When a damsel is in distress, a hero would come to her rescue.
That was why when Nina swung down, her heart was hoping for a miracle.
Perhaps someone would come to save her just as Young Master Hunter had saved Emily.
Until the rod landed squarely onto her wrist and until the pain radiated from her wrist and she almost fainted from the pain.
“Ah…”
The gruesome yelp sounded from the back alley and attracted the people along the street to look curiously.
But no one hurt this woman. Her injuries were self-inflicted.
That was why no one dared to interfere.
Not to mention that the atmosphere in the alley was so cold that no one would bother to venture into.
Lois called for the ambulance as an act of pity for the villain.
Emily looked at Hunter’s arm but because he was wearing a long-sleeve shirt, she couldn’t see if he was hurt.
But with such a forceful strike, there could very well be some internal injuries.
“You…”
“Come home with me.” Hunter’s voice was still cold.
Emily was stunned for a moment. He hasn’t calmed down from his earlier loss of temper.
“I have lessons tomorrow afternoon.” Afternoon… that’s why this excuse was flimsy.
Hunter’s expression changed, turned, and walked off.
Sally pushed Emily’s arm and the group looked at Young Master Hunter’s back view with a heavy heart.
He looked so … lonely.
“Emily …” Sally pushed her again.
She couldn’t resist when she saw the lonely image of a handsome man!
Lois was also heartbroken to see such a dashing man being treated that way.
“Emily, your class is in the afternoon and you have the time. Even if the class is in the morning, you don’t have to worry as they have lots of chauffeurs.”
This was not about whether she was able to make it in time for the classes.
It was because there was another woman in the house and that was why she was not willing to go back.
But what was she avoiding?
At this point, that was considered her home and she didn’t need to avoid Wendy.
She shouldn’t have to avoid her but she felt frustrated to see Wendy.
The car door was already opened by Liam as Hunter walked to the car.
But as Young Master Hunter got into the car, Liam’s eyes lit up when he sees the person behind him, “Milady!”
Finally, Emily has agreed to come back on her own!
No one knew what happened between Young Master Hunter and Emily during this period but giving each other the cold shoulder would only hurt them.
Yeah, the ones that hurt were the common folks.
During the period when Missus wasn’t around, Young Master Hunter practically became a workaholic.
Everyone in the company had to work at the same pace as him.
At times, apart from the cleaning workers, all the rest of the company staff had to work with him until the early hours of the morning.
Liam also felt very fatigued and if this was to continue, he might have a physical breakdown.
Emily smiled at him and looked into the car.
Hunter leaned back on the seat with his legs crossed and he looked like he was resting with his eyes closed.
But his entire body exuded the feeling for others not to approach him. That feeling was so strong that it could be felt even when separated by the car window.
“Please get in Missus, Master is waiting for you.”
Liam knew Hunter very well. Although he looked cold and distant, but… this cold personality, wasn’t it a type of arrogance?
Normally Young Master Hunter would sit on the right side of the rear passenger seat.
