Stay Around You Now And Forever novel (Hunter Jackson) novel Chapter 218

After Liam got off from the car, he immediately tried to get as far away as possible.

A period of time elapsed before the car door opened and a man emerged from within.

His complexion was undisturbed, his temperament was calm and composed and his outfit was impeccable. He was giving off a look of otherworldly coldness.

A woman emerged from the car following his steps, and although her attire looked like it was just fixed, it could be seen at a glance that there were creases on the fabric of her clothes.

Her hair was slightly messy as well. She had to be grateful for her good hair quality. With just a swipe of her fingers, her hair immediately looked like it wasn’t messy in the first place.

Despite that, her cheeks were tinged with an obvious redness, and her breathing was ragged and full of disturbances. There was a glint of emotional light seeping out from beneath her eyes.

If it was not because they had drunk too much, their looks right now must had been caused by some interaction between them that had somehow spiked their emotions.

“Why are you staring at me like this? You have caused me, your fiancé, to lose face in public. Don’t you think you deserve some punishment?” Compared to her haggard look, Hunter was smirking slightly.

Emily threw a piercing stare at him and thought that this guy in front of her was so shameless beyond her imagination!

Contrary to her real intentions, she couldn’t really just reprimand him in public because of this. This was because they were still fiancé and fiancée in name.

Emily fixed her attire once again before entering the hall.

To her surprise, she saw Sarah sitting on a sofa in the hall, looking uninterested.

When Sarah saw that Emily had returned, she immediately stood up but she looked beyond Emily as she directed her gaze at Hunter who was behind Emily.

“Hunter, you’re back now?” Her voice was low and rough, and there was a hint of anxiety hidden in it.

“Yes.” Hunter nodded and walked towards her with Emily. “Hi, Sarah.”

“Hunter, please let Nina off the hook this time. She is only a child who doesn’t understand the ways of the world.” Sarah began, and her tears which were welling up in her eyes were almost breaking free.

A tragedy had struck Nina, and although she couldn’t find an opportunity to visit Nina yet, she knew fully well that with the destruction of her hand, Nina could very well forget about her future career as an artist from this point onwards.

She was planning to visit Nina after this, but at this moment, she had to make things clear with Hunter first.

“Hunter, if Nina has done anything wrong in front of you, let me apologize to you on her behalf, is that alright?”

“I won’t pursue her for this matter.” Hunter stated his stance clearly, “Unless, she tries to stir something up again.”

“She won’t do that anymore, she really won’t!” Sarah instantly shook her head as a sign of guarantee.

“If that’s the case, you can go back now, Sarah. I am giving you my word that I won’t pursue her about this matter anymore.”

He decided to bring this matter to an end at this point.

Hunter headed towards a sofa and sat down, but Sarah was still rooted to the spot. She was staring at him while biting her lips.

“Sarah, is there anything else?” Hunter raised his eyebrows.

There was no distinction between his expression now and how he normally looked like. Although such a major incident had happened and had led to the ruin of Nina’s life, he looked unfazed by everything that had unfolded.

Sarah’s fingertips were shivering while she gawked at this man who was just sitting idly on the sofa. She had a decent relationship with this man.

She was worked up while feeling wronged at the same time. She couldn’t resign herself to her fate at the moment.

Despite this, she tried to suppress her anger from pouring out from within. She tried to maintain her usual calmness and tenderness while she spoke to him.

“Hunter, Nina is only twenty-two right now. She is really just a child.”

At her age of twenty-two years old, she hadn’t even graduated from school yet. She was at a tender age, an age when everybody was bound to make some mistakes.

There was no escaping the fact that people at this age would make mistakes. As long as they could turn over a new leaf, wouldn’t that be the best possible outcome?

Hunter trained his gaze at her while thinking that he shouldn’t get into any altercation with his stepmother who had been very obedient since marrying into the Jackson family.

Despite that, he was the type who didn’t like to explain everything about himself to anybody. This was why he had chosen to remain silent when he found that he disagreed with Sarah’s words.

It seemed like Sarah, who was trying her best to avoid any arguments usually, had her nerves being plucked somehow today.
