Stay Around You Now And Forever novel (Hunter Jackson) novel Chapter 226

You can fall in love freely.

Sounds pretty good.

But she was dumped, shouldn’t she feel sad?

Sally looked stunned but Joe was thrilled.

“So, I can pursue you from now on, right?”

He felt the chills on his neck, just like the way Terry’s cold eyes made him felt like.

Joe faked a smile and said, “Oh well, I was kidding. I don’t like Emily at all.”

“Am I that unattractive?” Emily got off from the folding bed and glared at him.

“No, I mean…Um, I am just not that into you.”

Joe faked a smile and stepped back quickly.

Of course, he liked her. She was a good friend of his, how could he hate her?

The problem is he didn’t dare to.

Everyone knew he didn’t dare to do anything because Terry was protective of Emily.

After all, Sally was prettier than Emily, wasn’t she?

Even if he intended to hit on friends, he should be doing that to Sally.

Emily looked a bit hard to play up to.

Emily walked to the bathroom, closed the door and saw her messed-up face in the mirror.

She didn’t know what she did last night, but the freckles made her face look dirty.

But these freckles…

She raised her hand and stroked across her face.

Cosmetics were always harmful to the skin. To be honest, she hated what was on her face.

With a light sigh, she cleaned up her face with the cleansing foam.

“Sally, bring me some clothes.” She called out from the inside.

“Okay.” They got everything at the office because they often worked overtime.

Sally gave her the clothes and heard the showers.

She looked at the closed bathroom door then turned to Terry.

“She called me last night so I brought her here afterwards.”

“Nothing special happened?”

Sally wanted to ask Emily and Hunter, but Terry blushed.

He walked to the window and glanced at the view outside, avoiding her gaze.

“We had some drinks then slept until dawn.”

Of course Emily was the one who slept.

He got up from her body after hearing the words “Hunter” came from her mouth.

His mind was occupied with her breath and hazy drunk eyes all night long. But he couldn’t help to think of the name she called out.

Just like that, he sat there in silence all night.

Sally and Joe looked at each other. She still wanted to ask, but he waved his hands right after to stop her.

“Well, Emily already decided to break up with Mr. Jackson in two years. We are just a bit ahead of schedule now.”

Joe giggled. There was no need to ask since whatever happened already happened.

It was obvious that Emily was upset. But nobody knew how upset she was exactly.

Let time heal everything.

Selfishly speaking, Joe wanted Emily to be with Terry.

They knew each other too well after being friends over the years.

He could vouch for Terry that he would definitely take care of Emily if she picked him.

So wouldn’t she be happier with Terry?
