The Born Winner (Jack and Katherine) novel Chapter 41

The Porsche 911 sped along the road.

In the car, Jack felt grateful so he said, “Thank you for what you did.”

He really didn't foresee Amber's action.

As far as he knew, that's the first time Amber had lost her control.

But Jack knew that Amber did it to help him.

“Their family went over the line.” Amber was clearly still angry, “I feel sorry because you're treated unjustly.”

Jack smiled, “But you look pretty when you're angry.”

He was already cold towards the Parry family and Katherine since she took away his last 200 thousand to save his mother.

She just ignored his mother's life.

Even if he loved her more than that, it was enough for him to see through the Parry family and Katherine.

He didn't think there was anything wrong with Amber's action.

Furthermore, if Amber didn't burst out first... His reaction would definitely be bigger than hers.

Looking at the fast cars going backwards from the window, Jack said, “You're driving too fast.”

“I'm angry.” Amber muttered.

She stared intently to the front, but her eyes were swaying like she was thinking of something else.

They became silent in the car.

“Jack...”

After quite some time, Amber suddenly said something.

Jack turned his head and looked at Amber, “What's wrong?”

Amber spoke like she mustered her courage for it, “I'm serious about what I said just now.”

Jack was stunned.

Creak!

The Porsche 911 stopped at the riverside road.

Amber raised her hand and moved the long hairs on her forehead to the back.

Her big jewel-like eyes looked at Jack in all seriousness, “Do you know why I suddenly came back?”

Jack and Amber looked at each other, quite in a daze.

Right when Jack wanted to say something, Amber was one step ahead, “Because of you... I like you! I came back for you!”

That was so sudden so Jack was quite panic-stricken.

He pretended to be calm and smiled, “Is this a confession?”

Amber nodded in seriousness, “I have always liked you since sophomore year. But you have always liked Katherine, so I kept suppressing myself. When you got married, I wished you well as your bridesmaid... Hoping that you'll live a long and happy life with her, but ...”

After a pause, Amber lowered her head.

She then calmed down and said, “But I never thought that the Parry family would treat you like that. I knew what happened to you all these years, I knew it all... My heart hurts...”

The emotions that had calmed down surged up again.

That made Amber's tears flowed uncontrollably.

“I knew you have endured a lot for these three years. I can't even imagine how you're able to get through for the past month. So I immediately thought of coming back here after I knew that you and Katherine got a divorce. I want to be by your side and share your burden with me... Even if I'm just lending my shoulder for you to lean on.”

Jack was completely lost at the sight of Amber sobbing.

He hadn't sensed that Amber felt something special for him.

The way the two of them getting along since they knew each other in the university had always been full of laughter and jokes.

After taking a deep breath, Jack took the tissue and wiped Amber's tears.

He slowly spoke with a bitter smile, “It's not fair for you, I just got a divorce from Katherine not long ago.”

Amber had always been single, while he had divorced from Katherine.

“I don't care.”

Amber's eyes looked firm, “After three years being overseas... It's not like my parents didn't let me make some friends, I just can't forget you. Even if those guys were better, but I don't know why my mind was full of you every time I face them.”

Jack smiled and pretended like he's joking, “Why so serious? Am I still so charming?”

“I don't even know when did I start falling for you.”

Amber's crying voice sounded so pitiful and helpless.
