Stay Around You Now And Forever

Chapter 460: Do You Want to Run Again

"Miss Emily, Master Hunter really meant no harm. This is a misunderstanding."

How could Liam bear to see Master Hunter being misunderstood and wronged?

He hurried over and said, "We saw human traffickers. It was Master Hunter who rescued Miss Basia from those men."

"'Do you expect me to believe it?" Emily wouldn't believe a word he was saying.

"Miss Emily..."

"Stop it!" Emily looked at him coldly. "Liam, you have been very kind to me in the past. I am grateful to you, but please stop being such a bully for your Master Hunter. You would also have family in the future."

In broad daylight, they did abduct other people's daughter!

They didn’t know how anxious and desperate she was when she found out that Basia was really gone.

They had never been the parents of a child, and they had never experienced such a terrible feeling!

"Miss Emily, it's really not us..."

"Mr. White, they've caught that woman!" In the distance, the two men hurried up, out of breath.

"Mr. White, Master Hunter, we have... got that woman!"

Liam’s eyes lit up and he looked at Emily. "It is a woman who tried to sell Miss Basia to a trafficker. Now they've caught her. You are Basia’s mother, you should go and see."

The woman trying to sell Basia turned out to be Billie.

Billie was in tears. She didn't know if she was afraid or guilty.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Jackson, Mrs. Jackson. I'm really sorry. I can't help it. My mother is dying, I'm sorry! I really need the money..."

Emily had no sympathy for her.

Everyone would be short of money, everyone had their own untold pain and helplessness, but this was not an excuse for her to do bad things!

Billie was taken away by the police, and Emily and Terry took statements.

And Hunter, because he saved Basia, he had to go to the police station as well.

It was after four o 'clock in the afternoon when they came out of the police station.

Basia's stomach started crying again.

As soon as she was hungry, she would reach out to Hunter. "Daddy, eat, eat..."

Kids were easy to hungry. It was less than five hours and she started to be hungry again.

Emily immediately grabbed her back. "Mommy would take you to eat."

She looked at Terry and wanted to remind him that it was time to pick up Chester.

But Hunter and Liam were here, and she didn't want to talk about Chester.

Chester was more like Hunter than Basia, especially his characters, which was a miniature version of Hunter. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

If Hunter met Chester, she didn’t know what was going to happen.

She couldn't afford to risk losing two children, not even a little bit.

"Basia, Daddy and Mommy will take you home to eat."

Terry went to get the car at once.

Emily tried to follow him, but Hunter's voice was heard behind, "Basia was saved by me."

Emily stumbled, hesitated for a long time, then finally turned around and looked at him. "I am sorry, I misunderstood you, and thank you for saving Basia, but..."

There was no expression in her face.

It had been two years and everything had passed. She should not let those feelings linger in her heart.

"But please don't bother us again, thank you!" she said with a deadpan look.

Terry pulled the car over and Emily took Basia in her arms and climbed onto it as fast as she could.

Basia leaned over the door just before the window was closed, looked at Hunter and mouthed, "Daddy..."

"He's not your father!"

Then the window was closed.

Hunter remained where he was, quietly watching them leave.

"Master Hunter..." Liam didn't know what he was thinking.

However, they had been looking for Emily for two years. Were they really not going to catch up with her at this time?

But Emily was with Terry and had a baby girl...

Liam was also very upset. How could Mrs. Jackson be dating another man? What about Master Hunter?

It took Hunter a long time to say, "Get their address."

Liam immediately cheered up and said, "Yes!"

Hunter's eyes narrowed as he looked in the direction of the car.

Leave them alone? Was that possible?

He had been looking for her for two years, two whole years! It took him such a great effort to find her. How could he let her go so easily?

So what if she was not his daughter? The little girl called him daddy, so he would be her father in the future!

He wanted not only a wife but also a daughter!

Emily had been absent-minded all day.

Basia was bathing her in the evening when Basia suddenly called out, "Daddy??"

But dad was obviously outside the bathroom and was preparing clothes for her.

Chester was also in the room, reading a book.

When he heard Basia, he was happy to answer her question, "Daddy's getting the clothes."

Basia suddenly broke free from Emily and started to run out.

Chester immediately took a bath towel and wrapped it around her.

She was only one year old. Even Emily wasn't that nervous about her body being seen, after all, she was still young.

Chester was different. Chester was not happy that Basia was running around naked.

"She can’t be seen!" Chester was angry.

But Basia didn't understand. She looked around the room asked. "Daddy?"

She asked seriously, and it was her earnestness that got Terry so upset.

Basia wanted her father, not him.

"Basia, Dad's here." Emily didn't look very good either.

She turned serious to Basia. "You only have this dad, you know?"

"Daddy, daddy." Basia continued

Daddy?

This girl had never called Terry like that before.

Terry and Emily looked at each other and suddenly felt a pang of sadness.

Basia's daddy had changed.

What was on the little girl mind? A man she knew only one day was more important than the man she lived with for a year.

A feeling of powerlessness welled up in Emily.

Basia was just over a year old. What did she know that?

She would show all her emotions. She didn't care if people were happy or not, because she didn't understand.

Emily took her back to the bathroom, took a shower and dressed her up, and then put her to sleep.

Probably because she was outside during the day, she felt a little tired and fell asleep soon after she lay down.

"Chester, Basia was scared today. Take care of her tonight."

Emily told him walked out of the room.

Chester pulled Basia's quilt, nodded, turned on the bedside light, and went on reading.

They were of the same age, but of totally different IQ...

Emily rubbed her eyes and came out of the room.

As soon as she closed the door, she looked up and saw Terry sitting on the sofa, looking at her.

"Shall we have a talk?" Terry brought a hot cup of tea and went out on the balcony.

The winter wind was a little chilly, so Emily came out behind him and rubbed her hands.

As Terry shoved the cup into her hand, Emily felt her palms warm.

Terry was always so careful.

Terry hugged her gently and looked at the night sky above her.

His voice was as soft as ever. "You want to run again, don't you?"
