Love Letters, Divorce Papers (Jared and Amber)

Chapter 87 Basketball Game

"Ms. Reed, where are we going?" the driver asked as Amber got into the car.

Amber set her crutch aside and replied, "Sckycap Stadium." Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

"Alright." The driver answered and began driving.

Goldstone Co. was about an hour drive from Sckycap Stadium.

However, that stadium was near the airport, the most notorious congested area in Olkmore City.

Amber was caught in a traffic jam at this moment.

After an unknown amount of time spent stuck in traffic, it was already 4 p.m.

Logan stood on the basketball court in his number eight jersey. He was warming up while looking at the

rows of seats on the other side.

When he saw that none of the two-seats he had reserved was occupied, his heart was filled with

sadness and gloom.

What was wrong with them?

He couldn't believe that none of them showed up!

"Logan, what's up?" At that moment, a teammate walked over and patted his shoulder.

Logan shook his head and replied disappointedly, "Nothing."

"Alright then. Let's go over there. Coach is calling." After that, his teammate withdrew his hand and

walked towards the players' rest area.

Logan cast another glance at the seats again before following his teammate.

Beep!

The players lined up as the whistle blew. The game then began after the players from both teams

shook hands.

Logan was the team's ace small forward. When he got the ball from the center, he started to run.

He was fast and avoided his opponent's block in one shot. He quickly brought the ball inside the free-

throw line. Then, he jumped and threw the ball.

The ball was thrown in!

The audience erupted in applause.

Logan and his teammates gave each other high-fives happily.

"Logan, you're excellent! You showed them what you've got from the beginning!"

"That's true! I'm sure that we will definitely win if we keep playing like this."

"Go for it, Logan!"

Logan's teammates encouraged him by patting his shoulder.

Logan nodded in response and darted his gaze to the audience. However, those two seats remained

vacant.

Logan's eyes turned slightly red for a moment, and he felt even more aggrieved in his heart.

He had worked hard to secure the best seats, hoping that they would come to watch him play.

However, none of them came!

He had been looking forward to it for a long time!

Logan wiped his eyes with his arms. He then returned to his original position with disappointment, but

he was ready to grab the ball.

The ball was soon passed to him again by his teammates. He tapped the ball and was ready to attack.

However, the opponents sent three players to defend after knowing Logan's ability. Therefore, Logan

was unable to launch his attack.

Logan's heart sank when he saw the three players guarding against him and realized he had been

targeted.

This would be a challenging game!

Amber had finally arrived at the stadium at 4.30 p.m.

"Ms. Reed, I will wait for you in the car," said the driver after helping Amber get out of the car.

"Alright." Amber nodded and walked towards the stadium's entrance on her crutches.

She could hear sighs from the audience as she entered.

Amber looked around the court and noticed that many of the spectators were looking disappointed. She

was intrigued by what had happened.

She discovered the sources of people's dissatisfaction after looking at the scoreboard.

The score was 20-40 for the national team against Country K.

The national team had been trailing by twenty points.

How could they not be disappointed? The national team trailed by so many points behind the Country

when this match was being played on their home court?

"Excuse me!" Amber asked everyone to give way as she headed towards her seat.

When Amber got to her seat, another person came across from the other side.

Amber froze for a moment after they looked at each other.

It was Jared!

Jared was also surprised to see Amber here. He nodded before focusing his gaze on the ticket in her

hand, "Did Logan give you this?"

When Logan handed him the ticket yesterday, he saw Logan had another ticket in his hands.

He expected Logan to give the ticket to his friends, but he had given it to Amber.

Amber hinted as she sat down, "It was from him."

If she had known that Logan also gave the ticket to Jared, she wouldn't have come.

But now she couldn't do anything because she was already here.

Jared followed Amber to sit down so that he wouldn't block others.

"You're interested in basketball?" Jared asked suddenly when he looked at the court.

Amber frowned, "Are you talking to me?"

"Or who else could it be?" Jared said crossly.

He only knew her there. Was he talking to himself if he wasn't talking to her?

"I'm sorry. I just didn't expect you to talk to me first." Amber said as she turned back to the court, "I'm

not interested in basketball. I'm here today because I didn't wish to waste the ticket."

"Is that so?" Jared remained silent after saying this.

Amber didn't wish to bother him, so she watched the match quietly.

Jared stole a glance at her profile. He seemed to have thought g of something.

At this point, the spectators surrounding them started to complain.

"What the hell is this game? It started so well, and we still believed they had a good chance of winning.

Little did we know that Country K would pressure them."

"That's right. It was only the second quarter, and we were already trailing by a large margin. Is this

gonna be a crushing defeat?"

"Forget it, I'm not going to watch this match anymore. I thought it would be worth the price of the tickets

when I saw the opening game, but in the end, we had to see a bad game that pisses us off."

Many people in the audience had suddenly lost their expectations and enthusiasm. They dropped their

foam fingers and left.

Amber looked at the audience before returning her gaze to Logan. He was panting with exhaustion on

the court. Amber added, "It seems that he is going to lose."

Jared narrowed his eyes and didn't answer her words.

Beep!

The whistle blew again, indicating the end of the second quarter of the match. Both teams' players

went back to the rest area.

The coach scolded Logan, "What's wrong with you? You did so well in the first half. Why can't you

maintain your performance for the rest of the game? Did you give it your all?"

Logan remained silent and kept his head down.

When his teammates saw this, they put down their towels and advised, "Coach, let's forget it. They had

set their sights on Logan. There is no way for Logan to make the attack with three or four people on

defense…"

"What do you mean by there is no way? You guys also blocked him together during our training, but he

could breakthrough. Why isn't he able to do that now? I think he simply didn't play his best in the

game!" the coach scolded angrily.

Now those few teammates couldn't speak for Logan.

After all, what the coach said was right.

"I'm going to the washroom," said Logan after removing the towel from his back.

Jared pursed his lips and stood up after seeing this.

Amber smiled, "You're going to find him?"

Jared nodded slightly and said, "Logan wasn't on form. I will talk to him. Would you like to follow me?"

Jared also didn't know why he was asking her.

Amber pointed to her feet, "Do you think I can walk around? Besides, I didn't wish to meet him. This is

my final interaction with the Farrell's. After this competition, everything about you guys will be none of

my business."

After saying this, she picked up the water bottle and drank it.

Jared gave her a long stare before walking away.
