The Born Winner (Jack and Katherine)

Chapter 220 Betrothal Gift

Just a few words.

But it made Amber lower her head in silence and blushed.

She said to Steve in an embarrassed tone, “Dad, what, what are you talking about?”

Steve stunned and laughed, “Oh, my daughter has begun to lecture her father. Amber, don’t get upset.

Your parents are not snobbish. You and Jack love each other, and a proposal has been made. Both of

you have come to age, and we have to catch up, don’t we?”

Amber blushed, but she did not deny it.

She knew her father was a little afraid that Jack might leave her, but that was not his main intention.

He was more concerned that they have come to their age.

She had been waiting for him for three years since they graduated from the university.

Now that everything was on track, it was time to finish things as soon as possible.

If her parents were snobbish, they wouldn’t have come over when they knew about it. They would have

called and asked her to break up with Jack.

When Jack led his mother and Mr. Ward into the Bamboo Grove.

Amber quickly took her parents and Minister Mable to the doorway to welcome them.

Both the parents were friendly to each other, and the atmosphere was joyful.

Jack and Amber followed behind their parents joyfully.

But, Jack felt a little sorrow in his heart.

He had been dreaming of the scene in front of him for a long time.

He had been working hard but was, in the end, looked down on by others.

The lady with him was someone else now, and the scene was different.

Maybe, from the moment he loved Katherine, they were not destined to be together and were meant to

have a problematic relationship.

Jack took a deep breath and suppressed the feelings of the past in him.

After all of them sat down.

Minister Mable asked the waiters to serve the dishes.

At the dining table, the atmosphere was joyful and enthusiastic.

After a few rounds of drinking and half full.

Finally, it was time for the main topic.

“Jack, one of the reasons Rosie and I came back here this time is to thank you.”

Steve’s face was blushing due to the wine, and he said seriously, “I am able to finish my years of

dream because of you.”

“It’s nothing, Mr. Knight.”

Jack smiled and replied. He knew that Steve was talking about entering the Hughes family.

Then, Steve spoke again.This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

“The second reason is we want to ask when are you and Amber getting married? Both of you have

come to age. Both of you might as well get married as soon as possible since your relationship is firm

now.”

“We are getting older and are expecting a grandchild.”

What he said made everyone on the table laugh.

“Yes, I have the same thoughts as you.”

Sophie said with a smile as if she had found someone with the same thoughts as her, “What I’m

thinking is, Jack and Amber should get married the sooner, the better.”

“Dad”

“Mom”

Amber and Jack couldn’t help calling out their parents at the same time.

Steve laughed and said to Sophie, “Sophie, our children are young and shy. It’s difficult to talk to them

about the matter. Why don’t we just set a date?”

“How about the 15th of next month?”

Sophie suggested.

Steve and Rosie looked at each other, then nodded.

Jack was a little surprised, “Isn’t that too soon?”

He had already had a wedding date in mind, but he didn’t expect their parents would set it in a date that

was not even a month left in just a few words.

It was just less than a month left, and many things had yet been prepared.

“Yes, there are wedding photos, wedding venue, and so many things to prepare.” Amber also agreed

with Jack.

“Oh, don’t worry too much, both of you. Both of you go ahead and prepare what you must prepare.

We’ll do the rest of the hotel selection, banquet, and list of guests.”

Sophie said seriously as she pointed to Mr.Ward, “If we can’t manage, we still have Mr.Ward to help

us.”

“Young master, Madam is right,” Mr.Ward smiled as he nodded.

That was the end of the discussion!

Jack could not do anything. He looked at Amber helplessly and nodded in agreement.

Then he looked at Steve and Rosie, “Mr. and Mrs. Knight, about the betrothal gift…”

“Didn’t you just give it to us?” Rosie said with a gentle smile, “Can’t the gift you gave us last time be

considered a betrothal gift?”

Jack was stunned.

“But…”

He quickly said, “It was just a gift for first meeting. Of course, it was not a betrothal gift.”

“you child, since we say that’s a betrothal gift, then it is.”

Steve said solemnly, “Besides, I had fulfilled my years of dream because of you. That’s the biggest

betrothal gift.”

“But…”

Jack wanted to argue. Marrying Amber with the proper traditional method was his sincerity towards

Amber.

Amber was willing to wait for him for three years and came to him even when he was in the poorest

situation of his life.

She had decided to be with him even when she did not know about his background.

Amber gambled the rest of her life on him. He was not willing to let Amber lose.

He did not want to let Amber have even a little regret with the wedding either.

“Jack, we know your sincerity towards Amber.”

Rosie smiled gently as she looked at Amber, “Steve and I have only one daughter, we treasure her, and

we hope she could marry someone good and have a happy life.”

“The betrothal gift is your sincerity, but we have seen your sincerity towards Amber. We only hope that

you could make Amber happy all her life. Then we would be happy as her parents.”

“But, it’s unfair for Amber. Amber deserves a proper betrothal gift like others.” Jack was persistent.

Sophie also felt sorry for Amber and said, “Mr. And Mrs. Knight, the betrothal gift is a must. It is not

easy for Amber and Jack to get this far. Since they are getting married, a proper marriage must be

given. It’s unfair for Amber if we don’t prepare a betrothal gift for her.”

Steve and Rosie felt warmness in her words.

Betrothal gifts were the part where the problem begins at the wedding of an ordinary people.

Although both the families were rich and wealthy and were not lack of money, saying such things

meant that they cared for Amber.

The betrothal gift represented their attitude!

“Cough, I’m an elderly for Amber. I suppose I have the right to talk a few words here, am I right?”

Minister Mable could feel tense, and he stood up with a wine glass in his hand. He said to Sophie and

Jack, “Jack, we’re happy that you have the thoughts. The Knights were clear about their thoughts too.

The best betrothal gift is Amber’s happiness.”

“Don’t think that it’s easy to be happy. It’s hard to have lifetime happiness. So, the betrothal gift is not

something easy to accomplish.”

“I’ll say this for Amber as her elderly. If you can’t make sure of Amber’s happiness in the future, don’t

blame if Steve and I come to trouble you.”

The joke made the atmosphere less tensed.

Jack stood up and raised the wine glass.

“Thank you, Mr. and Mrs. Knight. I’ll do everything I can. I’ll not let you and Amber down.”

Amber stood up too and raised her wine glass. She said with a smile, “Thank you, mom and dad.”

“That is how it should be. Then it’s decided that the 15th of next month would be the wedding!”

Steve stood up as he smiled. And they tossed and drank up the wine in their glasses.
