Female Novel
Chapter 586 It’s Us Against The World
Her voice was gentle.
Jack’s heart instantly filled with warmth.
His lingering anger seemed to have been smoothened.
Mr. Ward called Daisy away at the right timing.
Now, only Jack and Amber were left in the garden.
Then, he spoke, “That woman came to look for me when I was about to get off work.”
Amber’s gaze flickered and her smile seemed forced.
Slowly, she stood up and walked towards the table as she said casually, “It’s okay. It’s normal for girls
to come knocking at your door when you’re so perfect.”
“Hey, you should listen to the whole story first.”
Jack wheeled the wheelchair and followed Amber to the table before he smirked, “Don’t you want to
know what happened?”
While Amber was arranging the flowers, she replied, “I’m guessing you guys took some pictures, drank
a little wine, took off some clothes…”
Her jealousy was coming through to Jack.
Jack quickly raised his right hand, as if to swear to the heavens, “I never thought about those things
with her.”
“Oh right. But you thought about doing her, am I right?” Amber threw Jack a sideways glance. Then,
she squinted her eyes, which exuded a sense of coldness that sent chills up Jack’s spine.
The next second.
Amber picked up a pair of scissors and waved it in front of Jack.
Her hand suddenly moved downwards.
In an instant, Jack clamped his legs tightly together instinctively.
Fortunately, Amber was able to stop her movement in time. She provoked him, “If you dare to do
anything with her, I’ll end you!”
“Ouch!”
Jack sucked in a deep breath.
He felt a breeze of cold wind blowing against him.
He then chuckled, “I scolded her, and she left after that.”
“Oh.” Amber went back to arranging the flowers, looking as if she didn’t care at all.
Jack stared at the pair of sharp scissors in Amber’s hand and swallowed hard.
Then, he took a look at Amber’s calm and serene expression again.
He was a little puzzled, “Hey, you were not like this when you had a nightmare the other day. You were
crying in my arms, so how could you forget the pleasure and be so cold towards me now?”
“Hey!”
Amber froze for a moment as her pretty face flushed with redness immediately.
Then, she threw the scissors in her hand to the table in embarrassment before turning around to pinch
Jack’s cheeks as she whined, “Can you not be a pervert in front of your baby? Act like a father, can
you?”
Jack’s face didn’t hurt at all, so it was obvious Amber didn’t put in much strength in pinching him.
His gaze traveled downwards towards Amber’s huge belly, raised his hand, and stroke it gently, “The
baby probably can’t hear us.”
“No matter what, you are not allowed to talk dirty to me.”
Jack felt aggrieved, “What’s wrong? Can’t I do that to my wife?”
“You…”
Amber groaned in embarrassment.
She released Jack and ignored him as she continued arranging the flowers.
Jack did not leave as well. Instead, he was trying to get on her good side by helping her choose the
flowers and delivering them to her so she could trim them.novelbin
This scene was peaceful and tranquil.
When Jack was immersed in choosing the flowers, Amber, who was focused on her own task suddenly
asked.
“Babe, did you suspect me before too?”
Jack was stunned. His hand froze mid-air for a moment.
“No…No, I never did.” Jack smiled.
“I felt it. It happened before I woke up from my nightmare and cried in your arms when I was harassed
by Hana Powell’s people at the hospital.”
Amber did not look at Jack. Her gaze was still fixed on the vase, but it was burning brightly, “A woman’s
sixth sense is pretty accurate, you know?”
Freaking sixth sense!
Jack turned solemn instantly.
However, he quickly put down the flowers and held Amber’s hands. He apologised sincerely, “I’m
sorry.”
Once he said that, Amber’s gaze turned dim almost right away.
The both of them were silent for a few seconds.
Amber forced a smile on her face and then said, “It’s nothing, but promise me there’s no next time!”
“Of course!”
With a smile on her face, Amber snuggled into Jack’s embrace and said softly, “You need to remember
that you are the armor that is protecting me and our baby, and we are your safe haven. Even if the
whole world is against you, we will still stand by your side unswervingly and wait for you to come
home.”
Jack went into a daze.
Amber’s gentle words were like a hammer that smashed right on his heart.
He was hit by a wave of emotions.
It suffocated him.
One can only feel the pain if they had lost something they once had.
One would only know the hopeless desperation that came from the abandonment of someone they
cherished.
One would only how difficult life had been after experiencing it themselves.
After going through so much and getting something you once cherished back, you would then
understand happiness could not be bought with money.
This must be what happiness felt like.
“What’s wrong?”
Amber got out of Jack’s embrace and looked at him who was staring into space.
Jack only sucked in a deep breath and turned his head to one side as he smiled, “It’s, it’s nothing.”
However, Amber failed to notice the ripples that flashed across Jack’s deep eyes when he turned his
head away.
Midnight.
After Jack put Amber to sleep, he was unable to fall asleep himself.
He sat on the wheelchair and headed towards the balcony. He even got himself a dozen of beers along
the way.
It had been a long time since he last relaxed here.
When Jack arrived, he was surprised to find that Mr. Ward was laying on the couch with a can of beer
in his hand. He seemed to be in a daze.
“Mr. Ward, you can’t sleep too?”
Jack smiled and approached him.
“Young Master?”
Mr. Ward was shocked, then hurriedly got up and assisted Jack to the couch so he could lay down.
Then, he went to the other chair on the side, “Young Master, you’re not sleeping too?”
“I’m not sleepy. After Lyndall got attacked by George’s man the other day, my mind had been in a
mess.”
Jack sighed as he frowned.
“I’ve been thinking about it too.”
Mr. Ward turned to look at Jack and said lowly, “I kept wondering about the note the mysterious person
left for you. What does it mean exactly?”
“What does it mean?”
Jack rubbed his nose and snickered, “He’s the most suspicious one in this master plan. I don’t care
about the note anymore. I bet it just wanted to ruin my relationship with Amber. As for their motives, I
can’t really say anything about that as well.”
When Jack returned to TM Villa District from DT real estate this evening, he had told Mr. Ward about
the stupid note.
Mr. Ward rubbed his nose too, “Indeed, the mysterious person is the most suspicious one. But I still felt
like something is off.”
As he said, he took a sip of beer.
Then, he lifted his right index finger, “First of all, the mysterious person helped you to find Lyndall.
Then, he saved both of you in the woods. Only then did he kill the guy from the Powell Family after
that.
“Let’s say the mysterious person deliberately did all that to frame you so that the Powell Family would
punish you. This explanation doesn’t seem right to me. I doubt this guess as well.”
Jack did not retort.
He could still remember what happened back in the woods clearly.
It made sense.
Surely, Jack had his own pride to withhold as well.
In that situation, since the mysterious person was able to penetrate the tree trunk with a stone and
startled the man who was expelled from the Powell Family, that meant he was capable of piercing the
stone through Jack’s skull as well.
Jack could’ve been killed right on the spot, but the mysterious person did not do that. Instead, he
framed him for the murder. Was all this even necessary?”
Jack asked calmly, “What’s your second point?”
