The Born Winner (Jack and Katherine) novel Chapter 221

Steve and Rosie left in a hurry.

Amber did not expect that either.

However, Minister Mable was clear of the situation. The couple was going back to follow-up on the plans of QY International Group.

After the explanation.

Jack and Amber understood the situation.

The night breeze was a little cold.

His mother and Mr.Ward went in the car.

Jack held on to Amber’s hand. They were not in rush to go home.

They strolled in the bamboo grove to wake themselves from the wine.

“Amber, thank you. Thank you to your parents too.” Jack said suddenly.

“Dummy, there’s no need to thank us. We are a family now.” Amber playfully scolded, “Silly you.”

Jack chucked. He looked deep into Amber’s eyes,

“I understand that Mr. and Mrs. Knight want us to be eased.”

Happiness as the betrothal gift was just a saying.

Since Amber was going to get married to him, he should bring her happiness.

And rejecting the betrothal gift was the deep concern of Steve and his wife about him and Amber.

He was the heir of the Hughes family, and he sure had his wealth.

How much should he give to Amber, who was brought up in such a wealthy family?

The Hughes was the winner that had defeated others and taken all.

If the heirs wanted to stand out and be the next head of the family, they should keep on proving themselves worthy.

And he was different from every heir in the family.

He would not have the chance to be an heir if it was not because his father had opposed the rejection of others for the sake of him.

Because of that, he wanted to enter the Hughes family and make the glory that should have belonged to his mother, surround her again.

He could do that only by being better than other heirs in the family, not just a little, but much better!

A full score was what he needed to defeat all the heirs for once and for all.

The betrothal gift would undoubtedly delay many of his plans for a short time.

Steve and his wife clearly understood that.

That was why they rejected Jack!

He let out a deep breath filled with the scent of wine. Jack patted Amber’s head with love.

“You are the silly one. Come, let’s go home.”

Jack pulled Amber’s hand and took her to the car.

Mr.Ward sent Amber home first before heading back to TM Villa District.

Jack slept soundly that night.

He dreamt of Amber and his wedding.

That made him wake up at about almost noon.

Jack, who was used to getting up early and have a busy day looked at the sunshine outside his window and was a little lost.

“How long it had been since the last time I’ve slept like that?”

He stretched and washed up.

Jack went downstairs. His mother, Mr.Ward and Daisy were all sitting in the living room watching TV.

“Mom, why didn’t you wake me up since I overslept?”

“It’s rare to see you sleep so soundly. Why shouldn’t I let you sleep longer?”

Sophie smiled gently and said with care.

However, Mr. Ward, who was sitting in front of the TV sent him a gaze, signaling him to walk towards them.

Jack frowned and went to have a look.

The news that the news channel on the TV broadcasted made him frown more.

Because the news broadcasted was about the murder of Harold from the Quinn family in X city.

The news broadcast was coming to an end. The news ended in just shortly few seconds.

Sophie turned around and asked Jack, “Are you hungry?”

Daisy stood up at once, “I’ll go and prepare lunch now.”

Jack shook his head, “I’m not hungry. Mr. Ward, let’s go on a walk.”

Both of them walked out of the villa.

They strolled in the garden. None of them spoke.
