My ex-wife is so beautiful novel (Jared and Amber) novel Chapter 88

Logan splashed cold water on his face in the restroom and looked at himself in the mirror with red eyes.

He knew he had not played well or given his all in this match.

It wasn't that he didn't want to do his best, but he just couldn't. He felt bored and lacked passion for the game whenever he thought of Jared and Makenna not coming to watch the match.

"Liar, didn't they say they would come here?" said Logan. In a rage, he pounded his fist on the washbasin, and tears slowly welled up in his eyes.

Suddenly, his mobile phone rang.

Logan took a deep breath to calm himself. He took out his phone and answered, "Hello?"

"Logan, it's almost time for the third quarter of the game. Are you ready?" asked a teammate.

Logan replied listlessly, "Yes."

"Then hurry back."

His teammate hung up the phone after saying that.

Logan kept his phone and headed out.

Just as he stepped out of the washroom, someone called to him, "What the hell are you thinking?"

That voice!

Logan was surprised when he noticed Jared leaning against the wall next to the washroom. He exclaimed joyfully, "Jared, you're here?"

Jared just looked at him.

Logan sniffed, his voice slightly choked, "When did you come? I thought you weren't going to show up."

"I've promised you to come see the game. I apologize for being late because of the traffic." Jared said while rubbing his hair.

Logan stepped backwards and said proudly, "Stop it. I am no longer a child."

Jared's lips curled up, "Okay, big man. Tell me why you were off form in the game? I know you're more capable than that."

"It was all your fault," grunted Logan, "You didn't come to support me."

Jared raised his eyebrows.

He thought that Logan didn't perform well because he was preoccupied with something.

He never expected Amber and him to be the causes.

"You play that worse because Amber and I aren't here. You were so childish," said Jared with a bit disapproval.

Logan retorted, "This is my first legit game and I had been looking forward to seeing you guys here… Wait! Jared, how did you know I had invited Amber? I remember I didn't tell you, did…"

His eyes were filled with joy all at once.

Jared was amused, "It was what you wished for. She was here too."

"That's great!" Logan said while clapping his hand.

"So, for the next game…"

"I know, I'm going to give it my all and win the match!" Logan interrupted him with a very firm tone.

Jared nodded in satisfaction before adjusting back to his serious face again and saying, "Very good, remember what you promised me. Also, I hope that what happened today does not happen again in the future. If you're still dejected the next time just because we didn't come for your match, I advise you to listen to Shonna and stop playing basketball."

"I won't," promised Logan.

He was being disappointed because this was his first game.

But he would never do this again.

"That's good. Let's go, the next match starts soon," said Jared while patting Logan's shoulder.

"Then I'll go first." Logan waved his hands before darting away.

After Logan was out of his sight, Jared put his hands back in his pockets. Then, he turned around to return to his seat.

The third quarter of the game started. Logan swept away his gloom from the first and second quarters. Being high-spirited, he was able to break through the opponent's defense as if he was on fire. Soon, he scored.

He jumped and waved to the audience.

The crowd's enthusiasm was immediately revived and they cheered.

Amber smiled, "Looks like he has recovered. What did you say to him?"

She was the one who initiated the conversation.

Jared's eyes widened in surprise, but he quickly calmed down and said, "He couldn't do his best in the previous game because we weren't present. Now that he knows we are here, he can do his best."
