Hypnotizing Love
Chapter 43 Is She Treating Him as an Escort?

"I'm announcing this in front of the reporters, so how can this be fake?" Cole raised his eyebrows, "I'll invite you to our wedding." "Well, okay..."

Cole grew up with a more playful demeanor. And Amber was used to it. She shook his hand away and walked into the office.

"A pot of tea and a cup of unsweetened coffee," Cole ordered and then followed Amber into the office. "Honey, after you're done with your work, let's talk about the acquisition of Maxmatch. And this morning, I checked out Maxmatch..."

Sheila watched Cole enter the office, but the door was quickly closed. His voice was also cut off.

She squeezed the file in her hand, and her eyes dimmed.

Amber was a little confused because she slept with some random guy last night.

She couldn't concentrate on her work, and whatever Cole said, she couldn't listen to it at all. In the end, she thought Cole was too noisy, so she kicked him out of the office.

By noon, Amber had calmed down.

She and Jared were divorced, so she was single. Even if she slept with a strange man, it didn't matter.

What puzzled Amber was that she had been able to drink a lot. And she had thrown up last night when she went to the bathroom, so she was pretty sober. But how did she get drunk again later? Also, she didn't remember how she met the man and went to the room with him.

Amber thought about the sticky note with the number she had torn up when she left that morning. Then she took it out of her coat pocket and searched for the number on WhatsApp.

Soon, the man accepted her friend request.

Before the man sent him a message, Amber spoke first.

Amber: We're all adults, so last night was just a game between adults. You'd better forget about it, and it's better for both of us.

Amber transferred 66666 bucks to the man

At that time, Jared was still in the hospital taking care of Makenna.

He learned last night that Makenna had been taken to the emergency room, so he was worried. When he arrived at the hospital, he learned that Makenna was fine. She had only bruised her forehead, and her legs were slightly fractured, so she needed to stay in the hospital for a while.

Makenna soon woke up too. She took his hand, her eyes were red, and her voice had a sobbing tone. "Jared, I'm so scared. Can you stay here?"

Jared couldn't bear to say no, so he let Ben drive Mrs. Gardner back home. Then, he stayed at the hospital by himself.

In the morning, seeing that Makenna was still pale, he asked Ben to bring his computer to the ward to handle company business and keep Makenna company.

By noon, Jared's phone vibrated, and he received a new WhatsApp message.

He tapped in and found that it was a message from his private WhatsApp account. He guessed that Amber had added him, so he switched into that account.

Jared had just passed Amber's friend request. He was still trying to figure out how to mention what happened last night, but Amber sent him a message and proceeded to transfer money to him.

Looking at Amber's WhatsApp message, Jared gradually furrowed his brow, and his face darkened.

He thought Amber...

All of a sudden, a piece of news popped up at the top of his phone screen.

When he saw Amber mentioned in the news, he clicked, saw Cole embracing Amber in the video, clarified the scandal between Amber and himself before, and announced that he was dating Amber. And Cole didn't forget to mock him.

This piece of news, coupled with Amber's drunken ramblings last night, annoyed Jared.

Makenna had just finished a video call with Mrs. Gardner and was in a good mood. She was about to ask Jared what he was having for lunch when she noticed that he looked cold and gloomy. She couldn't help but clutch at the quilts.

Did he have that look on his face again because of Amber?

"Jared," Makenna said softly, "I see you staring at your phone all the time. Are you very busy? Why don't you go back to the office first? I'll be fine alone."

Jared took his eyes off the phone, "No, I'm not busy. I'll be at the hospital with you all day."

"Good." Makenna smiled, "So what do you want to eat for lunch?"

She planned to order some takeout and pretended to accidentally click on some news app when she checked her phone again. Looking at the news twice, she was surprised, "Jared, did you see the news that Miss Reed is in a relationship with Cole?"

"Well, I just saw the news feed."

"Miss Reed insisted on divorcing you before. And I still felt sorry for her, but I'm relieved now." Makenna said, "Miss Reed has found her happiness. And her wedding might even take place before ours." Jared's eyes were somber. And he somehow said, "Cole is not the right person for her."

Makenna froze. Then, she quickly smiled and said, "How come? They are childhood friends. Besides, Cole's mother has always treated Amber like her daughter-in-law. And Cole has told his friends that he'll marry Amber if she asks him to marry her even on the spot."

"Jared, is it because Miss Reed has a boyfriend, and that's why you feel uncomfortable?" Makenna asked carefully. She was pale and looked weak and pitiful. "No," Jared said.

Whether or not Cole was the right person for Amber was not his concern.

Since Amber had sent him a WhatsApp message telling him to forget about last night and that he wasn't responsible for it, he didn't have to care about her anymore.

Jared walked over to the bed and ran his palm through Makenna's hair. He said in a slow tone, "Cole is a playboy, so I'm just making a few comments about him. I married Amber because of you, so I wouldn't have felt anything for her either. You're the woman I need to love and cherish."

Jared kissed her forehead, "Good girl. Have a rest. I don't suppose you want to be engaged to me in a wheelchair by then?"

Makenna immediately shook her head and muttered, "Of course not. It would be too embarrassing! Or I'll skip lunch. I'm afraid if I lie down and don't work out, I won't be able to fit into my wedding dress. What would you like to eat? I'll order you something to eat?"

Jared opened his phone and quickly ordered some food for lunch, "You have to eat because I ordered all the food you love."

"Jared, you must be doing this on purpose. You're trying to fatten me up and make me look ugly." Makenna said with pouted lips, and threw two light punches on Jared.

She was leaning into Jared's arms and feeling very happy.

In fact, she woke up in the early morning hours when Jared was sleeping. She was ready to receive the photos from the male model and then to tell the paper to release those photos. However, she didn't expect that not only did he not send the photos, but the model returned her money.

Luckily, another audio file embroiled Amber in the storm.

So, she had Cole to thank for that!

"Let's see what food you ordered." Makenna was in a good mood. She reached for Jared's phone. Her smile faltered when she saw what he had ordered for lunch.

These were not her favorite dishes...

"Surprised?" Jared chuckled, "You were in a coma for years before, but you told me the things and foods you liked through our letters, so I always remembered that you liked eating mangoes, too. And I ordered a mango cake too."

She had burned those letters, but why did he still remember the contents of the letters and that pen pal!

Makenna held back the jealousy she felt inside and took Jared's hand and said gently, "Jared, one's preferences and tastes can change. From today on, you only remember what I like to eat now, okay?" Jared didn't think much of it and nodded his head in agreement.

Makenna was satisfied.

When she looked up at his thin lips, she suddenly reached to hold him, pulled him down, and was about to kiss him.000
