Love Letters, Divorce Papers (Jared and Amber)
Chapter 973 Who’s In The Room

"I didn't know that at first." Jared put a meal on her plate and moved on, "Hayden Cohen came to me once to talk to me about a government investment, and when he was talking, Hayden Cohen received a gift from Makayla Gardner, and it happened to be White Day. Hayden Cohen didn't look well and told me that this was not the first time Makayla Gardner had given him gifts. She also gave him presents on weekdays. Not only that, but she often ran into Hayden Cohen, so it's not hard to know what Makayla Gardner was thinking."

Amber took a breath and said, "Wow, I can't believe it."

"Well," Jared continued, "We weren't back together at the time, and it was none of our business, so I didn't tell you."

Amber fell silent for a moment, not sure what to say or whether she should feel sorry for Hayden Cohen, who was being targeted by Makayla Gardner. Besides, she was amused.

"According to what you just said, Makayla Gardner has been in love with Hayden Cohen for a long time." Amber ate the dish the man had just handed her.

Jared took a sip of wine, "Maybe. On White Day, it was two weeks after Makayla Gardner took a paternity test with Mrs. Gardner in front of us. Before that, Makayla Gardner had intermittently run into Hayden Cohen. So, by analogy, Makayla Gardner would have liked Hayden Cohen shortly after she met him."

"Was it during their time together?" Amber opened her eyes wide.

Jared paused and looked at her, "You know that?"

Amber nodded, "As you know, the reason we found Makayla Gardner in the first place was to get Makayla Gardner to go undercover with the Gardner family, but we couldn't just let her do it as soon as we found her, there had to be a period of training, to get Makayla Gardner to know the Gardner family. And the person in charge of the training was not me, it was Hayden Cohen. During the training period, Hayden Cohen met with Makayla Gardner almost every day, so it is possible that Makayla Gardner would fall for Hayden Cohen after a long time together. To put it crudely, Makayla Gardner never had the chance to meet a man as wonderful as Hayden Cohen. And when she did, she naturally would fall for him."

"I think so." Jared lifted his chin.

Amber touched her forehead, "I had no idea what Hayden Cohen and I had planned would go so wrong. Not only did we help the Gardner family get their daughter back, we also got Hayden Cohen tangled up with Makayla Gardner. I guess Hayden Cohen regrets it now."

Even she regretted it, not to mention Hayden Cohen.

She was clearly trying to plant an undercover man in the Gardner family, so she could bring them down.

What she didn't realize was that she was actually helping the Gardner family.

Now she was very vexed when she thought about it.

Jared's eyes twinkled and he didn't say a word. He quietly filled her plate with more food.

Amber sighed, "Hayden Cohen and I are partners, and he didn't even tell me about it."

"He didn't tell you because he didn't want you to feel guilty, because the two of you planned this whole Makayla Gardner thing together." Jared said.

Amber smiled, "Yeah, which is why I'm kicking myself now."

"You don't have to. After all, you never think about the future, do you?" Jared stroked her hair reassuringly.

Amber squeezed the corners of her mouth and didn't say anything.

Jared put folks down, leaned on his head and smiled at her, "Now you believe Makayla Gardner isn't into me?"

Amber gave him a sulky look, "At first, when I saw what Makayla Gardner was doing, I did wonder if Makayla Gardner was into you, and that's why she was jealous of me. As for her nervousness, I wondered if she was thinking about making a move on you, which was why she was so nervous when she saw me. I was going to come back and argue with you for that."

Jared was stunned and then chuckled, "Then I would have been wronged."

Amber blushed with embarrassment, "Yeah, I did think Makayla Gardner had a crush on you at first. But after I left the bathroom, Makayla Gardner followed me, watching me from behind, looking very nervous the whole time. It wasn't until I was in this room that she was relieved, and so I knew right then that Makayla Gardner wasn't nervous because she liked you, it was because there was something in the restaurant that she didn't want me to know, that she was following me, watching me. Jared, what do you think made Makayla Gardner so nervous in that restaurant, so nervous that she wanted to kick me out of here, and then she just kept staring at me when I didn't leave?"

"She kicked you out here?" Jared was a little angry.

Amber nodded, "Yeah, in the bathroom, she just told me to leave the restaurant. How ridiculous it is! She doesn't own this restaurant. How dare she tell me to leave?"

Jared looked angrier, "If anyone's gonna leave, it's gonna be her. How did she get to kick others out?"

And the one she was kicking out was his girlfriend.

How dare Judy Lashley!

Amber, unaware that the man had a grudge against Makayla Gardner, nodded, "Yeah, I told her exactly that, and she looked so funny."

"And then?" Looking at the smile on the woman's face, Jared's furrowed brow was slightly better. He asked, taking a tissue, and gently wiping the corners of her mouth.

Amber took a sip of the soup, "Then I left the bathroom and came back here. She was right behind me, and I knew it wasn't because she liked you that she was nervous about me, but what was there in the restaurant that she didn't want me to see. Reassured that I had seen nothing, she went into her own compartment. And she had a very complicated look at her room before she entered it. I can't tell you what kind of complexity it is. Anyway, my guess is that whatever Makayla Gardner didn't want me to see, it was in her room. What do you think was in her room?"

Jared dropped his eyes and didn't say anything.

What was in Makayla Gardner's room that made her so scared?

All over Olkmore, there was only one thing, and that was Trenton Gardner and his wife.

What a coincidence. Amber suddenly wanted to eat Southern Cuisine and Trenton Gardner and his wife were here.

Maybe it was the idea of Mrs. Gardner. She was from South Riverside and she must like Southern Cuisine.

So, it was not surprising that they were here.

Amber, an Olkmore native, liked Southern Cuisine, which was a bit strange, although it could be interpreted as a personal preference.

There was no rule, after all, that people from Olkmore couldn't like to eat food from other places.

But with so many Makayla Gardner-like features, Amber now had a taste for Southern Cuisine. If Trenton Gardner and his wife saw this, they would begin to suspect Amber again.

Makayla Gardner might have asked Amber to leave the restaurant in order to prevent this from happening, because she was afraid Amber would meet Trenton Gardner and his wife.

Amber did not leave as Makayla Gardner asked, and Makayla Gardner did not dare to force Amber out. In that case, Makayla Gardner would have to follow Amber to see if Amber would run into Trenton Gardner and his wife.

Makayla Gardner was certainly relieved that Amber did not meet them until she returned to her room.

"What's on your mind?" Amber nudged the man when she saw that he looked confused.

The man's eyes flickered, and then he subdued himself with a faint smile, "Nothing. I was just thinking that the people in Makayla Gardner's room were probably Trenton Gardner and his wife."

"Trenton Gardner and his wife?" Amber exclaimed.
