Seeing this, Makenna gritted her teeth and had the impulse to throw away the lunch box in her hand.
But she knew that if she really did that, others would start to taunt her again.
Makenna closed her eyes and took a deep breath to suppress her anger.
Everyone began to have their lunch.
Jared also opened the lunch box, and the aroma of the food immediately wafted out.
It tasted good.
But he felt that it was not as tasty as the pasta last night.
He didn't know why he felt this way. It was obviously that the chef was better than Amber in cooking.
But he just felt that it lacked of something.
As for what it was, he couldn't tell.
"Makenna, why don't you eat?" Seeing that Makenna didn't eat and didn't even open the lid of the lunch box, Jared asked.
Makenna's eyes flickered over him as she smiled. "I'm not hungry yet."
"I think you don't dare eat, right?" Cole said sarcastically.
Makenna was a little angry. "Mr. Lyon, what exactly do you mean!?"
Cole curled his lips. "I mean that the food is warmed by Amber. You have hurt her so many times, so I don't think you have the nerve to eat it. Are you afraid that my babe will poison you?"
Makenna seemed a little embarrassed because he had read her mind. But she quickly lowered her gaze and forced a smile as she replied, "Mr. Lyon, you must be joking. I don't want to eat it just because I'm not hungry. I'll go over there and get some fresh air."
After that, she put down the lunch box and walked toward the cliff not far away.
Jared pursed his lips. Unwilling to leave her alone, he closed the lunch box and went over.
Cole watched them leave and snorted. "She really knows how to argue."
"All right, even the food can't stop you from speaking." Amber rolled her eyes and stuffed a piece of meat into his mouth.
Cole jumped up hot. "Babe, do you want to kill me?"
Amber sneered. "All your fault. Why open your mouth so wide?"
Hearing this, the others also laughed.
Cole sat down again depressed.
Not far away, Jared also looked depressed as he watched this harmonious scene.
They had come to climb the mountain together, but for some reason, he and Makenna could not fit in.
Even Hayden and Logan distanced themselves from him and Makenna.
It had never happened before. It seemed that since he was with Makenna, the situation had gradually become like this.
"Jared, what are you thinking about?" Just then, Makenna said.
Jared collected his thoughts and turned his head back. "Nothing."
Makenna nodded as if she believed him.
She looked at the mountains in the distance and said, "In fact, Mr. Lyon is right. I don't eat because I am too ashamed to eat it. I had hurt Miss Reed although I didn't mean to, so how can I have the nerve to eat the meal which was warmed by her?"
"I know." Jared raised his chin and said, "I'm sorry, but I didn't think about it carefully. I should've brought more food."
"It doesn't matter." Makenna hugged his arm, leaned her head against his shoulder, and said with a smile, "I'll just endure for a while. It's the same when I go down the mountain to eat later."
"Aren't you hungry?" Jared turned to look at her.
Makenna shook her head. "I'm fine. Not that hungry. Are you hungry? If you're hungry, go back and eat."
As she spoke, she raised her head and let go of his arm.
Jared stood still and said, "It's okay. I'm not hungry. I'll go back to eat with you at the foot of the mountain."
"Throwing stones?" Jared narrowed his eyes threateningly and locked onto Amber and the others, "Who did it?"
Amber drank the water with an indifferent expression and ignored him.
Cole was wearing headphones and listening to music, so he did not respond.
Stella and Hayden were playing mobile games together, pretending not to hear anything.
Jared saw this and pursed his thin lips coldly. In the end, he fixed his gaze on Logan, who was burying his head so low that it was obvious that there was something wrong with him, "Logan, stand up!"
"Why did you call me?" A flicker of guilty showed in Logan's eyes as he stood up.
"Apologize." Jared ordered in a deep voice.
Logan snapped, "For what?"
"You hit Makenna."
"How did you know it was me?" Logan's eyes widened.
Cole also stood up and patted him on the shoulder with a smile, "Silly boy, panic is written all over your face. Anyone can tell it's you."
"Is... is that so?" Logan blinked in a daze.
Amber, Hayden and Stella couldn't help laughing when they saw him like this.
Cole sighed directly, "Alas, what a silly boy."
Logan's face turned red, "Who's stupid? I'm just not good at pretending to be lying, unlike someone..."
He looked at the woman beside Jared with disdain.
Makenna clenched her fists in anger and wished she could tear Logan apart.
She had planned to drive him and Shonna Woodham out of the Farrell's Mansion after she and Jared got married.
But now she had changed her mind. She wanted to drive that mother and son out of the Farrell family completely, which was the consequence of offending her.
