Stay Around You Now And Forever novel (Hunter Jackson)

Chapter 448: He Won’t Have a Rough Day if He Doesn’t Care

“Later, I found out that your grandfather lied to your grandmother, saying that I cheated on her. And she was so simple that she actually believed it.”

Dozens of years had passed, and Sawyer now wasn’t a young boy who would be screwed up with his love life.

However, he would still feel bitter when he mentioned Matriarch Jackson.

His voice sank somewhat, as if he had returned to that year.

“I wanted to explain to your grandmother. But when I found her, she was already pregnant.”

“I couldn’t let her bear the pain. She is in poor health. If she knew the truth, she would break down.”

“So I only swallowed it and let her believe I betrayed her. This way, she could feel at ease to stay with your grandfather and give birth to his child.”

That was a different time.

At that time, it wasn’t easy for a married woman to get divorced and marry another man.

If she did that, her reputation would be ruined for the rest of her life.

Therefore, Sawyer decided to bear the pain by himself. A few years later, he also got married and had his own children.

“As time passed, everything seemed to have gone. I didn’t expect a letter from your grandmother one day.”

Sawyer looked at Hunter. He knew that it wasn’t easy for Hunter to accept this at once.

But what he had said was the truth.

“When I received this letter, I was already married. It’s impossible for me to abandon my wife and children, and then leave with your grandmother.”

“So I just kept this letter and didn’t write back. But your grandmother came to see me.”

“As for the picture of your grandmother and me, I don’t know who took it by chance. However, at that time, I was going to send her back, not kidnap her.”

Hunter did not say anything. Sawyer didn’t know whether he believed it or not. Anyway, Hunter seemed to be in a bad mood.

Sawyer was frightened by Hunter’s cold eyes!

Although he had seen all kinds of circumstances and people, he didn’t dare to look straight into Hunter’s eyes.

“Hunter, this is the truth. I feel sorry for your grandmother, but I really didn’t harm her. We separated after I saw her off at the train station.”

“But I didn’t expect that not long later, she would…”

His voice was a bit hoarse and choked with emotions.

Hunter noticed that, but he wasn’t touched.

“You came to me and told me those things just to ask for mercy for the Gale family?” he snorted.

Hunter was stubborn.

It was not easy to change his mind.

Actually, Sawyer now still didn’t know if it was right for him to come to see Hunter.

Would Hunter care about Emily?

However, she was pregnant with his child…

“Hunter, no matter whether you believe it or not, this matter has nothing to do with Emily. If you still have feelings for her, please…”

“I’ll treat your granddaughter the way you treated my grandmother.”

Hunter sneered and sat on the sofa, looking askance at Sawyer.

“No matter whether what you said is true or not, you have hurt my grandmother. If it is true, my grandmother came all the way here to see you, but you treated her so coldly? You hurt her so badly!”

Sawyer didn’t say anything. He had indeed wronged Hunter’s grandmother, but he had no choice back then.

He couldn’t abandon his wife and children. This was the greatest responsibility of a man.

“You can leave now. What you said to me today won’t change my mind.”

Hunter looked at the door and shouted, “Liam.”

Liam immediately pushed in, followed by Milo. Milo walked to Sawyer and said, “Mr. Sawyer…”

“Let’s go home and give him some time to think about it.”

Milo nodded and wheeled him out.

Before they walked out of the door, Hunter coldly said, “I will continue to investigate it. If I find that you have something to do with my grandmother’s death, I won’t let the Gale family off.”

Milo stopped. Sawyer was expressionless, and his voice was calm.

“As you like. I have a clear conscience.”

Milo snorted and wheeled Sawyer out of the door.

Hunter could hear Milo’s complaint coming from outside, “I’ve told you that Hunter is hard-hearted. What’s the use of begging him? Emily won’t like such person.”

With many things on his mind, Sawyer interrupted Milo, “Shut up.”

Then they walked away.

Liam looked at Hunter and didn’t know what was going on. “Mr. Hunter, are you still going out?”

Today, Hunter had a lot of things to do. He had made an appointment to visit several construction sites.

But now, he seemed to have no intention of going out.

As his assistant, Liam had to remind him, “Mr. Hunter, it’s getting late.”

However, Hunter ignored him and just stared at the letter in his hand indifferently.

Liam was a little curious and wanted to see the content of the letter.

Hunter’s face darkened, and he said unhappily, “If you still peep at the letter, I’ll gouge your eyes out!”

Liam hurriedly looked away and said, “I promise that I didn’t see a single word!”

Hunter ignored him.

What Sawyer had said today made Hunter wonder whether his stubbornness was right.

He couldn’t accept it.

But even so, there seemed to be a voice in his heart telling him that this letter was true.

Had grandpa really deceived grandma and then married her?

Perhaps this wasn’t important anymore. The important thing was whether Sawyer really had nothing to do with grandma’s death.

If so, was Hunter wrong to have been firmly convinced that Emily was the granddaughter of his enemy?

Somehow, Hunter felt very irritated.

He stood up and walked to the wine cabinet. He opened a bottle of wine and wanted to pour himself a glass of wine.

But when he picked up the wine bottle, he suddenly didn’t want to use the glass.

He raised his hand and directly drank the bottle of wine!

Liam knew that he was in a bad mood, but Hunter would never share his sorrow with others. So Liam didn’t know how to comfort him.

Besides, Hunter didn’t need any consolation.

He drank the bottle of wine in one gulp.

Then he waved, and then the wine bottle fell to the ground and shattered into pieces.

Liam was uneasy.

However, Hunter suddenly sneered, “Even if I’m wrong, so what? She is just a woman who has betrayed me.”

He was thinking about Emily again. If he could really be heartless, he wouldn’t be so bitter these days.

Just as Liam wanted to say something, there was a knock at the door.

He walked over and opened the door.

“Mr. Vincent,” Liam said in surprise when he saw the person beside Vincent, “Mr. Henry?”
