Love Letters, Divorce Papers (Jared and Amber) novel Chapter 977

He hadn’t stopped smoking at all. On the contrary, he probably smoked very often.

Only, she didn’t see it, which was why she thought he had quit.

She knew now that she had been wrong.

Jared looked at the woman’s angry little face and touched the tip of his nose guiltily.

He had never expected that his smoking would cause her so much displeasure.

Now he, too, was regretting smoking.

“Sorry, I won’t smoke any more. I will quit smoking. Don’t be angry, ok?” Jared took Amber by the hand and said in earnest.

Amber leered at him, “You sure?”

“Yes.” Jared held up three fingers, “I can swear it.”

He looked serious.

Amber pursed her red lips, “What’s the point of swearing? Will the vows come true?”

No!

Jared silently replied, realizing that swearing wasn’t very reliable or convincing. There was silence for a few seconds. Then he looked at her and asked, “So what do I have to do to make you believe me?”

“Who knows?” Amber replied faintly, “Even if I believe you now, who knows if you will smoke when I’m not around. Even if you said you wouldn’t, I don’t know if it’s true.”

That was true.

Jared was silent again.

He reached into his pocket, pulled out the cigarette and the expensive lighter, and placed them on the table in front of Amber.

Amber looked at the cigarette on the table and then at the man next to her, “What so you mean?”

“I’ll leave it to you.” Jared said with a sincere face.

Then he took her hand and pressed it carefully in his, “What I said is true. I will not smoke in the future. I will never do anything that will disappoint you, so give me a chance, ok?”

He was very serious.

So serious that Amber couldn’t even say no.

Amber squeezed the corners of her mouth and sighed, “Well, if you speak so sincerely, it would be wicked of me not to believe you, and not to give you a chance.”

“No.” Jared frowned, “You will always be a good fairy in my heart.”

This amused Amber, “Fairy? Glib talker!”

Jared chuckled, “You’re the only person I would say that to.”

Amber glared at him.

She believed it.

“Well, since you said you’d quit smoking, I’ll put these away for you.” Amber reached out and pulled the cigarette and lighter from the table toward her before placing them in her bag.

When she was doing this, she did not forget to gaze at the look of the man next to her, to see if he would be unwilling.

But his face was perfectly calm throughout, and he showed no displeasure at her behavior.

This made Amber look up at the man.

Placing her bag back on a nearby chair, Amber looked at the man with a half-smile, “I thought you’d hate to lose it.”

Jared ate his food calmly, “Why should I? I don’t smoke very often, except once in a while. Why do you think you didn’t know I was smoking until now?”

This left Amber speechless.

Indeed, if he had been a heavy smoker, she would have caught him smoking regularly.

“I just didn’t think you’d resent my smoking so much.” Said Jared, handing her soup.

Amber graciously took the soup to show her that she was not angry about his smoking anymore.

“I hate it because I care about you and your health. If you weren’t my boyfriend, I wouldn’t care.” Amber looked directly at the man.
