In the silence.
The strange girl with blue eyes that had been forgotten by Jack once again appeared in his mind.
There were very few people with such surname as Kool.
Among those who had dealt with him would only be Jenny.
Furthermore, Jenny was so strange that made her memorable.
Subconsciously, Jack clenched his hands and his brows wrinkled, his eyes were burning.
Mr. Ward notice Jack’s reaction, he asked, “Master, what’s wrong?”
Jack shook his head heavily.
Then he asked, “My father really did not mention anything about what to watch out for Kool Family?”
“No.”
Mr. Ward glanced at Jack deeply.
He could see that Jack was hiding something from him, but as a slave, it was best not to mention anything if Jack did not want to tell.
“Let’s go, it’s getting late.”
Jack said calmly, and then pushed the wheelchair downstairs himself.
Mr. Ward stood on the rooftop by himself, letting the night wind blow his white hair and mumbled, “Master… Kool Family …why is old master being this careful?”
Back to the bedroom.
Amber was still awake; she was lying on the bed worriedly, looking at the ceiling.
“Still worried?”
Jack’s brows stretched out.
Amber’s nose wrinkled slightly, opened up her hands and acted like a spoiled child, “Waiting for you, come and cuddle me.”
Jack smiled softly and got into the blanket, he hugged Amber into his arms, patted her back gently, and soothing Amber to sleep.
Amber lay in Jack’s arms like a cat, with her eyes closed and eyelashes trembled a little. Soon, she fell asleep and her breathing became steady.
But Jack was not sleepy at all.
He stared at the ceiling with his brows wrinkled and eyes full of doubts.
The encounter with Jenny during the day came back to his mind bit by bit like sieving.
Jack did not care about Jenny at all before this; the only thing affecting him was her weirdness.
But in today’s era, weirdo is everywhere.
This made Jack think what happened during the day was just a coincidence.
But with his father’s call, it confused everything.
And the strange expressions shown by Jenny during the day, did not seem strange anymore, he thought deep down his heart.
If the appearance of Jenny and her strange behaviour were for a reason,
It made everything appear reasonable.
“Jenny … Kool Family …”
Jack frowned and murmured.
His eyes brightened, then suddenly hesitated again, “If Jenny is not from Kool Family, was it really just a coincidence?”
“Dear…”
Amber’s soft voice was head in a sudden.
Jack came back to his senses and saw Amber opening her eyes in his arms. She looked at him sleepily, “Is anything bothering you?”
“No, let’s sleep.”
Jack acted clam and smiled, then turned off the light and went back into the blanket, trying to be asleep with his arms around Amber.
Amber fell asleep again in darkness and did not get awakened anymore.
Jack lay on the bed and stayed up all night.
He would not act like this if this was before.
But now, it was getting more and more blurry, his ultimate goal of becoming the master of the Hughes Family was just a loophole in the cloud of the sky, leaking brightness.
