Love Letters, Divorce Papers (Jared and Amber)
Chapter 539 Cole's Feelings

"It's inappropriate anyway." Amber sighed and replied, "This word should be exclusive to close lovers. But we are just friends. It's a little cross the line for you to call me that."

Cole laughed a little mockingly, "How could it be crossing the line? I've been calling you that for more than a decade, and we are cool with me calling you that. But now? you think this is inappropriate out of nowhere... Did someone ask you to stop me calling you 'baby'?"

Amber's eyes popped in astonishment slightly.

Seeing this, Cole understood, and clenched his fists. "Sure enough, someone really want me to stop calling you like that... Is that Jared?"

Amber's eyes flashed, tacitly agreeing.

"It's really him!" Cole's expression was ugly. "You're really obedient to him now. Just because he said so, you cast off the way we call each other for more than ten years."

Hearing this, Amber felt a surge of guilt in her heart. "Sorry, Cole. I admit that it's Jared who asked me to do this. He asked me to tell you that he hopes you don't call me that again because it's inappropriate. I've also considered this thoroughly. And I agree with what he says. It's not suitable for the relationship between us."

She didn't feel anything wrong before, but after Jared said so.

She finally realized that the way Cole called her was indeed too intimate; it was beyond the scope of addressing a friend.

"No, it's not that the title was inappropriate." Cole's mouth twitched sarcastically. "It's just you don't want to upset someone."

Amber's expression stiffened, "What... what?"

"Nothing!" Cole took a step back, turned back to the driver's door, opened the door, leaned over and pulled out the car key, "I'll ask you again. Do you really want me to stop calling you by this?"

Amber's red lips moved. She seemed to be hesitating.

But at this time, Jared's face flashed across her mind, and the hesitation in her heart dissipated again. She eventually nodded with confirmed.

Hearing her answer, Cole's emotion sank to the lowest. The anticipation in his mind disappeared instantly.

There was a wry smile in his eyes, "Okay, I see. Since you insist, I will agree. I won't call you 'baby' in the future. But I want you to know that, from this moment on, the relationship between us will never be as close as it used to be."

Amber frowned, "How can it be? It's just a small change. But our friendship won't change, right?"

"If what we have is just friendship, of course it won't change. But we're different.

"Cole clenched the car key in his hand and took a breath, "This 'baby' is my exclusive title for you. Only by calling you that, can

I feel that I am unique to you. Only in that way, can I take an important position in your heart. But now you have deprived me

of the right to call you that, which proves that I am no different from ordinary friends in your heart. I am not as important as I imagined, so... That's it!"

With that said, he put the car keys on the front cover of the car, turned and walked towards the roadside.

"Cole!" Amber called out his name quickly.

But Cole didn't seem to hear it. He didn't even try to turn around or stop. He walked straight to the side of the road, hailed a taxi, then hopped in and left.

Watching the taxi drove away, Amber was stunned on the spot.

His words just now revealed a lot of information.

Among all these information, one thing she understood was that he actually had a crush on her!

Amber clenched her palms tightly and shook her head slightly, disbelief written on her face.

Obviously, she couldn't believe that Cole had feelings for her!

If it wasn't for him just confessing it himself, she wouldn't have discovered it at all.

No wonder he called her by the word "baby".

No wonder he was so reluctant to the ban on the title "baby".

If they were really just friends, if they were merely friend with no hormone, he would probably be sad when she stopped him

to call her baby. But he will definitely not be so sad as if they would never see each other again.

"Cole..." Amber looked at the direction to which Cole left and read his name lightly.

Although she felt sorry for her future relationship with him, she did not regret what she has done now even though the relationship between them will not be as close as before.

If she hadn't found out that he had a crush on her, she might regret it. But she won't regret it afterward. Because if the relationship went on like this, Cole's feelings for her would be overwhelming, and he wouldn't let her go. But she didn't love him that way, so she couldn't respond to his feelings.

Now by stopping him from calling her baby, she told him indirectly that there's only pure friendship between them instead of romantic love. Maybe he will give up the feelings for her in time. So that he won't be stuck by the unrequited love or even lead to a tragic result one day.

Thinking of this, Amber sighed, then walked over to the engine cover of the car, picked up the key Cole had just put down, and entered the apartment building.

On the other side, Jared finally returned to the Farrell's Mansion after a long while.

As soon as he got out of the car, his phone rang.

He raised his hand to indicate Ben to stop the wheelchair first, then he picked up the phone.

"Mr. Farrell, we have escorted Ms. Reed to Kelsington Bay safely," said the man on the other end of the phone.

"Very good. And by the way, have you noticed anything unusual, like suspicious vehicles on the road?"

"No."

Jared frowned, "Okay. From now on, the two of you will protect Amber in secret nearby."

"Yes." The person on the other end of the phone nodded.

Jared stopped saying anything and hung up the phone.

When Ben saw him put down his phone, he then pushed the wheelchair again and sent him through the gate of the villa.

As soon as he entered the living room, Jared saw Shonna Woodham sitting on the sofa with her back at him.

She was holding a mirror with one hand and holding something on her collarbone with another hand, as if she was stroking something. Meanwhile, she kept saying things like 'so beautiful'.

Jared raised his eyebrows and asked, "Mom, what are you doing?"

Hearing his voice, Shonna's expression changed suddenly. She didn't hold the mirror tightly. The mirror in her hand fell and smashed on her leg.

It hurt so bad that she grimaced.

But Shonna ignored the pain. She quickly put the mirror away, rubbed her legs, stood up clutching her collarbone, turned around with a reluctant smiled, looked at Jared and said, "Jared, why did you come back so suddenly? Didn't you live outside recently?"

Seeing her so panic, Jared narrowed his eyes slightly, "I am coming back to get something, Mom, what's wrong with your neck? why are you covering it all the time?

Facing his scrutinizing eyes, Shonna was even more panicked. Cold sweat was about to flow down from her face. Her eyes kept flickering, "I.. I got allergies in my neck, so... so.." Before she could finish her sentence, the phone rang.

Shonna heard the phone ringing and subconsciously wanted to pick it up.

The moment she let go her hand from her collarbone, she realized what she had done. She immediately cried out in her heart, "Damn!"

It would be discovered!

"Was that Corazon Azul?" Ben, who was standing behind Jared, looked at the necklace on Shonna's neck and opened his mouth in surprise. Jared saw that too. He frowned deeply and asked in a deep voice, "Mom, isn't this supposed to be at Amber's place? Why is it here now?" Shonna rolled her eyes when she heard his question. She then hurriedly found an excuse, "This... this is fake... I bought a delicate knockoff."
