Stay Around You Now And Forever

Chapter 452: Will You Give Him Another Chance

Joe couldn’t hold his tongue.

He had held it for a whole day. When the children were asleep and Terry went to take a bath after, he finally couldn't bear it and pulled Emily out onto the balcony.

But when he pulled her over, Joe still couldn't speak.

"Why hesitate? What do you want to say?" When Emily saw him hesitate to speak, she knew he must have a lot of questions.

"I... I don't know... I mean..."

Joe scratched his head, not knowing where to start.

"Well, you and Terry... When did you get together?"

The time was not at all right!

He didn't believe that Emily would be so easy to change her mind, or that Terry would take advantage of her.

But there were two kids, Chester and Basia... Emily and Terry had only been gone for two years, and their two children were now one and three months old.

Did they really get together as soon as they left?

Wouldn’t it move too fast?

Emily just smiled and didn't answer the question.

The less she said, the more curious he became.

"Did you... before you got here... did you... but it is impossible! Terry's been living with me all this time and hasn't slept outside. You guys don't get that chance..."

"Well, it goes too far." Emily gave him a blank look.

"What is that all about?" Joe actually had a little bold idea in mind, but he was afraid to say it out loud.

"If you're in doubt, why don't you just ask?"

Emily turned and looked out at the sky.

The night was dark, and enshrouded in the darkness, she looked rather peaceful.

It had been two years. Time could dilute everything, so, there was nothing she couldn’t bear.

After taking a bath at night, all the dirt was moved out of Emily's face. After taking off her thick glasses, she was beautiful again.

The moonlight hit her and made her look as holy as a fairy.

Joe did not have the heart to break the sanctity, but his question was too embarrassing.

"Basia is a lot like you." This was true. Basia had inherited almost all of Emily's beauty.

There was another kind of beauty that even Emily didn't have.

When she grew up, Basia would look even more beautiful than her mother, Joe was sure of that.

"And then?" Emily still looked at the night, but the smile on her lips gradually faded away.

"Is there..." Joe stole a look at her, but still didn't say much.

"Is there..."

"If you don't tell me, I'm going to sleep with them." Emily looked at him sideways.

"They're already asleep. They don't need your company."

But then Joe noticed something was amiss, "You're sleeping with them? Then... What about Terry?"

How could they sleep in separate beds at such a young age?

Basia and Chester could sleep in the baby's room by themselves?

"Terry sleeps by himself. Doesn't he need me for a guy as big as he is?" Emily winked at him.

"But he...he is young and full of energy. Could he bear... to sleep separately?"

"Well!" Emily laughed at him.

Joe frowned. "Stop smiling," he said. "I really have a lot of questions."

Joe blurt out, "Chester... Chester... Chester doesn't look like Terry."

Although he knew that some things may hurt her.

But weren’t they friends?

If he didn’t figure it out, he would find it hard to accept!

Emily smiled and stared at him. "So, who does Chester look like?"

"Like..." Joe hesitated for a while, then finally took a deep breath and whispered, "That man."

Emily did not speak, but from her calm eyes, Joe knew he guessed it right.

"He..." He looked over his shoulder, made sure Terry was nowhere to be seen, and dared to lower his voice. "Does he know?" he whispered.

Emily laughed again when it comes to that.

She raised her hand and slapped on his head.

"What’s on your mind? There is nothing between me and Terry!"

"Why not? Your kids call him daddy, and you..."

Joe thought about it, and suddenly he felt pain in his heart, as if he had been grabbed by something.

"Terry... is willing to be like that?"

This stupid Terry! He really liked Emily. However, it had been two years since he stayed with Emily. How could he still be a silent guardian? Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

"I didn't agree with that at first, but Terry said the kids would be bullied outside without a dad."

"Chester is particularly precocious. He goes to school and be the classmate of those kid of three or four years old. He really needs a complete family."

"The children themselves..."

"I don't know." Emily put her index finger to her lips and silenced him. "'Chester has a lot of things figured out now. Don't say it too loud. He would know it if he hears it."

Joe shut up immediately, and he didn't dare to continue the discussion.

Chester was really amazing. He was so young but he was so smart!

"But..." Joe was so different from usual. He was so nervous.

After all, it was as if he had suddenly broken into their family of four.

Would the original quiet home be not calm because of his appearance?

He hesitated for a moment, then said, "That man... has been looking for you, and he didn’t mean to stop until he finds you..."

Emily looked calm, but Joe knew her too well and knew he had changed a lot.

But she still didn’t let go of Hunter and she still cared about him.

"Emily, the Gale Group has gone through the difficulties, and Master Hunter is the one who helps them through it. The misunderstanding between you and him needs to be resolved."

If Emily and Terry were really together, Joe wouldn't say these words.

How much did he hate Hunter?

Hunter found him two years ago and nearly trampled him to death.

He would rather die than talk something good of Hunter in front of Emily.

But Emily and Terry had been together for two years. In fact, Joe knew that Emily really thought Terry as her brother.

If things didn't work out between Hunter and her, she and Terry would continue to live like this.

He looked at Emily, took a deep breath, and then said, "I guess you got even now. If Hunter comes to you... Emily, would you like to give him another chance?"
