Chapter 268 But We Cannot Turn back Time
Seeing the letter in which Maple Leaf told him that she was going to confess her love to the one she
loved, a sense of agony welled up in his mind. He felt so sad that he was even hospitalized due to a
sudden heart attack. He didn't recover until half a month later. By then he also wrote a letter to her to
tell her that he wanted to meet her and tell her what he felt about her.
Meanwhile, he was informed that a suitable heart had been found, which meant he could live a longer
life. That's why he finally made up his mind to tell her he loved her. Otherwise, he wouldn't have tried to
interrupt her life since he would die soon.
The day she received his letter and gave him a phone call was coincidentally the day he had his
surgery. Then after a month of recovery when he was able to walk by himself, he told Ben to help him
get to the place they met in a wheelchair. But the girl waiting for him there was Makenna Gardner.
He had never known how Maple Leaf looked like and Makenna Gardner was able to tell him something
they wrote in the letters so he quite believed that Makenna was Maple Leaf.
Amber Reed immediately understand Jared Farrell's words. Then she asked with her eyes wide open,
"You said Makenna met you in the disguise of me?"
"Right!" Jared nodded, "It was six years ago. When I arrived at the place at 10 a.m., it was Makenna
who was waiting there."
"But what you told me was that we should met at 2 p.m. I had been waiting there for the whole
afternoon and you didn't come." Amber looked at him skeptically.
Jared frowned, "Did I? But what I remember is that I told you to meet at 10 a.m."
"You did. But the morning you sent a message to me to change the time to 2:00 p.m.," Amber said with
her hand clenched.
"I did not send you any message that morning," Jared replied.
Amber shook her head, "But Lizzie told me that you sent a message to me."
"So, you mean you did not see the message yourself?" said Jared with his eyes squinted.
Amber lowered her head, "Yep …"
The dark face of Jared told her that she was deceived six years ago.
Jared did not send the message. It was Lizzie who lied to her. She tried to stop her from meeting Jared
that morning.
And it was also clear that Lizzie must have done so to help Makenna.
During the first two years of college, she used to correspond with Zack. All her roommates knew that
and they had laughed at her for having such an old school habit.
By then Makenna was one of her roommates. Makenna had read the letters between them and she did
not feel ashamed after being caught. She had even asked about her relationship with Zack. At that time
Amber did not think much of it. But now it was obvious that Makenna must have known the identity of
Zack and that was why she met Jared in the disguise of Amber. NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
Over this, Amber's eyes were reddened by her anger and regret.
It had never occurred to her that someone could be as filthy as such.
Seeing Amber quivering with rage, Jared reached out his hand to comfort her, but he was stopped by
Amber indifferently.
Looking at the cold face of her, Jared felt quite frustrated.
She had not forgiven him.
Jared explained, "Now you know why I said the one I loved was always you, not Makenna?"
Amber's eyes tickled, but she did not say a word.
Staring at her, Jared felt a bit nervous.
He had no idea how she would reply, nor did he know she believed his words or not.
If she believed, would she forgive him?
Silence had reigned this place.
And that had made Jared more and more upset.
Eventually, Amber opened her mouth with her calm eyes fixed on his face, "Mr. Farrell, you said the
one you loved was always me, but for me that was not the fact."
"What do you mean?" Jared was stunned.
Amber smiled faintly, "Mr. Farrell, said you loved Maple Leaf, but Maple Leaf is me. We've been
married for as long as six years, but you failed to realize that. And you said you loved me? If so, you
must have known Makenna was fake."
"No, that's not what happened. I did try to …"
"That's enough," Amber raised her hand to stop him, "I don't want to talk about it anymore. I don't
believe you. If you love me, you will realize I am Maple Leaf. And I think the one you love is the girl
called Maple Leaf, not Amber Reed."
Amber stared at him and continued, "You did not come to say you love me until you found I was Maple
Leaf. You've been so cold to me when I was only Amber Reed. Don't you realize that you've always
been treating me and Maple Leaf as two different people?"
Jared bit his lips softly and said, "Indeed, I treated you and Maple Leaf as two different people. But I did
fall in love with you even when I didn't know the truth. I just failed to notice it."
Amber was shocked by his words.
He fell in love with her even when he didn't know she was Maple Leaf?
Was that even possible?
Amber quickly calmed down and sneered, "Sorry, Mr. Farrell. You can fool a little girl with those words,
but I've become something else. It's hard to believe that someone would fail to know who he loves.
That's ridiculous."
Jared lowered his head.
She was unwilling to believe his love for her even he had made the truth clear to her.
"And Mr. Farrell, why did you tell me those? Makenna has been in the disguise of Maple Leaf for six
years. Why don't you let her be Maple Leaf? Now you want me to play the role of Maple Leaf and you
are trying to remarry me?" Amber said with a contemptuous smile on her face.
Jared expressed his agreement by remaining silence.
Amber smiled scornfully, "So, I am right? You don't even care to have a glimpse of me when I was
merely Amber Reed. But you said you loved me and you are now trying to remarry me as soon as you
know the truth. How dare you? I am not someone you can discard at any time like a scrap of paper! I
tell you, Mr. Farrell, I am not a whore. I will never get remarried with you. I don't love you anymore!"
If he could find the fact before Makenna was awake, she would fall in love with him again even if the
one he loved was only the girl called Maple Leaf. She actually didn't mind whether he was his old self
or not.
After all, it was a doubtless fact that he was the man named Jared Farrell and she was Maple Leaf.
She believed she could turn his love for Maple Leaf to the love for Amber Reed.
But she could not turn back time.
Though Amber had said the same for several times, Jared still felt agonized the moment he heard her
words.
"Just leave, Mr. Farrell. What happened had happened and we cannot go back in time," Amber said
while retreating, "Maybe we are not destined to love from the beginning."
Before Jared could say anything, his phone rang.
He frowned and took out his phone. It was Trenton Gardner.
He did not answer the phone and said firmly, "I know you are shocked by what I said today. But I won't
give up!"
After that, he looked at her affectionately for a few seconds before he walked out of the room.
