My Most Precious Wife

Chapter 371 The Cold Wind

After Manson got off work, he heard that Emily had been in the Jackson family.

He had thought it was impossible, but the servant insisted it was true. Emily had indeed returned.

However, he couldn’t find a reason to see her in the WongRiver Pavilion.

He didn’t expect to meet her here when he came to the backyard for a walk.

“The wind is so strong. You will catch a cold with such a thin sweater!”

Manson walked behind her, took off his coat and put it on her.

Emily could feel his body temperature from his coat, which disperse the coldness.

Feeling the warmth, Emily suddenly realized that it was really cold.

She saw the man sitting beside her.

This man had made her suffer a lot for Wendy.

Now, he actually treated her as a friend.

Things in the world were really hard to predict!

“Are you thinking about Grandma again?” Manson stared at her face, which had been stiff due to the

cold wind.

Emily nodded and pulled his coat a bit without saying anything.

“Have you eaten yet?” He thought if she had been sitting here all day.

When he saw her, she was totally lost in her thought.

And there were a few withered leaves on her hair.

Emily shook her head and looked up, only to find that all the street lights in the backyard were on.

She didn’t expect that she had sit there for the entire afternoon, but she didn’t notice it at all!

“There’s something above your head.” Manson took the withered leaves away from her hair.

They sat closely. It was as if they were hugging each other from afar.

Emily felt that their current state seemed too intimate.

She said, “Look, I have to go now.”

Manson had changed a lot. He was completely different now.

Indeed, he was no longer annoying as he used to be.

In fact, he now was kind of like a gentleman.

However, he was still a man from the Jackson family. Emily did not want to have any contacts with Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

them.

She stood up, but her legs were numb.

Before she could stand steadily, she fell down.

She fell into Manson’s arms.

Manson’s hands held her shoulders. He knew that he should help her stand up, but he was still a little

reluctant to let her go.

“Sorry!” Emily supported herself with her hands on his shoulders. She wanted to stand up, but she

couldn’t.

Her legs were really numb. After sitting here for the entire afternoon, she felt her legs were numb and

sore!

After stretching her legs for a while, Emily was about to retreat away from Manson.

Before she could take a step backward, she suddenly a cold gaze staring at her.

Looking sideways, she saw a figure stood under a tree not far away.

His back was against the light and she couldn’t see his face clearly.

However, his gaze was extremely cold, as if it could freeze everything.

Manson took two steps back after he helped Emily get up and stand steadily.

He was reluctant to part with her, but if he continued, he would only harm her.

“Hunter.”

Hunter did not say a word, and deep in his eyes was a cold and solemn looking that was even more

cold that the wind of winter.

“I’ll explain it to him.” Manson turned around.

However, Emily said indifferently, “It will be the greatest help to me if you can leave now.”

Manson felt a little resentful.

She was no longer Hunter’s fiancé, but why did she still stay with him?

He clenched his hands tightly, but he was afraid that his chasing would make things difficult for her.

In the end, he could only have a deep look at her and left.

“If you need any help, feel free to come to me.”

Emily ignored him.

She didn’t want to see any men from the Jackson family.

When her legs became less numb, she walked towards Hunter.

“Hunter …”

His deep eyes were filled with coldness, just like the wind tonight.

When her gaze was fixed on her, she would shiver.

Hunter did not say anything and just stared her.

He was really different from what he used to be.

Even if he did say anything and just stared at her indifferently, she would feel that she was totally

wrong.

She had the urge to apologize to him!

It wasn’t because she felt that she really did something wrong, but because he was domineering.

He was strong enough to make people obey him in any conditions.

No one knew what he was thinking, not even Liam, who had always been by his side.

Nobody could see his emotions on his face.

It was stressful so that she couldn’t take a breath.

As the cold wind blew over, Emily subconsciously shrank back.

She sat in the wind for too long and hadn’t had dinner yet.

It was as if there was no energy left on his body now.

Hunter stared at the coat on her.

Emily remembered that she was still wearing Manson’s clothes.

She took off the coat without any hesitation.

She shivered in the cold wind and turned around to return the coat to Manson.

When she looked at Hunter again, he had already walked towards the WongRiver Pavilion.

Emily ran after him at once.

Liam hurried to drive the sightseeing bus over, and Hunter took the lead in getting in the bus.

Emily pulled at the railing with her ice-cold hands and got in.

It was midwinter, and the temperature was only around ten degrees after nightfall.

She came out in a thin sweater at noon. The sweater did not block the wind. When the sightseeing bus

drove, it was so cold that she kept sneezing.

Hunter leaned against his chair and was taking a rest, with his eyes closed. He didn’t care about her at

all.

Emily did not expect him to care about her, either.

She sat on the other side of, trying to keep her sneezing low so as not to disturb him.

As soon as they returned to the WongRiver Pavilion, Liam had the butler prepare dinner.

As soon as Hunter sat down, Emily sat down, picked up her bowl, and wolfed down the food.

It wasn’t because she was hungry, but cold!

After having a bowl of warm soup, she felt warm.

Now, she had the strength to speak.

“I found a dried silk of water plants by the lake in the backyard.”

“They are very tough and can be easily broken. If there are a lot of them, they can pull a heavy thing.”

“They are transparent in the sunlight when they’re alive. Most people won’t be able to discover them if

they don’t pay attention.”

It was also because of the nature of the water plants that she was unable to discover it back then!

Hunter picked up his chopsticks and ate quietly.

Liam, who was sitting at the other side, wanted to ask something, but since Young Master Hunter did

not speak, he shouldn’t ask.

Emily was never someone who would give up easily.

She still looked at Hunter with a determined expression.

“Hunter, what happened to the matriarch is definitely not an accident!”

“I believe that someone used this kind of water plants to wrap around her wheelchair, so that she was

pulled into the bottom of the lake!”

Hunter’s expression did not change at all, as if what she said was insignificant to him.

Emily put down the bowl and clenches her hands tightly, “Hunter, as long as you dig that lake again, I

believe that you will definitely discover the secrets hidden at the bottom of the lake!”
