Chapter 141 What She's So Smug About?
Chapter 141 What She's So Smug About?
Makenna could see that Jared agreed with Hayden. She hated Hayden inwardly.
She knew that Hayden was deliberately digging a trap for her. Because she didn't want to hike, so he
forced her to.
But she had to jump into the trap, or she would really be the one who was hypocritical as he thought.
Thinking of this, Makenna cursed Hayden in her heart, but she said with a smile on her face, "Mr.
Cohen, you're funny. I said that the mountain is too high but I didn't say that I would go back."
"Oh? So you still want to go up there?" Hayden raised his eyebrows and looked at her.
Makenna nodded. "Of course."
"Oh, that's great." Hayden smiled.
Jared looked at Makenna and said, "Makenna, you don't have to listen to Hayden. If you really don't
want to hike, you can..."
"Jared, it doesn't matter. I can do it." Makenna raised her hand to stop him from speaking.
Seeing her insistence, Jared could only give up.
"Oh no, it is so cheesy." Stella looked at them and couldn't help shivering.
Amber smiled. "Is it?"
Stella curled her lips and said, "We're here to hike. Look at how lovey-dovey they are. This is not a
soup opera. Oh, look, cover their lips with hands. It really gave me the goose bumps. Cheesy, cheesy,
cheesy!"
Amber looked back at Jared and Makenna and nodded with a grin. "Yes, a little."
"Okay, Mr. Reed. Let's go. It's such an eyesore." Stella took her arm.
Amber nodded and entered the mountain.
Jared who was at the end of the line heard the conversation between her and Stella, and seemed to be
a little unhappy.
Did the way he and Makenna interacted with each other look cheesy to them?
"Jared, what are you thinking about?" Makenna shook his arm.
Jared came to his senses and said, "Nothing, let's go."
They also entered the mountain entrance.
Since no one else wanted to be with them, Jared and Makenna walked behind them.
At first, the seven of them slowly moved forward one by one.
However, halfway through, Logan suddenly proposed to race to the top of the mountain.
When he proposed, he deliberately glanced at Cole provocatively.
Of course, Cole could not bear this arrogant boy and agreed to participate in the race.
Hayden joined in the fun.
Stella also wanted to join, but Cole asked her to stay with Amber to protect her.
After all, he was not at ease letting Amber to walk with Jared and Makenna.
The three men ran away at the same time, leaving Amber, Stella, Jared and Makenna walking slowly
behind them.
After walking for a while, Makenna suddenly sat down on a rock and gasped. "Jared, I'm so tired."
Jared also stopped, took a bottle of water from his bag, opened it, and handed it to her. "Drink some."
"Thank you, Jared." Makenna took it over with a smile.
Jared took out another bottle of water and handed it to Amber.
Although Amber was a little surprised, she still rejected him and said, "Thank you, Mr. Farrell, but I
don't need it. I'm afraid that if I accept it, your fiancée's other personality would come out and kill me."
After that, she pulled Stella away.
Watching her walk away, Jared pursed his lips and put away the water.
Makenna could tell that he was a little displeased. She grips the bottle so hard that it was almost
twisted.
"Was he unhappy because of being rejected by Amber?"
Makenna lowered her eyes to hide the maliciousness in her eyes. She said apologetically, "I'm sorry,
Jared. It's all because of me that Miss Reed..."
"It has nothing to do with you." Jared put the bottle of water back in his backpack and looked at her.
"Do you feel better?"
Makenna nodded. "Yeah."
"Then let's go on." Jared reached out to her, intending to pull her up.
However, Makenna didn't move. "I'm sorry, Jared. My feet hurt so much that I probably can't walk."
"You hurt your feet?" Jared frowned and looked at her feet. "Did you sprain your ankle?"
"No." She shook her head. "It's just that I haven't exercised for too long, so..."
Jared understood. He rubbed his temples, carried his backpack in the front, and squatted down with his
back to Makenna. "Come up."
A smile with joy appeared on Makenna's face, but it quickly disappeared. She pretended to be
confused and asked, "Jared, what are you doing!?"
"I'll carry you up." Jared looked at the mountain in front of him and said to her.
Makenna waved her hand. "Nah. It'll be a long time before we reach the top of the mountain."
"It's okay. Come up." Jared repeated.
Makenna didn't refuse again and lay on his back.
Jared stood up with her on his back and walked forward.
Soon, they caught up with Amber and Stella.
Seeing the two figures in front of her, Makenna rolled her eyes. She purposely pointed to a rock in front
of them and shouted, "Jared, look over there. The rock looks so strange."
Hearing her, Amber and Stella turned back subconsciously.
Seeing Jared walking over with Makenna on his back, both of them were stunned.
"Damn! He actually walked all the way here with Makenna on his back. Mr. Farrell really thinks he's a NôvelDrama.Org content rights.
superman?" Stella whispered.
Amber shrugged. "If he's willing, why do you care?"
"I don't care." Stella rolled her eyes. "I just don't like to see Makenna looking so smug. Do you think that
I don't know why she shouts so loud? She wants us to see Mr. Farrell carrying her on his back."
Amber smiled, "Okay, she's coming. Stop talking."
Stella made a face and stopped talking.
"Miss Reed, Miss Chan." Makenna waved at them with a smile when they caught up with Amber and
Stella.
However, the two ignored her and sat on the side of the road, fanning with their hands.
Jared looked at Amber.
She seemed to be tired of walking, and was pounding her calf with one hand.
Stella sat next to her and handed her water.
After she took it, she smiled brightly at Stella.
Thinking of how aloof Amber was when he handed water to her, Jared felt a little fidgety. Then, he
carried Makenna and walked forward.
Stella looked at their backs and tilted her head in confusion. "It's strange. Why is Mr. Farrell angry? Did
anyone provoke him?"
"Who knows?" Amber took a sip of water, looked forward, and replied indifferently.
Noticing they were looking at her, Makenna turned her head and smiled smugly at Amber. Then, she
wrapped her arms around the man's neck to swear her sovereignty.
Before Amber could react, Stella laughed with anger. "Ms. Reed, that woman is provoking you. You
don't love Mr. Farrell anymore. What is she thinking? Does she think you will be jealous of her?"
Amber drank the water and smiled faintly. "I don't know what she is so smug about. Does she think that
I still love Jared and will be jealous? Well, don't talk about these unimportant people. Let's go on. Cole
and the others are probably at the top of the mountain now."
"You are right." Stella put the bag on her back again, ready to continue.
So did Amber.
As they chatted, they kept a distance from Jared and Makenna.
About an hour later, they arrived at the top of the mountain.
When Cole saw Amber, he was happy. "Darling!"
He trotted over and took her backpack.
As for Stella, he subconsciously ignored her.
Stella didn't need him to take her bag. She rolled her eyes and walked to the camp.
Amber looked at Cole who was sweat all over. "How long have you been here?"
