Honey, I Don't Dare Again (Amber and Jared) novel novel Chapter 103

Chapter 103 Cole’s Feelings

“I’m not looking for you. I’m looking for Amber. Is she by your side?” Mrs. Lyon asked back.

Cole looked at Amber, “Yeah.”

“Give the phone to Amber.”

Cole snorted and handed the phone to Amber, “My mother.”

Amber took the phone, “Auntie.”

“Amber, I miss you so much.” Hearing Amber’s voice, Mrs. Lyon was very happy.

Amber was also happy, “Auntie, I miss you too.”

“But you don’t come and see me.” Mrs. Lyon pretended to complain.

Amber stuck out her tongue, “Sorry, I’ve been too busy lately.”

“Then do you have time now? Come to my family for dinner. I’m going to prepare some delicious food for you.” Mrs. Lyon invited Amber for dinner.

Just as Amber was about to speak, Cole, who was eavesdropping on the side, couldn’t help but said, “Mom, I’m taking her to eat seafood.”

“There is no delicious seafood outside! It’s not fresh. If you want to eat seafood, come back here and I’ll cook for

you.” Mrs. Lyon replied.

Amber said, “Okay. Seems like we have to bother you today.”

“Just come back early.” Mrs. Lyon laughed happily when she heard that Amber agreed to come to her place.

After hanging up the phone, Cole took the phone back and looked at Amber helplessly, “Now, we can’t eat the

seafood outside.”

“It’s alright. We can go there next time. Let’s go and buy some presents for your parents.” Amber held his arm and walked towards the car.

The two came to the mall. After looking around, Amber bought a cloak for Mrs. Lyon and a tie for Mr. Lyon before driving to Cole’s home.

The Lyon family and the Reed family had been friends for generation.

Mrs. Lyon and Amber’s mother were best friends.

Since Amber’s mother died, Mrs. Lyon had raised her as her own daughter. It could be said that in Amber’s eyes, Mrs. Lyon was her another mother.

Soon, they arrived Cole’s home.

This was the first time Amber had come here in six years. It was still the same as before, without any change.

Therefore, Amber didn’t feel strangeness at all.

“Amber!” Hearing the sound, Mrs. Lyon ran out to greet her. Amber’s eyes lit up instantly, then she opened her

arms to hug her.

“Auntie.” Amber smiled and stepped forward.

The two hugged.

Cole was jealous, “Mom, you ignored me, didn’t you?”

Mrs. Lyon rolled her eyes at Cole, “I see you every day. I’m already tired of it. I want to see Amber. Let me take a good look.”

She took Amber’s two hands and walked around Amber to look up and down, feeling a little distressed, “You’ve lost weight.”

Amber didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, “Really?”

“Yeah. Your face was a little chubby before.” Mrs. Lyon said.

Amber replied, “It was baby fat. So it looked a little chubby. Alright, Auntie, let’s go into the house.”

“Yes, yes, go in the house first.” Mrs. Lyon held her hand and walked into the villa.

After entering the villa, Amber found that there was no one else. So she couldn’t help asking, “Is Uncle not here?”

“He’s playing golf outside. Don’t need to care about him. Amber, tell me how you spent the past six years.” Mrs. Lyon watched the press conference and was eager to know how she had been doing.

“Well.” Amber nodded, and then told Mrs. Lyon her life in the Farrell family in brevity, lest Mrs. Lyon feel distressed.

But Mrs. Lyon was still very angry after hearing this. She couldn’t help slapping the coffee table, “The Farrell family is spiteful. Amber, why didn’t you tell us? If you tell us, we will give you support, and they definitely dare not to bully you again.”

“Yeah, I also told her that before.” Cole nibbled at the apple and nodded in agreement.

He had always been angry at Amber’s behaviors of being bullied during her marriage and not telling him.

But he cared about her more than he was angry with her.

Their concerns had warmed Amber’s heart. Tears welled up into her eyes gradually, “Because I don’t want you to worry about me.”

Her parents were gone. The closest people for her were Mrs. Lyon and her family.

She could ask Mrs. Lyon to support her a few times but she couldn’t rely on them all the time. After all they were

not her real family. They would feel annoyed over time, so she might as well not ask for their help in the first place.

“Silly girl!” Mrs. Lyon poked Amber’s forehead and sighed.

Amber knew that Mrs. Lyon was indignant for her being the pushover. She smiled, and hugged Mrs. Lyon’s arm.

Mrs. Lyon’s heart softened. She stroked Amber’s hair.

Suddenly, Cole frowned and sniffed twice in the air, “Mom, what did you make? It’s burnt.”

Mrs. Lyon’s eyes widened. She stood up abruptly, “No, my seafood congee!”

After speaking, she quickly ran to the kitchen to save her congee.

Fortunately, it was discovered in time, so the congee was saved.

Mrs. Lyon came over with two glasses of juice and put them in front of Amber, “Amber, drink it and watch TV first. I’m going to the kitchen to make two dishes. The meal will be ready soon.”

“Okay.” Amber smiled and nodded.

Mrs. Lyon looked at Cole, “Go and help me.”

“Me?” Cole couldn’t believe what he heard. He blinked and pointed to his nose, “Mom, are you kidding me? What

can I…”

“Huh?” Mrs. Lyon pulled a long face.

Cole didn’t dare to refuse anymore. He stood up reluctantly, “Well, well.”

Then he dejectedly followed Mrs. Lyon to the kitchen.

Seeing him like this, Amber giggled.

In the kitchen, Cole looked around, “Mom, what are you asking me to do?”

Mrs. Lyon squinted at him, “Don’t I know you’re trained for nothing? I’m afraid you will blow up the kitchen.”

Cole curled his lips, feeling aggrieved, “Then why did you ask me to come here?”

“Because I wanted to ask you what your feelings to Amber is. Do you still like her?” Mrs. Lyon looked at him.

Cole’s face changed, “Mom, how…”

“You want to ask me how I knew that you like Amber, right?” Mrs. Lyon interrupted him directly.

Cole’s lips moved but he didn’t say anything. He acquiesced.

Yes, he liked Amber cince he was a child.

But he knew that Amber didn’t like him and only regarded him as her best friend, so he never told her his feelings.

for her. He always thought that he had concealed it well and no one could find it out. But he was discovered by his

own mother.

“I didn’t know it. It’s you who told me. On the night of Amber’s wedding six years ago, you were drunk and blurted

it out yourself.”

Speaking of which, Mrs. Lyon sighed, “To be honest, when I heard it, I was also shocked. If I had known that you liked Amber so much and didn’t regard her as your younger sister, I would definitely make a match between you two! But you hid it so well. By the time I knew it, it was too late.”

Cole touched his nose and didn’t speak.

While washing vegetables, Mrs. Lyon said, “You haven’t answered me yet. Do you still like Amber?”

Cole turned his head and looked in the direction of the living room through the door, with strong feelings in his eyes, “I love her. It’s never changed.”

“Well, now that Amber is single again, you should chase after her boldly. Try to become her real boyfriend as soon as possible.” Mrs. Lyon encouraged him.

She really liked Amber.

So she wished Amber could marry her son.

Cole shook his head. His eyes dimmed, “No. She doesn’t like me. If I suddenly chase her, it will only scare her.”

He had seen a lot of girls‘ male besties pursue those girls. But there were very few people who could success. Basically, those girls were scared away and stayed away from those boys. After all, not everyone could accept their best male friends as their boyfriends.

He didn’t want him and Amber to become like that. So he didn’t dare to take risks. He would rather be her best friend for the rest of his life. At least this way, he could stay by her side.
