Love Letters, Divorce Papers (Jared and Amber)
Chapter 969 Makayla Gardner Was Terrified

"Yeah." Jared smiled, "I know you had your dress custom-made to get a chance to talk to Mrs. Rydell. Alice ruined the dress and you had to choose a new one. Now that I've been given this assignment, I must remember why you chose your dress. So how could I forget that and just to pick the most beautiful dress for you? That's why I went after Sophia."

Amber looked at the man with moved eyes, "Thank you. You always look out for me."

Jared pulled over at a red light, and he finally got his hand out, then he rubbed her hair, "If I don't be considerate, wouldn't I be holding you back? That's not who I am as your husband."

"What?" Amber blushed, "Husband? Since when you are my husband? Stop saying that."

Jared raised his eyebrows, "You said it yourself, that you would remarry me, that we would have children of our own. I'm just calling it a little bit earlier, but it's not wrong."

Amber was speechless.

Indeed, barring any accidents, they would be happily reengaged.

So, he was just a little ahead of schedule. There was nothing wrong with that.

Well, she might as well let him.

"All right, green light. Let's go. Amber bypassed the subject with a gentle look at the man.

The man chuckled and restarted the car.

On the way, Amber suddenly frowned and looked worried.

While Jared was taking his driving seriously, he did occasionally look at her out of the corner of his eye.

Seeing the tension in her expression, he asked with concern, "What's wrong?"

"I keep feeling like I've forgot something." Amber said uncertainly, biting her lower lip.

Jared turned around and looked at her, "Forget something?"

"Yes." Amber nodded, "I feel like I'm missing something. I've been feeling this way since I left Sophia's shop, but I can't remember what I missed."

"If you can't, don't think about it. Well, if that's what happens when you leave Sophia's store, then I guess you missed something there. But our connection with Sophia is only the dress, nothing else. If the dress is already here and there's no future interaction with Sophia, then it is not that important, so don't worry about it." Jared looked down the road and reassured her.

Amber thought about this and decided that he was right, so she said no more.c

Soon they were at One of Olkmore's most famous Southern Cuisine restaurants.

Jared parked the car, took her hand, and went inside.

The restaurant was very large, with two floors, the first floor was an open hall, and the second floor was private rooms.

Jared certainly wouldn't have chosen the hall. After they went inside, he booked a private room, not wanting to eat in the same space as others.

He just wanted to have dinner alone with Amber.

Amber also didn't want to be in the hall either. The hall was crowded and the atmosphere was complicated, not as quiet as the private room.

So, Jared's arrangement was just what she wanted.

"This way, please." The waiter made an invitation gesture and signaled Amber and Jared to follow him.

Jared took Amber by the hand and, without saying much, followed him.

When they reached the second floor, the waiter opened the door of one of the best private rooms and invited them in.

As Amber and Jared followed the waiter into the room, a door across the room swung open and Makayla Gardner, looking uncomfortable, emerged from the room to see Amber and Jared's back. Makayla Gardner stood there with her eyes wide open and forgot to react.

Was that Mr. Farrell and Miss Reed?

Though she could not see the faces of them, she knew their backs so well that she recognized them at once.

Those two guys that just went into the diagonally opposite compartment were definitely them.

For a moment, Makayla Gardner's palms were clenched and her face turned pale. She looked worse than when she came out.

She just used the excuse to go to the bathroom, but she really wanted to go to the bathroom to vomit the disgusting Southern Cuisine. She was surprised to see Jared and Amber on the road. Were they here to eat Southern Cuisine too?

Well, this was a restaurant of Southern Cuisine. If they were not here to eat Southern Cuisine, were they here to have fun?

What she didn't understand was that Amber and Jared would show up for such bad local food.

Forget about Jared. She didn't really care about him.

But Amber was coming, and she had to take it seriously.

Her mother was from South Riverside before she was married. She still liked Southern Cuisine and ate it at South Riverside or here from time to time.

She was here today because she was here with her mom and dad to eat Southern Cuisine. It was the first time she had ever eaten it, and she didn't expect it to taste so bad. In order to pretend to be a considerate daughter, she also said that she liked Southern Cuisine, inheriting her mother's favorite taste, and sure enough, she made her mother very happy.

But in fact, she hated them. But in order not to reveal herself, she swallowed each mouthful of them with a forced nausea. If she couldn't swallow it, she would excuse herself to go to the bathroom and throw it up. This was the second time she has used an excuse to go to the bathroom.

Unexpectedly, she came out and saw them.

She didn't know about Jared, but Amber clearly had her mom's taste in Southern Cuisine.

Her parents were in their private room right now, and their private room was across the hall from Amber's. They might have met.

If her parents saw Amber and knew that she liked Southern Cuisine, would they doubt Amber's identity again?

After all, there was a lot of "Makayla Gardner" stuff about Amber right now.

The last time her parents came home from the pastry shop, her mother was saying that Amber had a scar on her wrist.

God only knew that she almost freaked out when she heard that. She was afraid Amber would tell her parents that her scar used to be a red mole.

Fortunately, Amber's dislike of her parents kept this from being revealed. Otherwise, at that point, she wouldn't be the fake Makayla she was.

So, what she had to do now was to not let her parents see Amber, at least not in a place like that, which showed same interests of Amber and her mother, or they would have something to think about. Only, how could she prevent them from meeting?

This was a restaurant, so how could she be sure when Amber and Jared would come out of their private room?

As Makayla Gardner gritted her teeth and felt uneasy, she heard Mrs. Gardner's puzzled voice behind her, "Makayla, what are you doing in the doorway? I thought you had to go to the bathroom."

At the sound of Mrs. Gardner's voice, Makayla Gardner forced a smile and turned back, "Well, I'm going."

Then she closed the door and headed for the bathroom.

Amber just got into her compartment. She wouldn't be out so soon.

Her parents had just gone to the bathroom, and they weren't leaving their private room.

So, she should not worry about it when she went to the bathroom to puke.

In their room, Mrs. Gardner looked at the closed door with a slight frown and a worried expression on her face, "Honey, don't you think Makayla's been a little weird all this time? She seemed to be worried about something, and she wouldn't say anything when asked."

Trenton Gardner took a sip of his soup and nodded, "She's been a little weird lately, but as a young people, there's always something weird about her, so don't worry."

"That's true, but I heard Gwen say that Makayla would wake up in the middle of the night from nightmares, saying things like she was Makayla and not a fake. What do you think is going on with her?" Mrs. Gardner put down her chopsticks and looked at Trenton Gardner.
