Cole also wanted to say something, but he finally refrained from doing that due to the mixed feelings in his mind.
Amber was not Mr. and Mrs. Reed's own child, but a child adopted by them. What a drama!
Amber did doubt her identity before, but after they had confirmed her identity in the South Riverside, they were quite happy about that.
But now…
Cole fixed his worried eyes on Amber, who was now lowering her head and seemed to be quite depressed.
"Auntie," Amber stood up suddenly with the box held in hand, "What's in that box?"
Mrs. Lyon shook her head, "I have no clear idea as I've never opened it before. It is given to you by your mother after all. If you want to know what is inside, you can open it when you get home."
Amber was silent.
Mrs. Lyon took her hand, "I know it's hard to accept it so let's just forget about it for a while and have dinner together."
Then they headed to the dining room.
After staring at their back and then the box Amber left for a while, Cole followed them in behind.
During the meal, Amber looked quite weird as if she were not there. Mrs. Lyon and Cole was also silent.
In the large dining room, apart from the sound of forks and knives, there was no other sound. Silence reigned this room.
Mr. Lyon had no idea what happened, and he couldn't bear the depressing atmosphere. So, he laid down the fork and knife and was about to say something.
But Mrs. Lyon noticed his behavior and she squinted before she gave him a warning glimpse.
Mr. Lyon was the kind of hen-pecked husband. Seeing the glimpse of Mrs. Lyon, he picked up his fork and knife again and remained silent.
Then the dinner finished.
Amber picked up the box and said goodbye to Mr. and Mrs. Lyon before she walked towards the gate.
Mrs. Lyon hinted Cole hastily, "You drive Amber home. She can't drive in this state."
"I know." Cole rushed out before he finished.
When he got outside, he saw Amber didn't notice a rock under her feet and was almost tripped.
He got quite worried and took a few steps to catch her arm before she fell onto the ground. He asked nervously, "Are you all right, Amber?"
Amber tickled her eyes and stared blankly at him before she shook her head and said in a hoarse voice, "I'm fine. I'm leaving now."
She took out the key and stabbed the car door with it.
With her behavior in sight, Cole said with his eyebrows raised, "Do you know what you are doing now?"
Amber looked as if she didn't hear what Cole said and kept stabbing.
Cole couldn't bear it anymore and took the key from her, "I will drive you home. You're not yourself right now. That's not the key of your car but the key of your house. I must drive you home in case there is any danger. Now let's get back home."
He pressed the key and opened the car.
Amber bit her lips and didn't say anything. She turned to sit on the passenger seat.
She knew she couldn't drive the car herself.
The car soon left the area and headed into the downtown area and then Kelsington Bay, where Amber lived.
