Chapter 123 Whose Child
Jared fell silent.
He rubbed his temples with one hand, “Forget it. Just let it go.”
She didn’t know who she asked to do it! Could he still force her to take out the bag?
“I’m sorry, Jared. I made trouble again.” Makenna bit her lip in remorse, and said with red eyes.
Seeing her like this, Jared tried to soften his voice, “It’s none of your fault. Don’t take it to heart.”
“Yes, Makenna, listen to Jared.” Trenton advised.
Mrs. Gardner also nodded.
Seeing everyone comforting herself, Makenna smiled, “Okay, I see.”
“By the way, Jared, how are you going to solve Makenna’s case?” Trenton looked at Jared and asked.
Jared lowered his eyes, “You will know tomorrow.”
Seeing that he was reluctant to say more, although Trenton was a little unhappy, he didn’t ask
anymore.
It was quiet all the way. After half an hour, they arrived.
Makenna and her parents got out of the car.
Jared rolled down the car window and looked at them, “Please take good care of Makenna.”
“Don’t worry.” Mrs. Gardner stroked Makenna’s head and replied with a smile.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
Although Trenton didn’t speak, the meaning in his eyes was the same as Mrs. Gardner’s.
Jared looked at Makenna again, “Have a good rest at home. I’ll pick you up on the weekend.”
“Okay, Jared, bye.” Makenna nodded.
Jared turned around and drove away.
Soon, he went back to the Farrell Group.
Ben walked into the office with a document, looking complicated, “Mr. Farrell.”
“What’s the matter?” Jared asked without looking up, staring at the computer screen.
Ben stood in front of his desk, took a deep breath and said, “I have already figured out Miss Reed’s
physical
condition.”
Jared stopped typing on the keyboard. Then he looked up at Ben, “So?”
“She… she’s pregnant.” Ben replied with a weird face.
Jared was stunned suddenly. It took a few seconds for him to come to his senses. There was
undisguised surprise in his voice, “What did you say? She is pregnant?”
“Yes, more than a month.” Ben nodded.
It was only been over a month since Miss Reed and Mr. Farrell divorced.
It could be seen that as soon as Miss Reed got divorced with Mr. Farrell, she had sex with Mr. Lyon..
Jared closed his eyes so that others couldn’t see the emotions in his eyes. But there was a storm in his
heart.
Over a month…
He and Amber had only been separated by more than a month since that night, so was it possible that
the child was his?
His heart beat faster. Jared’s hand on the mouse couldn’t help tightening, which showed that he was
anxious at the moment.
Ben didn’t feel it strange when he saw it.
He knew very well that Mr. Farrell also had feelings for Miss Reed.
So now when Mr. Farrell learned that Miss Reed was pregnant, he definitely couldn’t calm down.
Just thinking about it, Ben saw Jared suddenly stand up, “Is there any way to know in advance who is
the child’s father?”
“Yes, amniocentesis, but there is a great risk of miscarriage. Mr. Farrell, why are you asking this?” Ben
was
curious.
Jared didn’t answer. He frowned tightly.
Looking at his face, Ben suddenly had a bold guess. His eyes widened, “Mr. Farrell, do you suspect
that the child is yours?”
Jared glanced at him and nodded slightly.
Ben felt speechless.
The day before the divorce, the two of them still had sex.
He was shocked.
“Is there any other way besides amniocentesis?” Jared looked at Ben and asked again.
Since amniocentesis was dangerous, he definitely wouldn’t let Amber take risks.
Ben shook his head, “No. We can only find out after the child is born.”
Jared pursed his lips, feeling somewhat dissatisfied with the answer.
Ben looked at him carefully, “Mr. Farrell, don’t worry. What if the child is not yours, but Mr. Lyon’s?”
Hearing this, Jared’s face turned so grim and livid.
Although he knew that the child was not necessarily his, thinking that it might be someone else’s, he
was inexplicably exasperated.
Jared pulled his tie and said in a low voice, “Arrange someone to watch Amber and try to find out who
is the
child’s father.”
“Got it.” Ben nodded, then turned around and went out.
Jared was left in the office.
He supported his forehead with one hand. He squinted his eyes slightly. All his mind was about
Amber’s pregnancy. He could no longer concentrate on his work.
It was not until after getting off work that he stood up, grabbed the jacket on the back of the chair, and
walked out of the office.
Jared did not return to the Farrell’s Mansion, but drove to Kelsington Bay.
In fact, he himself didn’t know why he came here. After he reacted, he was already here.
The car stopped downstairs of Amber’s apartment, but Jared did not get off the car.
He rolled down the window, lit a cigarette, and smoked.
The smoke rose, covering his face, making it difficult to see his face, giving others a mysterious feeling.
Boom!
A sudden struck of lightning, thunder rumbled, a gust of wind blowing.
Immediately afterwards, the raindrops fell down. Soon the road was wet, and some rains even floated
directly into the car window, wetting Jared’s shoulders.
He frowned, dropped the cigarette butt in his hand, closed the car window, opened the car door, and
walked towards the apartment building.
Amber had just finished taking a shower. She was sitting on the sofa comfortably, with the heater on,
and reading. the books about energy.
Suddenly, the doorbell rang.
“Huh?” Amber turned her head suspiciously and looked towards the door.
It was so late. Who was it?
Amber closed the book in her hand, got up and walked over. After opening the door, she raised her
eyebrows in
surprise, “It’s you?”
Jared stood outside the door.
He got wet. His hair was wet in strands, and his shoulders were wet.
Maybe it was too cold, so his face was pale.
It was the first time that Amber saw him so embarrassed. For a while, she felt a little surprised.
“It’s me.” Jared raised his hand and patted away the water droplets on his shoulders, replying hoarsely.
Amber heard that his voice was different from usual. Her eyes flickered, but soon returned to normal,
“What’s the matter? If you still want me to spare Makenna, forget it.”
“No.” Jared sighed.
Amber snorted suspiciously, “So what are you doing here!?”
Jared didn’t speak. His eyes moved down and fixed on her lower abdomen.
It was so flat and tight. It was hard to imagine that a little life could be bred in it.
Maybe it was his kid.
Thinking of it, Jared felt somehow joyful. The look in his eyes became affectionate.
Amber didn’t know what he was thinking, but she also felt that the look in his eyes was very weird, so
she couldn’t help but took a step back, “What are you looking at!?”
Jared opened his mouth, as if he was about to say something, but suddenly he felt dizzy and lost his
balance.
Finally, he barely held onto the door frame to stand firmly.
Amber also realized that something was wrong with him at this time. His pale face turned red now, and
even his pupils were a little out of focus.
“Hey, are you okay?” Amber reached out and waved in front of Jared.
Jared lowered his head and didn’t answer.
Hearing his shortness of breath, Amber realized that he was probably sick, so she put her hand on his
forehead.
Jared froze for a moment and looked up at her, “You…”
“You have a fever!” Amber interrupted him in surprise.
