Stay Around You Now And Forever

Emily was taken aback. Had she heard it wrong?

She was muddled and could only muster a stiff smile. "Well, Terry, I'm a mother of two."

She did not have the qualification to fall in love, or even get married.

Terry stared at her, disapproving. "So what?"

So what? She had two children.

And he, a single man, lived here, got a good job, and was now the minister of a large security group, and had a very bright future.

With his good condition, of course, he should find a young and beautiful single woman.

And she, infamous, had been raised by men.

In this life, Emily didn’t plan to find another man at all. She could live a good life with two children by herself.

"Terry, I don't know what you're feeling tonight, but I'm really not for you."

She struggled and wanted to take her hand back.

But Terry tightened his grip and refused to let her back down.

"Why not? Haven't we gotten along enough these last two years? Did I do something wrong that made you unhappy?"

Terry was a little nervous. No, he’d been nervous ever since he heard Joe's words and decided to confess to her.

"Emily, tell me what you don't like about me, and I'll change it. I'll change it right away. I really can change it."

"No, Terry, you are good? You are always good."

He was perfect as a friend and as a "dad" to her two children.

But she couldn’t tell why she didn’t like him.

"Do you understand? I have children."

"I said I don’t mind." The one who didn’t understand was her!
