This moment.
Jack stood under the blazing sun, but there was a feeling of coldness all over his body.
The few words on the screen were like a knife cutting his heart.
"You know I'm here?"
Jack murmured, "Don’t you even want to see me for once?"
Lost in a trance for a moment, Jack tried to dial Amber's phone.
But the phone rang once and then was hung up.
Unwillingly, he dialed several times in succession, with the same result.
"Can you pick up my phone?"
Jack sent a WeChat message to Amber.
Immediately after, he hurriedly added, "I'm here to explain the situation and take you home."
When sending the WeChat message, Jack looked a bit flustered.
Even his hands trembled faintly when typing.
He was scared!
Fear of losing Amber because of this misunderstanding.
Even if he desperately wanted to restrain, he could not calm the ups and downs of his heart.
After sending the WeChat messages, Jack squatted on the roadside, staring at his phone, biting his nails, and waiting silently.
It's just a long wait.
The two WeChat messages were like sinking into the sea, without any news.
"I can definitely wait for you!" Jack firmly said with great intensity eyes, "I want to take you home."
...
The night was gradually falling.
Inside the luxurious villa.
In the dining room, there were happy laughter and cheerful voices.
It was a private banquet. To be exact, it was a private dinner between the Knight family and the Harvey family.
The friendship between the two families had laid a solid foundation since Steve was young, and for so many years, the two sides had been cooperating forward.
"Steve, I still remember when we wanted to get ahead, and Rosie and my wife were pregnant, we stupidly wanted our child to get married.”
A middle-aged man with graying temples and a majestic brow raised his red wine glass and laughed, "It turned out that we have daughters and they became good friends."
"It's because that night, we both drank a lot of wine, you wanted to let Tiana marry Amber, and thanks to my sober finally." Steve laughed.
The crowd talked and laughed.
Only Amber looked despondent, holding the phone tightly in both hands, and placing it under the table.
She wanted to catch up with her best friend, whom she had not seen for many years at first.
But with Jack's phone call and WeChat messages, Amber no longer had that thought.
"Amber, do you have something on your mind?"
Tiana sat beside Amber and asked with concern, "I feel like you are preoccupied with something tonight."
"No, it's fine." Amber forced a smile.
But Tiana frowned and said, "We haven't seen each other for so many years, you don't even want to talk to me, and you still say you don't have something on your mind?"
"No, Tiana, I just don't feel well." Amber really didn’t have the mood.
Even if Tiana, who was in front of her, was her childhood best playmate.
The words just fell, Amber's face changed suddenly and she hurriedly got up, and ran into the toilet.
The sudden scene made the table became instantly quiet.
Rosie's expression changed, and she hurriedly got up and followed her to the toilet.
Steve smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay, let's continue. By the way, Tiana, once you came back this time, you have become the hero!"
In these words, the topic smoothly changed.
Tiana's parents had revealed a smile of relief and happiness.
The airplane hijacking incident was big news.
