Stay Around You Now And Forever novel (Hunter Jackson) novel Chapter 418

“Grandpa!”

Emily suddenly woke up.

She looked at the time. It was twelve in the evening.

Grandpa hadn’t returned yet, neither did Joseph. They were all out.

Wendy and Hunter also disappeared, along with Sasha.

Everyone seemed to have vanished.

After sleeping for two hours, Emily could no longer sleep. She lifted the blanket and got up.

She looked at the phone on the bedside table.

Until now, she had not contacted him, nor had he sent her a single word.

Actually, she knew very well that even if she called him, he might not be willing to speak to her.

After all, all he cared about now was Wendy.

Moreover, no one knew if he and Wendy were plotting anything in private.

However, if she didn’t look for him, she really didn’t know who she could turn to right now!

She took out her phone and landed her gaze on the familiar number. The next minute, she was about to click on it with her slender finger.

But she hesitated again.

After thinking for a while, she called Joseph. She said, “Joseph, how is it now?”

“Nothing new. Don’t worry, Wendy won’t do anything to Grandpa. Our people are still looking for him.”

It was impossible for Emily to not worry about Grandpa.

But now that there was no news from Joseph, her worries would be useless.

She hung up the phone and stared at Hunter’s number.

Not knowing how long had passed, she finally made up her mind and clicked on the number.

Very soon, Hunter picked up the phone, saying “What’s the matter?”

His voice was deep as usual. It sounded that he was still clear-headed, not sleepy at all.

It had past twelve o’clock. Was he still working?

“Hunter, have you been with Wendy all day?”

Emily tried her best to make her voice calm, even though her palms were already sweating.

“Yes.” His response was ambiguous yet mysterious, just like his personality.

“Then where is she now?”

“No idea.”

Emily didn’t know whether he was telling the truth or merely didn’t want to talk to her.

But somehow, she felt that she should trust him.

He may have treated her badly, but at least he disdained to lie.

“When you separated with her, did she say anything about what she wanted to do?”

“No.” It was still a simple reply, and after that, silence filled the air.

Emily couldn’t find any other way. He said that he didn’t know, and she could only believe him. It was impossible to get more information from him.

“Then…”

“Where are you now?” This was the first time Hunter took the initiative to speak to her tonight.

“I’m at the Gale’s House,” Emily replied honestly.

Hunter said that he was planning to stay at the Gale’s House, too. But he was Hunter, so he didn’t need to greet her when he went out.

However, she was different. She was alone in City L. If Hunter didn’t have any special arrangements for her, she could only stay at the Gale’s House.

After that, Hunter fell silent again.

In the end, Emily whispered, “Hunter, I’ll hang up first. It’s too late…”

“He’s fine.”

Before Emily could figure out what this meant, a beeping sound came from her phone. Hunter hung up the call.

She dialed again, but Hunter had shut down his phone.

What did he mean?

Did he mean Grandpa or not?

But why didn’t he make it clear? Was Grandpa really fine?
