Stay Around You Now And Forever novel (Hunter Jackson) novel Chapter 127

Hunter stepped into the room from the balcony as Emily hung up the call and put her phone aside.

 

“It was just a friend," Emily didn't know why the need to explain herself.

 

When she saw him staring at her phone, it just came out so naturally.

 

“I see." Hunter's lips closed tightly. There were many inexplicable emotions in his dark eyes.

 

The atmosphere got awkward. Emily coughed lightly and smiled at Hunter.

 

“Mr. Hunter, it's getting late. Don't you want to...go back and rest?"

 

He spent the whole night in her room without telling her what he wanted.

 

These were so stressful.

 

Hunter felt sad when he looked at her and her fake smile.

 

He stood up and walked towards the door.

 

He was gone, for good.

 

Emily took a breath of relief the moment the door shut.

 

What a dangerous night!

 

It was always this dangerous with him around. Emily would have been ‘eaten’ by him if she wasn't careful enough.

 

Although Hunter is the dream guy for many women, this didn't mean that he can do anything he pleased.

 

Furthermore, Emily is not a shallow girl that believe only in good looks. She would never give herself in just because the guy is handsome.

 

Hunter felt depressed after walking out of Emily's room.

 

There must be something wrong with him. He had never felt anything like this before in his life.

 

His phone rang the moment he arrived in his room.

 

He picked up the phone, and he heard, "Brother, we still need one more person for the game. Do you want to come over?"

 

“I'm not interested,” he wanted to end the call. At the same time, someone knocked at his door.

 

Emily never expected that she would have to come looking for Hunter, especially when she just asked him to leave.

 

She had her hesitations. However, her desire to go out of this place overcame them.

 

The door wasn't closed tight. After Emily knocked, she reached her head into the room.

 

Hunter held his phone, and the call is still connected. When he saw her, he casually put his phone aside.

 

“Is there anything?"

 

“Are...you busy right now?" Emily saw his phone. It seemed like he was on a call with somebody.

 

“I should probably come back later."

 

“It's fine,” Hunter pushed his phone further away, "Come on in.”

 

Finally, she came to find him of her own will. Hunter thought she would never be close with him.

 

Hunter put up a straight face on purpose. He wanted to look cool.

 

Emily just asked him to leave her room. Now that she came to him, he needed to gain his dignity back.

 

However, Emily stood at the door and didn't want to come into the room.

 

Under hesitation, she carefully asked, "Mr Hunter, my...my batchmate invited me to a karaoke session and...I..."

 

“Do you know what time is it now?" Hunter's ego had been crumbled and tore into many pieces.

 

“If you are afraid that I'll come back late and interrupt you, then maybe I can stay overnight at my batchmate's place. They got a bigger place with two rooms. Sally and I could stay there.”

 

Emily never noticed. The more she sounded excited about her plans, the sulkier Hunter became.

 

Two rooms? And she could stay there?

 

Was she saying that she wanted to move out and stay in a house rented by Terry and Joe?
