Stay Around You Now And Forever

Chapter 51 Who doesn't know how to act?

Emily called .Joe as soon as she woke up.

“Sally's alright, she's awake and having some porridge. The doctor said that she can go home once she calms down. She is really fine, don worry."

Joe sounded concerned, “Emily, how's the situation between you and Master Jackson? Is he making things difficult for you?”

“No, he slept as soon as he came back... No, that I meant was I slept by myself when I came back.”

Emily sighed, why did it seem that she kept digging a hole for herself?

“Of course you slept alone, do you still expect Master Jackson to sleep with you? Who doesn't know that it's a contractual arrangement between you two?”

Joe was laughing and wasn't afraid of offending her.

Damm it! Was she that awful?

Emily wished that she could give him a flying kick! But when she thought of it, it would be a miracle if the high and mighty Master dJackson would take notice of her with her usual appearance.

Not to mention him desiring to sleep with her.

She was ugly.

She walked into the bathroom and looked at herself in the mirror after the call.

Pink lips with white teeth and a natural face. Isn't she beautiful?

But she was well aware that she ÏÌ soon be ugly.

After she brushed her teeth and washed her face, she started to put on her makeup.

In her previous life, she was harmed for a long time by those women of the .Jackson family after she revealed her natural looks.

Wasrrt she still an ugly girl during this life? Why was she already being framed?

Only people of the Jackson family will be protected by Master Jackson. Who wanted to harm her before she even became part of the family?" Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

“Missus, Master Jackson is waiting for you. Today you need to go back to visit the grandparents."

The servant kept knocking on her door.

Emily finally drew her last freckle and came out of the bathroom, “Coming....

When Emily descended the stairs, Hunter was seated at the table reading the newspapers.

In the ages of social media and the internet, Master Jackson still maintained the habit of reading the newspapers in the morning. She didn't know whether to regard this as his personal style or if he was too old fashioned.

But, though she was unwilling to admit, Emily found him particularly attractive when he read the newspaper attentively.

When she sat opposite him, Emily couldn't help but peek at him several times.

She was elegant and confident, making Alfred feel that she had been living here for some time and became the lady of the household.

But, her demeanor was not rejected by anyone and everyone felt that she naturally fit the role.

They all felt that this young Missus indeed fit the role of the lady of the house.

Alfred instructed the servants to serve the breakfast.

lt was a cụp of coffee, a sandwich, and two fried eggs for Master .Jackson.

Emily had a wider spread, it was about ten different types of snacks and were mainly sweets.

Emily felt like a parasite feeding off Hunter. He was working hard to make money but all she did every day was to eat and play.

Of course, that was her previous life.

This kind of person was insignificant to the world.

That's why she had decided that in this life she will be independent

“Alfred, don prepare so much for me tomorrow. i'm not picky and I don't eat much. A glass of milk with a pastry will be enough.”

Alfred hesitated and looked at Hunter.

Master Jackson's decision was final at that household. Missus wanted such a simple breakfast and they weren't sure if Master Jackson will be pleased if they prepared so little for her.

Though Master Jackson had never concerned himself with these details.

Hunter placed his cuụp of coffee down and looked at him, “In future, she will make the decisions for household matters.”

She decides the household matters!

Any other woman will cry on hearing this.

Emily was apprehensive, the more they spent time together, the more she found that this man was totally different from the heartless man who completely hurt her in her previous life.

Though she knew that she has to distance herself, but she unknowingly drew closer to him.

If this continued, she worry be able to extricate herself.

She became sullen and placed her fork down, stood up, and said, “I've had enough.”

She turned to leave but the man said firmly, “Finish your milk.”

The commanding tone made Emily's rebellious nature rear its head.

”it's too much. I can finish it.” She wasn't a pig, how was she going to finish such a big glass?

“Do you want me to feed it to you?” He placed down his knife and fork and stared at her.

He was basically threatening her.

Emily closed her eyes, turned, and walked away.

She actually turned and walked away!

Alíred was disheartened. Why did they have to quarrel the first thing in the morning?

This Missus was some character, to think that she wasn't afraid of the Master!

He didn't know whether to support her defiance or worry for her uncertain future.

Never had there been anyone in this household who defied Master Jackson, neverl

“Master, Master Jackson, I think... that this glass is really too big. Next time I'll get them to use a smaller one.”

Hunter didn't say anything and maintained his composure.

Well done, this girl! Till now she was still so defiant!

He took up his fork and knife and continued to eat. lt was as if nothing happened.

Liam came in from outside, carrying a bouquet of roses, “Master, the roses you picked had arrived. Itt was flown in this morning...”

“Fuck off!"

The car stopped at the Jackson residences garage. Liam got out of the car and opened the door for two of them.

Today was the first time this pair of newly engaged returned officially to the Jackson family residence.

But at the narrow walkway, there wasn't any affection between them.

Along the way to the main residence, not only was there no contact between them, there wasn't even a word said.

As they were about to reach the main room of the residence, Liam risked his neck and said something before Hunter said to Emily, “Don't forget the terms of the agreement.”

Emily pursed her lips and finally held onto his arm, her slender fingers slapped her own cheeks and started to smile.

They can't let the family find out that their engagement was faked, she definitely remembered.

She certainly was unable to afford the compensation if she was to break the agreement.

it's just for show, who doesrït know how to act?

Her thin lips hooked upwards into a chilling smile and her head leaned into Hunter's arms.

No one could tell that this affectionate appearance was an act. They were just at odds a moment ago.

“Granny." She saw grandma and grandpa seated together in the main hall. Emily quickly released Hunter's hand and walked over to her.

“Granny looks very bright and healthy today. Have you had your breakfast? Have you eaten enough?”

Grandma Jackson laughed joyously and shook her head, “No no, I listened to the doctor and eat everything.ˆ

She looked at Hunter and then back at Emily, she said as she held onto Emily's hands, “Emily, I didn't see you these couple of days, did this rascal bully you?”
