With much efforts, Jack straightened his body, and he pretended to “stand” behind Rena.
He also worked very hard on his emotions, attempting to keep calm. Nevertheless, all his eyes could focus on was just the silhouette of Amber.
It cut his heart like a knife to see her usually pretty face looking so fatigued, pale, and weak.
He dared not imagine how much suffering he had caused her all this while.
Still, he could not show any trace of his true emotions because he was aware that his little dummy was going to approach him.
And he … did not want his little dummy to approach.
Next second.
His eyes sprang wide open, he felt as if a thunder rumbled through his brain.
That was when he saw Amber suddenly broke free from Mr. Ward, running exactly towards him.
‘Don’t come over!’
As if by instinct, the corners of Jack’s lips quivered, he felt a roar surging from his mouth.
But he eventually suppressed his instincts.
Right at that instant, he panicked and was at a complete loss.
‘Do not come over, if you do that, it will attract attention!’
Jack, as he was holding Rena’s shoulders, subconsciously tightened his grip on her shoulders, it hurt her so much that she knitted her brows and groaned in pain.
In moments like that, it was not at all clear who the mastermind behind the murder was.
It was inevitable that Amber was attracting attention when she ran towards Jack.
Amongst the watchful eyes surrounding them, as long as there was someone with the backing of a powerful mastermind, it was enough to bring a catastrophe to Amber, to the Knight family.
Within view.
Amber had already dashed out of the crowd, she stuck out like a sore thumb.
Mr. Ward ran after her, he was just as shell-shocked, he looked frightened and helpless.
Stop!
You must stop!
Suddenly, an idea sparked in Jack’s head and his expression changed from fear to sheer determination.
He broke into a smile.
An evil grin of decisiveness to resort to some extreme measures.
Slowly, he leaned close to Rena’s ears, then whispered, “Could you please help me one more time?”
His warm breath stimulated her senses, with a moment, her soft pale skin on the ears swiftly turned red.
The redness quickly spread to her face.
“Yes.” Rena’s agreement was practically beyond her conscious control.
Not only did Jack’s question had the effect of causing her body to shudder, any remaining bit of rationality in her mind was also dispersed into thin air.
Jack asked, “Can I kiss you?”
Rena completely lost her wits, her ability to think also completely vanished.
Sensing the warm breath on her ears, it sent shivers, like electricity, up and down her entire body.
His words pounded right into her heart.
In the moment of passion, her senses were running wild and she could not think clearly.
“Yes!”
Rena slowly turned around.
Once he had her consent, Jack closed his eyes and bent down to kiss her.
Their lips locked.
The moment seemed frozen in time.
Rena’s eyes were closed, and her eyelashes fluttered.
Her body was shivering, she felt an intense warmth in her body.
While her lips perceived the tenderness, her mind was lost in a complete blank.
“Rena...”
This entire scene took place so quickly that Carlos Juan Yales, who was very nearby, barely had time to stop them.
Carlos was furious, he glared with wide-opened eyes at the inseparable couple locking lips.
At the same time.
Amber was running towards SH guildhall, she suddenly stopped.
She saw Jack was kissing Rena, the scene was like a thunder, she missed him son much, and she was full of excitement, but now, everything was gone.
Amber came to a standstill, she was dazed.
Under the scorching hot sun.
She could not feel any warmth. On the contrary, she felt as if she was standing in an ice cave.
The sky seemed to have darkened completely.
She recognized Rena Yales, she was the one who caused the misunderstanding between Amber and Jack, and hence their separation. Amber would never forget Rena’s face, so gorgeous that even she was no match with.
