Hypnotizing Love novel Chapter 346
Cohen had no idea what Jared had in mind.
He walked from one side to another in the room worriedly, "Damn it! Amber knew the child was yours and you are Zackary. Then she must know the fact that I've been helping you hide the truth from her. I am yet to get her but now I'm losing her."
Hearing this, Jared squinted angrily.
Losing amber?
You had never had her!
Amber had been, was and would always be Jared's girl.
"No!" Hayden stopped and said as if he had decided something, "I must meet Amber and tell her what I have done. I must apologize first even if she knew the fault was on me. Maybe she would forgive me if I do so."
Then he turned away to head out of the ward room without a word before Jared could do anything to stop him.
Jared had no choice but to watch him go away.
He was afraid that Amber would forgive Hayden for he had apologized first.
But he also knew that Amber was the kind of person who didn't forgive others easily.
Hayden would definitely fail.
On the other side, Hayden hurried to Kelsington Bay where Amber lived. After hesitating for a second, he pressed the doorbell finally.
Amber was to have a rest and suddenly she heard the bell rang so she walked to the door with hand on her lower abdomen, "Who's there?"
"It's me, Hayden." Hayden's voice was sent over from outside.
Amber's move suddenly ceased and her face became much colder.
It's Hayden.
Hayden had helped Jared conceal the truth from her, Amber couldn't help but feel angry at him.
She closed her eyes a bit to suppress the anger in her mind and then said coldly, "Oh, it's you. Then you'd better go home."
Having sensed the anger and indifference in her voice, Hayden put a forced smile on his face.
He knew that she must be very cold to him.
The cold voice of Amber told him that he was right.
She asked him to get off without even asking whether he had something to tell her. Her attitude was obvious as such.
"I have something to tell you, Amber. Could you open the door?" Hayden rubbed his hand and said carefully with his eyes fixed on the door.
Amber bit her lips, "Maybe later. I don't want to hear it right now."
"I must tell you right now. Otherwise, it would be of no use. Please, Amber, open the door, please!" Hayden said with his hands put together devoutly.
His plea sounded so pitiful that hardly could anyone refuse his request.
Something flashed in Amber's eyes as if she were hesitating.
After a few seconds, she finally opened the door, "Well, I just want to hear what you are going to tell me."
Hearing that sound, Hayden opened his eyes instantly.
Seeing Amber standing before him, Hayden said delightedly, "Oh, finally, you wanted to see, Amber."
Amber said expressionlessly, "You said you had something to tell me? Then let's get started."
She had no intention to greet him.
Hayden also knew that from her words. A sense of sorrow welled up in her mind.
But after all, he knew he was the one to blame.
With a forced smile on face, Hayden noticed that Amber did not look good. So, he asked, "I heard you've had an abortion."
"Get to the point!" Amber frowned.
She didn't want to say anything else to him.
Hayden halted for a second before he heaved a sigh and said, "All right. What I want to say is that… I heard you knew the child was Jared's, so…"
"So what?" said Amber in a cold voice.
It was the first time that Amber had been so cold to him. She was even colder than she was three months ago when she was not so close to him.
Obviously, she was really angry at him.
"Sorry, Amber. I shouldn't have concealed the truth from you," Hayden said with his head lowered.
Amber stared at him sneeringly, "You shouldn't? But I thought you had gotten used to it. I've asked you several times who Z was, but every time you just gave me an ambiguous answer or dodged the question. You seemed to think it was the right thing to do. How hypocritical you are! You apologize to me not because you know you are wrong, but because I've known you are a liar."
"No…" Hayden couldn't utter a word anymore.
He couldn't deny that what she said was true.
If she didn't know the truth, he would not have apologized first.
Seeing Hayden standing there ashamed, Amber rubbed her forehead and said, "You are here just to say sorry?"
"Yes," Hayden also rubbed his nose, "I've been hiding the truth from you. If you fail to know that I will continue to do so. I did so for Jared at first. It's true. But in the recent a few months I am actually doing it for you. I though you would be heart-broken when you found the child was Jared's. After all, I am your friend."
"Friend?" Amber said with a sneer on face.
Indeed, he was a friend, a friend who hid the truth from her and a friend who she couldn't afford to get along with.
Hayden had no idea what she had in mind.
He continued, "It has never occurred to me that you would know the truth so fast. But now that you know it, I have to apologize to you. It's my fault anyway and I hope you can forgive me."
Then he bowed to her sincerely.
But Amber took a step backward, "I understand why you would do that. Jared is a friend of yours. It's quite natural for you to help him."
With his eyes suddenly turning bright, Hayden stood upright and looked at her excitedly, "You mean you have forgiven me?"
She said she understood.
That meant she had forgiven him, right?
But amber shook her head coldly, "No. Understanding is different from forgiving. For Jared, you've played the role of a good friend. But for me, it's an unforgivable fault. From now on, we are just allies against the Gardner's, not friends anymore."
Hayden's face suddenly became stiffened, "Allies …"
Amber bit her lips, "Indeed, nothing but allies."
After that, she shut the door instantly.
Staring at the door in front of him, Hayden felt like crying.
He thought she had forgiven him. Now he knew he was wrong.
Maybe in her mind, he was not even her friend.
It had taken him great efforts to be a friend of Amber's. It was the first step on his way to chasing her
Now they were not friends anymore, let alone lovers.
Hayden said with his hair held in hands, "No, I cannot …"
He must have a talk with Amber even if she would not forgive him.
For Hayden's part, they must be friends at least!
As Hayden was about to press the doorbell again, he heard his phone ringing.
Hayden fumbled out his phone. It was a call from his family. He answered it directly and greet, "Hello, it's Hayden."
The one on the other side said something, which made Hayden change his face instantly, "I know. I'll be back soon."
After that, he put his phone down from his ear and texted to Amber quickly before he headed towards the elevator hastily.
Amber was drinking a cup of water inside. Then she heard her phone on the tea table vibrating and picked it up.
It's a message from Hayden.
Amber put down the cup and checked his message: Amber, I have some business to do so I must leave right now. After that, shall we have a talk?lightnoveldaily.com
