Chapter 201-205

Chapter 201 There Must Be a Conspiracy

His laughter was hearty, bold and reckless, yet listenable and mesmerizing. Emily looked at the man who was running beside her and was completely bedazzled. She had never seen this side of Hunter which he was so carefree like a child. He was laughing out loud when he was running! And she suddenly noticed she had never seen him running before.

This elegant man who was always displaying a cautious and aloof appearance was now holding her hand, running recklessly along the path of the campus. Those couples in the forest were scrambling to their feet due to fright. As the saying went “a good conscience is a soft pillow” and there was no need to be scared if one was innocent, therefore it was obvious they were doing something shady.

Not knowing how long had passed, Hunter finally stopped and he walked silently along the path. Emily puffed and she noticed he was still holding her hand when she lowered her head. Her face flushed and she jerked her hand back from his grip, keeping a distance away from him. Hunter let her be. He shoved his hands into his jeans pockets and strolled down the lane.

“Mr. Jackson. Is there anything I can do for you?” Emily started to regret the moment she asked that. He did not necessarily look for her today as he was still with Wendy this afternoon. And it was possible he was coming with Wendy today too. Even if he did come for her, she seemed to have ended their conversation with that question.

As expected, Hunter refused to answer that kind of question as usual, yet he looked more apathetic at once. They walked in tandem and Emily peered at the two shadows stretched by the sunset on the ground. One shadow was big and long, the other was small and short, looking harmonious against each other. Yet the truth was, their aura did not get along. At last, she stared at his back and spoke. “I still have something to do for our club later, therefore I have to—”

“You always refuse to wait for me.” Emily was startled by his words and she actually could not response for a moment. Eventually, he left after picking up a call. Just like how he showed up in the first place, his arrival was abrupt, and his leaving was baffling.
