In the silence.
The strange girl with blue eyes that had been forgotten by Jack once again appeared in his mind.
There were very few people with such surname as Kool.
Among those who had dealt with him would only be Jenny.
Furthermore, Jenny was so strange that made her memorable.
Subconsciously, Jack clenched his hands and his brows wrinkled, his eyes were burning.
Mr. Ward notice Jack’s reaction, he asked, “Master, what’s wrong?”
Jack shook his head heavily.
Then he asked, “My father really did not mention anything about what to watch out for Kool Family?”
“No.”
Mr. Ward glanced at Jack deeply.
He could see that Jack was hiding something from him, but as a slave, it was best not to mention anything if Jack did not want to tell.
“Let’s go, it’s getting late.”
Jack said calmly, and then pushed the wheelchair downstairs himself.
Mr. Ward stood on the rooftop by himself, letting the night wind blow his white hair and mumbled, “Master… Kool Family … why is old master being this careful?”
Back to the bedroom.
Amber was still awake; she was lying on the bed worriedly, looking at the ceiling.
“Still worried?”
Jack’s brows stretched out.
Amber’s nose wrinkled slightly, opened up her hands and acted like a spoiled child, “Waiting for you, come and cuddle me.”
Jack smiled softly and got into the blanket, he hugged Amber into his arms, patted her back gently, and soothing Amber to sleep.
Amber lay in Jack’s arms like a cat, with her eyes closed and eyelashes trembled a little. Soon, she fell asleep and her breathing became steady.
But Jack was not sleepy at all.
He stared at the ceiling with his brows wrinkled and eyes full of doubts.
The encounter with Jenny during the day came back to his mind bit by bit like sieving.
Jack did not care about Jenny at all before this; the only thing affecting him was her weirdness.
But in today’s era, weirdo is everywhere.
This made Jack think what happened during the day was just a coincidence.
But with his father’s call, it confused everything.
And the strange expressions shown by Jenny during the day, did not seem strange anymore, he thought deep down his heart.
If the appearance of Jenny and her strange behaviour were for a reason,
It made everything appear reasonable.
“Jenny … Kool Family …”
Jack frowned and murmured.
His eyes brightened, then suddenly hesitated again, “If Jenny is not from Kool Family, was it really just a coincidence?”
“Dear…”
Amber’s soft voice was head in a sudden.
Jack came back to his senses and saw Amber opening her eyes in his arms. She looked at him sleepily, “Is anything bothering you?”
“No, let’s sleep.”
Jack acted clam and smiled, then turned off the light and went back into the blanket, trying to be asleep with his arms around Amber.
Amber fell asleep again in darkness and did not get awakened anymore.
Jack lay on the bed and stayed up all night.
He would not act like this if this was before.
But now, it was getting more and more blurry, his ultimate goal of becoming the master of the Hughes Family was just a loophole in the cloud of the sky, leaking brightness.
Now with all the gloominess, the brightness seemed to be dimmed off.
If he was not careful, the consequences would be unbearable.
And… he might lose even more!
He might lose something even more unbearable than the position of the master of Hughes Family.
Caution is the parent of safety; this was Jack’s usual style of doing things.
Not to mention, now that he had Amber and the baby that needed to be protected.
Early the next day,
Jack, who had not slept the whole night, could not hide his exhaustion on face, his eyes were covered with bloodshot.
He did not wake Amber.
He woke up quietly and went downstairs for breakfast, then asked Mr. Ward to send him to DT Company.
But thinking about Amber who was anxious last night, Jack reminded Mr. Ward to stay at home and protect Amber if he did not have anything to do before he left.
Jack did not believe in rumour like “Twitching on the left eye forecasts fortune but twitching on the right eye forecasts disaster”. But in order to be careful, he would not want anything to go wrong especially when Amber’s belly was getting bigger and she was getting closer to labour.
As it was time to start working,
Jack suppressed his heavy thought and devoted himself with tons of work.
The sun gradually rose,
The whole city was full of vibrant in the daylight.
When it was nearly noon,
Outside DT Company, it was crowded and the traffic was busy.
A pretty shadow was approaching.
Her ponytail, blue eyes and pink skin made her look like a doll.
Plus she was dressed like Lolita.
The appearance of Jenny earned enough attention from people around her.
“My God, this girl is so pretty, so cute!”
“Lolita, wow, she’s so breathtaking; buddy, give me a hand, I feel like fainting.”
“If such girl could be my girlfriend, I would willingly use ten years of my life to be exchanged.”
…
With all the whispering and weird gazes around her.
Jenny was already used to it and did not show any strange emotions.
In fact, ever since she was young, everyone in Kool Family had been treating like jewel because of her look.
Jenny was confident with her own look, she never found it strange when people were staring, it would be weird if no one was staring.
“This is his company?”
Jenny moved gently, walking towards the building while muttering, “Hey! This man is just normal, he does not even have his own company office building, it’s just a rented building. I have no idea why grandma is interested in him, that she travelled so far to this small place just for him.”
It was precisely because of this “ordinary” company that Jack was working at, that got Jenny even more curious about him.
She did not know why her grandmother travelled so far for him.
But she knew that very few people were worthy of such act.
What more to say, this “ordinary” man sitting in the wheelchair.
Due to the attention from people around her and her appearance with unique dressing.
Jenny was blocked by the building security as soon as she entered the lobby of the building.
“Miss, this is an office building, with big companies on it, are you one of the company employees?” the security guard’s eyes shifted, and he felt shy to look at Jenny.
“Sir, I’m here to look for someone.” Jenny’s blue eyes flickered.
“Looking for someone? Who are you looking for? We will contact for you, and you can enter upon confirmation.” said the security guard.
“So troublesome?” Jenny pouted.
The security guard explained with a smile, “What to do, our building is filled with big companies, and they have their own management rules and regulations.”
“Sir, there is no need, actually…”
Jenny said shyly with her head down, clutching her ponytail with her right hand, and said in a low voice, “Actually… I’m the girlfriend of Jack from DT Company.”
