Stay Around You Now And Forever novel (Hunter Jackson) novel Chapter 212

“That’s not true.” Sally pouted, “It would be a loss to a pure and innocent boy like you.”

Aryan smiled. It seemed that he liked to smile so much today.

He was quite different from his gloomy self in the usual times.

Sally leaned a bit closer, “But Nina is so beautiful, and she was once your girlfriend… Were you really so cruel to push her away?”

Aryan didn't reply. He simply picked up his beer bottle and took two sips.

Emily secretly kicked Sally with her foot under the table. Sally shrugged her shoulders in response yet didn't ask questions anymore.

Aryan’s reaction today had showed his determination. To him, his past with Nina and his affection for her had all gone like passing clouds.

So the refusal was just nothing.

“I had seen her dating with other man for several times. And I finally couldn't bear it at that time.”

He used to be young and innocent, and was so infatuated with Nina, his first crush.

Nevertheless, Nina had treaded on his infatuation again and again, which gradually exterminated his affection for her!

“This time, she came to me with the purpose of winning the competition. She was finally rest assured when she watched me sending message to Emi and telling her that I was to leave out team.”

Actually, he knew clearly that Nina would not treat him whole-heartedly after the competition.

Maybe a person’s personality had been predetermined as soon as he/she was born.

A fox may turn grey, but never kind. If she could really have changed, she wouldn't have seduced him on that day.

He used to think that he could not get over the past and that this was the reason that he lived like a soulless zombie for the past one year.

But now, with what had happened recently, he finally realized that he had put down the past long time ago. It was just that his subconsciousness had deceived him that he hadn't come out of the physiological shadows brought by Nina.

“I’m free from now on.” Aryan smiled.

“Well, the past is the past. Let’s get over it completely.”

Emily raised her beer bottle and looked into Aryan’s eyes with her brilliant eyes.

“Cheers for freedom! We all will live a carefree life in the future!”

…

Smoke drifted in the air above a luxurious private room.

Hunter was holding a goblet and lazily savouring the red wine that he collected long time ago.

He appeared to be enjoying the wine with easiness and composure, but it was hard to imagine that he was fuming deep in heart.

Monty Harris glanced at the empty bottle on the table and finally failed to hold back his curiosity any longer and leaned towards Henry.

“Henry, what’s wrong with Hunter? It seems like he doesn't want to see you today.”

“Really? I don't think there’s any difference on him comparing with the usual times.” Henry smiled lightly and didn't take it seriously.

Johnny Anderson glanced at Henry and flipped the eight dices that he was playing just now to the dice cup.

He snorted, “I saw a live stream showing you competing with Hunter for a woman today, is that true?”

“You competed with Hunter for a woman?” Monty was stunned for a moment and then instantly became excited, “How’s the result?”

Nevertheless, it was easy to deduce the result from the current situation as Henry was beaming while Hunter was drinking in a sulk mood.

“Which woman had had a bad taste to choose you rather than Hunter?”

Monty turned to look at Johnny, “I also want to see the live stream.”

“Am I that inferior?” Henry kicked him, and then walked over Hunter with the wine bottle at his hands and poured him a glass of wine.

“You’re good enough. Actually, if I were a woman, I would also choose you. Sincerely.”

Monty was telling him his inner thoughts.

However, upon hearing the words, Hunter, who was drinking wine alone, looked up and landed his cold gaze on Monty.

“Yuck, such a look. Hunter, you're always like this. Every woman would choose Henry but not you when seeing such a cold expression.”
