Stay Around You Now And Forever novel (Hunter Jackson) novel Chapter 180

Emily was taken aback, but she didn't expect that Terry would care about the affairs of the Jackson family.

 

Especially, it was Matriarch who had nothing to do with him.

 

"Grandma inhaled some heavy smoke. She became weaker, but the situation is stable."

 

She looked at Terry and saw him secretly breathe a sigh of relief. She still felt puzzled, "What's wrong? Why do you suddenly care about the affairs of the Jackson family?"

 

"Nothing."

 

Terry couldn't tell lies and make excuses, so when he didn't know how to explain, he didn't explain.

 

"I'll finish installing these seats. You go ahead with your work.”

 

Sally had hired some people and they would come to work directly next month, but many things in the office had not been done.

 

Terry was really busy.

 

But Emily always felt that Terry was a bit weird.

 

She didn't know why he was weird.

 

Seeing that he was really busy, Emily was not good to bother.

 

She could only go back to the chair and continued her scripts.

 

Because the office was close to the school, except for Joe and Terry who had no class in the morning, Emily, Lois, Sally, and Rufus had to rush to school at 9:30.

 

But they didn't expect that Aryan would also wake up, insisting to follow them to class.

 

Aryan seemed a bit withdrawn and didn't like dealing with strangers, but he was very persistent in his studies and work.

 

The school bell rang. The five friends packed up their schoolbags and left the classroom to walk to the school gate.

 

Lois and Sally were discussing what they would eat.

 

"Let's eat braised pork today. I haven't eaten it for a long time.”

 

Both of them had been losing weight recently. Now they almost couldn't help drooling when they think of the aroma of braised pork.

 

"Rufus, okay?” Sally blinked at him.

 

"Of course it's good." Rufus, a foodie, liked delicious food.

 

"Emily?"

 

"Aryan just gets a little better. Eat something light." Emily rolled her eyes at them.

 

Sally and Lois immediately surrounded Aryan, pitifully, "Can we get you a bowl of white porridge? You pretend not to see us eating meat, okay?"

 

Aryan wanted to laugh. He had never lived in a group life and had always been alone.

 

Unexpectedly, he felt team life seemed to be so interesting.

 

Originally, he liked quietness the most. After adapting to Lois and Sally's nagging, he thought they were both fun.

 

"Okay." He didn't any preference for the food.

 

"No, today’s lunch must be light. Everyone is the same." Emily declared.

"Emily......"

 

"I said no."

 

They were chatting happily, but before they left the campus, they were suddenly stopped by several persons on the green trail in front of the teaching building.

 

"You are the members of September Drawing Club? Design 1801?"

 

The lead boy, who seemed to be a junior, stared at Lois who was walking in the front, and snorted coldly.

 

Lois was so frightened that she took two steps back subconsciously. These people were so strong and tall which made others fear at first glance.

 

"What's the matter?" Emily walked in front of Lois.

 

Rufus and Aryan immediately stood beside her.

 

Although they seemed to be aggressive and to be very provocative, they couldn't let a girl stand in front of them alone!

 

Lois quietly tugged the corner of Emily's clothes. These people looked like not kind!

 

"I heard that your club has a Genius Painter. He can draw several episodes a day.’

 

Several boys stared at Emily's hand with sharp eyes, “Is that you?"

 

"It's me." Aryan pulled Emily behind him.

 

"Oh, you are very capable! Several episodes for a day? Are you kidding me? You must ask others for help."

 

"What does it have to do with you?" Aryan said coldly.

 

"Nothing. I just want to come and see what kind of hands the Genius Painter has."

 

Several boys stared at Aryan's hand. Their eyes clearly showed malicious.
