Love Letters From My EX

Standing in the cold wind near the car and talking on the phone, Amber felt dizzy and she staggered a little.

Jared looked sullen, directly took the phone from her and hung up. Then he carried her and went to the other side of the car.

She was startled by his action and almost dropped her umbrella. While gripping his shirt with one hand, she exclaimed, “Jared Farrell, put me down!”

He ignored her, pulled open the door to the passenger seat and shoved her in.

“Mr. Farrell, what do you want?” Seeing him pulling the seat belt, she said with a cold face, “I can find a driver, and I don’t need your care!”

In their six years of marriage, they had never talked much, and he never cared for her. But after getting a divorce, within a few days, they met each other several times.

When did Olkmore City become so small?

Seeing her uncomfortable but stubborn look, he got more displeased and said, “The weather is not good and no driver will take your order.”

“That’s not your business.”

“Amber.” He leaned towards her and met her eyes. “Do you have to be so stubborn?”

The space inside the car was small. When he leaned over, she had nowhere to hide.

She got colder, her face paler. When she was about to say something, she suddenly noticed that his back got wet because he did not use an umbrella when carrying her.

Feeling somehow a bit shocked, she quickly looked away without saying anything.

He glanced at her and continued to pull the seat belt over. Because they were close, he accidently touched her heaving chest with his fingers.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

They both froze.

She reacted first, snatched the seat belt from him and inserted it in the safety buckle.

He swallowed, “Sorry.”

“It’s okay. I know you did not mean it, Mr. Farrell.” Thinking of what Mr. Yates said at the card table, she couldn’t help but mock Jared, “Mr. Farrell, you are just a rare ‘saint’ for centuries!”

Hearing her taunt, he only frowned, quickly got into the driver’s seat and started the car.

He asked, “What’s the address?”

“Kelsington Bay,” she replied succinctly and then looked out of the window with her hand under her chin.

They no longer spoke to each other. It was silent in the car and they could hear the subtle swaying sound of wipers.

She felt uncomfortable from the rain.

Due to the warm air inside the car, she soon felt dizzy and drowsy.

The car arrived at Kelsington Bay but Jared did not know which building she lived in. When he noticed her red cheeks, he guessed she probably had caught a cold. So he got off the car and bought some medicine.

“Amber.” He patted her face and said, “Just take the medicine.”

He called her name several times but she did not respond. Hearing her coughs, he put the medicine in his mouth first and cupped her jaw, leaned closer to her and fed the medicine into her mouth.

Her lips were cold but soft. He felt some kind of temptation and wanted to go deeper.

Suddenly, his phone on the armrest vibrated.

He returned to his senses, glancing at her slightly swollen lips and realizing what he had done. Feeling a bit flustered, he took over his phone.

“Jared, have you finished with your business?” Makenna’s soft voice came on the phone.

“Yes.”

“Then can you come to pick me and Aunt Shonna up from Outlets?” She said, “I came out with Aunt Shonna to do shopping and it rained suddenly. The driver went to pick up Logan from school and I had to call you,” she explained.

He looked towards Amber in the passenger seat and lowered his voice, “Okay. I will be there in fifteen minutes.”

“Okay, be careful when you drive.”

There was a faint perfume smell in the car. It was Amber’s favorite perfume. The more he smelled it, the more irritated he became.

He got out of the car with an umbrella and called Ben, telling him that he was at the south gate of Kelsington Bay.

About five minutes later, Ben arrived.

“Mr. Farrell.” Ben came over with some clothes and was a little surprised to see him standing by a car.

Wasn’t this Miss Reed’s car?

Jared took the clothes and the car keys, turned around and took a look at the car. “You drive her car and send her to Grand Hyatt. Ask the waitress to take her body temperature.”

“Okay.” Ben did not ask more questions.

…

On his way to the mall, Amber’s stubborn look occasionally popped up in his mind and those cold but soft lips… It made him fidgety.

He wound down the car window to let the cold breeze sweep by him, trying to calm down.

After arriving at the mall, he immediately spotted Makenna and his mother at the entrance. They both had several shopping bags in their hands.

He got off the car with an umbrella and quickly walked over. “It’s so cold, so why don’t you wait inside?”

When Makenna saw him, she showed a slight smile. “We just came outside and saw you here.”

Shonna snickered on the side. “Don’t listen to her. She knew you were coming, so she rushed out to wait for you in advance! Though she bought many things, most of them were for you. She only bought a coat for herself.”

“Auntie.” Makenna was shy with a slightly blushed face. “If you continue saying these things, Jared will think that I am too eager.”

“Come on, we will soon be family. Why are you still calling me auntie?” Shonna said.

Hearing this, Makenna blushed even more.

“It’s so cold outside, so let’s get in the car first.” He took the shopping bags from Makenna and held the umbrella for her.

When she got inside the car, he turned around to pick up his mother.

When Shonna got on the car, she said, “Makenna, see how protective Jared is of you! He let you get on the car first. Well, you are special to him! When you get married in the future, he’ll forget about me.”

Makenna smiled more and for fear of being teased by Shonna again, she turned to Jared and asked, “Is this Ben’s car?”

“Yes.” Jared said in a low voice, “Ben sent my car to the 4S store for maintenance.”

“No wonder you drove his car to pick us up.”

At this time, Shonna said, “Makenna said that you went to Red Plum Club for business and you told her you would bring her the home-made desserts from that place. How many boxes did you buy? Let me try some.”

Jared forgot to buy desserts since he wanted to figure out whether the woman was Amber or not in the private room and then he followed her to leave.

“I was too busy talking about business and I forgot it. But I have the owner’s phone number. I will ask them to send a few boxes to the house tomorrow.”

“Look at you. How can you be so careless?” Shonna scolded him, “Makenna always thinks of you when she’s shopping. She buys you a lot of things but you forget to buy her desserts.”

After that, she took Makenna’s hand and said with a smile, “Makenna, stay at my place and have dinner. Since you just recovered, I will make some soup for you.”

Makenna smiled, “Thank you, Auntie.”

At this time, her phone in the bag vibrated a few times.

She took it out and when she saw the contents and the picture on WhatsApp, her smile froze on her face.
