Hypnotizing Love novel Chapter 164

He raised his hand, put it under his nose, and smelled a faint fragrance.

Hayden knew it was the smell of her perfume, which remained in his hand after he shook hands with her.

This fragrance was fresh and elegant, just like her. He wanted to smell it a few more times.

So he did. He lowered his head slightly and smelled the aroma on his hand. What came into his mind was the scene that he held Amber in his arms, burying his head in her neck and smelling the perfume on her body.

For a moment, Hayden's ears became red and his heart beat faster.

Just then, the door of the elevator opened.

Cole came out with a thermos in his hand. He hadn't expected that there would be someone there and almost bumped into him.

Fortunately, Cole stopped in time and avoided such a situation.

"Why are you here?" Seeing that the person in front of him was Hayden, Cole asked doubtfully.

The image in Hayden's mind vanished, and his face fell.

Then thinking of the relationship between Cole and Amber, he felt even worse. He snorted, passed Cole and went straight into the elevator without answering.

Cole tilted his head, feeling confused. "What's the matter?"

Did he offend Hayden?

Why did he look at him like he's an enemy?"

"What a lunatic!" Cole was in puzzlement. He rolled his eyes and walked to Amber's office.

"Hey babe." Cole pushed the door open and went in.

Amber was dealing with the documents. When she heard his voice, she looked up and asked, "Why are you here? You got your work done?"

Since the Goldstone was on the right track, Cole came here less frequently than before.

After all, he had his own company to look after.

"I have nothing to do today. My mother made braised pork ribs. She knows you like it, so she asked me to bring you some." Cole raised the thermos in his hand.

Amber's eyes lit up. "It's been a long time since I ate that last time. I really appreciate it."

"Try it now before it gets cold." Cole put the thermos on her desk and then opened lid.

As soon as it was opened, a strong meaty smell filled the air.

Amber's smile froze when she smelled that. Her face turned pale at a visible speed. She covered her mouth, pushed the chair away, and ran to the bathroom.

"What's wrong?" Cole was stunned till he heard her retching. He quickly put down the plate in his hand and rushed to the bathroom.

The moment he was at the door of the bathroom door, Cole saw Amber bending over the washing table and vomiting.

"Baby, what's wrong with you?" Cole frowned, his eyes full of worry.

Amber adjusted her breathing, closed her eyes slightly, leaned against the wall beside the washing table, and said weakly, "I'm fine."

"You are not well. Look at your pale face. No, I'll call the doctor." As he spoke, Cole took out his mobile phone and was about to make a phone call.

Amber opened her eyes and stopped him. "Cole, there's no need. I'm not sick."

"Not sick?" Cole looked at her with confusion. "Then why are you..."

Amber sighed. "All right. I won't hide it from you now. You'll find out sooner or later anyway. I'm pregnant."

"Oh, pregnant. I thought..."

Then Cole suddenly realized something. He widened his eyes and raised his voice. "What? You are pregnant?"

Amber nodded.

Cole was stunned. After a long time, he finally found his voice and asked in a hoarse voice, "How long has it been?"

"Almost two months." Amber replied with her eyes lowered.

Two months...

Wasn't that the time when she divorced Jared?"

Cole tried to suppress the jealousy bubbling up in his heart, "Is it Jared's?"

"Let's go outside." Amber didn't answer the question.

Cole nodded and helped her out.

Cole took Amber to the sofa in the rest area, had her seated, and then poured her a glass of water. "Have some water. You just threw up, and you must feel uncomfortable in your stomach. This will make you feel better."

"Thank you." Amber smiled, took the glass and had some water. She answered. "It's not Jared's."

It was ridiculous that he didn't touch her during the six years of her marriage with Jared. Apart from the reason that he didn't love her, also, the only he wanted to sleep with was Makenna.

So how could she be pregnant with Jared's child?

"What?" Cole was stunned again. He opened his mouth several times before he asked with difficulty, "If it's not Jared's, then whose is it?

If it were Jared's, although he would feel upset, he could accept it. After all, she and Jared had been husband and wife before, so it was normal for her to be pregnant with his child.

But now she told him that it was not Jared's. He felt uncomfortable and was very piseed with the man who made her pregnant.

"I don't know who he is. I don't even know his name and even his appearance." Amber touched her belly and said with a wry smile, "Because I was completely confused and scared thereafter, so I just took a glance at that man and left. I didn't think of asking his name at all."

Although later she added him into her friend list and asked him for his name, the man did not intend to tell her.

So far, she still did not know who the man was.

Cole grabbed her hand and asked eagerly, "Baby, were you raped?"

She didn't know who the father of the child was. Except for being raped, he couldn't think of anything else.

However, Amber shook her head. "No. I was drunk and had sex unknowingly with a man. It was on the night of your birthday."

Cole remembered it. "So the mark I saw on your neck the next day was not what you said at that time..."

"Sorry, Cole. I lied to you." Amber apologized.

She had thought that what was done was done. As long as she didn't say it, no one would know.

But she was pregnant, so she was not able to cover up what had happened.

Cole clenched his fists and punched the tea table.

Amber was shocked. "Cole, what are you doing?"

"I'm angry. I'm angry that I didn't stay with you at that time. If I had been there, you wouldn't have... Cole lowered his head in remorse, and his voice was choked with sobs.

Amber grabbed his hand to check if he was injured.

Seeing that he was not injured, she breathed a sigh of relief. "Well, it's not your fault. I drank too much, so that happened."

"Baby, did you investigate that man after that?" What if the man's presence was not an accident?" Cole asked.

After all, Makenna and the others were also at the club on his birthday.

What if that man was arranged by Makenna? That was what he was most worried about.

Amber shook her head. "I asked Hayden to check. He's fine. And he's a friend of Hayden's. I once got his help. He offered me suggestions on how to acquire Yutoga and the use of Jared's land."

"Oh?" Cole raised his eyebrows in surprise. "So it is him."

Amber replied, "Yes. That night was really just an accident."

"Humph, even if it was an accident, it's true that he did something immoral to you. No, I have to see Hayden and find out who that man is. I have to teach him a lesson." Cole stormed out the door so furiously that Amber was unable to stop him.
