Love Letters From My EX

Chapter 253 The Real Maple Leaf



“Mr. Farrell!” at this time, Ben Channing flung the door open without a knock and rushed in rapidly.

Jared frowned with displeasure and asked, “What happened?”

Instead of responding, Ben looked around the office, searching for something.

Jared compressed his lips and asked coldly, “What are you looking for?”

“Mr. Farrell, where is Miss Reed?” asked Ben.

Hearing the name, Jared recalled what he had done to the cup and he slightly rubbed his lips. He looked down and said, “She left.”Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

“Left?” Ben asked loudly.

Jaren Farrell rubbed his temples and walked towards his desk. He asked, “What do you want with her?”

“Mr. Farrell, don’t you remember that I have just been to the Cobalt Coast?” Ben replieds.

Hearing this, Jared stopped and turned around. He stared at Ben and asked, “What do you mean? Maple Leaf has something to do with Amber?’

His heart began to beat faster and faster.

Ben nodded heavily and said, “Yes. I have been to Cobalt Coast and found out the mailing address of Maple Leaf. Turns out it’s the Reed’s villa.”

“Amber is Maple Leaf?!” Jared was goggle-eyed. He clenched his fist tightly and even trembled a little.

Ben responded rapidly, “Yes, Miss Reed is definitely Maple Leaf, 100% for sure! Maple Leaf once said that she had a step-mother and sister and she had a dog called Spotty. And now it turned out that the mailing address points to the Reed’s villa. Miss Reed must be Maple Leaf.”

After such a long statement, Ben gasped a little. He readjusted his breath and continued, “Above all, although Maple Leaf’s handwriting was not as mature as Miss Reed’s handwriting, they were definitely written by the same person. But we didn’t notice that. What’s more, Miss Reed and Maple Leaf have the same life story and background, which can’t be a coincidence. It was so strange that we didn’t even think about that before.”

Ben patted on his head and muttered, “Is there anything wrong with my brain?”

Jared slammed the desk, blue veins throbbing on his arms. He said, “No, there was nothing wrong with your brain. Someone did something to prevent us from thinking from this aspect.”

All the Farrell family as well as Ben knew his story with Maple Leaf, but none of them found out the similarities between Maple Leaf and Amber.

This meant that all of them had been influenced by that mysterious power.

Ben didn’t understand Jared. He gaped, “Mr. Farrell, do you mean that someone doesn’t want us to know Miss Reed is Maple Leaf? Who’s that ‘someone’? Is that Makenna? But it doesn’t make sense…”

Ben shook his head and refuted his guess. He continued, “It is quite normal that Makenna doesn’t want us to know the truth, but she can’t control our thoughts. None of us has ever thought about the similarities between Miss Reed and Maple Leaf, which is so bizarre.”

“Do you believe that there is a kind of mysterious power that can control our thoughts and feelings?” Jared suddenly asked.

Ben was confused by the question at first. And then, he smiled and answered, “Of course, there is. It is called hypnosis.”

After his words, something suddenly occurred to him and he said, “Mr. Farrell, so you went to your psychologist because you thought that you had been hypnotized, right? Well, I had thought that you went to him because you were too stressed.”

Ben could also infer from what Mr. Farrell just said that Ben himself seemed to have be hypnotized too.

There was unfathomable darkness in Jared’s eyes. His silence confirmed Ben’s guess.

Although Dr. Swift told him that he hadn’t been hypnotized, he still believed his guess was right.

Dr. Swift just couldn’t see it.

Maybe the one who had hypnotized him was more accomplished in hypnosis than Dr. Swift.

Trapped in confusion, Ben rubbed his face and murmured, “How could that be…”

Jared looked down and gave his order, “From now on, you need to find out and contact the best hypnotists in the world. The more, the better.”

“Yes, sir!” Ben responded immediately with determination.

If they had truly been hypnotized, they would need help from the best hypnotists.

And then, Ban posed another question as something occurred to him, “Mr. Farrell, do you want to tell Miss Reed the truth and reunite with her?”

Tell her the truth and reunite with her…

Jared lowered his head, making no answer.

He would definitely be willing to reunite with Maple Leaf before he knew that she was Amber.

But now, when he knew that the two girls were the same person, he lost his gut since his relationship with Amber was too complicated.

Ben seemed to understand Jared’s dilemma, he signed and said, “Mr. Farrell, I know that you said you loved Makenna only because you thought that she was Maple Leaf. Actually, all of us know that you don’t truly love her.”

Hearing this, Jared finally opened his mouth and said, “When did you know that I didn’t love her?”

“Well, long ago,” said Ben. He continued, “Six years ago, when you first met Makenna, there was no affection in your eyes although you told us that you loved her. You were kind to her only because you thought that she was Maple Leaf. However, when you mentioned Maple Leaf, I could indeed see love in your eyes. That is to say, from the very beginning, in your opinion, Maple Leaf had nothing to do with Makenna.”

Jared became silent.

He could learn from Ben’s words that he indeed had never loved Makenna before, which had already been figured out by Ben six years ago, but not by himself until the car accident.

So, could this be again ascribed to that mysterious force?

“Mr. Farrell, there is one more thing I want to tell you. The one you love is Miss Reed,” Ben pushed up his glasses and added.

Jared asked in disbelief, “I love Amber?”

“Well, yes. You have fallen in love with her for a long time and you are the only one who doesn’t know it. Lady Georgia, Mr. Cohen and I have found out the truth a long time ago. We didn’t tell you because we want you to find it out yourself since you may disbelieve us,” Ben shrugged.

Jared felt bitter in his mouth. He couldn’t utter a single syllable and countless of thoughts was springing out of his brain.

The one he loved was Amber?

How could that be possible?

Yet he couldn’t find a single word to refute.

He loved Maple Leaf. Now that Maple Leaf and Amber were the same person, he would naturally love Amber.

But it was obvious that Ben didn’t mean that.

What Ben meant was that he had fallen in love with Amber before he knew that the two girls were the same person.

“Why do you tell me this now?” Jared asked with a hoarse voice.

Ben slightly scratched his head and said, “Well, it is because now we know that they are the same person. Previously, when I found out that you had fallen in love with Miss Reed, I knew that you had stopped loving Maple Leaf. From then on, your feelings towards your pen pal have become merely obsession. You made yourself believe that you still loved her. And now, since we know the truth, I can be blunt with you.”

The darkness in Jared’s eyes grew deeper and he lapsed back into silence.

He finally understood. By far, he had always believed that the one he loved was Maple Leaf, but actually he had fallen in love with Amber long ago.

Now even though they were the same person, his love for Maple Leaf was different from his love for Amber because he didn’t know the truth when he fell in love with Amber.

That was why he seemed to lose something important when he divorced Amber and he would feel angry and unsufferable whenever he saw Amber be with other men.

At that moment, Jared finally understood why he would be influenced by Amber all the time and why he would do such a thing to the teacup just now. It was out of love.

All of his actions were controlled by his love instead of that mysterious power.

Seeing Jared’s expression, Ben knew that he had already figured the truth out. He encouraged Jared, “Mr. Farrell, go and reunite with Miss Amber. I believe that once she knows that you were her pen pal, she will definitely forgive you.”

Would she forgive him?

Jared compressed his lips.

He didn’t know whether Amber would forgive him or not. But he did want to ask her why she broke the promise six years ago and why the one who showed up at last was Makenna instead of her.

How did Makenna know about the letters?
