The Born Winner (Jack and Katherine) novel Chapter 381

The river breeze was cool. The lights glimmered on the surface of the river.

That person wore a long thin black colored sundress and quietly leaned onto the railing. Under the glow of dusk, she looked rather melancholy.

“Master, missus, what’s wrong?” Brent quickly went forward and asked when he noticed that something was amiss.

“Let’s go home,” Jack said suddenly. He was initially cheerful but now he suddenly turned sullen and even appeared disgusted.

Home?! Brent was surprised and quickly looked towards Jack and then he understood the situation.

Then, a gentle hand held onto Jack’s arm as Amber said, “It’s been so many years, won’t you even greet her?”

“There is no need to.” Jack didn’t hide his disgust. Three years of marriage were all filled with pain. When his mother was seriously ill, she could even take the money for medical treatment to give them to her brother. Even after their divorce, she continued to think of ways to swindle him for money. Have a clean break if there was no longer love. But to her, it became torturous and nothing but hurt.

He was even sure that if it had not been for Amber’s graciousness, he and Amber would not be together now.

Jack clenched his teeth, “Don’t you think that Katherine had caused us enough problems?”

Amber hesitated and didn’t continue to insist. She then turned to leave with Jack.

When they got into the car and left, that person at the railing finally moved. Her slim fingers tucked her hair behind her ear and then smiled, “The past belonged in the past. I should let it go and welcome the future.”

Katherine slowly turned her head and prepared to leave. She smiled beautifully like in the past except that she now looked more matured and tranquil. It was as if she had endured a storm. She no longer had the temper and attitude like in the past.

As Katherine raised her head, she saw the Rolls Royce driving away. She was stunned. That car looked familiar. Katherine looked back at the river bank and tucked her hair behind her ears and her eyes glimmered, “Were you here just now?”

She smiled bitterly and brushed her sundress and walked in the opposite direction. A Range Rover was waiting at the roadside. When she got into the car, the driver turned and said respectfully, “Miss Parry, Mr. Long called and said that there are changes to the plan. Tonight’s dinner is canceled.”

“Okay, let’s go to his place,” Katherine said calmly.

“What?” The driver was surprised.

“Go to his house,” Katherine said.

The driver’s expression changed drastically as if he was dreaming. His anxious voice shuddered, “Miss, Miss Parry, you agreed to our Mr. Long?”

“Yes.” Katherine nodded.

“Mr. Long will be overjoyed if he knows about this. I’ll call him now to congratulate him!”

The driver started the car and called Lyndall.

Lyndall’s breathing became flustered and smiled radiantly, “Quick, pass the phone to Katherine. I want to hear her say it personally.” Lyndall said excitedly.

Very soon he could hear Katherine’s voice, “Aren’t you willing to?”

“Willing! I’m willing! I’ve waited this day for a long time!” Lyndall’s voice trembled and said excitedly, “Come home. From today onwards, this will be your home. You will be my most beloved. I will give you everything as long as you are happy!”

“Thanks,” Katherine said as she almost cried.

Lyndall was stunned, “Katherine, what’s the matter? Why are you crying?”

“Nothing, thanks Lyndall,” Katherine said with a trembling voice and ended the call.

Lyndall was stunned, was Katherine overcome with joy? Yes, that must be it!

Lyndall thought about it and quickly instructed the servants to clean up the villa and refresh his room. He thought again and then asked the servant to prepare another room.

This was out of respect for Katherine. He would not force her unless she was willing, especially when she was his beloved. What Lyndall didn’t know was Katherine’s “thanks” had a profound meaning.

It was said when she was totally devastated and was grateful to have finally found a safe harbor…
