Stay Around You Now And Forever novel (Hunter Jackson) novel Chapter 94

Emily and Terry were heading to the hotel just as Liam had said. But, Joe and Sally immediately arrived at the hotel. Emily and Terry were just one step ahead of them. They never intended to go on a secret date in the first place.

 

“How could the landlord suddenly pull back your room? He didn't even inform earlier. This is too much!” Sally complained as she was packing her stuff.

 

“I heard that this has something to do with the Winston family. Since that incident surrounding Amy had happened, it is natural that the landlord has decided not to rent that place to us anymore in an effort to vanquish suspiciousness.”

 

Joe was not one bit disturbed by this at all. The landlord already returned them their deposit, and they didn't need to pay for one month's worth of rental money too. In the end, they were the ones who benefitted from this. But, about them having no choice but to stay in a hotel...

 

Joe scanned his surroundings before landing his gaze on Emily. He was obviously feeling quite uneasy.

 

“Emily, this hotel room must have been very costly. How much we need to pay to sleep here for one night?”

 

“Around five hundred Yuan.”

 

“Five hundred Yuan!" Joe exclaimed, “Why didn't you choose an affordable hotel? There's a modest hotel near the school, 

and it only costs around two hundred Yuan for one night.”

 

“Terry is hurt now, how can we just simply stay in any hotel which is not up to par? What if he is infected by bacteria?”

 

“I'm fine.” Terry displayed a smile as he replied nonchalantly, “This is just a minor injury.”

 

“How could that be a minor injury? Your bones are on the verge of exposing themselves.” Sally retorted as images of his injury came to her mind. She couldn't help but shudder at the thought of his injury. It was a terrifying injury!

 

If he was slashed with a greater force, could Terry still preserve his arm now? She recoiled at the thought of this!

 

“I haven't expressed my proper gratitude yet.” Emily looked at Terry and she was harboring the same thoughts as Sally. She was still affected by that previous incident.

 

“You don't need to thank me.” Terry hated it when she wanted to thank him like this. He changed the topic immediately, “When you went back last night... Did Hunter make things difficult for you?”

 

When Emily heard that, she immediately lowered her gaze as a helpless glint flashed in her eyes. She forced a smiled while replying with ease, “Actually, I can't even be considered as Hunter's friend at this point. You guys are aware that we're just tied together because of an arranged marriage by our families.”

 

“So, there wouldn't have any difficulties in our relationship at all. He immediately went to sleep after returning home without even so much as acknowledging me.”

 

Terry's lips trembled as though he wanted to say something, but in the end, he remained silent.

 

Hunter was definitely not just a participant in their arranged marriage.

 

Last night, when Hunter arrived at the scene to rescue her, he was obviously relieved when he saw that she was not harmed. 

 

For someone like Hunter who was always composed and relaxed, it would mean that he was obviously very worried about Emily before he could confirm her safety. He wouldn't be looking so relieved if he didn't care about her at all.

 

Hunter... was not really oblivious to her well-being; it's just that this girl didn't discover this yet.

 

“Alright, you should get as much rest as you can here. Joe and I will go look for a new place to rent.” After declaring that, Sally pushed Emily slightly and added, “I think you don't have any classes to attend in the afternoon, right? Emily, after you finish your class, remember to come here to look after Terry.”

 

“Alright.” Emily put up a gesture to signify that she would abide by her suggestion.

 

Sally and Joe promptly made sure they were bringing their wallets before departing to search for a new place to rent.

 

Emily checked the time on her phone and realized that it was already half past eight now.

 

She already missed her first class. By the time she reached her class, she could only attend her second class.

 

“Terry...”

 

“Go ahead to your class; I'm sleepy by the way. I need to doze off a little.” Terry reassured her.

 

“Alright, then please get some rest and stay put here. I'll get you some food after the classes have ended.”

 

Seeing that he had nodded in agreement, Emily swiftly carried her bag and left the hotel. She rushed towards her school in order to get into class on time. Terry stared at the door which was just closed by her moments ago and a solemn look entered his eyes.

 

This poor girl must have suffered a lot last night, but she didn't show any sign of complaints in front of them. He could sense her changes recently. She had become quiet and collected. At the same time, she had become sharp. It felt like she had suddenly grown up in leaps and bounds, despite the fact that she was only eighteen now.

 

In the past, he always felt worrisome and pitiful about her. But lately, there were some strange emotions coursing through his heart whenever he saw her. Despite that, he couldn't be sure what his mind had in store for him. He didn't want to find out anyway. This scenario was the best one he could ever ask for.

 

There was some sound drifting in from outside the room, and the next second, the door to his room was abruptly swung open.

 

Terry couldn't suppress his laughter, “You little rascal, you are still so forgetful...” Then, he suddenly froze, because it was not 

 

Emily who had barged in at this moment.

 

Liam had flung open the door and the he stepped aside politely. Then, Hunter who had a terrible coolness as shown on his face came in. This was the first time Terry was being so near to Hunter.

 

Although they had worked together last night, because of the low visibility at night, Terry wasn't able to get a good look at Hunter.

 

But after studying his appearance carefully, Terry had to admit that Hunter's appearance was one of a kind in the whole of Bentson City. Nobody could compare with him at this point. It was no wonder Emily always had a look of admiration hidden in her eyes whenever she laid eyes on him. Girls would easily go crazy because of Hunter's appearance and temperament.

 

But Terry was not a female, so no matter how dazzling Hunter was, he wouldn't get himself too worked up. At the very most, there's a hint of admiration in his eyes. He wouldn't go crazy because of him.

 

Terry remained motionless on the bed while glaring at the two intruders.

 

Liam took a chair and put in next to Hunter, but Hunter continued to stand rooted to the spot, not intending to sit down on it.

 

“How can I help you, Hunter?” For someone like Hunter, time was money. He wouldn't visit Terry personally if there weren't any urgent matters.

 

Terry snickered coldly, “Could it be that someone has reported to you that Emily and I have been doing things behind other's back in this hotel?”

 

Last night, there was an inconspicuous Maybach which was parked by the road near the stalls. Hunter had been spying on Emily while seated inside the car.

Although Emily was oblivious to this fact, Terry had been very aware of this.

 

“She's my woman; even if she wanted to do something behind other's back, she wouldn't do it with you anyway.”

 

Hunter's expression was as cold as ice. There was no wasted emotion displayed on his ever handsome features.

 

There was an indecipherable dull light flashing in Terry's eyes. He was staring at Hunter without revealing any of his thoughts.

 

After they stared at each other for two seconds, Terry added, “Emily has saved me, so I won't hesitate even if I need to sacrifice my life for her.”

 

He was straightened up on the bed while Hunter was standing next to a chair. Their impressive aura had shrunk Liam who was the onlooker here.

 

Liam couldn't fathom that a youngster who was merely in his twenties was able to match his master's presence while being in his vicinity.

 

What was this guy's origin?

 

“I won't do anything that will hurt her or putting her in a difficult position” Terry didn't shy away from Hunter's piercing gaze, “if I have my eyes set on something, I will chase after it upright and honestly.”

 

His words had made something clear. There wasn't any possibility of cheating in a relationship on his part, unless Emily had left Hunter on her own volition.

 

“You better give up on this idea as soon as possible.” Terry wouldn't stand a chance here!

 

Hunter snorted coldly and turned around to signal his departure.

 

Liam looked towards Terry and said, “My little guy.”

 

After being stared at fiercely by him, Liam made a coughing sound as he changed his words, “Mr. Terry, the culprit from yesterday has been captured. Please come with me”
