Stay Around You Now And Forever

Chapter 384: I’m Tired

Emily walked into the WongRiver Pavilion with heavy steps.

Then she slowly walked towards the hall.

When she entered, she suddenly felt a cold gaze from the sofa.

Her heart trembled, and she clenched her fist.

Emily thought that Hunter would also come back very late tonight. However, it was only nine o’clock in the evening and he was already sitting on the sofa in the hall.

There was no laptop on the table, only a cup of hot tea.

His phone was put on the desk, so he didn’t seem to be looking at it just now.

However, there were a few cigarette butts in the ashtray on the table.

How long had he been sitting here?

“Hunter.” Emily took a deep breath and tried to keep calm as she walked towards him.

“Hang out with friends?” Hunter smelled of alcohol. It wasn’t very heavy, but it had a very mellow feeling.

He drank again.

Recently, he seemed to have a lot of social dinners. And he came back several times with the smell of alcohol.

It had only been less than three months since he took over the Jackson Group. Now it should be the busiest time.

“Yes, I went out for dinner with my friends.”

Emily walked to the sofa and stood there.

The conversation stopped, and the hall went quiet.

Emily did not know what he was thinking about.

Hunter was drinking tea quietly.

After standing for a long time, Emily said in a low voice, “Hunter, I’ll go back to my room…”

“Who sent you back?” He suddenly asked.

Emily clenched her fist. She wanted to fine an excuse and tell him that she had taken a taxi back.

However, she opened her mouth to speak and then closed it.

The result of deceiving Hunter was not something she could take.

Finally, Emily said, “Henry sent me back to the gate.”

Hunter did not say anything. He lit a cigarette and smoked it casually.

His expressionless face was cold and serious as always. Emily couldn’t tell if he was angry or not.

However, even if he was angry, he would not show it on his face.

Therefore, Emily was even more uneasy.

Hunter just smoked for two minutes without saying a word.

There was no expression on his face, but it just freaked Emily out.

After standing for another while, Emily couldn’t hold it any longer. She said indifferently, “I want to go up now.”

“OK.”

Hunter should be angry tonight.

Henry sent her back. No wonder he got so angry with her.

Emily was ready to accept the punishment. After taking a shower, she waited for Hunter in her room.

Hunter entered after half an hour. When he entered, he took his bathrobe and walked into the bathroom. Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

Emily’s heart beat faster as the water fell from the shower.

Ten minutes later, Hunter came out with his wet short hair.

He threw away the towel on his hair and looked at Emily.

Emily clenched her fists, turned around, and lay on the bed.

Usually, if he was unhappy, he would do this to her.

After spending more than a month together, she was accustomed to his methods.

Hunter walked behind her and looked down at the girl lying on the bed.

Emily clutched the sheets. It made her even more uneasy when he remained silent.

She wouldn’t get over tonight easily.

Then suddenly, Hunter slapped her on the butt.

“Ah!” Emily screamed out of shock instead of pain.

“Hunter?” Emily looked back at him with a puzzled expression.

“You like this posture so much?” Emily saw the glimmer of a smile in Hunter’s eyes.

Was he laughing?

Emily couldn’t react.

Ever since they made an agreement and she was forced to stay with him, she hadn’t seen him smile sincerely for more than a month.

Was that faint smile real?

But wasn’t he angry that she was with Henry tonight?

“What? Are you so thirsty to turn yourself up like this?” Hunter stared at her body.

Emily was shocked. She hurriedly sat up and looked up at him.

Her small face flushed with embarrassment as she explained, “I’m not ... I didn’t mean to.”

“You are not? So why are you getting yourself up like that?”

Hunter smiled faintly as he stared at her flushed face.

Emily felt that her face and body were burning.

He had distorted her intentions. She only thought that he…

However, she was lying on the bed just now. And the man was standing behind her, looking at her with a mocking expression…

The more Emily thought about it, the redder her face became.

Just thinking about the scene made her embarrassed and shy.

“I don’t want to have sex tonight. Don’t turn me on.”

Hunter walked to the sofa and sat down, “Pour me a glass of wine.”

“You still want to drink?” After asking that, Emily realized that she had crossed over the line.

Anyway, in the past three months, she got no status around Hunter.

It wasn’t that she accepted the fact. She just understood that there was no point arguing about it.

There was only about a month left. After getting over it, they would be done.

She walked to the wine cabinet. Now she knew how to open the bottle of red wine. She easily removed the wooden cork from the bottle.

She poured a glass of red wine and came to Hunter. She served it to him with both hands and said, “Hunter, your wine.”

“Didn’t you say that drinking isn’t good? I’ll listen to you.”

Hunter gently pushed away her hands, leaned against the sofa, and closed his eyes.

Emily was a little annoyed. Did this guy play her around?

Since he didn’t want to drink, why didn’t he stop her when he saw her open it?

A bottle of red wine was opened. If he didn’t drink it, it wouldn’t taste good tomorrow. What a waste.

This bottle of wine cost at least tens of thousands!

The behavior of rich people could be so frustrating.

Emily put the glass aside and looked at Hunter’s handsome face with closed eyes, not knowing what to do.

It seemed that she hadn’t tried to get along with him like this for a long time.

Every time he came back and entered her room, he would either ask for sex or have sex with her.

Tonight, he said he didn’t want it?

“Hunter, I’ll go back to my room now.” Since he didn’t want it, it meant that she was free to go, didn’t it?

Hunter remained silent. He still closed his eyes and rested, not responding to her at all.

He had a calm breathing and looked as if he had fallen asleep.

Emily didn’t hear his reply. So, she heaved a sigh of relief, turned around, and tiptoed towards the door.

Just as her hand was about to touch the door handle, the man behind her said in a low voice, “Come back.”

Emily’s body trembled. She was so scared that she almost fell to the ground.

Didn’t he say that he didn’t want her tonight?

The “coming back” was like a nightmare, causing her to feel as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.

“You are like those people. You came close to me with a purpose. When I’m asleep, you guys will think of plotting against me.”

His words caused Emily to feel sorry for him.

“I’m not that kind of person.” Emily walked up to him and wanted to explain.

However, Hunter suddenly opened his eyes and stared at her uneasy face. He said, “I’m tired.”
