Chapter 788 A Call from Logan
“Yeah, just awake.” Amber nodded.
She was dizzy and limp since she slept too long in the daytime, and she couldn’t even walk steadily.
Frowning at this, Jared quickly walked to Amber, put his arm around her shoulders so that she could
lean on him, and looked down at her concernedly, asking, “Are you okay? What ails you?”
“Nothing,” Amber answered with a smile, “I am still dizzy from sleeping. I think it will be better if I rest
for a while.”
Though she said so, Jared was still worrying and didn’t feel relieved until he put his hand on her
forehead to make sure it wasn’t a fever.
“I have told you not to lie down but walk around, haven’t I? It was you who insisted to lie on the sofa.”
Jared flicked her forehead warningly.
Covering her forehead with her hands, Amber smiled and said, “Okay, it’s all my fault. But the seafood
is so delicious and I am too well-fed that I amzy to move around. I won’t do that again.”

“Oh, don’t you ever think about it,” Jared grumbled. “I will remind you the next time. Sit down on the
sofa and have a rest and when you feel better, we can have dinner.”
“Sure.” Amber nodded.
Jared helped her to the sofa and got her a ss of water. Amber took a sip and she could feel the
warm water running from her throat all the way down to her stomach. Then, the warmth dispersed from
the stomach to the whole body, which made her feel better.
“Oh, wait, Jared. Why did you squat in front of the washing machine just now?” Amber pointed at the
washing machine and asked.
There was a glint of embarrassment in Jared’s eyes, but he answered calmly, “I was preparing to wash
the clothes.”
“Why, you just put the clothes into the machine and switch it on. Why would you squat in front of it?”
Amber was bewildered.
Jared knew he had to tell the truth or she would keep asking. So, clearing his throat, he said, “Well, I
have searched on the Inte and it seems like the washing machine should be spinning while it is
washing clothes. But I didn’t see it spinning after waiting for a long time. I think the machine must be
broken.”
Twitching the corner of her mouth, Amber retorted, “Are you sure? Does it ever ur to you that it is
not working because you don’t know how to use it?”
The room suddenly fell into a dead silence.
After a while, Amber covered her mouth andughed happily, “I think it is because you don’t know how
to use it.”
Still embarrassed, Jared had to admit, “Well…I have never used it before.”
“I see.” Amber didn’t make fun of him but patted him on his shoulders. She knew that his clothes will be
handled by the housekeeper while expensive clothes will be maintained by their designers and
unnecessary clothes will be thrown away. It turned out he didn’t really need a washing machine so she
could understand why he didn’t know how to use it.
“Sorry, I think sometimes I am just an idiot,” Jared said, rubbing his eyebrows. He thought himself an
idiot without some basicmon knowledge.
But Amber said smilingly, “Hey, don’t say that. You are the smartest person I have ever met. If you are
so clumsy as you said, how can you be so sessful and make such arge fortune? It is because
you are rich that you can hire others to take care of the housework and that’s the dream life of most
people. So, don’t you ever say yourself an idiot. You can earn money. You know how to cook. And, hey,
you know how to crack a crab. I don’t think there is any sessful businessman who knows so many
skills and can take care of his career and family at the same time. So, cheer up, you are the best.”
Jared’s ears turned red at Amber’spliments and he had forgotten all about the embarrassment.
Pressing his lips together, he gave out a cough as if to hide his shyness and he said in a low voice,
“Yeah, I get you. Just stop it. You must be hungry. I will go get the dishes for you.” Then, he walked to
the kitchen, steering by the sofa.
Watching him walking away, Amber raised her eyebrow. It is such a pity that he escaped from her since
it would be so rare for Amber to see him being shy. Shaking her head at her ridiculous thought, Amber
came to the washing machine. She had to check on the machine because she was afraid that Jared,
who didn’t know how to use it, had actually broken it.
Opening it, Amber first looked at the clothes inside the machine, which were all hers and had been in
there for three days. She had prepared to clean them yesterday but when she heard the bad news that
Jared had a car ident, she went to him immediately, forgetting all about theundry.
It turned out that Jared spotted the clothes and wanted to help her with theundry. Amber smiled and
thought, “Well, is Jared going to take on all the housework for me?”
Then she began to figure out why Jared said the machine wasn’t spinning and finally she found that
Jared didn’t switch on the bottom to let in the water. The machine wouldn’t start working without water
in it. After a while, she also found that he didn’t even addundry detergent. What was he thinking? He
must have expected that doingundry was to throw the clothes into the washing machine and all was
done.
Amber sighed, switched on the button, and added detergent andundry beads before going back to
the sofa and opening the television.
Not long after opening the television, Amber’s phone rang.
Amber took it directly without looking at the screen. “Hello, this is Amber.”
“Hey, Amber! Wait, wait, no, sister-inw!” The person on the other side of the phone said in a loud
voice which shocked Amber.
Who was this guy? Why would he call her sister-inw?
Amber frowned and she thought the person must have called the wrong number. But when she was
about to hang up, she nced at the screen and saw it was from Logan. She was surprised since
Logan had gone abroad for apetition for two or three months, and he didn’t contact her since then,
while she didn’t hear others mention him either.
At first, she thought she didn’t recognize him because she had not seen him for so long and had
forgotten about his voice but then she realized it was because Logan was at the age of puberty and his
voice was also changing. When he went abroad, his voice was still hoarse but it sounded brisker and
more pleasant. So, no wonder she didn’t recognize him at the beginning.
Amber put the phone back to her ear and said, “What are you talking about, Logan? I am not your
sister-inw.”
While on the other side of the phone, Logan was resting in the changing room just after the semi-final.
He sprawled on the bench, wearing a loose basketball jersey with a towel around his neck, and was
now wiping the sweat on his face with one hand while holding the phone with the other. His face, which
had been round and innocent, now became hard and angr. The muscles on his arms and legs were
firmed up and he looked much stronger than before. He was growing up from a boy into a man.
Logan grinned happily with excitement writtenrge on his face, and he said, “Stop distracting me. I
know you have been together with my brother again. So, you are my sister-inw undoubtedly.”
Amber could tell Logan must be quite satisfied with his witty response and she couldn’t help but roll her
eyes. “Well, when I was your brother’s wife, you never called me sister-inw. Now we are together
again after the divorce and you be so active this time. What’s wrong with you?”
Logan knew Amber was taunting him but he didn’t get mad. If it had been months ago, he must feel his
self-esteem being offended and would certainly lose his temper since he had always been doted by
others and would never control his bad temper. However, after entering society, he became more
mature and more tolerant.
So, he responded to the taunt with good-naturedughter and said, “Oh, you still remember that, my
dear sister-inw. You should know that I was deceived by Makenna by then.”
