Winner Takes All novel Chapter 821

The breathing was labored and the voice was raspy.

In an instance, the mood in the room became exceedingly arousing. Amber was shuddering as if she was burning inside. Her face was blushing, enhancing her tenderness. Her eyes were closed and her eyelashes were trembling just so slightly.

She slowly and carefully approached Jack. The gap between them seemed so far.

Under the dim lights, Jack’s drunk and weary eyes looked at the approaching Amber and grinned. He takes in her fragrant scent and which made his heartbeat race. Their lips drew nearer but Jack’s gaze started to darken.

He raised and placed his hand onto Amber’s shoulder and stopped her advance. His sudden actions startled Amber. She opened her eyes and looked at Jack in bewilderment and asked, “Hubby, what’s wrong?”

Jack slurred in his drunken state, “Did you wake mom up when you came over?”

“Of course not.” Amber smiled, “So you’re worried about me waking her up?”

Jack shook his head and replied, “That’s great. Go back now, don’t let her find out and worry about you.”

What?! Amber was stunned and was dumbfounded.

Jack continued, “You just had a miscarriage and are still weak. When you were discharged, Director Lansing reminded me that we should not have sexual intercourse during this period.”

“Don’t you want to?” Amber started to fluster and became worried.

“Of course, I want to! I’m a man!” Jack said sternly, “But because I’m a man, I have to consider for my woman and endure my desires. How can I be so selfish and not consider your health? A miscarriage is close to going through childbirth and you should still do your confinement. If not, you may have a lingering illness that will plague you for life!”

“But…” Amber was disappointed, her lips quivered, and looked puzzled.

Before she could continue her sentence, Jack said solemnly, “Listen to me and go back to sleep with your mother. After this period, I will satisfy you whenever you want to.”

When she saw that Jack was determined, her eyes shifted and hesitated for several seconds before nodding reluctantly. She slowly got out of the bed and walked back to her room.

Jack looked at Amber as she walked out and smiled.

After the door was closed, Amber no longer harbored the raging desires.

It was dark and quiet inside the room. Amber was bathed in the dim moonlight. Her beautiful face was expressionless and devoid of emotions. She ground her teeth as she wrung her hands.

…

The night ended peacefully and the sun rose.

Steve and Rosie packed up their luggage early in the morning. Jack instructed Mr. Ward to send them to the airport. He had arranged for a private plane for them out of concern for their safety. Jack and Amber only walked them to the entrance of the bamboo courtyard.

Before this Bloody trap is over, they could not take their safety for granted. Both Jack and Amber had been mentally prepared to isolate themselves for a period. Just like the time when they were targeted by the Dark net assassin squad.

Both Steve and Rosie understood the need for this and they repeatedly advised and comforted Amber before they left. The family of three had a group hug and were very emotional before Steve and Rosie left.

After they left, Jack walked forward and gently patted Amber’s back, and comforted, “Don’t be sad, your parents may come back after we weather past this period. They should go back now in consideration of their safety.”

“I understand.” Amber lowered her head and wiped her tears.
