to do anything.

But stripped of all the glamour, he was just another man.

An ordinary man with feelings like ordinary people.

He would be sad, he would blame himself, he would feel guilty.

And he could use a little comfort and companionship.

It wasn’t until a cop knocked on the window and told them not to stop for too long that Jared released Amber, started his car, and drove away.

On the way back to Kelsington Bay, Jared was driving quietly, staring straight at the road, and not saying a word.

At Kelsington Bay, he pulled into the parking lot. When he was stationary, he let go of the wheel and looked at Amber next to him, “You can rest assured that I will never be a man like Connor Stockert.”

“What?” Amber paused as she undid her seat belt, as if wondering why he would say such a thing.

Jared took her hand and looked serious, “I will give you my heart and soul, and I will never be a hypocrite like Connor Stockert, who says one thing and does another in secret. I won’t hurt you the way he hurt my mother, and that’s my promise to you. Trust me.”

As a man, you should keep your promises and agreements.

If you said yes, you must do it.

Jared was brought up not to be a person who broke his promises. When you loved someone, you should love them with all your heart and you two had only each other.

Even if you didn’t love each other, you should continue to be loyal as long as you were not apart.

This was to respect each other, but also to their own moral responsibility.

Of course, there would never be a time when he didn’t love Amber.

So, for people like Connor Stockert, even though he was a man, he was sick to death.

He told Amber that because he wanted her to know that there were plenty of men in the world. There were plenty of guys like Connor Stockert out there, but there were also plenty of good ones, and Jared was one of them.

He didn’t want her to hear about the disgusting things Connor Stockert was doing and suspect him of doing the same thing out there, too. After all, he had made promises to her in the past, and he was worried that Connor Stockert might made her think his promises were unreliable.

Then he would be really vexed.

So, he couldn’t wait to make it clear to Amber that he was not Connor Stockert, and he certainly won’t be Connor Stockert.

She was supposed to believe him, right?
