Winner Takes All novel Chapter 88

Amber’s change in tone made Jack elated.

Perhaps…there was a turnaround in their relationship tonight!

Jack did not hesitate to agree.

He was feeling tormented the whole afternoon.

Jack got off work early and rushed to Genting restaurant.

This was the place where Amber and he had agreed to meet on the phone.

Soon, Amber’s figure appeared at the entrance of Genting restaurant.

Jack’s eyes lit up, and he got up to wave, “Amber.”

Amber smiled and walked quickly towards Jack, “Didn’t we agree to meet at 7:00 pm?”

“I wanted to come and wait for you.”

Jack smiled and said, “You also came early.”

“I also wanted to come early and wait for you.” Amber was full of smiles and was no longer as cold as the previous times they met.

This made Jack’s heart and mind calm.

After ordering the dishes, the two of them chatted.

The happy atmosphere made Jack felt like he was back in the time when Amber had just returned to China, automatically ignoring the previous meetings.

After the dishes were served, the two of them ate and chatted at the same time.

Jack was happy because Amber was also happy.

However, Amber’s words instantly calmed Jack down.

“Jack, I have to go abroad in the next few days.” Amber said, “To visit my parents.”

Jack’s heart thudded, pretending to be calm and said, “Why do you have to go abroad suddenly?”

Amber was a little helpless, shrugged her shoulders and smiled bitterly, “It’s because you’re too high-profile?”

Jack froze for a moment.

Then he reacted, “Is it the Dragon Garden confession?”

“Mm.”

Amber rubbed his hair irritably, “It’s not all because of you, but also the reason I dismissed Josh Ellis. Josh is the person my father arranged to maintain the business at EnRich building materials company. But once I arrived at EnRich building materials company, the matter that involved Josh occurred, which made my father concern again, and then found out that you confessed to me.”

“This afternoon, an oversea phone call over, wanted me to go back.”

This made Jack’s head spun.

He did not expect that the Dragon Garden confession would attract the attention of Amber’s parents, who were oversea.

After thinking about it, Jack said, “How about I go with you?”

“What are you thinking?” Amber said.

Jack shrugged, “The son-in-law has to meet his parents-in-law, right?”

Amber’s eyes flashed, and her eyebrows lowered slightly, “Forget it, I’ll go over and explain to them first, let’s wait and see for the rest.”

Jack looked dumbfounded and smiled bitterly, “Then, okay, when will you leave?”

“Tomorrow morning’s flight.” Amber said.

“Then I’ll send you to the airport tomorrow.” Jack squeezed out a smile.

Amber’s expression changed for a moment and nodded, “Alright.”

A meal was finished.

Amber drove straight home.

Jack walked on the street, the night’s wind blew, but his heart was a little bitter.

He thought that Amber had forgiven him.

But Amber just said “take a step and see a step”, it was clear that she had not let go of the last Genting restaurant incident.

However, he did not pursue the root of the matter.

Sometimes, the world of adults to get to the bottom of a matter too much would even cause friend relationships to be broken.

Raising his hand, he stopped a cab.

Jack leaned back on the seat after getting in, looking out the window at the night scene, dazed.

Amber came back when he was very miserable.

In his heart, Amber had already unbiased his mother long ago.

Now Amber’s departure was as if the heart had suddenly been taken away a part of it, leaving the heart empty.

Back at the TM Villa District.

In the living room, the lights were bright.

Sophie Burton, Mr Ward, Brent and Daisy Hill were all there.
