Hypnotizing Love novel Chapter 790

Logan laughed and continued, “So are you happy, my dear sister-in-law?”

Amber couldn’t help but retort, “Why should I be happy only because you call me? Who do you think you are? My sweetheart?”

Logan answered in a loud voice, “Well, I am not your sweetheart, but I am your brother-in-law.”

Amber retorted, “But I don’t remember I have a brother. Don’t you pretend to be my folk.”

Logan exclaimed hastily, “What? No, I am not pretending! You are my brother’s wife, so I should be your brother-in-law!”

Hearing Logan explaining anxiously amused Amber, and she said, “Okay, my bad, just calm down. By the way, why do you call me rather than your brother once you get the phone? Your brother will be sad if he knows this.”

Logan pouted and said, “Oh, I am one hundred percent sure that he will not be sad. Besides, we don’t have much to talk about. Every time I call him, he will ask me about my schoolwork. I am afraid of him. He is too strict, nearly a demon to me.”

Amber squinted her eyes and chuckled. “A demon? So now you are talking something bad about him, right? You are doomed, Logan.”

“What?” Logan paused, a sense of foreboding taking his heart.

Amber took the phone away from her ear and yelled to the direction of the kitchen, “Jared, your brother has called me and he said you were a demon.”

“Shit!” Logan stood up from the bench at Amber’s word. He was so shocked that his face turned pale and he thought, “Oh my god, Jared is staying with Amber. How can she tell Jared about what I said? God! I am doomed!”

While Logan was feeling uneasy, he heard Jared’s voice through the phone. “What? I am a demon?” Though small, it was Jared’s voice indeed. Knowing the fact that his brother was staying with Amber made Logan sweat.

As if she knew Logan was frightened, Amber looked at Jared, who was holding the dishes and walking toward her, put the phone back to her ear, and asked smilingly, “Logan, your brother was here. Would you like to talk to him?”

“No…no…please. I mean…I am busy. I have to train for the final. So, I think it’s about time to say goodbye. We can have a talk later maybe. Wish you a happy night with my brother, bye!” Shaking his head, Logan rejected hastily.

But when he was about to hang up the phone, Logan remembered something, something he had to do. There was an expression of guilty in his eyes and he flushed at the feeling of embarrassment, but finally, he managed to speak in a low voice, “I am sorry, Amber, for what I have done to you before. I apologize.”

Once he finished, Logan hung up the phone as soon as possible. Though his heart was pounding fast, he breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, he managed to apologize. He didn’t know whether Amber would forgive him or not, but at least he had apologized and shown his sincerity. If she still wouldn’t forgive him, when he returned home after the competition, he would use his action to move her and do something for her so that she would forgive him just like what his brother had done, and realizing this eased the sense of guilt in Logan’s heart.

“Logan, it’s time for training. The coach is calling you.” One of Logan’s teammates came to the lounge, knocking on the door to remind him.

“Yeah, I am coming.” Putting his phone away, Logan smiled at his teammate, threw away the towel around his neck, and left for the training ground with his teammate shoulder by shoulder.

Back in Kelsington Bay, Amber was half surprised and half amused that Logan was so afraid of Jared that when he heard about speaking to Jared, he hung up the phone immediately. But what truly surprised her was the apology from Logan. She knew Logan was apologizing for what he had done to her in the past six years. Born with a noble name, Logan had been living a privileged life so he had grown to be overly proud. Even if he did something wrong, he would never apologize and never be blamed, but it would be the victim to apologize to him. So, it was a great surprise that Logan actually apologized to her, which was quite gratifying since it proved that the boy had really grown up!

“What did you say? I am a demon?” While Amber was still thinking about Logan, Jared had come to her and put dinner on the table. Staring straight, he looked at her unpleasantly, since he mistook Amber for calling him a demon.

Amber gasped, and gave him a sign of thumbs-up, saying, “Demon!”

She even began to feel sorry for Logan and she thought, “Is it possible to finish so many workbooks and test papers in a week? Well, if there is someone who can do it, it will never be Logan. That kid is weak in learning after all.” What a terrible punishment for Logan. So, what other businessmen said about Jared was right: He was mean and merciless, the Death in business. He could be so strict even to his brother, so no wonder he was so terrifying to others.

Jared chuckled at Amber’s comment, and said, “It will do Logan no harm. By the way, why did he call you.”

Amber took a sip of the warm soup and said, “It’s no big deal. He said he knew our rapprochement and came to congratulate.”

Jared nodded and said, “Well, don’t talk to him too much.”

“Why?” Amber was bewildered.

Pressing his lips into a line, Jared said, “Because he is a guy.”

Amber was rendered speechless and after a while, she finally managed to say, “You can’t be serious, Jared. He’s just a kid and he’s your brother! How can you be jealous? Come on.”

Looking into her eyes, Jared repeated, “But he’s a guy.”

Amber didn’t know what to say.
