Winner Takes All novel Chapter 296

The bedroom looked dusky.

There was only dim light from the bedside table lamp.

Amber Knight leaned against the head of her bed. Her face looked tired and haggard but she did not feel like sleeping at all. She also had bloodshot eyes.

She looked lonely and sad, and this made the others feel bad.

In fact, she had almost spent the long night this way for three days straight.

She was repressing, controlling, and suppressing her feelings.

As she knew that what had happened was crucial to Jack Hughes.

At this moment, if she was not able to suppress her feelings, it would only make Jack be in a more desperate situation.

As his wife, if she did not help him, who else was going to help him?

She was Jack’s wife. The only rational thought reminded her that she should stand by Jack quietly to support him!

She knew how Jack had come this far.

He had not only devoted sweat but also blood.

She loved Jack so she was willing to wait for him for three years.

She was not willing to backstab her beloved man at this crucial moment. It would only make Jack’s effort vanish like bubbles.

Amber really could not do this!

She also knew Jack’s personality but there was ironclad proof for what Ivy Hughes had exposed.

She did not want to doubt him. However, she was a woman and the matter was so sensitive.

This kind of entangled emotion was like a sharp knife provoking her nerves without mercy, giving her indescribable pain.

The sound of the promises that Jack had made to her lingered around her ears.

Those promises he made, were they true?

This kind of thought was in Amber’s mind all the time.

Creak!

The door was opened.

Yet, Amber did not move at all.

It was because she knew that those who could enter her room these few days were either Daisy Hill or Jack.

And for now, it was impossible for Daisy to enter her room.

“Amber…”

Looking at Amber who was on the bed, Jack felt heartbroken.

He walked towards the bed in guilt, knelt on the floor, and showed a gentle smile, “Thank you!”

“I am fine. Go and do your work.” Amber forced a smile as she looked at Jack.

However, the haggard face with bloodshot eyes made Jack feel as if a knife was piercing his heart.

Before that, Amber was extremely pretty!

Yet, she had become like this because of the matter.

Slap!

Suddenly, Jack slapped his face.

The slap was strong and powerful.

Amber’s facial expression had changed, “What are you doing?”

She immediately raised her hand to rub Jack’s face as she exclaimed.

Even so, the red fingerprint was quickly seen.

“I am sorry. I had made you suffer for these few days.” Jack felt extremely guilty.

He had promised to bring happiness to this woman in front of him!

“It is fine. I am really fine.” Amber felt bad about him. She rubbed Jack’s face and said while shaking her head.

Suddenly.

Jack passed his phone in front of Amber.

“We won!”

His right thumb pressed the play button of Ivy’s apologizing video as he said.

Amber was suddenly absent-minded.

She had not followed the media for few hours.

As Ivy’s apologizing voice sounded in the video.

Amber’s small body could not help to tremble and her pretty hand which touched Jack slowly dropped.

She took the phone and stared at it with her bloodshot eyes.

Her eyes slowly became a blur as tears could be seen in her eyes.

Her small body was also trembling.

In the video, Ivy narrated what had happened that night.

Amber’s loud cries echoed in the bedroom.

After three days of repression and feeling wronged, Amber had completely let out her emotions with the clarification.

The sound of her cries slowly became softer.

Amber slowly moved out from Jack’s hug. Her eyes were red and swollen. Her tears were still falling as she looked at the wet part of Jack’s clothes around his chest.

“I have made you wet.”

Jack lowered his head and looked at the wet clothes. He smiled and shrugged, “Yeah, I am really wet.”

Amber’s pretty face was blushed as she realized the other meaning of the words.

She quickly took the tissue in Jack’s hand and wiped off the tears around the corners of her eyes.

“Did I look ugly when I cried? Would you dislike me if I acted like an unreasonable kid?”

“You are forever a kid in my heart. I will adore and cherish you.”

Jack smiled gently. Why would he dislike her when he had this kind of wife?

Amber rolled her eyes and scolded him, “Don’t say this kind of words. Who knows whether you would say this to other girls?”

Jack immediately forfeited, “I swear to god if I…”

Before he finished his words, Amber suddenly raised her beautiful hand to cover Jack’s mouth and said seriously, “I don’t need you to swear. You just need to know that you shouldn’t let me down for loving you.”

Jack smiled gently.

“Let’s sleep.”

Amber said softly.

Jack gave a long sigh. The issue had finally been settled.

The only table lamp in use was turned off too.

It was dark in the bedroom.

Perhaps Amber had completed expressed her emotions and cried for a long time.

Amber laid in Jack’s arms and fell asleep quickly.

Feeling Amber’s steady breath in his arms, Jack showed a sweet smile in the darkness.

He slowly lowered his head and kissed Amber’s forehead.

“Dummy, thank you. You are the only one in my life.”

Perhaps the kiss had disturbed Amber’s sleep.

Amber made a groan and turned her body. She buried her face in Jack’s hug like a kitten.
