Chapter 138 Asleep
The man was not thirsty, but somehow, he nodded and said, “Give me a glass.”
Amber hummed in agreement, then picked up another glass and poured him a glass of water.
“Thank you.” Jared took it.
“That’s all right.” Amber waved her hand and then lowered her head to drink water.
However, Jared didn’t drink the water and kept staring at her.
After drinking the water, Amber put down the cup. Just as she was about to say that she could go back to her room, she suddenly heard a rumble.
She subconsciously looked in the direction of the voice. It was from Jared’s stomach.
Jared didn’t expect his stomach to scream at this time. For the first time, an awkward expression appeared on his usually cold face.
Amber smiled when she saw that. She wanted to laugh.
After all, it was rare to see Jared like this.
“Well…”At this moment, Jared’s Adam’s apple moved and he suddenly spoke.
Amber looked at him and asked, “What’s the matter?”
“Can you help me do something?” Jared lowered his eyes and asked.
Amber raised her eyebrows. “You want me to cook for you?”
“Yes.” Jared nodded.
He was indeed hungry.
Amber pursed her lips, feeling a little ironic.
In the past six years, she went to learn cooking in order to catch his heart, but he never ate hert food or even took a look at them.
But now he took the initiative to ask her to cookfor him, which was ridiculous.
Seeing that Amber hadn’t agreed for a long time, Jared’s eyes dimmed slightly. He was a little disappointed, but he said indifferently, “Just pretend that I didn’t say anything.”
“No, I’ll make it for you.” Amber looked up at him.
Jared was stunned at first, and then looked at her in surprise. “You do?”
Amber nodded. “Just take it as a thank you for lighting up the way for me. Let’s go to the kitchen.”
Jared agreed.Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
The two came to the kitchen.
Amber opened the refrigerator and found that there was nothing left except for a bit vegetable.
She thought for a moment and turned her head.
To her surprise, Jared was standing behind her, bending slightly and looking at the refrigerator with her.
Thus, her lips accidentally touched Jared’s.
Both of them were stunned.
A few seconds later, Jared reacted first. He took a step back, stood straight, and said in a low and hoarse voice, “I’m sorry.”
He did not expect her to suddenly turn around.
Amber blushed and covered her mouth awkwardly. “It’s not your fault. I’m the one who should apologize.”
She only touched him when she turned around.
For a moment, neither of them spoke. The large kitchen became exceptionally quiet, with only the faint sound of breathing.
After a while, Jared’s thin lips moved and he took the initiative to break the silence. “You wanted to ask me something?”
Amber knew that he was taking the initiative to resolve the embarrassment just now, so she no longer remained silent. She nodded and replied, “Well. There’s not much left in the fridge. You care for pasta?”
“Sure.” Jared agreed.
Amber took out a handful of vegetables and walked towards the sink.
Jared followed closely behind her, providing her with illumination.
Soon, a bowl of pasta was ready.
They came to the dining table.
Amber put the noodles on the table and said, “Eat.”
“Thank you.” Jared looked at the mouth-watering pasta and thanked her sincerely.
Amber yawned, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and urged in a sleepy voice, “All right, eat quickly. Send me back to the third floor after eating.”
“Okay.” Looking at her impatient face, Jared inexplicably felt a little cute.
Jared then pulled out his chair and sat down, beginning to eat.
Amber was sitting next to him, supporting her head and waiting for him to finish.
However, after waiting for a while, she yawned more and more frequently, and her eyelids became heavier and heavier. Her head also nodded little by little, looking sleepy.
A smile flashed across Jared’s eyes, which he didn’t even realize. He then sped up eating noodles.
But before he could finish, Amber couldn’t hold on any longer and fell asleep at the table.
Jared was stunned and then burst out laughing.
But soon, he held back his expression, put down his fork, walked to Amber, and gently pushed her. “Amber, wake up, and go upstairs.”
Amber was dreaming that she was caught by a monster. She frowned and pouted, “Don’t touch me, let me go!”
Jared thought that she was awake and subconsciously took his hand away.
But after a while, he didn’t see Amber stand up. He realized that she didn’t wake up at all. She was just talking in her sleep.
Rubbing his eyebrows resignedly, Jared gave up the idea of waking her up. He carried her in his arms and walked upstairs.
When he came to the third floor, he saw a room with the door open. He guessed that it should be Amber’s room.
He went in with Amber in his arms. Under the limited flashlight of his mobile phone, he walked to the bed, and bent down to put Amber on the bed. However, Amber held his neck tightly.
Jared couldn’t stand up. He could only bow down and look at the woman on the bed. He said in a low voice, “Amber, let go.”
“Don’t leave me.” Amber suddenly said with a scare on her face. It seemed that she had a nightmare.
It was the first time that Jared had seen her like this. He was touched and said gently, “Okay, I won’t leave.”
Perhaps because she heard that, the fear on Amber’s face gradually dissipated, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.
Jared stared at her lips and suddenly recalled the unexpected kiss in the kitchen.
Although it was short and light, the soft touch of her lips was deeply engraved in his memory.
He couldn’t help lowering his head and kissing her on the lips.
It was as good as what he remembered, soft and sweet, making him want more.
In fact, Jared did so.
He knelt on one knee on the bed and raised Amber’s chin. The moment her lips parted, his tongue slipped in.
“Hmm…”Her moan was soft and long, with a hint of temptation, which drove Jared to deepen his kiss.
Then Jared felt a little unsatisfied. He stretched out his big hands to Amber.
Even the kiss gradually moved to her neck.
But then, Amber suddenly blurt out, “Cole…”
Jared sobered in an instant as if cold water had been poured over him. His face turned sullen.
He threw Amber’s arm off his neck, stood up straight by the bed, and stared at the woman on the bed gloomily.
She shouted the name of another man under him.
But what annoyed him the most was that he had done something he shouldn’t have done to her again, and this was the third time.
Thinking of this, Jared turned around and left with a gloomy face.
Amber turned over, hugged the quilt, and said again, “Cole, don’t snatch my Spotty…”
That night, Jared did not slept at all. He was thinking about why he had done such things to Amber, and why his mood had been so affected by her that he had become unlike himself.
As a result, when Jared woke up the next day, his face was full of fatigue, with a faint dark blue under his lower eyelids.
Seeing this, Makenna asked with concern, “Jared, didn’t you sleep well last night?”
Just as Jared was about to answer, Hayden came over with a bottle of beer and said, “Hey, Jared, you must have enjoyed your nightlife yesterday. Look at the dark circles under your eyes. You’d better ask the chef to get you some oysters to boost you up. You have to ensure Miss Gardner’s happiness in the future.”
Hearing this, Makenna blushed. She lowered her head in embarrassment.
Jared frowned and snapped at Hayden with a long face. “Get lost!”
