Hypnotizing Love novel Chapter 166

"I don't know either. That man looked like he's from a high rank, driving a luxury car and wearing a floral shirt..."

A floral shirt?

Hayden's lips twitched. A figure appeared in his mind.

"I know who it was. Where is he?" he asked.

The butler answered, "Outside the villa."

"Please let him in. I'll go downstairs right away," said Hayden.

The butler answered and left.

Hayden picked up his phone again and exchanged a few words with the person on the other end of the line before hanging up the phone. Then he closed the bedroom door and went downstairs.

He wondered why Cole had come to him.

"Hello, Cole." Hayden arrived downstairs. Seeing Cole sitting on the sofa, he scratched his hair and asked, "What can I do for you? I didn't expect you to come to my house."

Cole smashed the coffee mug on the tea table, stood up, and strode over the tea table, heading to Hayden in anger.

He grabbed Hayden's necktie and shouted, "Where is he?"

Hayden was confused. "Who?"

"The bastard who bullied Amber that night," Cole roared with reddish eyes.

When Hayden heard his question, his expression changed. "What did you say? Has Amber been bullied?"

"Yes. At my birthday party. Babe got drunk. Your friend slept with her. She is..."

"How's she doing now?" Hayden pulled away Cole's hands. Instead, he grabbed Cole's collar and asked eagerly, "Tell me. How's she doing now?"

Seeing his panicked look, Cole felt weird.

Hayden seemed to care a lot about Amber's matter.

Cole didn't overthink, though. He pushed Hayden away. Clenching his fists, he answered, "She is pregnant."

"What?" Hayden gaped.

Amber was pregnant?

"Are you gonna tell me who that man is?" Cole roared.

Hayden's lips parted.

How could he tell Cole?

That man was Jared.

Seeing that Hayden lowered his head in silence thoughtfully, Cole became furious. His fists trembled. "Hayden Cohen, do you want to cover up for gun?"

"No, I don't..."

"If not, you'd better tell me. He never shows up after Baby was raped by him. Now, she's pregnant. Is he still hiding in the dark?" Cole squeezed words between his teeth.

Hayden answered with a weird look, "Nah. He's abroad."

"Is he?" Cole waved his fist in the air. "Humph! Think he can skip the responsibility by hiding aboard, huh? No way! You'd better call him right now and ask him to come back."

Hayden's eyes twinkled, feeling guilty. "I'm afraid I can't do it. I'm his friend, but we are not close. He's quite mysterious. I can't guarantee if I can get in touch with him."

"What?" Cole frowned.

Hayden coughed. "Well... Why don't you go home? I'll try to contact him later. If I could reach him, I would call you back. All right?"

"No way. I'll stay here. Give me his contact number. I'll call him myself." Cole reached out his hand.

Hayden didn't expect him to be so challenging to deal with, feeling an intense migraine.

He didn't have the guts to give Jared's phone number to Cole. If Cole and Amber knew that man was Jared, Hayden didn't dare imagine what would happen.

Besides, he had his own purpose, unwilling to let Amber know she had been pregnant with Jared's baby.

After thinking for a moment, Hayden narrowed his eyes. "All right. All right. I'll give it to you. Just take it and leave."

He walked to the tea table, found a pen and some paper from the drawer, and wrote down a phone number. Then he gave the note to Cole.

Cole took a glance. "His name?"

"He always used nickname when coming into town. It's fake and doesn't make any sense," Hayden said, rolling his eyes at Cole.

Cole pinched the note. "Shit! A foreigner? He thought he could just rape a drunken lady in a strange country and flea away after this. He wishes! I must go abroad and beat him up in person. Fucking bastard!"

Cole left the villa while cursing.

Hayden wiped off the sweat from his forehead, breathing a sigh of relief.

Finally, he managed to send this troublemaker away.

Hayden went back upstairs and dialed Jared's phone number.

As if he had expected Hayden would call, Jared asked, "Cole Lyon went to see you?"

"How did you know?" Hayden was shocked.

Jared looked down. "Amber told me."

Hayden understood. Curling his lips, he answered, "Right. I've forgotten. You friended Amber on WhatsApp. Cole wanted to hunt you down. Of course she would tell you."

Upon hearing the jealousy in Hayden, Jared frowned.

He wondered why Hayden was jealous.

"You knew Cole has come to me, so you should also know Amber is pregnant, right?" Hayden asked.

Around two months ago, on the following morning of Cole's birthday, Jared called Hayden to delete the surveillance record of the nightclub. Hayden was curious about what was in the footage, so he took a look at it before deleting it. He gaped when seeing Jared carry Amber into a room.

Hence, Amber should've get pregnant that evening.

"Yes, I know it." Jared nodded.

Hayden squinted. "Upon your tone, I can hear you aren't surprised at all. You seem to have known it quite a long time ago."

Jared hummed to answer.

Bingo!

"How long have you found this?" Hayden asked.

Jared answered, "Several days ago."

Hayden suddenly thought about that day on the horse ranch. He asked, "No wonder you stopped Amber from riding the horse that day. I guess you might have known it at that time already."

"You are right," Jared answered flatly. Then he asked, "Have you told Cole it was me that night?"

"No, I haven't. You asked me to delete the surveillance footage, so I guessed you didn't want Amber to know who slept with her that night, not to mention Cole." Hayden answered. His eyes dimmed.

"Thanks, Hayden."

"Don't mention it. I just want to know what your plan is on this matter? Do you want to remarry Amber?" Hayden pinched his phone tightly.

Upon hearing it, Jared felt touched.

However, he thought about something and suppressed it.

"No, I won't remarry her." Jared pinched between his eyebrows. "I've betrayed Makenna once. I can't do it again to her."

"Betrayed?" Hayden rolled his eyes in disdain. "All right. All up to you, Dude."

In the past, he would convince Jared to remarry Amber. After all, Amber had been pregnant, and Makenna didn't deserve Jared.

However, Hayden realized that he had a crush on Amber, too. Hence, he wouldn't try to convince Jared.

"If not, what's your plan for the baby in Amber's belly? Will you take responsibility?" Hayden calmed down and asked.

Jared looked down. "Of course, I will. If Amber is willing to keep it, I can raise the child with her in secret. If she's unwilling, I'll compensate her."

"That's not bad. Anyway, you should tell Amber what you think."

"I know. After Amber has made the decision about the baby, I'll tell her about my thoughts," Jared answered.

Hayden thought for a few seconds. "I don't think you should wait until that day. If you want to tell her, you'd better do it as soon as possible. If you wait for too long, Amber will probably not accept it."

Jared was silent.

Hayden heaved a sigh. "All right. That's what I think. You just chew on it."
