Winner Takes All novel Chapter 82

In the span of one day, everything that had happened seemed to pass by as quickly as a roller-coaster ride.

Jack was exhausted.

He fell asleep quickly inside Lone Wolf’s car.

When the car arrived at the TM Villa District, Lone Wolf woke Jack up.

He returned home.

His mother was inside the living room watching TV when she saw Jack return.

Sophie walked towards him groaning at him as she took his jacket away from his hand, “Every day you make yourself so tired, don’t you ever feel you need to rest?”

"Isn’t this just the result of having a busy job?" Jack said with a smile as he rubbed his belly. "Mum, is there any food leftover from what Daisy prepared for you? I haven't eaten yet."

“No I’m afraid, but how about I make some tomato and egg noodles for you?”

Sophie smiled as she said this.

Jack did not stop her, for ever since he was a child up until now he had always loved the tomato and egg noodles that his mother made for him.

However ever since his mother became seriously ill, it had been a long time since he had eaten this meal.

Jack rolled up his sleeves and walked into the kitchen with his mother.

"What are doing coming in here? Go out and rest a while, I can handle this on my own." Sophie said rather distressed, knowing that Jack was tired from work.

Jack smiled and said, “Mum its fine. I want to make it with you; it’s already been so long since I cooked anything.”

Sophie laughed and then pointed towards the garlic next to him, “Then you can first help peel some garlic.”

“Alright!” Jack smiled as he responded.

“By the way, do you know what happened to Daisy? That girl, tonight after she had prepared the meal for me and waited for me to finish, she then hurriedly took the thermos flask and left, and also, where’s Brent. Without them here I was completely alone in this big house without anyone to speak to.”

Sophie asked Jack as she was busy preparing the meal.

Jack didn't want to worry his mother, and so explained with a smile, "It seems that she had to go and sort out some private matter.”

Sophie nodded, and then suddenly raised her eyebrows and looked at Jack mysteriously, “Jack, do you think that Daisy and Brent will start dating?”

Jack froze.

Was his mother being too nosy into other people’s affairs?

Or was this just a common problem for middle aged people?

As he saw Sophie’s eyes light up, Jack smiled awkwardly and said, "Mum, stop gossiping. If they are going to start a relationship, then that's their business."

Sophie said excitedly, “This is interesting and since they work for you then I am allowed to speak about them. It would be really great if they got together.”

“Mum… I’m hungry.” The expression on Jack’s face looked very pitiful as he said this.

Sophie knew that Jack did not want to continue this topic so she rolled her eyes and continued to prepare the meal.

She then muttered to herself, “You don’t care about me. When Daisy returns then I’ll ask her myself what’s going on. Brent looks a little naive and foolish but he is actually a very good person.”

Jack closed his mouth, put down the garlic and walked out of the kitchen.

He was afraid that if he continued to talk then his mother really would want to get involved with the matter between Brent and Daisy.

Very soon the fragrant smelling tomato and egg noodles were ready.

As soon as Jack smelled the delicious smell, he moved his hands and gobbled up a large bowl.

Sophie watched quietly beside him smiling, reminding Jack to eat slowly.

She didn’t plan on telling Jack about what had happened with Elissa and Kieran during the day.

As a mother that cared deeply for her son, she didn’t want to make him more tired and restless.

…

The Parry Family.

The sound of crying was painful to the ear.

Kieran was sat on the sofa watching Elissa who was in front of him crying.
