He said softly with affectionateness.
He was guilty and remorseful.
The bedroom was silent.
Jack stood in front of the door and waited silently.
The time flowed slowly.
After waiting for a minute, Jack wanted to knock on the door again.
The voice that Jack missed so much was heard in the bedroom.
“The door is not locked,”
Amber’s voice was cold and calm.
Jack frowned slightly, his wife’s reaction was so indifferent.
He had predicted a lot of scenes on the way to the Knight Family villa.
They included Amber reprimanded him loudly, the Knight Family interrogated him forcefully, he even had the prediction that Amber would hit him…
But for now, her tone was cold and calm. Jack did not expect that.
Although he was confused, he breathed in deeply and opened the door.
In the bedroom, the odour of lavender lingered in the air.
It was refreshing.
In the dark room, there was a desk lamp glowing with faint yellow colour by the bedside.
Amber sat on the bed in her pyjamas, half of her body was covered by the blanket.
The faint yellow light shone on her face, her face was getting thinner and looked dispirited.
Jack cracked his heart as if stabbed by the knife when he saw her.
Amber looked at Jack too at the moment. She had no expression and stayed calm.
Jack pointed at the lavender by the bedside and said, “It is still early, do you want to sleep now?”
He talked with her casually, did not say straight to the point.
When Jack faced Amber at the moment, he was worried and sympathetic with her. He did not know how was he going to explain the misunderstanding.
Amber smiled slightly, “It is leftover from yesterday, useless.”
Jack was stunned.
“When I am not around, you don’t sleep well at all?”
Amber raised her brow, she showed a faint smile on her calm and disheartened face, “What do you think?”
She did not sleep well for a whole month?
Jack cracked his heart.
At the moment, he felt guilty continuously like the flowing water.
He remembered that when Amber left with her parent, she was in a state of pregnancy sickness.
Pregnant women suffered a lot from pregnancy sickness.
In addition, she did not rest well. So, it was rational for her to say that she was exhausted and disheartened.
Jack felt a sense of sourness on his nose when he saw Amber. His chest was as if filled by the stone and jammed his body, he was so panicked.
Jack kept silent and walked towards the bed gradually.
He sat on the bed and raised his hand slowly to caress Amber’s face.
“You’re getting thinner and you’re so dispirited,”
Jack’s voice shivered. Although he did not experience Amber’s life when he was not around for a month, he could feel it when he saw her face and mental state.
But Amber’s appearance and mental state at the moment had explained it.
He remembered Amber’s face clearly.
Her hair was shining, she had a charming face. Her elegance would attract others’ attention.
But for now, she looked tired and disheartened like an angel fell into the world of human.
She underwent the changes in just a month!
Bang!
When Jack almost touched Amber’s face.
Amber raised her hand suddenly and pushed away his hand.
“I don’t need you to sympathize with me, don’t use your hand to caress my face. I am afraid of dirty stuff.”
Amber’s voice was cold and strict. Although she had suppressed it deeply, tears had overflowed in her dim eyes at the moment.
