Chapter 821 Bold Thoughts


    The breathing wasbored 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


    eyshes 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 ced 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 gue 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 ne 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 iste themselves for a period. Just like the time when they were targeted


    by the Dark assassin squad.


    Both Steve and Rosie understood the need for this and they repeatedly advised andforted 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, andforted, “Don’t be sad,


    your parents maye 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.


    Thereafter, she turned and walked into the hall.


    Brent and Daisy looked at each other in surprise as they stood beside Jack.


    After her marriage to Jack, Amber now lived very far from her parents. Their current reunion was so


    short-lived and in such dire circumstances. Though Brent and Daisy had not gone through such an


    experience, both of them could feel Amber’s heartache.


    After the mysterious man returned, he no longer remained in the shadows. The key reason was his


    physical condition prevented him from doing so. Jack also would not allow him to remain in the


    background to protect him. Now that he was severely injured and was in no position to remain in the


    shadows to fight off any killers that may attack Jack. It was suicidal for him to do so.


    Jack had this intention when the mysterious man was wounded at South Maine and even more so now


    that he was more severely wounded.


    “Go andfort her.” The mysterious man said to Jack.


    Jack shook his head and said, “I’m helpless in this situation and I don’t really know how tofort her.”


    He smiled bitterly at the mysterious man.


    Brent and Daisy’s expression likewise revealed their agreement on this matter. It was indeed because


    of the Bloody trap that they had to arrange for Steve and Rosie’s abrupt departure.


    It was unavoidable for Amber to feel upset so how … could Jackfort her? Surely they could not


    risk Steve and Rosie’s safety just because Amber could not bear to be apart from her parents. Or


    perhaps Amber should have left with her parents?


    Everyone knew that the former was impossible and they equally knew what would be the oue of


    thetter.


    Amber was Jack’s wife and her status was different than Jack''s. Simrly, the killer’s ‘attitude’ towards


    Amber would be different.


    Jack sighed again and shrugged. He then signaled to Brent, Daisy, and the mysterious man to go to


    the courtyard for a seat.


    “What’s up?” The mysterious man asked.


    Jack replied, “I was thinking about this. Firstly, perhaps I can ask my father if it was time that we


    maneuvered, secondly …” Jack paused and his eyes narrowed as he rubbed his nose.


    Jack grinned and said, “I have a bold idea!”


    “What?” The mysterious man asked curiously.


    Jack smiled as he looked at the three of them and continued, “I will need your help for this to work but it


    will be very dangerous.”


    “What?” Brent eagerly asked.


    Jack took a deep breath and pondered for three seconds. He was very focused and then slowly said, “I


    need you to capture a killer during the next assassination attempt!”


    What?! Brent, Daisy, and the mysterious man were astonished.


    Jack said with a straight face but when he sniggered when he noticed their shocked expressions, “I


    know that it’s very dangerous, that’s why I said that it was a bold idea…” Before he could finish, Jack


    felt arge hand on his forehead.


    Then, the mysterious man said, “Strange, you don’t have a fever, howe you’re spouting


    nonsense?”


    Jack was speechless…


    Even Brent and Daisy looked at Jack with bewilderment.


    Brent said with reservations, “Master, your bold idea is not only dangerous, but it could also be suicidal!


    The skill level of these killers, it’s as good as attempting to capture a lion alive!”
