Stay Around You Now And Forever novel (Hunter Jackson) novel Chapter 408

Joseph had always felt that Emily was rather amiable.

However, it was different this time.

Seeing her at that moment, Joseph deeply felt the ties of kinship between them.

No wonder he always had a kind feeling towards her. It turned out that it was because she was his biological cousin.

“Joseph, how is it? Did you go to the hospital this morning?”

Emily came out in a hurry. Fortunately, Hunter was not here today, so she could be free to do anything.

Joseph suddenly pulled her over and hugged her in his arms.

“Joseph...” Emily was confused.

But being hugged by him like this, she didn’t feel the slightest bit uncomfortable.

He was very calm. As an introverted person, he seldom revealed a trace of true feelings. But, this time he did and it wasn’t disgusting.

On the contrary, it made her feel inexplicably at ease.

She felt that she should have been close to him.

Even Emily didn’t know when she started to feel like this.

“Joseph? What’s wrong?”

He had hugged her for a long time. Emily frowned and was a little puzzled.

“Is there … something unhappy?”

“Don’t you hate me?” Joseph finally released her.

Looking down at the girl in his arms, he sighed silently.

She was his cousin. The more he looked at her, the more he liked her.

However, she did not know their relationship after all. After hugging for a long time, he was afraid that she would get angry.

Emily shook her head and looked at him with a worried expression.

“Joseph, has anything happened?”

His worried expression made her feel anxious.

“If only you really were my cousin.”

He hadn’t decided whether to tell Emily about it.

After all, she had said that she had done a paternity test with grandfather, and the two of them had no blood relationship.

The safest way was for him to give them another test. When he got the report, he would explain it to her.

He believed that there must be something wrong with the test Emily and grandpa did last time.

Perhaps, Wendy had asked someone to tamper with it, so even Emily didn’t know that she was Sawyer’s biological granddaughter.

Hearing what he said, Emily’s eyes darkened.

She did want to be his cousin and Sawyer’s granddaughter.

This family, these people, could really make her feel at home.

In this lifetime, other than Matriarch Jackson and her grandmother, no one else had ever given her such a feeling of warmth.

When Joseph saw the gloominess in her eyes, he smiled and said, “If you were really my cousin, what would you do?”

“What can I do? Of course, I’ll call you big cousin.”

Emily smiled helplessly and retreated from his embrace. She stared at his face seriously.

“What’s wrong? Didn’t you go to test the blood relationship of Wendy and Grandpa Sawyer this morning? What’s the result?”

“We haven’t got the results yet. It’ll take four hours.”

However, that report was meaningless to Joseph.

Emily did not ask further. She felt that something was wrong with Joseph today.

However, no matter what he was thinking, Emily believed that he had no malice towards her at all.

“Since you came to City L, it seems that you haven’t looked around. How about I take you around?”

“The Gale family is hosting a banquet tomorrow. Don’t you need to prepare something?”

He was the eldest grandson of the Gales. Wendy’s return couldn’t even change his position in the Gale family.

The Gale family would have an important banquet, so he should help to organize it.
