The Born Winner (Jack and Katherine) novel Chapter 144

Steve was really drunk.

And not just a little.

Jack didn't dare to stay much longer, so he left quietly.

He never thought that a simple meeting with parents would end up in Steve getting himself drunk, and performing an engagement.

This father-in-law, was really something.

The main point was, a couple of million were really not much!

If he was really asking for her hand, then he would have prepared much more, it must be at least what Mr. Ward had mentioned before.

The thing that left him most helpless was, the scene just before, really hurt Amber.

Steve had already pushed the whole situation to this point, Jack was beyond dispute.

Sitting in the car, Jack looked very helpless, suffering.

Mr. Ward and Brent both looked confused.

"Young Master, are you bothered by something?" Mr. Ward asked.

Jack smiled helplessly, "I spend a few hundred million, and made Steve drunk, and then he thought I came to ask for Amber's hand."

Mr. Ward suddenly laughed.

"Asking for her hand with simply a few hundred million? What do they think of the Hughes!"

Jack shrugged, "I wonder as well, and I told him the truth, but he didn't believe me, and now Amber is angry too. It was supposed to be a nice get-together with her parents, but now we parted unhappily."

Mr. Ward smiled, "Actually, you are really in the age now, and you are single, Amber is also single, you are a perfect fit, I think you should give it a thought."

"But right now I just want to make DT bigger."

Jack's eyes flashed.

DT was in a dangerous situation, which gave him the chance to see how powerful the Hughes family really was.

With what he had achieved so far, compared to the Hughes family, he was nothing, and could be destroyed in just a second.

He never wanted to experience the feeling of having somebody holding a knife to his heart, waiting for his own death.

"Young Master, you can wait, but can Amber wait too?"

Mr. Ward said with a smile, his voice was very deep, "She has already waited three years for you, how many more can a girl wait?"

This statement, worked like a knife that slashed on Jack's heart.

It cause him to feel like struck by lightening, his heart skipped a beat.

In that moment, Jack was startled, and is gaze blurred.

The feeling of deep guilt was boiling in him.

Amber had spent three years of her best time to wait for him, but he wasn't ready to marry her and just wait for a great success?

What was that?

Letting her down!

Jack took a deep breath, and said, "Yeah, I was wrong, I need to give her something in return, simply loving her would only be letting her down for her waiting!"

As Jack was speaking, his eyes became determined.

"Get ready to propose to her!"

Mr. Ward smiled and nodded, "That's great, the day Young Master propose to her, I will send you a big gift!"

.....

In the Bamboo Grove.

Steve already passed out due to the alcohol.

Amber was leaning on the fence, the nightly wind blowing in her hair, her eyes were read, and tears were filling them.

She was waiting!

Waiting for three years!

She never thought that this is what she would get in return!

That scene was playing in her head over and over again, paining her.

Even though her father got drunk and made a very uncomfortable scene for Jack.

Jack's answer made her feel adrift, her heart was aching.

"Amber, it's late, you should go to bed, it's too cold, take care, don't catch a cold." Rosie said to her daughter lovingly.
