My Ex-Wife is So Beautiful

Mr. Farrell?

Amber looked towards the door and met with Jared’s cold gaze. Within a second, she moved her eyes away and let go of the teapot in her hand.

“Mr. Farrell, what brings you here?” Mr. Yates also stood up, greeting him politely.

These four men in the room were all much older than him. But they knew clearly about his ways of doing business.

Besides this, the Farrell Group was quite successful and they dared not offend him to his face.

Jared glanced at Amber and walked in, speaking in a low voice, “I know that Mr. Longman is here, so I come to say hello.”

“It’s Friday, so we come here to play cards for amusement.” Mr. Longman suddenly changed his arrogant tone and said with a smile, “Just now Miss Reed came to us to talk about the purchase and played with us for a few rounds.”

Mr. Yates also chimed in, “Yes. Amber’s father was my friend. Her father was quite good at playing cards. But she did not have good luck today and lost several times.”

The other two men also said a few words and took the opportunity to exchange business cards with Jared.

But Amber fiddled with her cards and remained silent.

After taking the two men’s business cards, Jared walked towards Mr. Longman with his long legs and said impassively, “You guys keep playing. I will just watch you play.”

Mr. Longman instantly understood and immediately gave him a seat.

Jared pulled out the chair and sat down. At a close distance, he found that the high collar of Amber’s sweater was wet and some hair stuck on her delicate neck.

When drawing the cards, Amber let out a few coughs.

Sensing the coldness, he looked at the open window and went over to close it. Then he called for a waiter, “Bring in a blanket.”

Noticing his attitude, Mr. Longman and the others eyed at each other.

But Amber was still ignoring Jared and his words. After organizing her cards, she threw one out.

Soon the waiter brought her a blanket.

“Thank you, but I am not cold.” She politely took the blanket, tucked it behind her chair and continued to play.

When Jared saw her like this, he frowned and felt a bit upset.

She had never been in business and yet she dared to come here to play cards with these men. Didn’t she fear that they would take advantage of her?

Perhaps because he was here or because others knew his relationship with Amber, they suddenly stopped talking dirty and the atmosphere became peaceful.

Mr. Longman and the other men even intentionally lost to her.

She had seen their true faces, so she simply sneered in her heart, pretending that she didn’t know what they were doing and threw out cards randomly.

The more cards she threw, the worse she played. But the others dared not defeat her.

Jared heard her cough a few more times and frowned tighter. When she was about to throw another card, he leaned over, took a card from her and threw it on the table.

She smelled his fragrance and felt even dizzier, leaning backwards a bit.

Soon the situation changed. Jared basically helped her draw cards and play for her.

Mr. Longman looked at him and said to Amber with an ingratiating smile, “A few days ago, an long-term client suddenly asked for an increase of purchase. I did not tell my business department about this and directly signed the contract. I only knew today that your overseas goods are also urgent. Miss Reed, I am sorry.”

He added, “I will call the business department later and we can sign a contract tomorrow morning at nine o’clock. I will make sure that the factory will maufacture what you need as soon as possible.”

Hearing his words, she also replied, “Thank you, Mr. Longman. Ahem…”

Hearing her coughing violently with a red face, Jared felt more upset, pulled out the blanket from behind her chair and prepared to cover her. However, she sensed something and suddenly stood up, avoiding him.

“Mr. Farrell, Mr. Longman, I still have other things to attend to, so I’ll leave first. As for the tea and desserts, it’s all on me,” she said.

After saying that, she took her bag and left.

Her high heels on the floor made a clattering sound and soon her figure disappeared from the room.

Seeing her leave, Mr. Yates did not care and continued to play cards. And he said to Jared, “Mr. Farrell, there is a wine party tomorrow night at seven. Do you have time to go there and have a drink?”

“I am not available tomorrow night.” Jared did not look at his cards and stood up.

He glanced over the four men at the table with a sharp gaze and said in a hoarse voice, “Even if my ex-wife was bad at playing cards, she is not here to be bullied. What do you think, Mr. Yates?”

“Yes, yes…” Mr. Yates forced out a smile and stuttered, “Mr. Farrell, you misunderstood us. We didn’t bully Miss Reed.”

“I have read the plan that you mentioned to me about building a resort in the North District. I am not interested.” Jared threw the cards on the table and added in a nonchalant tone, “Mr. Yates, go look for a new partner.”Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

With that, he picked up his jacket and left quickly.

Mr. Longman spread Jared’s cards and got shocked. “Amber’s cards were too bad to win, but after Mr. Farrell took over, she actually had a high chance to win…”

Mr. Yates sat down in his chair as if he had fallen into a trance. “Didn’t they get a divorce?”

These men looked at each other with complicated and confused faces.

Although everybody knew that Amber and Jared ended their marriage, those people in the private room could see that Jared was still protective of his ex-wife.

Amber saw the rain hadn’t stopped yet, so she went to the front desk and asked for an umbrella.

It was not only rainy outside, but also quite cold. When facing the cold wind, she coughed even more. When she was about to pull open her car door, she was tightly grabbed on the wrist by someone.

Feeling her coldness, Jared said seriously, “You can’t drive like this. I will send you back.”

“Mr. Farrell, let go.” She jerked her hand back and snapped, “Even if I can’t drive, I can find a driver. Don’t bother!”

She used to be obedient and tender to him, not so aloof and distant like this.

“Amber, we were divorced, but we aren’t enemies.” He said to her with great patience, “If you need anything, you can tell me directly. There is no need for you to come here to play cards with them.”

She sneered, “Compared to what I had suffered in the marriage, these are nothing.”

At this time, her phone rang.

She no longer paid attention to him and took out her phone. When she saw it was from Cole, she answered it immediately, “Hey, have you finished with your things?”

“Not yet. I am in South Riverside for business and I won’t be back until next Wednesday,” Cole replied.

“Well, okay then. You go ahead and do your things.” She coughed and added, “Wisemas will sign a contract with us tomorrow.”

“Didn’t I tell you to wait for me to deal with it? Did they take advantage of you?”

“Mm,” she replied.

Jared was standing next to her. Although she did not turn on the amplification, he could vaguely hear their talk.

When he saw her happy look on the phone and heard her asking Cole to buy some new clothes for her, he felt the irritation again. How different she was now!
