Hypnotizing Love
Chapter 142 The Lighter

"Just half an hour." Cole took out a handkerchief and wiped her sweat lovingly.

Amber blinked. "Half an hour? I thought you had arrived for a long time."

"Uh..."Cole smiled awkwardly." We could have reached the top of the mountain a long time ago. It was all Logan's fault. He took the wrong way, so...'

"What do you mean by 'it's all my fault'? It's obvious that you can't win me, so you pointed me the wrong way." Logan came over and heard Cole speak ill of him. He retorted angrily.

Cole snorted proudly. "Even if I deliberately fooled you and pointed the wrong way, you still followed it, right? How stupid are you!"

"You..."Logan clenched her fists in anger.

Amber rested her hand on her forehead. "Stop. Stop arguing. It's so noisy that I am going to have a headache."

"Then I'll give you a massage. You won't hurt anymore." As Cole spoke, he walked behind her and massaged her temples.

Logan saw this and muttered, "Ass kisser."

Cole heard him and replied in a low voice, "Some people do not even have the chance to be an ass kisser."

Seeing that the two children were still arguing, Amber felt so helpless. "If you two want to quarrel anymore, go away and leave me alone."

"OK, we'll shup up, darling." Cole quickly comforted her.

Logan also nodded, indicating that they should stop arguing.

As expected, they kept their word and became quiet.

Only then did Amber quiet down.

But not long after, something crossed Logan's mind. He looked down the mountain and asked, "By the way, Amber, where is my brother?" "He's behind us." Reed answered casually.

Cole laughed at him. "A man can't even win two women. What took him so long? He's weak."

"Nonsense. It's not because of my brother. It must be Makenna. She must have dragged my brother behind." Logan exasperatedly explained. Amber raised her eyebrows.

Well, in a sense, the boy was right.

It was indeed because of Makenna that Jared hadn't arrived yet.

Sure enough, Logan's words were soon confirmed.

Jared finally reached the top of the mountain with Makenna on his back.

After put Makenna down and then sat on a stone with Logan's help, Jared closed his eyes to rest.

After all, it was very hard for him to carry a person on his back while climbing the mountain.

Even though he had been exercising all year round, he was still exhausted. He sat there, panting slightly.

Logan stood next to him, fanning him and handing him some water.

"Jared, are you alright?" Makenna walked over and asked with concern.

Jared opened his eyes and was about to answer.

Logan stood in front of him and glared at Makenna angrily. "Do you think my brother is fine?"

"I..."Makenna was shocked by his fierce look and took a step back.

Logan continued, "Don't you have long legs? Why do you want my brother to carry you? Don't you know how to walk?"

Makenna seemed to be hurt and almost burst to tears.

Logan was annoyed to see her acting like this and wanted to speak again.

Jared interrupted him and said, "All right, stop talking. It's not her fault. Leave it. Get out of the way."

"Jared?" Logan looked back at him. "I am defending you. You ask me to get out of the way?"

"Will you?" Jared narrowed his eyes.

Logan was about to say something. But in the end, he glared at Makenna and stepped aside.

"Jared..." Makenna finally saw Jared.

Jared handed her a tissue and said, "Don't cry."

"Hmm." Makenna nodded in grievance.

At this time, Amber and the other three people, who were picking up firewood and stones, came back.

Seeing Jared and Makenna, Hayden put down the small stones in his hand and gave a meaningful smile. "Hey, Jared, you're finally here. What a journey."

Jared glanced at him indifferently and quickly looked away, ignoring him.

But he casually looked at Amber for two seconds before looked away.

Amber was setting up a stove with the stones picked up by Hayden and Cole, wanted to heat up the lunch brought up.

After all, it was getting late and everyone was hungry after climbed the mountain, so it was time to prepare for lunch.

"Well, do you have a lighter?" After setting up the stove, Amber clapped her hands and asked Hayden and Cole. Cole shook his head. "No. I don't smoke. What about you?"

He looked at Hayden.

Hayden touched his pocket and smiled awkwardly. "Sorry, I forgot to take it."

"I don't bring it either." Stella and Logan also said.

Amber looked at the sky helplessly. "Nobody brought one. How do we heat our lunch?"

They fell silent.

Just as Amber was thinking about whether she should send someone down the mountain to get a lighter, Jared said. "I have one."

He took out a very expensive metal lighter, got up, walked to Amber, and handed it to her.

Amber looked at it and hesitated to pick it up.

Seeing that she was tempted, Cole felt unhappy. He stepped forward and looked at Jared with a fake smile. "Mr. Farrell, you'd better put away your lighter. We don't dare take your things. If your fiancée is jealous again, we will suffer."

Jared frowned and turned back to look at Makenna behind him.

Makenna smiled and said, "Mr. Lyon, don't think too little of me. It's just a lighter. I'm not that touchy and be jealous for such a little thing."

After that, she looked at Amber with smile. "Miss Reed, take it."

Amber fixed her gaze on Makenna for a few seconds before reaching out to take the lighter from Jared. "Alright, then I'll take it. Thank you, Miss Gardner and Mr. Farrell." "You're welcome." Makenna replied.

Although Jared didn't say anything, he no longer frowned. It could be told that he was satisfied with Amber's acceptance of the lighter.

"Darling, you really took it?" Cole was a little unhappy.

Amber opened the lid of the lighter and started the fire. "Why not? Everyone is hungry. It's more important to fill our stomachs."

"But..."Cole still wanted to say something.

Amber ordered him, "Go and get the lunch box."

"Oh." Cole went to get the lunch box obediently.

The food soon got warmed up.

Amber gave everyone one box. Finally, she took two boxes and walked towards Jared and Makenna.

"Here." Amber handed the lunch box to them.

Makenna narrowed her eyes and asked with a smile, "Miss Reed, this is..."

Jared also looked at Amber.

Even Cole and Hayden looked over.

Amber replied indifferently, "In return for the lighter."

"I see. Thank you, Miss Reed." Makenna reached out to take the lunch box.

"Thank you." Jared also took it.

When he took it, his fingertip touched hers.

Amber's hand shrank and she looked at him.

He also happened to look over.

Their gaze met.

Seeing this scene, Makenna clenched her fist so hard that her nails almost dug into her palm.

"Jared, why are you looking at Miss Reed? She's so embarrassed." Makenna tried her best to keep the smiled said softly.

However, her soft voice was mixed with coldness.

Jared and Amber came to their senses and looked away at the same time.

Amber stuffed the lunch box into his hand and turned to leave.

Looking at the lunch box in his hand, Jared felt inexplicably happy and smiled when he thought that it was heated by Amber personally.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
