Love Letters, Divorce Papers (Jared and Amber) -
Chapter 574 I'd Be Waiting for You
In her mind, hypnotizing meant nothing more than that someone was forced unconsciously to answer questions.
But now hearing Jared's words, she knew that she misunderstood what hypnosis could do.
Hypnosis could even affect one's memory directly.
It's quite thrilling to know that.
With her head held in hands, Amber felt mixed feelings welling up in her mind.
With his eyes fixed on her, Jared said, "Yes. The magic of hypnosis is literally unbelievable."
"So, can you give me some examples?" Amber asked.
Jared took out a tablet and searched the word "hypnosis" on the internet for Amber.
Amber browsed through the results and fell into silence.
Hypnosis could not only remove memory from one's mind but also transplant others' memory in one's mind.
At this moment, Amber felt as if her established perception had been overturned.
With her lips quivering, she remained silent for a while before she said, "Sorry, I just couldn't accept that."
It really dealt a heavy blow on her after she knowing how powerful hypnosis could be.
Jared raised his jaw slightly, "So, you don't believe that I was hypnotized?"
Amber opened her mouth but she didn't say a word.
Jared sighed, "That's alright. It does sound incredible. But I can promise that all I said is true. I didn't tell you that only because I didn't want it to be an excuse of my failure to recognize you." "Then why do you tell me that now?" Amber stared at him.
Jared smiled, "That's because it doesn't matter anymore. It doesn't matter whether it was because of hypnosis that I failed to recognize you. What matters now is that I will recognize you right away whatever happens. I promise you."
Amber sniffed, "But I still don't know whether you are lying to me or not."
"Since you have doubts about me, we can do some investigation together." Jared took her hand and looked into her eyes sincerely.
Amber was moved by his words and she was about to agree subconsciously.
But finally, her reason told her to calm down.
She pulled her hand out of his and turned away, "Sorry, I couldn't do it together with you."
"Why?" Jared frowned, "I know how you feel about me now, Amber."
"How did you know?" Amber was taken aback.
Then she realized something and she covered her mouth with her hand.
Oops, she admitted that.
Now as Jared had known that she fell in love with him again, he would definitely be keener to get remarried with her.
With that thought in mind, Amber looked up at Jared with her heart beating quickly.
But there was no joy on the man's face, which was quite weird.
Seemingly, he was not happy with that she admitted her feeling for him.
In fact, Jared had known her feelings for him for a long time when he contacted Nichole.
When Amber finished her soup to dispel the effect of alcohol, her attitude towards him became strangely indifferent.
That's why he asked Nichole what happened, then Nichole told him the content of the conversation between she and Amber.
Then Jared knew Amber had fell in love again with him.
"Actually, I've long been knowing it," Jared stoked the hair beside Amber's ear and said, "But you didn't realize it yourself. The friends around you, like Hayden and Cole, have all known you have fell in love again with me."
But they didn't tell her.
And he knew why they didn't want to tell her. They were afraid that if she realized she had fell in love with Jared again, she would get remarried with him and they wouldn't have a chance to woo her. For Jared, their thoughts were quite ridiculous.
Amber didn't love them, so, no matter how hard they tried, the outcome would be the same anyway.
"How... how did they know?" Amber gasped.
Even Hayden and Cole had known that she had fell in love again with Jared.
Amber didn't doubt Jared's words.
After all, he didn't have to lie to her about this.
"It's quite obvious," Jared stroked Amber's head and said softly, "You couldn't hide your feeling for someone. Your eyes and face would betray you." Amber lowered her eyelids and said, "So, when did you... know that ..."
"About two weeks earlier."
"Oh..."
"Now that we love each other, why don't we get remarried?" with his hands on her shoulders, Jared turned her to fac him and said sincerely.
But Amber looked sideways and shook her head, "Sorry, I cannot."
She refused again.
Jared bit his lips and said in a hoarse voice, "Can you tell me why? If you are not ready for that, I can wait for you."
Amber shook her head again, "That's not because I'm not ready for that. Actually, that's because I'm scared."
"Scared?" Jared was a bit confused, "Of what?"
Amber looked up at him, "I'm afraid that you will fell in love with someone else someday. I'm afraid that you will be indifferent to me, bully me. I can still remember what I suffered six years ago."
"I won't," Jared held her in his arms, "I have never fell in love with anyone else before. My love is you from the beginning. It was the hypnosis that made me felt I loved Makenna. But it was fake. I knew how I treated Makenna in the past. But that is not my true feelings. And I never had sex with her."
"You didn't have sex with Makenna?" Amber was taken aback.
"No, I didn't."
Amber was his only woman.
On the evening a few months ago, it was the first time for both of them to have sex.
Over this, a pink flush spread over Jared's ears.
Noticing the sincerity on his face, Amber chose to believe him and the fear in her heart was reduced.
But she didn't agree to remarry him.
"If what you said is true, I could not get remarried with you. Six years ago, I can do whatever I can for my love. I got my passion and my energy. But now, I cannot do this anymore. The failure of my marriage has made me scared of love, of any romantic relationships. Now I have lost the courage to pursue my own happiness, the kind of courage I had when I was young. I'm not sure what kind of future I'm going to have. I am really able to start a new relationship with you, even if I love you so much," Amber bit her lips and said bitterly.
Jared looked into her eyes for a while before he said, "I know what you mean. You have no confidence in both you and me. You aren't sure whether we'll have a future or not. That's why you flinch." Amber lowered her head to show that he was right.
Jared kissed her forehead gently and said, "That's alright. I can wait for you until you become confident enough and until you trust me, until you trust love."
Though her rejections before had made him quite disheartened, he wouldn't force her. He respected her choice.
Hearing Jared's words, Amber heaved a sigh of relief.
After all, he didn't urge her to believe him.0☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
