Stay Around You Now And Forever novel (Hunter Jackson) novel Chapter 71

Grandma also sensed that something was wrong with Emily. She gently asked her, “Emily, do you know Vincent?”

 

Emily, stunned, quickly snapped out of her thoughts.

 

Without waiting for her response, Vincent denied lightly, “No, we don’t know each other.”

 

His attitude was a little defying towards her; everyone could see that.

 

However, it was also true that Vincent, just like Hunter, kept a respectful distance between themselves and women.

 

The way Emily was staring at him was like her eyes glued onto him, his behavior was normal.

 

Hunter's grandfather cleared his throat and said, his tone a bit cold, “It's almost time.”

 

He stood up.

 

As he stood up, except for the grandma in the wheelchair, everyone else stood up as well.

 

Emily knew that she was being impolite. However, a moment ago, she really couldn’t control her emotions.

 

She was extremely happy. Other people could not understand this kind of excitement and joy.

 

“Emily, come push me!” Grandma didn't think much about it.

 

Every time Emily came to visit, Grandma especially liked to talk to her and get along. Even, Vincent, who had just returned home, was thrown aside her.

 

Emily immediately walked behind grandma and pushed her wheelchair carefully.

 

Grandfather walked ahead, and Emily pushed Grandma's wheelchair behind him. As for Hunter and Vincent, they walked at the end.

 

“So, this is your fiancée?” Vincent stared at the slender figure in front of him, his expressions getting colder.

 

“Yeah.” Hunter responded, but did not explained any further about her.

 

“Do you really want to marry her?” Vincent asked again.

 

However, Hunter asked another question instead of replying, “Are you back for good this time?”

 

Hunter avoided the topic, which showed, he was still not sure if he was going to marry Emily after two years or not.

 

As a result, Vincent's expressions became a bit relaxed.

 

“Yeah, I am going to stay here and follow your footsteps.”

 

“Not staying in the Jackson family?” Hunter smiled; he only smiled occasionally in front of his brother.

 

“Grandpa is going to skin you alive.”

 

“Is your skin still on your body?” Vincent's thin lips curled slightly, “if he wants to peel anyone's skin off, you should be the first one.”

 

Hunter didn’t say anything after that. Soon, they arrived at the banquet hall.

 

The banquet hall was already full of people from the Jackson family. To know how big was the Jackson family, one just needed to look at the ostentation.

 

Although many of the people sitting at the back were friends brought over by the younger generation of the family, all of the people sitting in the front were from the Jackson family indeed.

 

Women accounted for the majority, men sat at the front few tables, the five whole tables at the back were filled with women.

 

Naturally, Grandma sat with Grandfather. Besides them on the table, there were several gentlemen at that table, as well as several sons of the eldest gentleman.

 

Some people were absent. Only the eldest gentleman, his two brothers and Hunter and Vincent were there.

 

It was said that the fifth young master Porter Jackson was currently abroad and couldn't come back in time.

 

At the table beside them, the sons of grandfather's two brothers were sitting.

 

And the table diagonally beside that one, was taken by the sons and grandsons of the two brothers of eldest gentleman.

 

Every table, every seat, represented a different status.

 

In the rich and powerful world of the Jackson family, the distinction between status and position was clear and rigorous.

 

Even if the number of people was not enough for a table, no one else could just casually join at the table. This was the rule of
