Hypnotizing Love novel Chapter 45

"Don't you have a home?" Amber glanced at his face and saw his swollen right cheek. She assumed that he had gotten into another fight. "You got into a fight and used my place as your haven?"

"You are my sister-in-law."

"Ex-sister-in-law."

"Even if you are my ex-sister-in-law, you are also my sister-in-law!" Logan said righteously, "Open the door and get me something to eat. I am hungry!"

"All right, shut up!"

Amber opened the door and dragged Logan into the house by the collar of his school uniform.

She took out the first-aid kit and applied ointment onto Logan's red and swollen cheek.

After treating Logan's wound, she took a piece of soup stock from the fridge and cooked it over low heat. She made two dishes and one soup.

As Logan ate his dinner, she asked, "About the wound on your face, did you save a damsel in distress again?"

"No." Logan took two mouthfuls of rice and mumbled, "My mother slapped me."

Amber froze.

She had been in the Farrell family's residence for six years and knew how much Shonna loved Logan. Shonna would call Logan her precious son and give him anything he wanted. She had never said anything harsh to him nor hit him.

Amber ate a piece of apple and asked, "Your mother loves you very much, right? Why would she slap you?"

Logan pursed his lips. "She told me not to go out to play so often, and that I should learn more from my elder brother. She wants me to join the Farrell Group early, but I am not interested in managing the company. What is wrong with me enjoying playing basketball? When I quarrelled with her, she got angry and slapped me…"

Amber could imagine the scene of Shonna getting mad and slapping Logan. She could not help but laugh.

"What are you laughing at?" Logan glared at her.

"Didn't you use to gloat next to me when your mother was teaching me a lesson?" Amber said, "I didn't expect there will come a day when you get slapped by your mother. Am I not allowed to take pity on you, then?"

Logan was struck speechless.

After the meal, Logan cleaned up the dishes and went to wash them.

He took out a set of skincare products from his school bag and threw it to Amber. Although there was a hint of ingratiation, his tone was still very harsh. "This is what I spent three months of pocket money on. Take it and go to my school on Saturday!"

Amber took one bottle of skincare products and looked at the brand. It was a famous brand, and a bottle of essence water would cost nearly one thousand dollars.

She estimated this skincare set to be at least twenty thousand dollars.

Amber initially thought Logan had nowhere to go. However, she now realized his purpose in coming here. "If you have gotten into trouble, go to your brother."

"I am not in trouble!" After looking at her, Logan lowered his voice. "The coach of the national basketball team is coming to our school on Saturday to recruit people to train at their base. Whoever passes the try-out can join the team, but they want to talk to the parents…"

Amber understood and turned him down. "No, I have nothing to do with the Farrell family anymore. I cannot manage this matter. Besides, your mother wants you to join the Farrell Group in the future. If I were to help you enter the national team, she would definitely kill me."

"I will carry the load if something goes wrong and will never drag you into it!" Logan raised his hand and swore to her, "Sister-in-law, you are the only one who can help me."

"I know I used to be mean to you and disrespect you. But at that time, I thought you bullied Makenna and snatched my brother from her. Besides, my mom kept bad mouthing you, so I went along with not liking you…"

"It seems like you really like Makenna as your sister-in-law. You even told her about that tattoo of mine." When it came to this matter, Amber was not nice to Logan. "I think you might as well find Makenna. She will be happy to help you."

"Huh?" Logan froze, "I did not tell her that you have a tattoo!"

Amber stared at him, "You really didn't tell her?"

"No, I did not!"

Amber asked, "If you didn't tell her, how did she know?"

"She might have overheard my phone call," Logan said with a hint of a guilty conscience. "When I was on the phone with my classmate, I asked him if it hurts to get a tattoo. After that, I criticized you by saying that you are a pervert for tattooing my brother's name on your body. That was all I said."

"Kid." Amber looked at him with a faint smile, "I am certain that you are Madam Woodham's biological son."

"What do you mean?"

"You have the same poor personality as Madam Woodham, which is having a loose tongue." Amber's mocking intention was intense. "You have inherited all the flaws that your elder brother has dodged."

"..."

Logan's face was flushing with anger. When he was about to theorize with her that he still had merits, the phone on the coffee table rang.

When he saw that it was a phone call from his elder brother, Logan was frightened.

Amber also saw it and took the phone one step faster to answer it. She put it on speaker, "Mr. Farrell, did you call because you found out your brother is missing?"

The other end of the phone was silent for a moment. Then, Jared's deep voice came, "Logan, come down to the south gate within three minutes."

"Brother, three minutes is not enough," Logan whined but dared not explicitly talk back to Jared. "She lives near the north gate…"

"Two minutes." Jared's tone became even gloomier.
