Chapter 38 Pay off My Bet

Jared who dressed in a black cloak entered. His attractive features and cool demeanor still cause a flutter in Amber’s emotions. She locked her gaze on him for a few moments before lowering her head.

Even after their divorce, he was still able to influence her emotional state.

“Hello Mr. Farrell,” Chloe, the second person to see Jared greeted him. “Makenna mentioned that you are busy working, yet, you are still here to pick her up?”

Jared responded with a simple nod and was slightly annoyed seeing Amber.

Did she forget what happened previously at Red Plum Club?

He didn’t believe Hayden when he told him Amber and Makenna were playing poker. He knew Amber sucked at poker and wouldn’t do something stupid like playing with Makenna. But Hayden managed to lure him here by sending him a photograph.

“Didn’t you mention you were coughing this afternoon?” Jared asked Makenna, who was looking a little pale. “Why are you here instead of resting?” He asked softly.

“It’s not something serious,” Makenna said with a smile, “And I want to welcome Gigi to our city.”

Jared had heard about Gigi from South Riverside and he knew Mel Garland.

He took off his scarf and put it around Makenna’s neck, causing the other ladies to look at her

enviously.

“Mr. Farrell, we know you care so much about Makenna but it’s warm in here, she isn’t that cold,” Chloe said, “But your care for her makes us envy.”

“Get out you,” Makenna joked as she flushed at Chloe’s words.

“All right, I’ll shut up.”

Jared’s acts, such as putting the scarf around Makenna’s neck and bringing her hot beverage,

were like sharp blades stabbing Amber’s heart.

When Makenna challenged her for a deal, she wanted her to leave Jared and never return to Olkmore, but after seeing how Jared treated her, she changed her mind.

“Ms. Reed’s isn’t good at poker,” Jared said, sweeping his gaze over Amber’s cards. “It’s no
