Winner Takes All novel Chapter 425

Mr. Ward hurried back and saw Amber crying without any sign of stopping, and he immediately felt a deep sense of regret.

In his eyes, Jack and Amber certainly had some disparity between their positions in society.

In terms of their background and reputation, the Hughes and Knight family were indeed not of the same world.

However, Mr. Ward was very aware that Jack and Amber’s marriage was not an indication that Amber was marrying into an affluent family. In contrast, Jack was the lucky one here.

All the while, Amber’s assistance and support towards Jack was selfless and endless.

Now, it was regretful that such a thing had happened.

“Mr. Ward, is anything wrong?”

Amber raised her hand to wipe off her tears as she asked with a sobbing tone.

Mr. Ward came back to his senses, “Young lady, your parents have arrived.”

“Dad and mum?”

Amber was startled for a moment, then she drooped her head as if in deep thought.

Both Mr. Ward and Daisy had a drastic change of expression.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the family solely depended on Amber alone.

The next second, Amber raised her head, and on that exhausted face, there was a forced smile.

“Mr. Ward, Ms. Hill, please attend to my parents first. I will come down after washing up.”

Mr. Ward and Daisy both left the bedroom.

While Amber was wiping away her tears, she was muttering to herself, “Amber, you must stay strong. You can’t let dad and mum to realize this. You are the one who have chosen him.”

“It’s alright, everything will be fine. Aren’t you always strong and determined? You will be able to overcome this.”

“Dad and mum has come from so far to see the baby, so I can’t make them upset.”

After sucking in a deep breath, Amber stretched her body and tried hard to put a smile on her face. Then, he exited the washroom.

In the living room downstairs, Jack was busy attending to Steve and Rosie.

Seeing that Mr. Ward and Daisy was coming downstairs, Steve stood up and said jokingly, “Mr. Ward, what is wrong with you just now? Why did you run away at the sight of us?”

“I have something urgent to attend to, and at that moment I was a little lost.”

Mr. Ward explained while revealing an apologetic smile, “I hope you can forgive me for that.”

Steve waved his hand nonchalantly. He wasn’t someone to be worried about such trivial matters.

Rosie asked, “Jack, where is Amber?”

Jack’s hand slightly shook as he was pouring tea.

Steve hastily urged him, “That’s right, let Amber come down now. We want to meet our grandchild.”

Daisy interjected hurriedly, “Ma’am, the young lady has just woken up. She is washing herself now.”

“This girl, she has changed ever since she is pregnant. It seems that she is always sleeping.” Steve frowned, “How can she be so lazy? I will definitely give her a piece of my mind later on.”

Rosie knitted her brows slightly as she glanced at Steve sideways.

Jack smiled faintly as he explained, “Dad, it is not easy to be pregnant, you know. We should let Amber take her time and rest more.”

Upon hearing that, Steve smiled.

Rosie’s frown also turned into a casual smile.

As a parent, although he wanted to criticize his daughter, how could he actually bring himself to do that?

Everyone knew how a difficult life a woman had to gone through to be pregnant.

Jack’s timely explanation had shown to the couple how much he loved Amber.

At that moment, Amber slowly descended the stairs.

Daisy was the first to notice that. She immediately went forward to hold her.

“Amber!”

Steve smiled helplessly. He knew Jack’s recent situation, so he had thought that Jack’s carelessness was because of work pressure and not being able to break free from the busy times.

Due to Amber’s self-restrain, the atmosphere in the room was joyous and jubilant.

Steve and Rosie didn’t sense anything unusual as everyone engaged in a happy conversation.

As night arrived, Jack thought, “With her parents here, Amber will probably not sleep apart from me tonight. I have to take this chance to make things clear.”

However, contrary to his expectations, Amber let out a yawn and hooked up Rosie’s arm, “Mum, it’s been a while since I last saw you. I miss you so much. Can you sleep with me tonight?”

Jack was stunned by what he heard. He had a complicated look on his face as he thought, “You wouldn’t even give me a chance to explain, would you?”

Mr. Ward, Brent and Daisy were all startled by this too.

Rosie gaped at Amber for a while before smiling and replying, “I don’t think I can call the shots here. I have to know whether your dad and Jack agrees to this, you know?”

“It’s alright, I am fine with anything.” Steve replied without thinking, which attracted a frown from Rosie.

Jack forced a smile and replied, “Mum, I am okay with that. It has really been a while since Amber last saw you guys.”

“Fine, then. I will accompany Amber tonight.” Rosie smiled gently as she affectionately rubbed Amber’s hair.

In the silence of the night, Jack was sleeping in a room beside the main bedroom.

In the bedroom, Amber was curled up in Rosie’s embrace, and Rosie was caressing Amber’s hair.

The mother and daughter remained in this position for a long time, and they didn’t speak a word throughout the duration.

Rosie began gently, which broke the silence, “Amber, aren’t you asleep yet?”

“No.” Amber replied faintly.

“If you have something you want to say, just say to me. If you want to cry, I will hug you.” Rosie smiled with a difficult expression as she was concerned with Amber.

Amber felt a shudder run through her.

She looked up in shock at Rosie.

Rosie was smiling ever so gently as she slowly added, “It has been too long since you even need me to sleep with you. The reason you’re asking for that is because you have something hidden in your heart, right?”
