Chapter 819 Don’t Want To Bother Him
“Something weird?” Amber straightened up and frowned, “what do you mean?”
She asked tentatively.
She didn’t know why he would ask her that.
Braylee did say something weird to her in court and she asked her if she wanted to know who her real
parents were.
Was Jared asking about that?
Jared could sense Amber was feeling suspicious from the phone. He looked down and said, “I’m just
wondering if she cursed at you or threatened you.”
“That’s what you meant.” Amber stopped frowning and was relieved.
She thought he was afraid that she might know something.
Jared pursed his lips and said, “Yeah, what else do you think I meant?”
“Never mind. I was just overthinking it,” Amber smiled as she waved her hand and said, “of course she
cursed at me. You know how much she hates me. Of course she would flip out when she saw me.”
Jared said, “You’re right. Did she do anything else besides that?”
Amber shook her head, “No. She wanted toe at me but the police officers were there and she was
handcuffed. So I was safe.”
“Good.” Jared nodded and was in relief.
Even though he didn’t ask her directly if Braylee said anything about her birth parents.
But based on what she said and her tone, he could tell Braylee didn’t tell her.
If she told her about her real parents, she wouldn’t be so calm.
Anyway, since Braylee didn’t say anything, he was relieved.
He knew Braylee wanted to seek revenge from Amber by telling Amber who her real parents were to
crash Amber’s will to destroy the Farrell family and make her desperate.
He could have prevented Braylee from meeting andmunicating with people outside the jail and in
custody, but couldn’t prevent her from meeting Amber in court.
So, in case Braylee told Amber the fact in court, he asked people from the court to keep an eye on
Braylee. They must not let Braylee get close to Amber, and they must not let Braylee tell Amber
anything about her birth parents.
Today’s court hearing had kept him in a state of high tension. Because he did not go to the court
himself, he did not know whether the people at the scene would keep an eye on Braylee as he ordered,
so today he was a little distracted at work, checking the time every now and then.
When he thought the trial was over, he called Amber to feel it out.
In those few seconds when Amber didn’t answer the phone right away, he worried that she had taken
so long to answer the phone because she found out who her birth parents were and was having a
meltdown.
Fortunately, the result was not as bad as he thought.
Thinking of that, Jared held his forehead with one hand and finally calmed down.
“Okay, Jared, I gotta go. Hayden and I still have business to talk about and you have a meetingter. I
won’t take your time now. We can talk when wee back home tonight,” Amber took a look at
Hayden who was getting bored and said over the phone.
Jared heard she called his name and was surprised. His heart melted and he said excitedly, “What did
you just call me?”
Did he just call him by his first name?
Ever since the divorce, she would only call him Mr. Farrell like they were strangers.
Even after they got back together, she wouldn’t call him Jared.
In the past he didn’t feel it was inappropriate to call him by his full name. But now that she called him
Jared, he suddenly realized that calling him Jared seemed far more intimate.
Humans were always greedy. Jared found out he couldn’t ept it if she called him by his full name
now. After she called him Jared once, he wanted her to only call him that.
Amber was smart to tell how happy the man was and why.
It was just a name. Why would he be so thrilled?
Wasn’t he a little too easy to satisfied?
Amber chuckled and shook her head. And then she responded, “I did call you Jared.”
It wasn’t a coincidence.
And he didn’t hear it wrong.
She called him that sincerely.
Jared smiled and his voice became hoarse out of excitement but it still sounded sexy, “I like it when you
call me that. Can you call me Jared from now on?”
He asked with hope.
Amber didn’t want to let him down and nodded without any hesitation, “Okay.”
Jared smiled even more.
They said goodbye to each other and then ended the call.

Hayden saw how happy Amber were when she hung up the phone. He felt jealous but he pretended he
was grossed out and shook a little, “Enough, you two. Why are you so clingy when you’re on the
phone? That’s disturbing.”
Then he rubbed his belly.
Amber looked at him and coughed embarrassedly, “It’s not that bad. I don’t think it’s clingy at all.”
“Of course you don’t,” Hayden pursed his lips, “because you’re part of it too. By the way, did you and
Jared mention me?”
He looked at her as he asked that question.
Amber nodded.
Hayden yed with his coffee spoon and asked, “Did Jared say anything bad about me?”
Amber raised her eyebrows, “You guessed that?”
“Huh,” Hayden rolled his eyes, “I’ve been friends with him for twenty years. I know him too well. You
just told him you and I met up. He gets jealous all the time so of course he would talk trash about me.
Tell me, what did he say about me?”
Amber took a sip of her ck tea and said, “Nothing. He just said you’re not a nice person and told me
not to spend too much time with you and toe back home soon.”
Hayden grunted, “He said I’m not nice? This guy...”
“Never mind, “Hayden waved his hands, “since I’ve also said some bad things about it, I’m gonna let
that slide. Let’s call it even. But Amber, I want to know why you didn’t tell him that we met up for the
genes of Braylee’s child. Why did you lie? You didn’t tell him about asking me to find the suitable
genes?”
He looked a bit serious.
Amber nodded, “Yeah, I didn’t tell him.”
“Why?” Hayden was confused.
Amber leaned back and said calmly, “Because I don’t wanna cause him any trouble. I know you’ll be
confused. He’s my boyfriend and it’s okay if I ask for help. Why would I say I don’t wanna bother him?”
“Yeah,” Hayden nodded, “that’s what I’ve been thinking.”
Amber smiled, “It’s simple. I don’t wanna own him any favors. Before we got back together, Jared had
helped me and saved me multiple times. I owned him too much and I don’t wanna own him more
favors.”
