Stay Around You Now And Forever

Chapter 36: Why, Was It a Feeling of Abandonment?

Liam stood outside the door, as soon as he saw Emily coming out of the room, he rushed over.

"Missus, this... no matter what, today is your engagement, I hope that Missus can... pick up your spirits....

He hesitated. The agreement was drafted by him and he knew the details very clearly.

For a girl to be informed during the day of her engagement, that her fiance and she will be acting for the parents to see, which also meant that there would not be any passion between them, was a huge shock.

He was slightly worried that Missus would be unable to handle this blow.

Emily blinked at him, “I'm feeling great, why?"

"Missus...' Liam analyzed her expression, the sparkling eyes, smile and... she indeed wasn't acting.

"You...

"Liam, when did you become so wishy-washy? Just say what you want!"

lts seven now and in an hour the engagement banquet will begin.

She was only being engaged, not married. The formalities won't be as many.

Later after the entrance, the Jackson Family Patriarch and banquet host will announce and thereafter Hunter and she will exchange the rings.

She had another hour to eat the delicacies downstairs!

Liam was stammering but in reality, he just wanted to say a few words to console her.

But, how was it that Missus didn't seem to need his consolation?

"Forget it, send me a message if there's anything important." Emily decided not to wait, turned and left.

She looked at the time on the phone, five past seven, the day will be over soon. As long as this day passed, Sally's tragedy will be prevented.

And now, it's slightly more than four hours till midnight. If she doesn't leave the school, everything will be fine. Half an hour ago, Sally sent her a message telling her that she was eating some noodles in the dorm.

After this, she Ïl give her a nice treat as compensation.

Emily walked with a bounce into the lift and Liam felt increasingly surprised.

He walked to the waiting room and saw Master Jackson still seated at the desk, smokindg.

The agreement was clearly signed by Missus but how was it that Missus was happy and Master Jackson, who achieved his objective, was upset?

"Master Jackson." Liam walked in and kept the agreement.

Since the agreement was signed, that meant that Master Jackson wouldnt have to be entangled with Missus. Isn't this a good thing?

"Missus, she...' Liam paused before continuing, "seems like she isn't upset, Master Jackson, I think in future she won't disturb you anymore."

"Do you mean that my attractiveness has reversed to this extent? She was not interested in me at all?"

Hunter looked sullen, Liam felt a chill going down his spine.

This this this... what's the meaning? Why does Master .Jackson behave like he had been abandoned?

Liam shook his head, suspecting that he saw wrongly.

He looked again and Master .Jackson already opened the laptop. The unhappiness a moment ago seemed to disappear.

Should, perhaps, looks like... he really saw wrongly?

Master Jackson always hated women who bother him. Now that missus will no longer trouble him, he should be happy, shoulder he?

He must have seen wrongly.

Liam breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "Master .Jackson..."

"Very funny?" He squinted his eyes.

"“Ah!" Liam froze and numbed up. "No, not funny...'

”This agreement, copy it a hundred times by tomorrow morning.' Hunter closed his laptop, stood up, and repeated, “By hand."

"Master... Master Jackson, why... why?” Liam felt weak in his legs and almost knelt. "The ... ¡s there any problem with the agreement?'

Hunter stared at him coldly. He looked as if he wanted to tear him apart

Liam started to retreat, 'I ll do it, ¡tIl be done by tomorrow"

He should just do as he was told. Why did he bother to ask? Was he tired of living?2

It must be his handwriting was too ugly and Master .Jackson was unhappy.

But, the agreement was printed... Handwriting a hundred copies... what happened?

Hunter was frustrated. He walked to the window and looked at the night scenery, he lit another cigarette.

That silly girl was so happy to sign the agreement! She was not to disturb him. Why was there not a hint of disappointment? Was she maintaining a front?

The worst part was he couldnt detect that her smile was fake. She was actually very happy!

Was it because of the ten percent shares in Fairskin Chain, or because he said that after the engagement each can live as they wished, not affecting the other?

He was most frustrated with himself! He obtained what he wanted but yet had a feeling of abandonment.

He was ditched... it was truly inexplicable!

Emily had a small plate of cakes and had yet to find a place to sit down when a commotion broke out at the hotel entrance.

The men started to look towards the entrance and as soon as the woman entered, at least half of the men's eyes lit up.

Wendy was here.

She knows how pretty her sister was, otherwise she wouldn't be known as the first socialite in Bentson City.

But, what does this have to do with her?

Emily took her plate of cakes, sat at a corner and began to eat.

"Compared to your sister, you are like the mud on the floor.' A voice said beside her.

Emily lifted her head and saw Manson.

She wasn't angry but laughed and asked, "Master Manson, has your stomach recovered?" Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

Stomachs injury!

"Youl" Mansoris expression turned, and almost erupted!

This was the humiliation of a lifetime for him. Hunter actually punched him in front of so many people.

His breathing became deeper and his fists tightened up. He wished that he could break all the teeth in this woman's mouth.

But he knew that this girl was ugly beyond humans. But when he saw her, he can't help but come over.

He doesn't know which part of his brain was malfunctioning. Why was he mesmerized by her?

But each time he sees her face he would wake up.

"Hey ugly, don't think that you will have an easy time in the Jackson family. I won't let you live in peace!" He threatened.

Emily blinked her large and innocent eyes, "lts strange!"

"What's strange?" Damn bitch, what's so good about a pair of eyes

No! This face was so ugly that a person will lose his appetite!

Manson forces himself to his senses.

Emily laughed, "!m engaging Master .Jackson and not you. So what's it got to do with you whether [ live in peace or not?”

She laughed naively and looked a little foolish, but the look in her eyes seemed so wise.

Before Manson could say anything, Emily laughed, "Isn't it strange that you said that you not let me live in peace? Unless you still want to replace your brother and engage with me?”
