Makenna could see that Jared agreed with Hayden. She hated Hayden inwardly.
She knew that Hayden was deliberately digging a trap for her. Because she didn't want to hike, so he forced her to.
But she had to jump into the trap, or she would really be the one who was hypocritical as he thought.
Thinking of this, Makenna cursed Hayden in her heart, but she said with a smile on her face, "Mr. Cohen, you're funny. I said that the mountain is too high but I didn't say that I would go back."
"Oh? So you still want to go up there?" Hayden raised his eyebrows and looked at her.
Makenna nodded. "Of course."
"Oh, that's great." Hayden smiled.
Jared looked at Makenna and said, "Makenna, you don't have to listen to Hayden. If you really don't want to hike, you can..."
"Jared, it doesn't matter. I can do it." Makenna raised her hand to stop him from speaking.
Seeing her insistence, Jared could only give up.
"Oh no, it is so cheesy." Stella looked at them and couldn't help shivering.
Amber smiled. "Is it?"
Stella curled her lips and said, "We're here to hike. Look at how lovey-dovey they are. This is not a soup opera. Oh, look, cover their lips with hands. It really gave me the goose bumps. Cheesy, cheesy, cheesy!"
Amber looked back at Jared and Makenna and nodded with a grin. "Yes, a little."
"Okay, Mr. Reed. Let's go. It's such an eyesore." Stella took her arm.
Amber nodded and entered the mountain.
Jared who was at the end of the line heard the conversation between her and Stella, and seemed to be a little unhappy.
Did the way he and Makenna interacted with each other look cheesy to them?
"Jared, what are you thinking about?" Makenna shook his arm.
Jared came to his senses and said, "Nothing, let's go."
They also entered the mountain entrance.
Since no one else wanted to be with them, Jared and Makenna walked behind them.
At first, the seven of them slowly moved forward one by one.
However, halfway through, Logan suddenly proposed to race to the top of the mountain.
When he proposed, he deliberately glanced at Cole provocatively.
Of course, Cole could not bear this arrogant boy and agreed to participate in the race.
Hayden joined in the fun.
Stella also wanted to join, but Cole asked her to stay with Amber to protect her.
After all, he was not at ease letting Amber to walk with Jared and Makenna.
The three men ran away at the same time, leaving Amber, Stella, Jared and Makenna walking slowly behind them.
After walking for a while, Makenna suddenly sat down on a rock and gasped. "Jared, I'm so tired."
Jared also stopped, took a bottle of water from his bag, opened it, and handed it to her. "Drink some."
"Thank you, Jared." Makenna took it over with a smile.
Jared took out another bottle of water and handed it to Amber.
Although Amber was a little surprised, she still rejected him and said, "Thank you, Mr. Farrell, but I don't need it. I'm afraid that if I accept it, your fiancée's other personality would come out and kill me."
After that, she pulled Stella away.
Watching her walk away, Jared pursed his lips and put away the water.
Makenna could tell that he was a little displeased. She grips the bottle so hard that it was almost twisted.
"Was he unhappy because of being rejected by Amber?"
Makenna lowered her eyes to hide the maliciousness in her eyes. She said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Jared. It's all because of me that Miss Reed..."
"It has nothing to do with you." Jared put the bottle of water back in his backpack and looked at her. "Do you feel better?"
