Stay Around You Now And Forever

Chapter 393: He Was So Gentle to Her

Wendy never dreamed that Hunter would come to see her because she was injured.

“I … I’m fine. It’s just … a little blood. I’m a little weak.”

It had been a long time she saw him last time. Wendy was so excited that she muttered.

She struggled to sit up, but she was in so much pain.

She accidentally touched the wound.

Although the wound wasn’t severe, it really hurt.

Hunter walked to the bedside and stared at her blushing face.

He had never been articulate. Such a gaze would be enough for Wendy to savor for a long time.

Wendy finally sat up and raised her head to meet his gaze.

Being stared at by him, she blushed, immediately, and was almost overwhelmed by a fit of dizziness.

“I’m really fine. Hunter, am I the reason why you are here?”

“Partly.” The other part was Patriarch Gale.

However, Patriarch Gale had been stuck with Emily ever since he saw her.

Hunter, who had come to visit him, was completely ignored.

“Then ...” Wendy had a lot to say to him.

Had Hunter ever thought about her since they last saw each other a month ago?

What Hunter said when she left the WongRiver Pavilion was lingering in her mind.

No matter how stupid she was, she knew what he had meant.

She didn’t know what Hunter thought of her now.

“Hunter, are you going to stay in City L for a while?” Kate smiled.

Wendy was the most precious granddaughter in the Gales. If she could marry the current president of the Jackson Group, it would be great.

Wendy would definitely be the richest and most influential woman in City L and even the Bentson City. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

With Hunter’s help, everything in the Gales would fall into Wendy’s hands.

Hunter did not reply and only nodded casually.

Kate, self-conscious as a nobody, didn’t expect that Hunter would care to respond to herself!

Kate’s face turned slightly red as she looked at this handsome man, a man of every woman's type, old or young.

Although he was more than ten years younger than Kate, his charm was irresistible for her!

Hunter ignored her and looked at Wendy. His voice was usually gentle.

“Do you want to delay the banquet on Saturday?”

“Why?” His voice was so pleasant to hear. Even if it wasn’t gentle, it was not that cold.

Wendy was about to lose herself in it, so she was a little distracted.

“You are injured. Don’t try to be strong now.”

“No!” Wendy shook her head hurriedly.

“I'm blessed to be with my grandfather and aunts. There’s no need to delay this banquet. I’m fine.”

Wendy lifted the blanket and got off the bed to show him how she looked.

“Hunter, I’m really fine. You don’t have to worry about me.”

Hunter’s concern was a pleasant surprise to Wendy.

Although they used to live under the same roof, Hunter never cared so much about her.

With this outstanding man in front of her, she seemed to have forgotten others' presence.

“Hunter, since you’re here, let me show you our house, okay?”

It had been a long time since she had been alone with Hunter.

There were a lot of people around in this room.

It’s not appropriate to ask them out. She thought they might as well go out for a walk on their own.

Wendy lowered her head to look at the arm she was holding. Her heart was pounding wildly.

She forgot that Hunter hated being touched by women the most. But he didn’t push her away today.

He even didn’t resist.

After not seeing her for a month, did he realize that he liked her?

Otherwise, why did he not only show concern for her today, but also let her hold his arm?

Wendy wouldn’t to let it go since his arm was now linked to hers.

“Hunter, can I take you for a walk?”

Hunter did not say anything. Joseph smiled and said, “The banquet is on Saturday. It's still two days away. Hunter, why don’t you stay until the banquet?”

Hunter smiled and said, “How could I disturb you?”

“No, you’re not. There are plenty of guest rooms here!”

Wendy couldn’t believe it. Hunter was willing to stay?

She hurriedly looked at Kate.

Of course, Kate understood Wendy’s intentions. Without waiting for Wendy to speak, Kate took the initiative to say, “I’ll get someone to prepare a guest room immediately!”

Wendy looked at Hunter and said softly, “Hunter?”

Hunter seemed to smile. But this smile was too deep. No one could understand it.

He said indifferently, “Alright.”

…

Milo put down his phone and quickly walked towards the two people in front of him.

“Patriarch Gale, Emily will stay with us for two days!”

“Really?” Patriarch Gale stared at Emily with a surprised expression, “It’s a deal!”

Emily was dumbfounded. Who made this decision for her?

Emily had to obey Hunter’s decision. She didn’t even have a say.

“Are you saying that Hunter is planning to stay here for two days?” She looked at Milo.

Milo nodded and smiled, “Joseph just called me and said that Hunter intends to stay. Right now, the servant is preparing the guest rooms for you.”

Emily would like to stay for two days with Patriarch Gale.

However, why would Hunter want to stay?

He would live in someone else’s house.

He had never done this before. Living under others' roof. It was so not him.

“Hunter and Wendy have come out. Patriarch Gale, should we go greet him?”

Milo blinked at Patriarch Gale.

Back in the hall, Patriarch Gale had ignored Hunter completely.

The mere sight of Emily had lit him up.

He didn’t even want to look at Hunter.

Patriarch Gale finally remembered that he had seen Hunter in the hall just now.

“Hunter said that he came to visit you specifically.” Milo reminded him.

Patriarch Gale patted his head and said, “I was rude.”

He held Emily’s hand and walked towards the main room.

“Let’s go to talk to Hunter. I was a bit rude just now.”

Emily wanted to laugh. It took a long time for Patriarch Gale to remember that he had been rude to Hunter.

Before they entered the main hall, they saw a few people coming out.

Hunter who was leading sent out a noble and lofty aura. He looked dazzling against the sunlight.

Wherever he went, he stood out.

The first person that comes into one's vision would definitely be him.

However, Emily's steps forward paused because of the woman beside him.

That woman was holding Hunter’s arm and laughing charmingly.

It was Wendy. Who else would it be?
