Winner Takes All novel Chapter 418

After the dinner.

Jack and Amber took a stroll together as usual.

But something was bothering Jack.

Amber was very quiet. She lowered her head and seemed to be pondering something.

“What are you thinking?” Jack broke the silence.

“It’s nothing.” Amber didn’t look at him and just shook her head.

Jack halted.

“You always manage to call me out on my lies. But you are actually a bad liar yourself.”

Amber took another two steps forward and halted.

She said blandly, “I’m sorry. Let’s go home, I’m tired.”

With that said, she turned around and walked pass Jack towards the house.

What was going on?

Jack stunned. There was definitely something going on based on her reaction.

But this was the first time he saw her reacted like this!

“Did I do anything wrong that made her angry?”

Jack rubber his nose and went into retrospection. Nothing special came to mind.

“Is it about the car?”

Jack thought of a possibility.

Back in the bedroom.

Amber was lying on the bed in the same posture as the night before. Seemed she wanted to sleep facing away from him again.

Feeling helpless, Jack washed up, went to bed and hugged Amber from behind.

He sensed clearly that Amber struggled a little at his action.

He applied a little more strength in his hug and the struggling halted.

“Amber, are you thinking about the car I drove back yesterday?” Jack asked.

Amber remained silent.

This should be it!

Jack finally understood and explained, “That was a car I borrow from a girl, but I promised it’s not like what you think at all.”

It was a big taboo for pregnant women to hold their frustration in during pregnancies.

Jack didn’t want to hurt Amber just because of a small matter, so he opened up immediately.

“Okay, go to sleep now.”

Amber nodded and replied in a whispering tone.

Jack went into a daze. What was with this response?

He let go of her subconsciously, but Amber didn’t move and stayed in the same posture with her back at him.

Was it not because of the car?

Jack became more confused.

On the other side.

The Hughes family.

Still staying up, Killian, George and Ivy were sitting together in the yard.

“We made the right bet this time, Killian. We ripped a few billions from that bastard Jack today!”

With a wine glass in his hand, George smiled complacently, “The Rothschild’s are stupid to withdraw right after a little complication. Look at what they’re missing out here.”

Killian smiled slightly in agreement with George’s remark.

But he could actually understand Rothschild’s decision.

After all, what happened back then was indeed frustrating.

Rationally, it was within expectation the Rothschild left.

“Now that we’ve put another five billion into the market, it’d probably crush Jack and Yael when the market opens tomorrow morning, right?”

Ivy swirled the wine in her glass and said in a tipsy smile.

At this moment, she felt her grudge was finally vented.
