After Manson got off work, he heard that Emily had been in the Jackson family.
He had thought it was impossible, but the servant insisted it was true. Emily had indeed returned.
However, he couldn’t find a reason to see her in the WongRiver Pavilion.
He didn’t expect to meet her here when he came to the backyard for a walk.
“The wind is so strong. You will catch a cold with such a thin sweater!”
Manson walked behind her, took off his coat and put it on her.
Emily could feel his body temperature from his coat, which disperse the coldness.
Feeling the warmth, Emily suddenly realized that it was really cold.
She saw the man sitting beside her.
This man had made her suffer a lot for Wendy.
Now, he actually treated her as a friend.
Things in the world were really hard to predict!
“Are you thinking about Grandma again?” Manson stared at her face, which had been stiff due to the cold wind.
Emily nodded and pulled his coat a bit without saying anything.
“Have you eaten yet?” He thought if she had been sitting here all day.
When he saw her, she was totally lost in her thought.
And there were a few withered leaves on her hair.
Emily shook her head and looked up, only to find that all the street lights in the backyard were on.
She didn’t expect that she had sit there for the entire afternoon, but she didn’t notice it at all!
“There’s something above your head.” Manson took the withered leaves away from her hair.
They sat closely. It was as if they were hugging each other from afar.
Emily felt that their current state seemed too intimate.
She said, “Look, I have to go now.”
Manson had changed a lot. He was completely different now.
Indeed, he was no longer annoying as he used to be.
In fact, he now was kind of like a gentleman.
However, he was still a man from the Jackson family. Emily did not want to have any contacts with them.
She stood up, but her legs were numb.
Before she could stand steadily, she fell down.
She fell into Manson’s arms.
Manson’s hands held her shoulders. He knew that he should help her stand up, but he was still a little reluctant to let her go.
“Sorry!” Emily supported herself with her hands on his shoulders. She wanted to stand up, but she couldn’t.
Her legs were really numb. After sitting here for the entire afternoon, she felt her legs were numb and sore!
After stretching her legs for a while, Emily was about to retreat away from Manson.
Before she could take a step backward, she suddenly a cold gaze staring at her.
Looking sideways, she saw a figure stood under a tree not far away.
His back was against the light and she couldn’t see his face clearly.
However, his gaze was extremely cold, as if it could freeze everything.
Manson took two steps back after he helped Emily get up and stand steadily.
He was reluctant to part with her, but if he continued, he would only harm her.
“Hunter.”
Hunter did not say a word, and deep in his eyes was a cold and solemn looking that was even more cold that the wind of winter.
“I’ll explain it to him.” Manson turned around.
However, Emily said indifferently, “It will be the greatest help to me if you can leave now.”
Manson felt a little resentful.
She was no longer Hunter’s fiancé, but why did she still stay with him?
He clenched his hands tightly, but he was afraid that his chasing would make things difficult for her.
In the end, he could only have a deep look at her and left.
