After Jack Hughes said the words.
The living room became silent as if the sound of a needle that dropped onto the ground could be heard.
The atmosphere also became strange and awkward.
Jack noticed that Mr. Ward was pulling him secretly and he lowered his head to have a look. He didn’t make any sound.
No one had noticed it.
At that moment, Amber Knight’s eyes who was stunned suddenly looked depressed.
She immediately looked a little shady.
However, the look disappeared in less than a second.
Amber opened her red lips, “Okay, then I will clean up another room.”
Although Steve Knight and Rosie were stunned, the worries that Jack had mentioned indeed existed. Two of them didn’t say much. They turned together and went to clean up another room with Amber.
In the living room.
Mr. Ward put down the teacup in his hand. He also let go of the edge of Jack’s clothes.
His old face looked stunned, “Young master, why do you and Mrs. Hughes suddenly sleep in separate rooms? You two were doing fine in South Maine.”
“We only stayed in South Maine for a few days and we were staying in the hospital for half of the time. We didn’t have the conditions to sleep in separate rooms at that time.”
Jack looked innocent as he shrugged his shoulders and said, “I am also worried about Amber’s health. Her body is weak now. It is better for her to recover if I sleep separately from her. By doing this, she would be safer.”
Mr. Ward was speechless.
However, he couldn’t rebut Jack’s words.
After thinking about it, Amber was only weak as she hadn’t completely recovered from her miscarriage when they just reached South Maine.
At that time, it was nothing for Jack and Amber to sleep on the same bed.
When Amber was sick and she was sent into the hospital, they really didn’t have the condition to sleep in separate rooms.
Now, they were back home. Amber was still weak because she was sick. In this situation, Jack had considered Amber’s body and he suggested sleeping in separate rooms. It was so reasonable.
After taking a deep breath, Mr. Ward said, “Then, you should at least mind your way of speaking, right? Mrs. Hughes’s family is here too.”
“I didn’t do anything wrong. What should I avoid?”
Jack seemed he didn’t care as he held a cup of tea and drank the tea.
“I slept alone during the Bloody Trap and I had faced a tremendous amount of danger. It is still better than sleeping in the same room with Amber while facing this tremendous amount of danger together, right?”
“Even if I have let Amber feel unhappy. I, Jack Hughes, have no reason to let my wife share the risk with me.”
Mr. Ward felt helpless in his heart but he felt that Jack’s words were reasonable. He could only sigh. He held the teacup and took a sip.
When Jack said these words, he didn’t purposely suppress his voice.
Therefore, Amber, Steve, and Rosie could clearly hear it.
Amber, Steve, and Rosie’s expressions had been slightly eased.
In the afternoon.
Brent and Daisy Hill had worked together to investigate the place. The defense of Bamboo Grove’s surroundings was impenetrable and solid despite the whole Four Impressions Club’s uncertainty.
It had let everyone feel relieved.
Now, they were back home.
Everyone was not as perturbed as when they were in South Maine as they kept feeling nervous at that time.
After they felt relieved.
Daisy had gone out alone to buy a lot of vegetables and cooking ingredients. After returning to the Bamboo Grove and entering inside through the detection machine to ensure all the vegetables and cooking ingredients were fine, she went into the kitchen to show off her cooking skills. She wanted to prepare a full table of dishes to reward everyone who could rarely feel a sense of relief.
Amber and Rosie didn’t stay there only. They were busy working together with Daisy in the kitchen.
Jack and the others were staying in the courtyard while chatting and drinking tea.
At the moment.
Lone Wolf walked into the courtyard and put down his phone. He said, “Mr. Hughes, Lyndall had known about your matter. He wants to come here to meet you.”
“No need. Just ask him to take good care of the company, Yael, and Vinna.”
Jack waved his hand and said, “Also tell him to ask about the matter of the Quinn family. If Amelia needs help, he could act on my behalf. Just inform him that he doesn’t need to suppress himself. Just act according to his character and ways.”
He was still worried that there were some hidden forces in the Quinn family.
As the former underground King of LD City, Lyndall Long could definitely do well to settle the evil hidden forces and stand for justice. When doing this kind of matter, his skills were definitely not inferior to Yael Quinn.
