Married To My Ex-Husband’s Rival by Jobet GraySon

Chapter Seventy

Third Person POV

As the car pulled away from the bustling lights of the party, Richard and Amber found themselves seated in the back, yearning for the peace and quiet that the night would bring. Exhaustion clung to them, their bodies craving rest after a night of tension.

Amber let out a tired sigh, her weariness echoing through the quiet space. “I’m so tired,” she murmured, her voice tinged with fatigue. “And cold too.”

Richard, attuned to her needs, didn’t waste a moment. He reached for his jacket, sliding it off his shoulders and draping it over Amber’s frame.

Amber smiled warmly at his gesture, feeling a comforting warmth envelop her. “Thank you,” she whispered, her gratitude resonating with sincerity.

Closing her eyes, Amber settled deeper into the seat, the exhaustion pulling at her like a gentle tug. Richard watched her, his eyes filled with tenderness and concern. “Do you want to sleep, Amber?”

Nodding in agreement, Amber uttered a sleepy “mmhmm,” her voice heavy with fatigue. “I’m so tired,

Richard,” she admitted.

Richard nodded in response. “Get some sleep, then,” he encouraged. “I’ll wake you up when we get

home.”

Amber expressed her gratitude with a murmur of thanks before allowing herself to succumb to the fatigue that engulfed her. As she drifted into sleep, Richard adjusted himself, sitting back in his seat. His gaze shifted to the passing scenery outside the car, his thoughts consumed by the woman
