Stay Around You Now And Forever novel (Hunter Jackson) novel Chapter 126

Request?

 

“No, no, Mr. Hunter. It is net a request. It's not. Mr. Hunter...”

 

Gosh! She's going nuts!

 

Didn't Mr Hunter hates the woman who makes the first move? She made hers and he... took the bait?

 

“Mr. Hunter, no... Wait. It still hurts-

 

That seary hand on her shaking body finally stopped. Hunter lowered his head and stared at her panic face, then raised his brows.

 

“Why did you do that if it is still hurting?”

 

“I...” Emily choked on words. Didn't she put up an act on purpose to make him hate her?

 

She never thought this would be the outcome.

 

“So, you were just putting up an act?" Hunter lowered his voice.

 

It felt like the air around them was frozen.

 

Emily panicked. She raised her head and looked at him. However, she couldn't read any emotions from his eyes.

 

She was so impulsive, but Hunter seems so calm.

 

He... knew it all along?

 

Emily clenched her fists. She really couldn't read anything from Hunter's emotionless eyes.

 

But one thing's for sure. Hunter knew she was pretending right from the start.

 

‘Did it bother you that much to stay with me?" Hunter's voice is icy cold, and he sounded annoyed.

 

‘Are you saying that my skills are bad and I'm not making you happy”

 

“No; he was her first and only man. How she'd know about the skills of the others?

 

‘Then, why is it?”

 

Emily was pissed. What was that question?

 

Their relationship based on a contract. Wasn't it normal for Emily to reject him?

 

‘These are not written in the contract.’ There's no need for any reasoning to reject him.

 

Contract.

 

The word pierced Hunter's heart.

 

It was only a contract-bounded relationship for her from the start.

 

What's there to expect then?

 

Hunter admitted that he was upset, but as for the reason why, he couldn't name it.

 

A Contract-bounded relationship was his idea.

 

Now Emily was only obeying the terms and rules on the contact. She wasn't interrupting his life nor bring influences into his life.

 

Wasn't that what he wanted?

 

Emily didn't know what went through Hunter's mind. He was so quiet and calm, and it scared her.

 

She didn't think she did anything wrong, but when he stared at her, Emily felt like she did.

 

It was so stressful.

 

“Mr. Hunter.”

 

“Who gave you permission to call me by that name?” Wasn't her his fiancé, based on the contract?

 

No fiancé would call their significant half like this.

 

Emily was confused. Didn't she always call him by that name?

 

“Then, Mr. Jackson..” she stopped the moment she saw the coldness his eyes.

 

Alright then. If you don't like that, then... Young Master?"

 

Emily followed what everyone called him. She thought she got the right answer.

 

However, Hunter looked more pissed off than before. He stood up and had his back facing at her.
