Love Letters, Divorce Papers (Jared and Amber)
Chapter 974 Reassure Her

"Yes." Jared rubbed the fork, and there was a flash in his eyes, "You do realize that the Trenton Gardner family suspected that you were their daughter, right?"

Amber nodded with a look of annoyance in her eyes, "Yeah, it was at the Braylee's conference that I told the world that I wasn't my parents' real daughter, that my dad had picked me up three days after he took Makayla Gardner, so the Trenton Gardner family suspected that I was Makayla Gardner. It's kind of funny that Makayla Gardner was back with them, and they've taken a paternity test, and they still suspect someone else is Makayla Gardner, which makes me feel kind of sorry for Makayla Gardner."

Watching the sarcasm on her face, Jared felt guilty, but he didn't show it. His expression remained cool, "But there's one thing you don't know."

"What is it?" Amber looked curiously at the man.

The man looked down, "I happened to hear that when Trenton Gardner and his wife suspected that you were Makayla Gardner, Mrs. Gardner once said that she had no feelings for Makayla Gardner. This was heard by Makayla Gardner, and Makayla Gardner reacted violently.

He said he heard it by chance, but it was from the guy he sent to keep an eye on Makayla Gardner.

That was how he knew.

"What?" Amber was stunned at the man's words, "Mrs. Gardner said she had no feelings for Makayla Gardner?"

"Yes."

"How is that possible?" Amber shook her head in disbelief, "I knew that when my father took Makayla Gardner away, Mrs. Gardner was so sick that she had a heart attack. Shouldn't she be happy that Makayla Gardner was back with her, shouldn't she make it up to her and spoil her? How could she not have feelings for this daughter? And I think they usually get along pretty well."

"It's all Made by Mrs. Gardner for people to see." Jared put down his knife and fork, leaned back in his chair, "Mrs. Gardner knew that her attitude was wrong, so even though she had no love for Makayla Gardner, at least she would take on her responsibilities as a mother, so she forced herself to act like she loved Makayla."

"I can't believe it." Amber would not doubt his words. After all, there was no reason for him to lie to her.

Amber sighed, "It's strange that a mother should feel so little affection for her daughter. I really don't understand what Mrs. Gardner was thinking."

Jared didn't answer that.

Because he knew that there was nothing wrong with Mrs. Gardner.

The reason she had no feelings for Makayla Gardner was that Makayla Gardner was never really her daughter.

To be honest, he was surprised at first to learn that Mrs. Gardner had no love for Makayla Gardner, and he had the same doubts as Amber.

But he knew more than Amber did that Makayla Gardner was a fake, not the real Makayla Gardner, after all, the real Makayla Gardner was Amber. So, he soon understood why Mrs. Gardner had no feelings for Makayla Gardner.

It was just mother-daughter thing.

Even if Mrs. Gardner did not know that Makayla Gardner was a fake, her nature prevented her, subconsciously, from having any real affection for a fake.

Amber did not know what was going on in the man's mind. She bit her lip for a few seconds, then suddenly realized something and opened her eyes wide in amazement, "Wait a minute. What Makayla Gardner worried was not me meeting Trenton Gardner and his wife, was it? Because Trenton Gardner and his wife thought that I was Makayla Gardner, and even Mrs. Gardner hurt Makayla Gardner's heart because of that, and Makayla Gardner had never been able to get over it, that's why she wanted kicking me out, that's why she was keeping an eye on me, just in case I ran into Trenton Gardner and his wife, and they would wonder if I am their daughter again?"

Jared nodded, "Probably."

In fact, he initially didn't want to mention that what in Makayla Gardner's room might be Trenton Gardner and his wife, because he was worried that something out of his control might happen when they met. But then he thought about it and gave up the idea. He might as well just tell her about Trenton Gardner and his wife.

If he hadn't, she would have wondered why Makayla Gardner was wary of her, and then had someone inquire about who was in Makayla Gardner's room. Once she learnd that the occupants were Trenton Gardner and his wife, she was gonna wonder why Makayla Gardner didn't want her to see them.

When there was any doubt, she was sure to get to the bottom of it. It could be a problem if she found out something.

So, he might as well have told her it was Trenton Gardner and his wife in the first place and deliberately led her to think otherwise, so that she wouldn't want to investigate it in the first place. Sure enough, Amber's next words let Jared know that he had succeeded.

Amber pursed her lips with a disdainful expression, "What's wrong with her? She's the biological daughter of Trenton Gardner and his wife, and she took a paternity test. I just happen to match the description of Trenton Gardner's daughter, but that doesn't mean I'm their daughter, so why would she be worried?"

She couldn't understand what Makayla Gardner was thinking.

Anyway, she didn't think Makayla Gardner was a normal person.

Seeing that Amber was no longer curious about Makayla Gardner's room, Jared unfurled his brows and stood up.

Amber saw what he was doing and asked automatically, "Are you going to the bathroom?"

"Yes." Jared nodded, "You stay where you are. Don't go out."

Amber glanced at him, "I'm not a kid. You don't have to tell me that. And what does it matter if I'm out? I'm not gonna get lost."

Jared chuckled, "In my heart, you are my child."

His reason for not letting her out was certainly not for fear that she might get lost.

He was afraid she'd accidentally meet Trenton Gardner and his wife.

She wouldn't give it a second thought, but not Trenton Gardner and his wife.

It was better to keep her here just in case.

Amber waved her hand, "Okay, I know. I'm not leaving."

She blushed.

God, what did he mean that she was a child in his heart?

She'd never seen anyone do that to a kid.

Amber blushed at the thought.

Jared didn't notice that. He was thinking about something else. While she waved her hand to urge him, he was already out of the door on his legs.

Outside, Jared took a look at the rows of doors across the room.

He didn't know which room Makayla Gardner was in, but Amber had said it was in the row across from them.

Jared located the two most likely rooms, then pulled out his cell phone and sent a message with a cold expression: Take Trenton Gardner and his family and leave the restaurant. In a very commanding tone.

But it was not objectionable.

After all, he was born superior, and he had the right to command anyone.

After sending the message, Jared took a cigarette out of his pocket, shook it out, lit it, and leaned against the wall next to his room to smoke.

There was no beauty in ordinary men smoking.

But when Jared smoked, he looked really good. There was a touch of grace in his movements, even a touch of depth as he breathed out the smoke.

It was obvious that he was a man with a story.

And people with stories were often the most charming.

Meanwhile, diagonally across the hall, in the Gardner family's compartment.

Makayla Gardner was so preoccupied that she even did not hear Mrs. Gardner call her.

It wasn't until Trenton Gardner nudged her that she came to her senses and her fork fell back onto her plate.
