Chapter 139 Hickey on Neck
Hayden was not angry. He chuckled, drank beer, walked to the sofa, and turned on the TV.
Soon, everyone except Amber got up and went downstairs.
Makenna felt uncomfortable when she saw them greeting each other but ignoring her and Jared.
Couldn’t she see that they were deliberately excluding her and Jared?
“Mr. Lyon, hasn’t Ms. Reed got up yet?” Stella suddenly asked.
Something flickered in Jared’s eyes, but he quickly returned to normal.
“No, she was tired from cooking last night. Let her sleep a little longer.” Cole opened a bottle of beer and answered.
Stella nodded, without asking any more questions.
Soon, the chef came over and informed everyone that breakfast was ready.
Then they left the living room and went to the dining room.
Amber didn’t come down yet.
Cole looked at his watch and stood up from the chair. “You guys eat first. I’ll go upstairs and wake Amber up.”
“Go ahead.” Hayden waved his hand and motioned for him to go.
Seeing this, Logan muttered with dissatisfaction, “Why should he go?”
Hayden laughed. “He is Amber’s boyfriend, understand?”
“Humph, in what way does he think he is suitable to be Amber’s boyfriend? Logan said with a dark face.
Hayden sneered, “He is not suitable, so you are? You are too young to think about women”
Logan blushed and stood up angrily. He said loudly, “I’m not thinking about women!”
“If you don’t want a woman, then why are you dissatisfied with the man who Amber is with?” Hayden held his head and looked at him with a wry smile.
“I… I just feel that they are not suitable to be together.” Logan replied evasively.
Jared, who was sitting at next table, rubbed his coffee cup and lowered his eyelids.
He had the same opinion.
As early as when Cole and Amber were together, he thought that they were not suitable for each other.
Makenna saw Jared’s actions and guessed what he was thinking. She bit her lip and felt a surge of jealousy in her heart. However, she smiled and said, “Logan, you’re wrong. Miss Reed and Mr. Lyon grew up together and know each other best. No one is more suitable to be together than them.”
“But I heard that most childhood sweethearts are not suitable for each other because they know each other too well.” Logan retorted impatiently.
Makenna frowned but she quickly smiled again. “Well, but it’s not absolute.”
“Anyway, I just feel that they are not suitable.” Logan poked the sandwich on the plate with a fork and said, “Just like you and my brother are not suitable for each other.”
The expression froze on Makenna’s face. She hadn’t expected him to suddenly target her. She hated him inwardly.
Hayden and Stella burst out laughing.
After all, Makenna’s expression was just too funny.
They couldn’t help it.
“Jared…”Makenna looked at the man beside her with grievance.
Jared rubbed his eyebrows and scolded Logan unhappily, “That’s enough. Have your meal. Whether Amber and Cole are suitable for each other is their business, not yours.”
Logan’s mouth twitched and he fell silent.
On the third floor, Cole was at the door of Amber’s room. He knocked on the door. “Baby, are you up?”
Inside the room, Amber’s brows twitched. The next moment, she opened her eyes.
She looked at the white ceiling and touched the quilt on her body. She was a little confused.
She remembered that she had fallen asleep downstairs last night. Why was she in the room when she woke up?
So, how did she come back?
“Baby?” The knocking on the door continued.
Amber’s thoughts were interrupted. She patted her cheeks and sat up. “Yes?”
Hearing her response, Cole withdrew the hand that was about to open the door and said loudly, “The breakfast is ready. I’m coming to call you down for breakfast.”
“I see. You go first. I’m coming soon.” Amber yawned and answered lazily.
Cole nodded. “Okay, hurry up. The breakfast will be cold soon.”
“All right.” Amber replied.
Cole turned and left.
When Amber heard the footsteps gradually disappear, she lifted the quilt, got out of bed, went to the French window, and drew the curtain.
The dazzling sunshine came in. Amber couldn’t help raising her hand over her eyes and narrowing her eyes.
After a long while, she slowly opened her eyes again.
The rain had cleared outside and the sun was shining.
Amber opened the window. Smelling the faint smell of grass after the rain, she smiled happily. Then she stretched herself and went to the bathroom to wash up.
“Hmm?” While brushing her teeth, she suddenly saw a small red mark on her neck from the mirror. The color was quite deep, making it difficult to be ignored.
Amber touched it but there was no lump of mosquito bites.
She was not an inexperienced virgin. Last time, Z left a lot of marks on her body, which were exactly the same as the one on her neck now.
Therefore, she was very sure that the mark on her neck was the hickey left by someone.
Amber instantly thought of one man, Jared.
Last night, she fell asleep on the first floor, and he was there at that time.
So she should have been sent back to the room by him, and the mark on her neck was very likely done by him.
At the thought of this, Amber pursed her red lips tightly. There was an extremely complicated feeling in her heart, both anger and other emotions.
After a while, she patted her cheeks irritably, spat out the foam in her mouth, and hurriedly wiped it. She went back to the room to get changed and put on makeup, covering the mark on her neck with thick powder. After making sure that the mark could not be noticed unless it was closely looked at, she opened the door and went downstairs.© NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
“Baby, you’re finally here.” When Cole saw Amber coming over, he quickly pulled out the chair beside him.
Hayden, Logan, and Stella also nodded.
Amber smiled at them embarrassedly. “Sorry for keeping you waiting.”
“That’s all right. Sit down and have breakfast.” Cole patted the chair beside him.
Amber sat down, picked up the knife and fork, and began to eat.
During the meal, she looked at Jared several times, as if she wanted to discover something.
But Jared was as cold as ever, so she couldn’t see anything.
After the meal, Hayden suddenly stood up and clapped his hands. “Guys, how about we go hiking later? I heard that there is a viewing platform on the mountain. It has a good view there.”
“Jared, let’s go, shall we?” Makenna held the man’s arm and looked at him expectantly.
Not bearing to see her disappointment, Jared nodded.
“Good. Now, two are going. Anyone else?” Hayden looked at Amber and the others.
“Baby, do you want to go?” Cole tilted his face and asked Amber.
Jared also glanced at her.
“What about you?” Amber asked in reply.
Cole said with a smile, “I’ll go if you go. If you don’t, I’ll stay here with you.”
“Then let’s go. Anyway, we’re here. It’s a pity not to go.” She thought for a moment and said.
For some reason, Jared felt inexplicably happy when he heard that Amber would go as well, but he didn’t show it on his face.
Logan raised his hand in a hurry and said, “Since Amber is going, I’m going too.”
Stella scratched her hair and said lazily, “All of you are going. It’s meaningless for me to stay here alone. I’ll go too.”
