Winner Takes All novel Chapter 165

As the darkness faded and Steve finally saw Mr. Ward clearly.

Kaboom!

Steve felt like a lightning bolt had struck him. For a short moment, his mind was blank and a huge wave stirred in his heart.

This was… Mr. Ward?! Over these years, Steve tried repeatedly to visit the head of the Hughes family. Each time the person who greeted him at the Hughes family was Mr. Ward. He knew Mr. Ward rather well. Mr. Ward was the most trusted servant of the head of the Hughes family!

But… why was he here?

Steve was dazed and his face turned red, his breathing quickened and his neck tensed up. Suddenly he tripped and almost fell but thankfully Rosie held onto him.

Not far away, Artist Warnock looked on in surprise while Minister Mable and Director Lansing exchanged looks and laughed. As Steve’s good friends, they of course knew how much Steve wanted to meet the Hughes family.

But such fate…

“Mable, you were right.” Artist Warnock knew about Steve’s desires but he didn’t know Mr. Ward. Minister Mable laughed and rubbed his chin and said, “Steve’s long-time desires had been achieved by his daughter. Don’t you think that’s amusing?”

“Desires?” Artist Warnock looked at Steve and Rosie on the stage.

Under the spotlights, Jack held onto Amber’s waist and Amber held onto Sophie. Mr. Ward stood quietly on one side and looked at the approaching Steve and Rosie.

Steve’s footsteps were unsteady and if not for his wife, he might not be able to walk.

Mr. Ward was only the trusted servant of the head of the Hughes family. But he was very clear of this servant’s status. In the Hughes family, only this servant could represent the head of the family to carry out his instructions.

Doubt, shock, disbelief, and all sorts of feelings stirred in his mind. Unknowingly, Steve’s forehead started to perspire.

“Dad, mom, this is Jack’s mother.” Amber smiled, welcomed her parents and introduced them.

“Nice to meet you, I’m Jack’s mother, Sophie.” Sophie smiled warmly.

“Nice to meet you, Sophie, from today onwards we are one family.” Rosie maintained her composure and replied Sophie.

Each time she came back with Steve, Steve went alone to meet the Hughes family. Thus, Rosie did not know Mr. Ward.

“Uncle and Auntie, I hope that you’ll accept my apologies for what happened just now.” Jack apologized because of the incident with the photographs. Amber’s parents must have been angry with the issue. Which parents wouldn’t be protective of their daughter?

“It’s alright now that the misunderstanding had been resolved.”

Rosie smiled and said, “Jack, since you have proposed to Amber, allow me to remind you that from today onwards, both of you must cherish, trust, support, and love each other. I hope that you’ll remember what you said about ‘never will we part’.” These were said seriously and without hesitation. Not only was it a reminder, but it was also a warning.

Jack smiled and nodded.

Rosie now realized that Steve had been behaving strangely with his wobbly legs and tensed neck, “Hey, your daughter was just being proposed to. Aren’t you going to say something to Jack’s family and Amber?”

Steve braced himself and firmly nodded, “Yes, I do need to say something.”

Before saying, he bent and composed himself. Steve’s physique was tall and strong. When he bent himself, it looked kind of silly.

Then, to everyone’s surprise, Steve stepped forward a couple of steps toward the silent Mr. Ward. He extended both of his hands and smiled radiantly.
