Stay Around You Now And Forever novel (Hunter Jackson) novel Chapter 36

 

Liam stood outside the door, as soon as he saw Emily coming out of the room, he rushed over.

 

"Missus, this... no matter what, today is your engagement, I hope that Missus can... pick up your spirits....

 

He hesitated. The agreement was drafted by him and he knew the details very clearly.

 

For a girl to be informed during the day of her engagement, that her fiance and she will be acting for the parents to see, which also meant that there would not be any passion between them, was a huge shock.

 

He was slightly worried that Missus would be unable to handle this blow.

 

Emily blinked at him, “I'm feeling great, why?"

 

"Missus...' Liam analyzed her expression, the sparkling eyes, smile and... she indeed wasn't acting.

 

"You...

 

"Liam, when did you become so wishy-washy? Just say what you want!"

 

lts seven now and in an hour the engagement banquet will begin.

 

She was only being engaged, not married. The formalities won't be as many.

 

Later after the entrance, the Jackson Family Patriarch and banquet host will announce and thereafter Hunter and she will exchange the rings.

 

She had another hour to eat the delicacies downstairs!

 

Liam was stammering but in reality, he just wanted to say a few words to console her.

 

But, how was it that Missus didn't seem to need his consolation?

 

"Forget it, send me a message if there's anything important." Emily decided not to wait, turned and left.

 

She looked at the time on the phone, five past seven, the day will be over soon. As long as this day passed, Sally's tragedy will be prevented.

 

And now, it's slightly more than four hours till midnight. If she doesn't leave the school, everything will be fine. Half an hour ago, Sally sent her a message telling her that she was eating some noodles in the dorm.

 

After this, she Ïl give her a nice treat as compensation.

 

Emily walked with a bounce into the lift and Liam felt increasingly surprised.

 

He walked to the waiting room and saw Master Jackson still seated at the desk, smokindg.

 

The agreement was clearly signed by Missus but how was it that Missus was happy and Master Jackson, who achieved his objective, was upset?

 

"Master Jackson." Liam walked in and kept the agreement.

 

Since the agreement was signed, that meant that Master Jackson wouldnt have to be entangled with Missus. Isn't this a good thing?

 

"Missus, she...' Liam paused before continuing, "seems like she isn't upset, Master Jackson, I think in future she won't disturb you anymore."

 

"Do you mean that my attractiveness has reversed to this extent? She was not interested in me at all?"

 

Hunter looked sullen, Liam felt a chill going down his spine.

 

This this this... what's the meaning? Why does Master .Jackson behave like he had been abandoned?

 

Liam shook his head, suspecting that he saw wrongly.

 

He looked again and Master .Jackson already opened the laptop. The unhappiness a moment ago seemed to disappear.

 

Should, perhaps, looks like... he really saw wrongly?

 

Master Jackson always hated women who bother him. Now that missus will no longer trouble him, he should be happy, shoulder he?

 

He must have seen wrongly.

 

Liam breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "Master .Jackson..."

 

"Very funny?" He squinted his eyes.

 

"“Ah!" Liam froze and numbed up. "No, not funny...'
