Stay Around You Now And Forever

Chapter 93: They Have Gone to the Hotel

He felt that the force that was weighing her down was suddenly removed.

Emily opened her eyes and turned around. Her gaze fell upon Hunter who was standing by the bed. He was staring at her coldly. His eyes were tinged with extreme coldness and anger as well as some... disgust.

He hated her! He was looking at her as if he was looking at a hideous object.

Emily felt her heart tightened rapidly but she still managed to wrap herself in a blanket before backing off to a corner of the bed.

Hunter's gaze was as cold as ever, and that iciness was intensifying by the seconds.

Emily wasn't putting an act at all. Her tears were genuine. She was no longer that girl who would grab every opportunity to stick herself to him and look at him with bright watery eyes.

There was only endless caution written deep within her eyes at this moment!

For the past few days, she had been playing games and putting on a fagade. She was never true to herself when she was with him.

But yesterday when she was with Terry, she could finally be herself again. Her actions and responses were all real and unrestrained!

As Hunter made his advances towards her, Emily shrunk back further into the corners of the bed. He stopped his

advancement while looming over her. He looked mighty and arrogant!

“Do you really think that I'm going to do something to your body?” He seemed to force these words out of his mouth, which sounded aloof and heart-wrenching.

Emily just stared at him in response while biting her lips silently.

“I just want to remind you that as long as the deal stands, you will always belong to me. I can lead you to greater heights as

well as plunge you into the depths of hell!” He was getting increasingly frustrated especially when his gaze fell upon her eyes which were moist with tears.

He wasn't even sure what he was trying to say at the moment. He only knew that he had a pent-up urge to kill someone right now!

“You should be obedient since you're together with me now. Or else, I will make life miserable for not only you, but also for those people you care about!” After finishing his sentence, he turned around to leave as he couldn't bear looking at her teary eyes anymore.

She had cried because he was on top of her a moment ago. Was that such a difficult thing to accept for her?

If she was together with Terry today, would she give herself in voluntarily instead?

Hunter was feeling restless as if he was being stabbed by someone with a knife. He didn't want to overthink because he didn't want to find out the reason of his distress.

With a loud bang, he slammed the door hard behind him.

Emily swiftly jumped off the bed and sped towards the door to lock it from the inside. Hunter who hadn't put much distance between himself and that room heard this sound and all traces of his sympathy was lost from this moment on. He couldn't believe that she was really cautious of him!

When the sound of footsteps faded, Emily could finally relax from her nervousness. With her back against the door, she slid down and sat on the ground helplessly.

She lifted her hand to rub her eyes. When she saw residue of her tears on the back of her hand, she only realized that she had really cried just now.

She finally understood the disgust in Hunter’s gaze just now. He hated woman who liked crying the most!

His coldness and indifference just now had completely destroyed every last bit of her longing and imagination about him.

Since the beginning, she was nothing more than a chess piece in his so-called game. She was only by Hunter's side because his grandmother, Matriarch Jackson, had taken a fancy to her. If it was not because he had wanted to reassure Matriarch Jackson, why would he bring someone ugly like her back to his house as well as extending a helping hand every single time?

Had she turned herself into a fool or was she this foolish since she was born?

She knew fully well his purpose in doing all of these, yet she had lost herself time and again in his world.

Emily, you're really stupid beyond salvation!

Was she sad? In fact, she should have gotten used to his indifference in her previous life. What was there to be sad about in her current life? She was perhaps disappointed in herself as she thought she would not fall for his traps again when things had started over.

But in actuality, she still wouldn't be able to resist Hunter's charisma even if she had two chances to live her life.

Now, this was the perfect wake-up call for her.

She clutched her blanket while helping herself to her feet. Then, he slowly turned the knob without making any sound. The corridor out there was deserted at the moment. There was not a person in

sight. She wrapped the blanket around herself firmly and grabbed this chance to flee from this room back to her bedroom.

“Master, the miss has returned to school.” Liam immediately reported what he had found out to Hunter after ending the call.

The man who was sitting in the backseat had no expression on his face. His gaze was focused on the laptop screen in front of him and he looked like he had no interest to answer Liam's statement.

Liam secretly stole a glance at him through the rear-view mirror while he was steering the steering wheel. He definitely couldn't decipher anything from his master's aloof expression.

At the very least, his master should still be concerned about the miss’ whereabouts.

“Master, Terry, who is miss’ friend, has returned to school as well. He seems unaffected by the slash he has received earlier.”

This guy was one of the most strong-willed and bold guy among people who was his age according to his observation.

Liam couldn't help praising him, “That guy named Terry is definitely a talented person! Although he is still young, if he is given some guidance, he will be someone to be reckoned with, do you agree with me, master...”

“Are you done spouting nonsense?” Hunter replied him coldly and abruptly, and this was effective in stopping Liam from complimenting Terry any more than he already did.

His hand trembled slightly as he nearly lost control of the steering wheel!

Why did his master sounded like he was very hostile towards Terry?

Didn't he cooperate with Terry well last night as if they were a match made in heaven?

Judging from his master's past behavior, he would definitely want to take Terry under his wing as he was appreciative of

talents whenever he laid eyes on one.

But at this moment, there was more envy than appreciation based on his current attitude.

Wait, that's not really true either. The master was always on his throne. Few would be able to compare to him in all of Bentson City.

How could he be envious of others?

A call suddenly came in, so Liam quickly connected the Bluetooth speaker. He wasn't very sure what the other person was

saying, but he tried to reply, “Alright...

We're fine... miss? Well...”

After hanging up his phone, he continued driving as if nothing had happened. He didn't report anything this time around!

Hunter's fingers were slightly tensed as they hovered above the keyboard. Although he was still focusing on the laptop screen, his attention was diverted slightly.

Ten seconds had elapsed, and Liam seemed like he had no plans to disclose the content of that call. Thirty seconds elapsed now, and he was still staying mute. A minute had passed by but he still didn't have any intention to speak about it!

He knew that call was somewhat related to that gil. Why didn't Liam report this to him as he knew that it had something to do with the miss?

Hunter would not admit that there's anticipation in his heart, but as his assistant, Liam should have reported to him about anything. A few minutes had passed by... and this damn bastard looked like he had ne plans to speak up!

But at the six minute mark, Liam finally opened his mouth. He shrunk his neck while whispering, “Ma- master, don't you think that... the air-conditioning in this car... is a tad cold?”

It was really cold inside the car! He was confused about the reason behind this decline in temperature, since it was fine just moments ago. Right after he had answered that call, he could feel the temperature in the car decrease rapidly. He had endured for a whole six minutes, and the chill had caused his teeth to shatter even! Hunter had been boring a hole in his back as if he was going to terminate him!

But on the surface, Hunter was unfazed as he slowly asked, “Do you have anything to tell me?”

“Something to tell you?” Liam recalled Hunter's remark about him spouting nonsense just now as he inadvertently straightened his back in fear. He could feel cold sweat beading up on his skin. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

“I, I don't have anything to tell you right now?" After that, he immediately clammed up, not daring to even squeeze another word anymore.

Despite that, it was still chilly inside the car although he had adjusted the air-conditioning. He even thought that it was getting colder by the minute.

In the backseat, Hunter suddenly shut down his laptop with a loud slapping sound. It was an intimidating sound and this had successfully jogged Liarn’s mind. He finally remembered what he wanted to say as his heart contracted.

“Master, I have received news that.. the miss and Terry has... gone to the hotel.”
