Slumdog Billionaire Husband novel Chapter 302

Chapter 302 Return

Milford’s arrival was just an episode. Valery entered the banquet hall, and Gerald didn’t follow her. It was indeed a bit noisy inside, so he wanted to stay outside for a while longer.

He had some expectations in his heart as Claude, Theo, and the others were coming.

The five people in Team 11762 who were still alive would be all present. If Valery was included, there would be six!

An elite team should be formed by 12 people in total.

Before the start of the war, Gerald planned to gather 12 members.

Because of Gerald, Carolyn, and the others, the team they were in could only be an elite team.

Now, Erik could barely keep up with them, and Jacob played a more and more important role.

Gerald knew Jacob well. Jacob was quick–witted, and Zackary said that he would train Jacob to be an adviser. If so, Jacob’s combat strength would not be the most important thing.

Whether Zackary’s plan could work depended on Jacob’s advancement.

Audrey and Hazel were a little falling behind, so Gerald sent them to the Night Watch. Hazel was strong enough, and Audrey took the initiative to join.

If the war started, Gerald would not allow two girls to fight on the battlefield.

Just as Gerald was thinking, someone poked him with a finger.

Gerald turned around and saw Leila standing behind him with a red face.

Her hair was still tied up in a ponytail, and she seemed to have drunk some wine.

Leila had never paid attention to her hairstyle or been to a hairstylist.

Her hair was usually long. In the town, there were vendors who specialized in collecting hair, which could be used as a wig. Leila would sell her hair to them for a bit of money to support her family.

“Gerald, can I sit next to you?” Although she had eased her guard against Gerald, Leila was still a little shy and self–abased.

During the past few days, Gerald found that Leila always lowered her head.

She was beautiful, yet she didn’t like others‘ attention to her. This was a typical performance for a self–abased person.

“Of course. Don’t be so reserved,” Gerald said with a frown.

The school he arranged for Leila would be an outstanding one, where there would be many students

from rich families. Leila might feel even more inferior there and even dare not talk to others. Gerald planned to find a way to cultivate her self–confidence.

He thought, what a beautiful girl she is! But why is she feeling inferior?

Leila sat next to Gerald, and her face was still red. After a while, she pursed her lips and said, “Gerald, the Night Watch you mentioned before…”

“How is it? They are handsome, right?” Gerald smiled, “I used to be much more handsome than them. With the two sabers on my back, I was known as the most handsome guy in the Night Watch.”

Anyway, bragging was free, so Gerald didn’t restrain himself.

Leila was amused by Gerald. She shook her head and said, “I don’t believe it. I saw several people

with better figures that day.”

“They are all sissy. Maybe they have a better figure than me, but they lack a bit of masculinity,”

Gerald said without blushing.

Hearing Gerald’s words, Leila giggled. Suddenly, she said, “I want to join the Night Watch after I graduate.”

After that, she tilted her head and looked at Gerald with yearning in her eyes.

Gerald was stunned.

Leila might not even know what the Night Watch was doing, but she actually wanted to join it. It was probably because she was shocked to see a large group of people wearing black uniforms and carrying double sabers on their backs that day.

Gerald rubbed Leila’s head and said, “It’s better to study properly first! We can talk about it later!”

“OK!” A hint of disappointment appeared on Leila’s face.

Gerald began to brag again. Leila’s disappointed looked disappeared in an instant and turned into a
