Ch. 381..385: Stay Around You Now And Forever (Hunter Jackson) Chapter 381-385

Chapter 381: What Kind of Status You Are to Speak Like This

Sarah's funeral was held.

Because no one in the Jackson family pursued this anymore, she was still buried as the First Madam of the Jackson family.

However, in Emily's eyes, no matter how glorious the funeral was, all that was remained was just a lonely grave.

On the day of Sarah's funeral, she saw Manson.

Manson looked much thinner than before in just two days.

Although he was now slightly calm, he was still very haggard.

Manson was born in such a wealthy family, and his father was not his own.

His father had other families and other children even in this family, let alone in outside.

To Manson, Sarah was his only relative.noveldrama

Because there was no difference for him to have or not have a dad.

Now that Sarah was dead, could he not be desperate?

Looking at the depressed figure not far away, Emily remembered what Sarah looked like before she died.

"Please ... occasionally... take care of ... my son..."

Sarah's voice seemed to be still in her ears.

Emily felt sad and her tears almost rolled down her cheeks.

She was most afraid of seeing the separation between relatives.

When it was their turn to worship, Emily followed behind Hunter.

Actually, she didn't know what kind of identity she was to worship the First Madam of the Jackson family.

However, knowing that she wanted to come, Hunter let her come.

This time, he didn't give him a hard time.

"Mr. Manson." Emily walked over to Manson and stared through her sunglasses at his red and swollen eyes.

"My condolences."

Her voice was a little hoarse, and she didn't know what to say to comfort the man.

Manson looked at her and his thin lips trembling slightly. But he did not say anything.

Emily bit her lip and finally couldn't help but say, "Mrs. Sarah ... Before she died, she let me tell you to take good care of yourself."

Manson remained silent and stared at her.

Just as Emily was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly asked in a hoarse voice, "Since she was not afraid that things would be exposed, why did she commit suicide?"

Emily froze slightly.

She couldn't answer this question.

Because, she couldn't figure it out herself.

She turned around and looked at Manson. She wanted to say something but didn't know how to say it.

In the end, she said softly, "Anyway, you are the only one she cares about in her life. Take good care of yourself for her."

"What else did she tell you?"

Emily shook her head. In fact, Sarah really didn't say anything.

Manson stared at her haggard face.

He still had many questions. There were many things he could not understand.

However, Emily was "invited" by Liam to leave.

"Do you have much to say to him?" Hunter's expression darkened.

"I'm just sending my condolence to him." Emily lowered her head and returned to his back.

"What kind of status do you think you are currently speaking to him like this?"

Hunter sneered, "The person who killed his mother, or the woman he loved?" Emily's heart trembled!

Hunter's words were truly relentless.

After that day, Emily never saw Manson again.

Although they were all living in the Jackson's, it was as if their lives were completely separated from each other in different courtyards.

Sometimes, Hunter would attend the dinner party in the Jackson family without inviting her.

She lived in the Jackson's. But she had nothing to do with the people from the Jackson family.

A month later, Emily started to prepare for the exam.

Hunter hired private tutor for her, tutoring her homework every day and reviewing every course.

For an entire month, it was as if she had been placed under house arrest in the WongRiver Pavilion.

Until a month later, it was the day of the exam.

"Emily, what happened to you in the past month?"

Lois's tears rolled down her cheeks as she looked at Emily.

Actually, everyone knew that Emily must have been placed under house arrest by Hunter.

However, Emily did not let them go to the Jackson family to look for her. No one dared to go over, for fear of making her future life even harder.

The corners of Emily's eyes were also a little wet.

She looked down to conceal her grief and grievances. The moment she looked

up, her eyes became clear again.

"Nothing. I'm fine. I'm gaining weight, aren't I.?"

These words were true.

This month, Hunter ordered her to take her meal properly every day.

If one day the servant reported to him that she had eaten less, she would

definitely be punished that night.

However, his heart was as hard as iron. Even if she cried and begged for mercy, he would not forgive her easily.

After trying twice, Emily no longer dared to do so.

She made up her mind to eat more and didn't dare to be sloppy

Lois looked at her white and delicate face. Emily didn't look fat. This girl wouldn't

be fat no matter how much she ate.

However, she did look much better.

Lois exhaled and said helplessly, "But you ..."

"I'm really fine. If there was really something wrong with me, can I still be here?"

Emily spun around in front of them, "See? I'm fine."

Lois didn't say anything. Emily looked better, but she was also less active and more reserved.

"That's good." Knowing that Emily would come to school today, Joe and Terry, who were not in the same class, also rushed over to see her.

"Yes, I'm fine." Emily nodded. But there was one thing on her mind.

"I can go out for half a day today as long as I can go back before 9 p.m. I want to

see Sally."

The exams lasted for the whole morning. They tested two courses today and there would be two more tomorrow.

After the exam, they did not hurry back to the dormitory to study like the others.

Instead, they went straight to the hospital.

Sally was still the same, unconscious until now.

However, her situation was much better than before.

"There's a mysterious person who paid a large sum of medical fees. The medicine

and equipment Sally is using are the best."

Even the ward was the top single room in the hospital.

Every day, there would be two specialized nurses to take care of her.

In short, other than not being able to wake up, Sally had the best medical

treatment.

"The doctor still has the same opinion as before. They don't know when she will wake up. Maybe tomorrow, maybe next month, maybe ..."

Lois did not continue.

Emily sat beside the hospital bed, held Sally's hand, and gently rubbed it for her to relax the joints of her fingers.

Lois added, "The nurse will come to massage her body every day. They are very professional. Don't worry."

"OK." Emily nodded.

Looking at Sally's pale face, Emily was so distressed as if her heart was being stabbed by a needle!

But even if she was so distressed, there was nothing she could do. Sally still couldn't wake up.

After accompanying Sally in the hospital for more than an hour, they did not leave until the nurse came to ask them to leave.

Afterwards, Emily went back to the Sharp Group and the September Company

with others.

But she just didn't expect to meet the man by surprise here ...☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐

Chapter 382: Is He Kind to You

For more than a month, Emily didn't show up.

However, she was involved in all major decisions of the September Company.

In fact, Hunter just didn't allow her to leave the WongRiver Pavilion, as for what she did, Hunter wouldn't interfere. Especially recently, Hunter seemed to be very busy.

When he was busiest, he only went back one night a week.

Without Hunter, Emily had plenty of time.

Sometimes, she would have a video conference with others until two or three o'clock in the morning.

In short, she had never delayed her work in the September Company.

"Last year's performance report came out. Our loss is currently under 45%."

When Lois received the report, she immediately reported it to Emily.

"But don't worry. We established the company in the second half of the year. We still have half a year. We will definitely be able to control our losses to within 30%.”

This was the new performance report!

Emily looked at the report all afternoon and analyzed the losses with others.

However, the company's business is already moving in a positive direction and the losses have dwindled.

In another half a year, they might be able to keep it within 20%.

Some projects had already been profitable!

"The animation of the "Rebirth of the Goddess" is being planned. However, Emily,

I still want to ask carefully for your opinion on this."

Lois had estimated the cost. But she was a little uncertain.

"The production of this animation project would be very long. It will take at least

two years. But the live-action version of "My Mysterious Husband" can be completed next year."

"Emily, are you sure you want to launch the project of the "Rebirth of the Goddess"?"

Animation might make a lot of money, but it could also cost the company dearly.

"This may be our last straw at this critical moment."

Emily took out another report. "I said before that I wanted to keep the cost of the "Rebirth of the Goddess" out of budget."

"I understand what you mean. In this way, even if we lose money, it won't affect the entire profit plan."

Lois was still a little worried, "But this will increase our cost burden."

Their agreement with Henry was to make a profit of 30% within three years.

It was not easy for a media company.

“Then let's pretend that we've lost the money. Don't put it in the budget.”

Lois didn't say anything, and others also fell silent.

It was really hard.

However, wasn't difficulty also a kind of motivation?

"Alright! Then let's do as you plan. We will pretend that we've already lost that 100 million."

"Not 100 million, it is 50 million." Emily looked at Aryan and said, "Anyway, save the remaining 50 million for me."

"Emily, this is too hard for Aryan!" How could Aryan think of a way to save 50 million in labor costs?

However, Aryan nodded and looked at Emily firmly.

"Don't worry. I will definitely save these 50 million cost in two years."

"You're going to kill yourself!" Lois felt distressed.

Aryan smiled, "If I don't struggle when I'm young, am I going to struggle when I'm old?"

He was afraid that after he got old, he wouldn't have this chance again.

These words were truly irrefutable.

"Alright, let's settle the project for the "Rebirth of the Goddess"."

Emily opens another proposal, "As for "My Mysterious Husband", since we have chosen actors, let's launch it early this year."

They had an afternoon meeting in the office that day.

At six o'clock in the evening, everyone was tired but excited and came out of the meeting room.

Videoconferencing was still not as profound as live meetings.

A meeting made everyone see Emily's charm as a manager once again.

She was very decisive, rational, and even willful!

This willfulness, which relied on reason, could, on the contrary, arouse everyone's enthusiasm.

The road ahead was arduous and full of difficulties. But it was also a completely new challenge.

They all went back to pack their things and prepared to go out for dinner. Emily had nothing to pack. She hadn't worked here for more than a month.

She planned to wait for them in the lobby on the first floor. Unexpectedly, when she arrived on the first floor and the elevator door opened, she suddenly saw a slender figure.

Emily was shocked. Looking at his face that was clearly colder and more solemn than before, she could not react.

She even forgot that she should get out of the elevator first.

If she didn't get out, the people standing outside the elevator couldn't get in.

After sometime, the elevator door was automatically closed.

When she could no longer see this figure, Emily suddenly woke up.

Emily wanted to press the button to open the elevator door again, but it was too late.

The moment she thought that she would take the elevator upstairs, the elevator door opened again.

It was him who was outside and pressed the button to open the door.

"I, I'm sorry..."

Emily lowered her head and quickly walked out of the elevator.

She had thought that Henry would go in. But unexpectedly, he still stood there and looked at her.

The elevator door was closed. Someone wanted to use it upstairs, and the elevator went up.

Emily was a little uneasy. She wanted to leave, but she couldn't take a step forward.

Henry did not enter the elevator either, but continued to look at her without saying a word.

Finally, Emily took a deep breath and looked up to meet his gaze.

She smiled faintly and asked, "Long time no see. How are you?” "Not good."

"..." He said "not good" so seriously that it made her feel sad.

But it was all over.

Even if things weren't going well, they still had to go on.

"I'm taking the exam today and drop in. In the evening...

She paused for a moment before saying, "I'm going back later."

Seeing that the elevator was parked on the eighth floor, Emily knew that her companions would be coming down soon.

She forced a smile and looked at him, "I have to go. You ... take good care of yourself."noveldrama

His eyes were a little hollow, and he was still very handsome. But he made her feel sad.

She turned around and was about to leave while Henry caught her by wrist suddenly and pulled her back.

"Henry ..." Emily was shocked. The elevator was on the eighth floor and was descending.

They were coming. At this time, Emily did not want to cause any more trouble in front of her companions.

She didn't want to worry anybody else.

"Henry, it's time for me to go back."

Emily accentuated the word "go back".

He was clever. So, he must know what she meant.

She had been following Hunter for more than a month.

Even if he hadn't seen with his own eyes what Hunter had done to her in the past

month, Henry could imagine it.

So, why did he still care about such a woman who lived by another man's side all

the time?

"Henry, could you please just let me go? Lois and the others are coming soon."

Emily seemed to be pleading. She had made an appointment with Lois and the

others to go out for dinner later.

They were almost there.

Henry did not let go of her. Instead, he grabbed her wrist more tightly.

"Is he kind to you?" he asked expressionlessly.

Chapter 383: I Hate Myself

Was he nice to you?

It was so sad for Emily to hear that.

Emily thought that she was calm enough.

However, this simple question almost made her break down!

More than a month ago, she didn't say anything and wanted to break up.

Hunter hadn't called her for the whole time.noveldrama

He didn't even send her a single text message.

She did not get sad and think that he did not care about her.

On the contrary, she knew that all of this was to make her feel better and to not make things difficult for her.

"He treats me fairly. Not very well, but not bad either."

Emily knew that lying to Henry would only make him feel worse.

Therefore, it was better to tell him the truth.

"He doesn't care about where I go. But he wants me to stay in the WongRiver Pavilion, so I'll stay there this semester."

"And he got a private teacher for me. So, I didn't drop much of my lessons."

"In the Jacksons', I live a pretty good life. Look, I'm a lot whiter."

All of this was true.

No exaggeration, no concealment.

Hunter had indeed treated her like this.

The next second, the elevator stopped.

The moment the elevator door opened, Emily pulled her hand back.

At the same time, Henry let her go.

Emily was grateful. It had been more than a month since she saw him, but he was the same as before.

He was careful, considerate, and never made things difficult for her.

Perhaps, his request for her to stay was the biggest challenge for him.

This man...

"Henry, why are you here?" Lois and the others were surprised when they saw Henry in the September Company.

They haven't seen him here in the past month.

It seemed that if Emily didn't come, he wouldn't come, either.

Although they were all in the office park of the Sharp Group, the main building was quite a distance away from them.

If they didn't go to the main building to look for Henry, they wouldn't see him at all.

Today, Emily came back, and Henry also came.

Coincidence? Or was it intentional?

"Just to check the warehouse upstairs." Henry put his hands back into his pockets and said, "Let's see if there is a need for your company to expand."

However, it didn't seem necessary for Henry, a dignified Sharp, to come over and check the warehouse himself.

However, no one had said anything about Henry's excuse.

Lois asked, "So, have you eaten dinner?"

Henry shook his head.

Lois immediately said, "We are going out for dinner. Why don't you join us?"

Henry ignored her invitation. Instead, he lowered his head and looked at Emily beside him, saying, "Is that okay?"

Emily was surprised. But when she looked up at Henry, she smiled indifferently.

"Of course. The boss wants to treat us to dinner. How could you say no to that?" She just took Henry as her boss.

Emily did see that the light in Henry's eyes had dimmed a lot.

However, no one could say anything else at the moment.

Was that okay if he ate with them? Of course.

Lois smiled, "Then, hurry up. We're so hungry!"

They had a big meal, but nobody was comfortable.

It wasn't because Henry the boss was here, but because they didn't know where

they would have the next dinner together.

And they didn't know when it could be.

At 8:30, Emily had to go back.

Henry was the first one to leave. Everyone thought that he had something to do.

However, when they walked out, they saw him driving the dark luxury car that he liked at the entrance of the restaurant.

"I know the way you go home. Let me send you back." Henry opened the car

door, not giving Emily any chance to refuse.

But she wanted to refuse. She had planned to take a taxi home.

However, Lois gently pushed her, "Go."

In fact, Lois thought Henry was truly pitiful.

She had never seen such a handsome, wealthy and affectionate man since she was born.

She hoped that Emily could stop hurting him.

If possible, just give him some warmth for the last time.

Emily felt a little helpless. She was pushed to the car by Lois, so she could only get into it.

"I know you find it troublesome." After closing the car door, Henry stepped on the gas and drove the car away.

Emily told the truth, "He won't like to see me go back in your car."

Even though these words would hurt Henry much.

"It's fine. I'll pull over outside. I won't get close to the house. I won't let anyone

from the Jacksons see me."

She could say that she was going back by taxi. Was that okay?

Emily could no longer find any excuse to reject him.

"I thought you would hate me."

The car drove smoothly on the road. She looked at the changing scenery outside

the window and gradually calmed down.

Since she had got in the car, she should enjoy the good time with him.

Putting their relationship aside, they used to be best friends.

And they were the best in sync.

"I don't hate you." There was no smile on Henry's face. He said seriously, "I hate

myself."

Emily clenched her fist and didn't know what to say.

She understood what he meant.

But there was no need. He didn't have to think like that. It was just her own

problem.

"I was unable to protect you and your friends."

Henry felt very sad about it.

Emily was the same.

She took a deep breath and shook her head, "Hunter has long been very powerful. There weren't many people who could 'have the ability' in front of him, and now..."

She turned around and looked at Henry seriously.

"Since he returned from Aarigant, I can feel that he is more powerful than before. But I never dare to ask him about it."

Henry tightened his grip on the steering wheel.

Yes, Hunter had become stronger. He was so powerful that his friends like Henry could only look up to him.

It was because of a woman, Emily.

A relationship could be a disaster, but it could also become a good discipline.

After going through the tough time, Hunter has now become the supreme king!

"So, Henry, don't say that you don't have the ability. It's because your rival is too powerful."

Henry knew that Emily was comforting him, but what she said was the truth.

Who could be "tough" in front of Hunter?

Even the boss of Heaven-like Island was forced far away from the Bentson City by him. And he was still on the run.

Now Hunter was not afraid of offending anyone. And no one dared to offend him.

"Henry," Emily suddenly turned around and looked at him. "We are friends, very good friends."

"Yes." Henry nodded bitterly.

He just felt bitter and heartbroken.

In the end, he parked his car in the shadows, which was at least two hundred meters away from the gate of the Jacksons'.

Afterwards, he watched Emily get out of the car and walk towards the gate slowly.

Once again, she walked away from his life.

The moment she disappeared behind the gate, Henry clutched his chest.

Was he painful?

He didn't know.

Perhaps, he was just numb.

He was breathing with difficulty. And his heart ached so much that it seemed to have been torn apart.

When these feelings appeared from time to time in his daily life, Henry just got

used to it.

Hunter would treat her well, right?☐☐☐☐☐☐☐

Chapter 384: I’m Tired

Emily walked into the WongRiver Pavilion with heavy steps.

Then she slowly walked towards the hall.

When she entered, she suddenly felt a cold gaze from the sofa.

Her heart trembled, and she clenched her fist.

Emily thought that Hunter would also come back very late tonight. However, it was only nine o'clock in the evening and he was already sitting on the sofa in the hall.

There was no laptop on the table, only a cup of hot tea.

His phone was put on the desk, so he didn't seem to be looking at it just now. However, there were a few cigarette butts in the ashtray on the table.

How long had he been sitting here?

"Hunter." Emily took a deep breath and tried to keep calm as she walked towards him.

"Hang out with friends?" Hunter smelled of alcohol. It wasn't very heavy, but it had a very mellow feeling.

He drank again.

Recently, he seemed to have a lot of social dinners. And he came back several times with the smell of alcohol.

It had only been less than three months since he took over the Jackson Group. Now it should be the busiest time.

"Yes, I went out for dinner with my friends."

Emily walked to the sofa and stood there.

The conversation stopped, and the hall went quiet.

Emily did not know what he was thinking about.

Hunter was drinking tea quietly.

After standing for a long time, Emily said in a low voice, "Hunter, I'll go back to my room..."

"Who sent you back?" He suddenly asked.

Emily clenched her fist. She wanted to fine an excuse and tell him that she had taken a taxi back.

However, she opened her mouth to speak and then closed it.

The result of deceiving Hunter was not something she could take.

Finally, Emily said, "Henry sent me back to the gate."

Hunter did not say anything. He lit a cigarette and smoked it casually.

His expressionless face was cold and serious as always. Emily couldn't tell if he was angry or not.

However, even if he was angry, he would not show it on his face.

Therefore, Emily was even more uneasy.

Hunter just smoked for two minutes without saying a word.

There was no expression on his face, but it just freaked Emily out.

After standing for another while, Emily couldn't hold it any longer. She said indifferently, "I want to go up now."

"OK."

Hunter should be angry tonight.

Henry sent her back. No wonder he got so angry with her.

Emily was ready to accept the punishment. After taking a shower, she waited for Hunter in her room.

Hunter entered after half an hour. When he entered, he took his bathrobe and walked into the bathroom.

Emily's heart beat faster as the water fell from the shower.

Ten minutes later, Hunter came out with his wet short hair.

He threw away the towel on his hair and looked at Emily.

Emily clenched her fists, turned around, and lay on the bed.

Usually, if he was unhappy, he would do this to her.

After spending more than a month together, she was accustomed to his methods.

Hunter walked behind her and looked down at the girl lying on the bed.

Emily clutched the sheets. It made her even more uneasy when he remained silent.

She wouldn't get over tonight easily.

Then suddenly, Hunter slapped her on the butt.

"Ah!" Emily screamed out of shock instead of pain.

"Hunter?" Emily looked back at him with a puzzled expression.

"You like this posture so much?" Emily saw the glimmer of a smile in Hunter's eyes.

Was he laughing?

Emily couldn't react.

Ever since they made an agreement and she was forced to stay with him, she hadn't seen him smile sincerely for more than a month.

Was that faint smile real?

But wasn't he angry that she was with Henry tonight?noveldrama

"What? Are you so thirsty to turn yourself up like this?" Hunter stared at her body.

Emily was shocked. She hurriedly sat up and looked up at him.

Her small face flushed with embarrassment as she explained, "I'm not... I didn't mean to."

"You are not? So why are you getting yourself up like that?"

Hunter smiled faintly as he stared at her flushed face.

Emily felt that her face and body were burning.

He had distorted her intentions. She only thought that he...

However, she was lying on the bed just now. And the man was standing behind

her, looking at her with a mocking expression...

The more Emily thought about it, the redder her face became.

Just thinking about the scene made her embarrassed and shy.

"I don't want to have sex tonight. Don't turn me on."

Hunter walked to the sofa and sat down, "Pour me a glass of wine."

"You still want to drink?" After asking that, Emily realized that she had crossed over the line.

Anyway, in the past three months, she got no status around Hunter.

It wasn't that she accepted the fact. She just understood that there was no point arguing about it.

There was only about a month left. After getting over it, they would be done.

She walked to the wine cabinet. Now she knew how to open the bottle of red wine. She easily removed the wooden cork from the bottle.

She poured a glass of red wine and came to Hunter. She served it to him with both hands and said, "Hunter, your wine."

"Didn't you say that drinking isn't good? I'll listen to you."

Hunter gently pushed away her hands, leaned against the sofa, and closed his eyes.

Emily was a little annoyed. Did this guy play her around?

Since he didn't want to drink, why didn't he stop her when he saw her open it?

A bottle of red wine was opened. If he didn't drink it, it wouldn't taste good tomorrow. What a waste.

This bottle of wine cost at least tens of thousands!

The behavior of rich people could be so frustrating.

Emily put the glass aside and looked at Hunter's handsome face with closed eyes, not knowing what to do.

It seemed that she hadn't tried to get along with him like this for a long time.

Every time he came back and entered her room, he would either ask for sex or have sex with her.

Tonight, he said he didn't want it?

"Hunter, I'll go back to my room now." Since he didn't want it, it meant that she was free to go, didn't it?

Hunter remained silent. He still closed his eyes and rested, not responding to her at all.

He had a calm breathing and looked as if he had fallen asleep.

Emily didn't hear his reply. So, she heaved a sigh of relief, turned around, and tiptoed towards the door.

Just as her hand was about to touch the door handle, the man behind her said in

a low voice, "Come back."

Emily's body trembled. She was so scared that she almost fell to the ground.

Didn't he say that he didn't want her tonight?

The "coming back" was like a nightmare, causing her to feel as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.

"You are like those people. You came close to me with a purpose. When I'm asleep, you guys will think of plotting against me."

His words caused Emily to feel sorry for him.

"I'm not that kind of person." Emily walked up to him and wanted to explain.

However, Hunter suddenly opened his eyes and stared at her uneasy face. He said, "I'm tired."

Chapter 385: Are You Going Back to Him

After saying "I'm tired”, Hunter leaned against the sofa and closed his eyes again.

But Emily's heart was trembling.

It had been a long, long time since she had seen Hunter reveal such a tired state in front of her.

He was like a god. Especially during these two months, he was completely an unattainable god on the battlefield.

No one could get close to him, and he did not allow anyone to do so.

He was cold, arrogant, and condescending.

But now, he said softly to her that he was tired.

He used to pull every string he had to keep her by his side and tortured her in all

sorts of ways.

Only one sentence, "I'm tired", made her shocked and sad!

She subconsciously put down the hand on the door.

However, after hesitating for a while, she pushed open the door and left.

The moment the door was closed, Hunter slowly opened his eyes.

He looked disappointed and lonely through his dark eyes.noveldrama

Emily still loved Henry.

He had no other choice but to use the strongest and coldest method to keep her beside him.

What would she do if she was free?

She would immediately go back to Henry without hesitation.

Hunter smiled lightly and sat on the sofa for a long time. Finally, he picked up the wine cup that Emily had just placed on the table.

His stomach was full of alcohol. He did drink quite a lot tonight.

However, there was no companion for him other than wine now.

Just as Hunter was about to drink the wine, he heard footsteps coming from outside.

The door was pushed open and the slender figure walked in.

It was Emily who silently walked over with a cup of hot tea.

Looking at the tea in her hand, Hunter held the wine cup tighter.

Didn't she leave him and go back to her room just now?

"Didn't you drink a lot tonight?"

Emily took away the wine cup from his hand and put it aside before giving him the tea cup.

"Drink some tea. It will warm your stomach so that you won't be so uncomfortable."

Hunter didn't know how long it had been since he was taken such care of.

Looking at the cup of hot tea, he did not take it immediately.

He just watched it quietly and felt a little bitter.

Perhaps, Emily could understand what he was thinking about.

Just now, before she left, his words made her upset.

Did Hunter think that everyone approached him for the forces behind him?

Even his family, all his relatives, all his good friends did so?

And those people were all secretly plotting against him?

During the two months he took over the Jackson Group, he must feel too much pressure and face too many conspiracies.

"I didn't mean to flatter you."

Emily held Hunter's hand and put the teacup in his hand.

However, he still didn't want to drink it. Just as she was about to withdraw her hand, he gently held her hand and said, "Feed me."

Emily sighed.

She took the cup back, then put it close to his lips, and began to feed him.

The tea was warm and bitter with traces of sweetness afterwards.

Hunter narrowed his eyes. It seemed that he enjoyed the feeling of his stomach being warmed up.

This man had been cold for too long.

Not only was he cold to others, he was also cold to himself.

After drinking a cup of tea, Hunter stood up and walked towards the big bed in the

room.

Emily was suddenly at a loss.

He said he didn't want her tonight.

"Looks like I haven't left a good impression to you for the whole time."

Hunter sat by the bed and lay down. Then he rolled over and lay sprawled across the bed.

"Come and sleep with me."

Emily didn't know what he wanted to do. But she was cautious.

She walked to the bed and sat down, looking at him.

Hunter, however, turned his face away and did not look back at her.

It was said that men who liked to sleep on their stomachs were very cautious.

However, she could feel that at this moment, this man trusted her.

Now Emily understood what Hunter meant by "sleep with me".

Just lying down with him.

However, she did not lie down. Instead, she sat down beside him.

Hunter turned around. This time, he raised his head and rested on her leg.

The moment he slept on her soft legs, both of them were touched.

There was a feeling of laziness as if he returned home and slept on his wife's lap.

He was relaxed and felt at ease in the most comfortable position.

"You have to let me sit beside the headboard. I'm uncomfortable without any support."

Emily looked at the perfect profile of the man and whispered.

But he didn't react at all.

Hunter didn't care about Emily when he became willful.

Because he knew that she would find a way to deal with it.

Emily breathed out, hugged his head, and gently moved her body.

Finally, she managed to lean against the headboard. Then she let him rest on her legs again.

The three-meter-wide bed was enough for Hunter even if he slept that way.

During the process of moving, the man did not snort or react at all, as if he was very docile and obedient.

It had been a long time since Emily felt that on him.

So, she just felt warm and bitter now.

Then she began to give a gentle massage to his temples.

There were some words that she shouldn't have said. But for some reason, she couldn't help but speak out.

"Actually, there are many people who really care about you. However, you are too big for them to reach."

It was not because he was too powerful to get along with. It was just that rare people could empathize with him.

If he could be more easy-going and look back, he might be able to see a different possibility.

Hunter did not say anything. But he breathed faster.

However, it just lasted for a short while. Then he regained his calm breathing.

This man always liked to hide his heart. No one would be able to see through him for his whole life.

Perhaps she had a chance to know him.

But those were the past.

Once Hunter hid away his feelings, it was almost impossible for others to break

him open again.

Moreover, she no longer had a key.

Even if the door to his feelings was opened one day, the person who took the key would not be her.

Emily restrained her thoughts and kept on rubbing his temples.

His breathing turned calm again.

When he closed his eyes, his long and dense eyelashes casted a fan-shaped

shadow. It was so beautiful and charming.

Even women were jealous of his eyelashes.

It was not easy for her to look away.

Just as she was about to cover him with a blanket, she heard his deep voice,

"There's about a month left."

About a month?

For a moment, she couldn't react.

However, Hunter said indifferently, "After it's over, do you want to go back to him?"00000000☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
