Hearing Jared's words, Amber nodded. "That's good. Anyway, you still have us. We won't take you as a substitute for anyone. So don't think too much, okay?"

She looked at him.

Looking at the serious look on the woman's face, Jared felt warm in his heart. He touched the woman's soft cheek and said gently, "Okay, I understand."

"That's good. Will you still be sad?" Amber put her hand on the back of his hand which was stroking her cheek and asked. Jared shook his head and said, "no, I'm not sad, because you said that I have you."

He just felt painful, angry, and sad when he first knew that her mother took him as Connor's substitute.

That was his mother.

But after the anger, he gradually calmed down.

He began to understand that although his mother treated him as a substitute, she had passed away nearly twenty years

ago.

He didn't want to argue with a person who had passed away for so long.

But he couldn't vent his anger, so he had to put all the anger on Connor.

Whether Connor knew that he was a substitute or not, he wouldn't let Connor go.

If something was wrong, someone must take responsibility. Since his mother died, the person who should take the responsibility should naturally be Connor.

After figuring it out, his anger was relieved a lot, and the bad emotions in his heart gradually disappeared.

Even if he couldn't figure it out, he wouldn't keep angry for so long and would quickly caim himself down.

He couldn't let Amber worry about him. His anger would frighten her and make her uneasy.

Besides, she had been comforting him. He couldn't let her down.

Thinking of this, Jared stroked Amber's face more gently. He wanted to remember this face in his mind forever.

Amber's face was a little itchy because of his touch. She grabbed his wrist and pulled his hand away from her face. "Well,

since it's all right, let's have lunch first. It's already noon. I'm hungry. You must be hungry too, right?"

Jared didn't answer whether he was hungry or not. Hearing that she was hungry, he pulled her to the kitchen in a hurry and said, "I'll cook for you"

"Wait!" Seeing that he was in a hurry, Amber was amused and stopped him.

Jared stopped and looked back at her. "What's wrong?"

"I don't need you to cook. I've already done it." Amber showed him her apron.

Only then did Jared replace that she was still wearing the apron.

When he opened the door and saw her, his attention was on her face all the time. He really didn't notice that she was wearing this.

Amber put down her apron and said, "I have cooked a lot of your favorite dishes. You can eat a lot later. They are all specially made for you."

"Specially made for me?" Jared's eyes lit up.

Amber nodded and said, "of course. My man is angry and sad. I have to coax him and cook his favorite food for him.” Jared understood. She cooked for him and wanted him to cheer up. She didn't want him to lose his mind because of this cruel truth or doubt himself and give up on himself.

Thinking of this, Jared held Amber tightly in his arms again.

Amber's nose hit his hard chest. It hurt so much that her eyes turned red in an instant.

But she didn't make a sound. Otherwise, this man would be nervous and regretful.

She didn't want him to check her once and once again, so she'd better endure this.

Without being noticed by Jared, Amber raised her hand and gently rubbed the tip of her nose. When the tip of her nose felt better, she finally let out a sigh and put down her hand.

She knew that the man suddenly hugged her because the meal she cooked for him moved him.

That was why he suddenly became emotional and hugged her to express his excitement and joy at the moment.

This man was just like this. He would not say that he was moved and happy but express it more directly and hotly. Such as hugs and kisses.

In fact, these direct expressions could also prove whether a person was really moved or happy.

"Okay, okay.' Amber stretched out her index finger and gently poked the man's waist. "It's just a meal. You don't have to be so moved. I didn't do anything so moving, did 17°

As a matter of fact, this man looked cold and ruthless and was usually indifferent to others. People all thought he was arrogant, powerful, and omnipotent.

But only she knew that in private, especially in front of her, he would smile, talk gently, and even flirt.

At the same time, he was easy to be moved.

And a person who was easy to be moved was also soft-hearted.

But she knew very well that his heart was soft, not to others, but only to her, the person he cared for most.

Definitely, in her eyes, he was the most charming man in the world.

Maybe that was why she fell in love with him again.

Jared didn't know what was on Amber's mind. He rubbed his chin against her head and said, "Everything you have done for me is moving.'

Amber was amused. "I'm so glad to hear this. Well, let go of me. Aren't you hungry?"

She patted him on the back.

The man reluctantly let her go.

Then, Amber took his hand and walked toward the kitchen. They got the rice, placed the dishes, and had lunch together.

Seeing that the man was enjoying the food and there was sadness on his face anymore, Amber finally feit relieved.

In fact, when the man went to the study to calm himself down, she was also thinking outside. Instead, she was reflecting on whether it was right for her to tell him this.

After all, this was not good news.

But then she stopped thinking and believed that she shouid tell him.

He had the right to know.

And if he knew it earlier, he could be always on guard against Connor, so that no one else who knew it would use it to

ridicule him.

For example, Connor.

If Connor really killed Jared's father, there would definitely be a fight between Connor and him.

If Connor knew that Jared was a substitute, he would laugh at him and frustrate him. If Jared didn't know that when this happened, he would suffer more.

Even if it wasn't Connor, he had other enemies in the business world who would attack him if they knew it. Therefore, she decided to let him know earlier and erase all the traces that might be known by others. In the future, he would not hear anyone use this to attack him.

She did it for his good.

So she didn't think she was wrong to tell him about it.

"What are you thinking about?" Noticing that the woman was absent-minded, Jared frowned and asked.

Amber's eyes flashed and came back to her senses. She shook her head and said, "nothing. I was just thinking about the phone call with Aunt Amanda"

She didn't want to tell him what she had just thought.

Since he had let it go, there was no need to mention it again.

"What did you say on the phone?" Jared took a sip of water.

Amber picked up a piece of fish and put it on his plate. "She asked when we would be there tonight so that she could ask

the butler to welcome us at the door. She also asked what you like to eat. She would ask people to buy food materials early, and..."
