Hypnotizing Love
Chapter 481 Not The Real Daughter

"What about the teachers I asked you to replace for Logan?" Jared seemed a bit tired and he rubbed his temple.

Ben replied, "I've found talents from different fields to teach Mr. Logan. They are ready for teaching Mr. Logan as soon as he finishes the game."

Jared raised his jaw, "That's fine. You can leave now."

"Copy that." Ben nodded and turned away to leave.

Jared picked up the phone and stared at Amber's photo on the screen. He touched her face with his thumb and murmured, "That's all I can do for you..."

On the other side, Amber came to the Lyon's family with gifts bought for Mrs. Lyon on hand.

Hearing the sound of Amber's car, Mrs. Lyon came out to welcome her, "I missed you so much, Amber."

"Now we are together again, auntie." Amber walked over to her to hug her with open arms.

A few moments later, Mrs. Lyon let her go and held Amber's face in hands, "You are thinner than before and your face looks quite pale. Maybe you didn't rest well?"

A guilty look flashed on Amber's face. She nodded, "You're right. I've been quite busy these days."

She dared not tell Mrs. Lyon what she had undergone in recent. Otherwise, Mrs. Lyon would have passed out in shock.

Hearing her words, Mrs. Lyon felt quite worried about her hand holding Amber's hand, "Busy as you are, you should take a rest when necessary. You're so young. You need to take care of your own health."

"I know. Thank you, auntie." Amber felt warmth welling up in her mind and replied smilingly.

Then, Cole got out of the garage with the gown Amber bought for Mrs. Lyon in hand, "Let's get inside, Mom."

"Yeah, yeah, yeah..." Mrs. Lyon patted her forehead, "I forgot that. I'm so happy to see you, Amber. Let's get inside the house now."

Then she took Amber's hand and entered the room with Cole following them with gifts in hand.

In the living room, Cole gave the gift to his mother, who then asked him to prepare some tea and snacks in the kitchen.

Then Mrs. Lyon sat with Amber on the sofa and began to unwrap the gift.

There were a pair of simply yet elegantly designed earrings, quite suitable for a woman at Mrs. Lyon's age.

The moment she saw them, Mrs. Lyon fell in love with them, "It's beautiful. It's very kind of you to give me them."

"I'm glad you like it," Amber said with a smile.

"I like it. So much." Mrs. Lyon nodded and said smilingly, "I love whatever you give me, Amber. Now could you help me to put them on?"

"Yes, I can," Amber agreed and then stood up to took off her earrings before she gently helped her put on the earrings which she bought for her.

Mrs. Lyon shook her head a bit to feel the weight of the earrings before she turned to Amber, "Do I look good with these earrings?"

"You look beautiful with or without the earrings, auntie." Amber praised.

Mrs. Lyon was very delighted and said while stroking the earrings, "You're so sweet. Cole or his father wouldn't have praised me like that. They would say all the earrings look the same. Oh, men are all like that."

Before Amber could reply, Cole's voice rose from behind, "I'm not one of those men, mom. I compliment you every time you asked me to comment on the jewelry you wear. It is father who would say that. Then he walked over and put a plateful of fruits before Amber, "Have some fruit, honey."

"Thank you." Amber nodded and picked up a cherry.

Mrs. Lyon took off the earrings and put them in the box before she looked up and rolled her eyes back towards him, "I'm telling the truth. You've always been using the same words to praise me. For me, you're just doing the same as your father."

Cole twitched his mouth and didn't say a word.

Mrs. Lyon got to the point instantly.

His mother was right.

Though he didn't say that all the earrings look the same, he did give the same praise to every pair of earrings Mrs. Lyon wore. He did just the same as his father.

With how embarrassed Cole was in sight, Amber couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Seeing her laughing delightedly, Cole also smiled.

Mrs. Lyon noticed the change on Cole's face and she shook her head and heaved a sigh in her mind.

He was still the innocent boy he used to be.

She had told her son that he should pluck up enough courage to woo Amber if he liked her even if she would refuse his love. What he needed to do was to let Amber know what he had in mind.

But her stupid boy didn't listen to her. Or although he knew she was right, he was too timid to show his love for Amber and thus he kept it a secret. Now, Amber had no idea how Cole felt for her. Yet he deserved it. It was quite stupid for him to hide his love in his mind. Maybe he was illusioned to think Amber would in turn try to woo him?

With that in mind, Mrs. Lyon was quite disappointed at her son.

She had an angry glimpse at Cole before she said, "What are you standing here now? Now you tell the chief to prepare dinner and inform your father to get back home earlier this evening." "What?" Cole was stunned for a second.

"Get going, boy!" Mrs. Lyon shouted at him.

Cole kept nodding and said, "I'm on it."

Then he stood up and walked towards the kitchen again.

On his way, he kept wondering why his mother would look at him as if he were a coward.

After he left, there were only Mrs. Lyon and Amber in the room.

Amber put down the cup and asked, "Auntie, you asked Cole to tell me to visit you in my leisure time, right? He said you had something to tell me. What's that?"

Hearing her words, the smile on Mrs. Lyon's face faded and she looked quite worried.

Seeing the change on her face, Amber also felt a bit nervous, "What happened, auntie?"

Mrs. Lyon shook her head and put a smile on face again, "I'm fine. I'm just wondering whether it is right to tell you right now."

Amber looked quite confused after hearing what she said.

Mrs. Lyon didn't say anything but took out a small box from under the tea table and handed it to her, "Your mother gave me this before she passed away. She asked me to keep it until you know your identity." "Wait, auntie, what are you talking about? What do you mean by my identity?" Amber clenched the box tightly with a worried face. She began to know what Mrs. Lyon was going to say was quite important. Seeing her reaction, Mrs. Lyon said after a while of struggling in mind, "Actually... you are not your parents' biological daughter."

Amber felt as if she were stuck by a flash of lightning and she was stunned and her world collapsed before her mind's eyes.

"I... I'm not my parents' real daughter?" Amber squeezed out these words after quite a long while and she stared at Mrs. Lyon blankly.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
