Chapter 96
Honey, I Don't Dare Again (Amber and Jared) novel
Chapter 96 I Donât Love Him Anymore Amber didnât let Chloe off the hook easily at the press conference, saying, âChloe mentioned online that! entangled with my exâhusband after divorce, involved in a love triangle with Mr. Farrell and Ms. Gardner six years ago, and requested Mr. Farrell to marry me, apart from the last statement, the others are not true.â
Her announcement stunned the audience, and a journalist seized the opportunity to ask, âDid you mean itâs true that you requested Mr. Farrell to marry you?â
âYes.â Amber nodded, her gaze fixed on the journalist.
âWhat are you saying, babe?â Cole was nervously watching from the side.
How could she have said such a thing so openly?
Jared who was watching at the Farrell Group also scoffed at her statement.
âThough it is true, saying it out loud in public will only make her an even easier target and put Goldstone in trouble,â Hayden said, looking at Jared, âWhatâs going through her mind, Jared?â
Jared did not respond.
Meanwhile, at Gardnerâs residence.
Makenna had been watching the live streaming and smiled vilely as Amber admitted that she had requested the marriage with Jared, believing she was digging her own grave.
Amber, on the other hand, remained unchanged despite the journalistsâ delight.
She was aware of the consequences of her acknowledgment, but she had no regrets.
âMs. Reed, why did you do that?â The journalist inquired.
âWhy? Because I loved him,â Amber said after a brief pause, looking down.
Jaredâs eyes widened and he sat straight subconsciously. He could tell she loved him by the way she looked at him during their sixâyear marriage. But it never occurred to him that she would make it public.
Jared made a light fist and smiled as he heard that. However, the happiness was shortâlived.
âYes, I loved him, but not anymore,â Amber said as she looked into the camera.
Jaredâs expression changed, and his heart was suddenly filled with emptiness.
âDo you think sheâs telling the truth, Jared?â Hayden whistled.
âItâs none of my business!â With his fists clenched, Jared snapped.
Hayden sensed his displeasure and smirked, âIs that so? can tell you care, and you care a lot!â
âYou should get your eyes checked!â Jared cast a glance over at Hayden.
âAll right, Iâll shut up now.â Hayden shrugged unconcernedly and returned his gaze to the live streaming.
âDonât you think youâre despicable for using love as an excuse to request Mr. Farrell to marry you in exchange for saving Ms. Gardner? Mr. Farrell and Ms. Gardner were already in love...â
âFirst and foremost, I did not interfere with their love, that is not true,â Amber cut him off knowing where he was going.
âBecause I had no idea they were dating. I asked Ms. Gardner if she was in a romantic relationship with Mr. Farrell while we were at university, but she denied it, saying she only sees him as a friend, so I went ahead and pursued. him. While requesting him to marry me...â
Amber took a deep breath before continuing, âI have to admit that I was wrong to ask for marriage with Mr. Farrell in exchange for saving Ms. Gardner after her accident, if...â
âIf...â the journalist inquired.
âIf I had known they were a couple, I would never have made such a request,â Amber said, raising her voice. âWhy would I be the other woman in a relationship? I come from a wealthy and powerful family, I have a reputation to uphold, and my dignity will not allow me to do so.â
âSo she had no idea you were dating Makenna?â Hayden looked at Jared, dumbfounded.
Not only Amberâs words caught Hayden off guard, it also had a major impact on Jared.
He knew she was Makennaâs roommate at university, so he assumed she took advantage of Makennaâs condition in a coma and requested him to marry her despite knowing their relationship. He despised her for it, but he had no idea she didnât know he was Makennaâs boyfriend.
Jaredâs faced turned grim as he learned these. Why did Makenna deny their relationship by claiming he was just a friend?
Meanwhile, on the national basketball team practice court.
Logan, who was also watching the live streaming following his training session, was taken aback by what he heard.
âWhat? Amber had no idea Jared was Makennaâs boyfriend. I misunderstood Amber all along?â Logan exclaimed, stunned.
His hands were tightly gripped on the phone as he looked guiltily at Amber on the screen.
He loathed Amber for interfering between Jared and Makenna, but he was mistaken!
âIn addition, when I made the request, I didnât think Mr. Farrell would agree to marry me. I was nothing more than a stranger to him, and who would have guessed that someone would say yes to a marriage proposal from a complete stranger?â Amber kept going, rubbing her glabella.
âThatâs true!â Almost all of the journalists agreed with Amber.
They would never agree to a marriage proposal from a stranger; only the insane would do so.
âBut didnât Mr. Farrell agree?â The journalist inquired once more.
âYes, and I was shocked and overjoyed despite knowing he didnât love me, I married him feeling thrilled thinking I would win his heart over, but I was wrong.â Amber bit her lip, âIt took me six years to realize Iâd never have his heart.â
âIsnât this a foregone conclusion? Ms. Gardner is and has always been Mr. Farrellâs true love,â the journalist stated.
Amber nodded, âYes, he loves Makenna, but I had no idea. And as a result, Iâve had a difficult life for the past six years. It irritates me at times to wonder why he didnât reject my request. I would force him anyway.â She was not someone without dignity, and she would not push her luck if Jared rejected her request.
Hearing this, the crowd nodded knowingly. Jared could say no, and Amber wasnât forcing him, but why did he say yes?

Jared lowered his gaze to hide his emotion. He wanted to reject at first, but when he saw Amberâs eyes full of hope, he blurted out a âYes,â and it was too late to regret later.
âIâm sure youâre interested in my life after marrying him,â Amber said, looking around the room, while the crowd nodded in unison, âMy married life was downright melodramatic. Suffering cold violence from my husband, motherâinâlaw always giving me a hard time, brotherâinâlaw scorning me on a daily basis. How wonderful this marriage was, huh?â Amber mocked.
Wonderful? It sounded like a living hell.
âMs. Reed has been suffering cold violence from Mr. Farrell. He is such a scumbag. As a husband, he had treated Ms. Reed so badly,â someone commented.
