Winner Takes All novel Chapter 426

Amber’s slender and beautiful body trembled.

Despite her efforts in putting up a strong front, she could not hold down the tears welling up in her eyes at this moment.

“I carried you for 9 months in my belly and gave birth to you, mum can read you like a book.”

With a soft expression, Rosie gently stroked a few strands of hair out of Amber’s face, tucking the hair behind her ears, “I can tell that something is bothering you. If you don’t feel like confiding, I won’t force you; if you feel like crying, let me hug you.”

Her mother’s gentle and loving whispers finally broke Amber’s containment.

She sank into her mother’s arms, tears rolling down her face.

Rosie embraced her daughter gently in her arms. Love and tenderness were written all over her face, her heart aching within, she caressed her daughter’s back softly.

The room reverberated with Amber’s sobs.

Right at this moment, Rosie’s mobile phone lit up, it was a WeChat text from her husband.

“What’s the matter with our daughter?”

“Oh, you noticed it too?” Rosie continued to comfort her daughter, replying to the text message at the same time.

“Needless to say! She’s the apple of our eyes, as her dad, I can tell from her reactions. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have agreed so readily earlier on.”

Rosie smiled to herself, replying to the message.

“She and Jack are now married. If she doesn’t want to share, we shouldn’t probe too much.”

“She continues keeping to herself, what if she suffers a breakdown?”

“If we meddle too much, it may get too exhausting for the young couple.”

Rosie sent off her last reply and put down her mobile phone, ignoring her husband’s concerns for the moment.

She was well-aware that Steve absolutely adored his daughter. Nevertheless, it was clear to her, this was not the time to interfere.

Frictions, clashes, and sad feelings in a marriage were unavoidable.

What could originally be solved between a couple, might eventually get too complicated and out of hand for the couple, if another family came into the mix.

In the end, Amber still did not confide in Rosie.

Fatigued from crying her heart’s out, Amber dozed off in her mother’s embrace.

The whole night passed without a single word exchanged.

The next day, early in the morning, Jack came through the door.

Having had a sleepless night, tiredness was etched on his face, dark circles around his eyes were slightly visible.

By the time he got downstairs, Amber was already having breakfast together with her parents.

“Hubby, I would like to go out with dad and mum today.” Amber suddenly announced cheerfully.

Jack was taken aback for an instant, he had not seen Amber smile for a few days by now.

These few short days felt to him like a few long years.

“Alright, let Brent and Ms. Hill accompany you later.” Jack nodded in agreement.

“Okay.”

After breakfast, Amber and her parents began their departure from the villa.

Jack watched the car drove out the villa, his face showed an expression of complex emotions.

Mr. Ward walked up to Jack and softly urged, “Young master, grab the opportune time and explain clearly to young madam. It hurts me deeply to watch Mrs. Hughes suffer like that.”

“And I’m not hurting?” Jack broke into a bitter and heartbreaking smile.

Jack rubbed his tired face to perk up and headed out to go to the office.

Seawater Mountain.

It was a natural scenic area in the vicinity of this city suburb.

Up in the mountain, the air was fresh and crisp, the scenery was beautiful to behold.

During the week, many hikers would climb up the mountain to enjoy the splendid panorama. On the weekends, the place would draw even more visitors.

The Rolls Royce pulled up at the roadside.

After getting out the car, Amber held her parents’ hands and asked cheerily, “Dad, mum, you haven’t come to Seawater Mountain for a long time already, have you?”

“It’s been many years.”

Steve heaved a sigh, glancing down at his overweight body unconsciously, he hesitated, “Amber, you really want me to hike up the mountain?”

“Exactly.” Amber beamed sweetly.

Rosie pinched her husband’s arm, “What a daddy you are, your daughter wishes to hike up the mountain, and you are turning her down because of your belly? Seawater Mountain is not steep at all, just take it as a chance for you to lose weight.”

“Okay, okay, okay.”

Steve drew in a breath of cool air, grimaced and agreed to the challenge.

Brent and Ms. Daisy Hill tagged behind the trio, watching the family treading merrily towards the mountain.

Brent shook his head in helplessness, “It is so hard to watch Mrs. Hughes suffer like that.”
