Okay then, this conversation was over.
He couldn’t care less about whether Logan was his brother or not and he didn’t care that Logan was just a kid.
What he cared about was that he didn’t like it when a guy had been contacting her.
He was so possessive that Amber found it frustrating and funny.
Amber pulled a wry face and rubbed her forehead, “Fine, I won’t pick up all of his calls from now on, okay?”
Logan would come back soon anyway. They wouldn’t need to make phone calls so much.
Because they could just talk face to face more often.
Of course, she wouldn’t say that out loud.
Hearing that Amber had promised him, Jared finally smiled and felt better.
Amber put down the spoon and said, “By the way, Logan has grown up a lot. He just apologized to me back then.”
“Why would be apologize to you?” Jared instantly frowned and seemed intense, “did he just pick on you on the phone?”
Amber was stunned a bit and didn’t quite understand how he drew this conclusion. She found it both hilarious and heartwarming.
“No,” Amber shook her head, “he was apologizing for the past.”
Hearing that, Jared finally stopped overreacting and calmed down. He lifted his chin and said, “Then he should apologize to you. My mother…Shonna should apologize too. But I’m sorry that I can’t just force her to do that. She’s the one who raised me. But I will take the responsibility to apologize to you.”
“No need,” Amber carelessly waved her hand, “it’s her fault, not yours. You don’t have to take it for her. And I’ve been wanting to let her slide for your sake in the first place because I don’t care about her apology at all. Even if she apologizes, she wouldn’t mean it. So she doesn’t have to do anything as long as I don’t have to live with her under the same roof. We just go our separate ways and don’t have to deal with each other.”
Jared chuckled, “Of course. I’ve said it before that we’ll be living in Zenith Building. Though it is not as big and fancy as the Farrell’s Mansion it’s enough for us to live in, don’t you think?”
A rather small house would feel more like home.
If it was too big, it would be a bit lonesome even if two live birds live there together.
“I’m okay as long as I don’t have to live with Shonna,” Amber said, blushing.
Jared rubbed her hair and said, “Good. Okay, let’s eat. The food is getting cold.”
Amber hummed and suddenly thought of something. She looked at him caringly and asked, “Have you eaten anything yet?”
Jared nodded, “Yeah, Ben sent some food here. I wanted to invite you but then I thought about it and changed my mind. And I saved the food for you.”
“Why did you change your mind?” Amber asked as she was eating.
Jared’s eyes darkened and leaned back. He propped up his head with his hand and looked at her in a passionate way like he was going to eat her alive. He said in a seductive voice, “Because I want you to have some sleep. When you’re fully rested, you won’t be able to sleep at night. And if you can’t sleep at night, you’ll have enough energy to be with me tonight.”
Click!
The fork in Amber’s hand was suddenly dropped to the desk and clashed. She was in shock.
“If you can’t sleep at night, you’ll have enough energy to be with me tonight.” Those words kept hovering in her head and she couldn’t get them out of his mind.
She suddenly remembered that in the daytime she promised him she would stay in his office with him tonight.
And then she connected the dots…
Boom!
Amber felt her face burning up and she started blushing. Her almond eyes were wide open as she stared at him shyly.
She never realized that was the goal of his plan that he didn’t wake her up and just let her sleep.
This man was so…
