Hypnotizing Love
Chapter 445 A Great Listener

"She was indeed the other woman in my parents' marriage," Jared said, rubbing his brow.

Amber's eyes widened. "What? Really?"

"Yes."

"Then why do you treat her..."

"She wasn't a homewrecker, technically speaking. She didn't break up my parents' relationship. Because my parents, they weren't in love, it was a marriage with benefits, and they had me. They were only married because of responsibilities, and after I was born, my parents separated, and then my father met Shonna and fell in love with her." Jared spoke as he leaned against the wall.

Amber nodded. "I see."

His parents weren't in love.

This was the first she had heard of it.

"And after that? When your father was with Shonna, didn't your mother get angry?" Amber asked, looking at the man.

Even if she doesn't love the man, he's still her husband.

You can't expect a woman to be okay with her husband having an affair during the marriage.

Jared, however, shook his head. "She was not angry. My mother was happy to see my father fall in love with Shonna."

"What?" The corner of Amber's mouth twitched.

Happy to see it?

Well... should she say his mother was very forgiving?

"Surprised, right?" Jared looked at her and smiled.

Amber nodded. "I'm surprised. I wouldn't have been so generous."

With that in mind, Jared suddenly remembered those four months ago, he had asked to move her out and give the place to Makenna.

No wonder she didn't ask for a divorce after six years of a loveless marriage, but she did when he tried to take Makenna home.

"What are you thinking?" Amber waved her hand in front of Jared's eyes as his mind wandered.

Jared's eyes flickered, and he looked back, "Nothing."

He didn't want to talk about it, and Amber didn't ask more questions, so she turned the conversation back to what they were talking about.

"By the way, why would your mother be happy to see it? Even though they don't love each other, your father loves Shonna, and Shonna was a threat to your mother's position as Mrs. Farrell." Amber sat cross- legged.

Jared took another bite of the cookie, "Because my mother always wanted to leave the Farrell family, if my father married Shonna, my mother could divorce my father, which was her dream, so my mother was very grateful for Shonna. She even planned to go to replace Grandmother and say nice things about Shonna, to get my father and Shonna married earlier."

"Then what?" Amber arched her back, her elbows resting on her thighs, her chin resting on her palms, and looked at him like a good listener.

Speaking of which, she didn't think she'd ever spoken to him in peace like this.

"And then the night before my mother went to Grandmother, my mother committed suicide because of something," Jared said, squeezing the cookie in his hand and making the plastic packaging squeak. Amber was so shocked that her jaw almost drops, "suicide?"

Ever since she found out that Shonna wasn't his biological mother, she kind of assumed that his real mother was gone.

But she never thought it would be a suicide.

"Yes." Jared lowered his eyelids so no one could see what was behind his eyes.

"Was this because of Shonna?" Amber asked.

Jared shook his head, "She had nothing to do with it. She didn't even know it that my mother actually approved of her being with my father. That was why after my mother's death, Shonna blamed herself as she thought it was her presence that drove my mother to suicide. She felt so guilty about my mother, which is why Shonna consider me as her own child. Even when Logan was conceived, she tried to abort him. But I stopped her."

"I see. Wow, I never really know about Shonna Woodham." Amber raised her eyebrow.

Jared chuckled. "She has a lot of flaws, not a good person, but she's not a bad person either."

Amber didn't deny it.

In fact, during the six-year of their marriage, Shonna also only verbally bullied her, but never really did anything to her.

But Shonna came after her a few times after the divorce and attacked her.

"You finished eating?" Amber asked as Jared suddenly put the cookie down.

"Almost. I'm going to go back to sleep. My Head's still spinning."

"Okay, you get some rest." Amber held him down and tucked him in.

Jared looked at her, "What About You?"

"I'll sleep later, my hair is still wet." Amber pointed to her hair.

Jared nodded slightly and closed his eyes.

Amber got up, went back to the fire, added some more wood, and sat down to dry her hair.

After about half an hour, her hair was dry, and she was a little tired, she yawned.

This day was simply thrilling, plus the matter of life and death, from morning to night, had been from the bone-shaking, to say the least.

So now that she was relaxed, she felt exhausted.

After rubbing her eyes, which was hard to try to keep open, Amber added more wood to make sure the fire didn't go out in the middle of the night. Then she walked over to Jared and picked another quilt, lying down about half a meter from Jared.

After all, the place where there were straws was small, if she didn't sleep with Jared, she'd have to sleep on the cold floor.

Even under the covers, it was absolutely freezing, so she had to lie down next to Jared.

It's not like they were sleeping in the same bed.

The quilt on her had some musty smell, it was not very pleasant, Amber was not used to it since she had never had slept in a quilt like this.

But at this moment with conditions like this, she had to get used to it.

So Amber took a deep breath, tried to ignore the smell, and closed her eyes.

Because she was too tired, even if the smell of the quilt is not good, Amber soon fell asleep, breathing became long and calm.

At that moment, the man next to her suddenly opened his eyes. There was no drowsiness in his eyes. It was obvious that he had been pretending to be asleep instead of actually sleeping.

Jared's eyes fell on Amber's face, watching her peaceful face, as he lifted himself up on one hand and moved toward her.

In order not to wake her, he moved very carefully, like a thief, while he was moving, he also stared at her face to see if she woke up. When he finally moved next to her, she didn't wake up, so Jared got down, put his arms around Amber, and closed his eyes again.

When Amber woke up the next day, it had stopped raining.

She opened her eyes and was startled to see not the familiar ceiling of her bedroom but a stone. "What's going on?"

What was she doing here?

Amber sat up subconsciously, and then the memory of why she was there came flooding back.

She suddenly realized what had happened yesterday.

Amber couldn't help rubbing her temples and calming down.

She slept too much, almost forgot how she ended up here with Jared Yesterday.

Thinking of Jared, Amber turned to her right to see how Jared was doing.

She was shocked to see Jared sleeping next to her.

What's going on?

How come he was lying so close to her?☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
