Stay Around You Now And Forever novel (Hunter Jackson) novel Chapter 8

"1s Emily here? What's going on? Get her down here immediately!"

As he arrived home, Charles stomped his feet in anger when he heard that Emily was upstairs in her room. He thought that his youngest daughter had met with an accident with or without Hunter .Jackson. But why did she come here alone? Does she intend to abandon her marriage? What the hell was going on?

That good for nothing girl! She isn't even that pretty and yet Master Jackson was willing to marry her, how can she be so useless! lf she offends Hunter Jackson, how will the Gale family survive in Bentson City? She's going to drag all of us down.

His wife Kate Gale glared at the maid and shouted, “Hurry and get Emily down!"

Wendy lowered her voice further, '!f our families are not bound by marriage, Grandmother .Jackson will definitely be very upset. We really can't allow this marriage to be cancelled."

Kate of course knew what her daughter meant and continued, “Originally, it was the wish of Grandmother .Jackson to bind the

Jackson and Gale families in marriage. lt appears to me that Master .Jackson isn't that fond of Emily.'

"What do you mean?” Charles said a bit more upbeat as he began to sense a way to get out of this mess. Kate said immediately, "lÍ we were to change another daughter of the Gale family, someone who is far prettier and talented, perhaps

Master .Jackson will approve..."
