Chapter 31 Why Is Gerald Always Around?
After Hazel closed the Internet café, she went down and unlocked a car parked aside. The car lights flashed. Hazel said, “Get in the car. In order to thank you, I will take you to a fancy restaurant to have a delicious meal!”
Gerald’s eyes lit up, and some expectations rose in his heart.
The car started moving forward. Somehow, Gerald found that the surrounding buildings were somewhat familiar. He examined closer and found that the area was actually near Cherry Garden.
Of course, in Los Angeles, other than having breakfast outside, Gerald almost never went to a restaurant for the rest
of the time.
Usually, Irene and her mother wouldn’t bring Gerald along when they went out to eat. They felt embarrassed.
It was only on Thanksgiving when the family ate together, he would go to eat with them.
Therefore, Gerald really didn’t know what delicious food was near the Cherry Garden.
Unknowingly, the car arrived at the gate of Cherry Garden. Hazel stopped the car.
Gerald said in surprise, “The food you mentioned is at the gate of this community?”
“No, I gotta deal with something first,” Hazel said.
Gerald looked towards the entrance of the Cherry Garden. There were already some people gathered there.
A luxurious car was parked at the entrance, and a beautiful woman was standing in front of the car. She tried her best to keep a person from getting into the car. Hazel’s car couldn’t get through it while they blocked the way.
“Adriel?” Hazel said with a frown.
Gerald naturally recognized that the person was Adriel, and the person who was dragging him was Irene.
Irene looked a bit bedraggled right now. Her hair was a bit disheveled, and tears flowed down her face.
“This playboy probably provoked another woman!” Hazel said with a frown.
Gerald looked at all of this without the slightest fluctuation of emotion in his heart. Hazel rolled down the window,
and the voice from outside followed.
“Adriel, you can’t do this. You can’t abandon me!” outside, Irene cried. “It was you who took the initiative to chase me. In order to be with you, I have already divorced Gerald. I have nothing now. You really can’t abandon me.”
Hearing this, Hazel was stunned. She looked at Gerald and said, “She just said Gerald, right?”
Gerald did not think there was anything to deny. He nodded, “Yes, that woman is my ex. We got divorced a few days ago.”
Hazel was surprised. She subconsciously looked at Gerald.
Gerald was speechless. Then he said, “Stop. My ex cheated on me, alright? But it was also an accident that I married her. Something happened before. During three years of marriage, I didn’t even touch her hand…”
“Shut up.” Hazel obviously did not believe what Gerald had said.
Gerald didn’t explain anything to her and continued to look outside!
“I was the one who took the initiative to chase after you. Didn’t you start off being aloof and indifferent toward me? Didn’t you know how active you were after I drove my sports car to look for you that day?” Adriel said as he struggled
free. “We have already broken up. Don’t pester me anymore, alright? I already said that my family doesn’t approve of
this.”
“No, you can’t dump me,” Irene cried, holding Adriel’s arm tightly.
Adriel gritted his teeth and said, “You and I were together for money. I’ve given you quite a few bags during this period of time. With the things I gave your mother, it should be at least 16 thousand dollars. That’s enough!”
Seeing that more and more people were gathering around him, Adriel couldn’t keep his face up any longer and forcefully pushed Irene. Irene’s footsteps became unsteady, and she fell to the ground.
Hazel frowned when she saw this scene and said, “Adriel is really an animal. He probably just wanted to have sex with
her!”
As Hazel spoke, she looked at Gerald and said, “Aren’t you going to take care of it?”
Gerald shook his head and said, “It has nothing to do with me anymore. This marriage is a mistake, not to mention
that we’re already divorced.”
After pushing her to the ground, Adriel tidied up his clothes and roared at the bystanders, “What are you looking at? What are you looking at? Haven’t you seen a breakup?”
As Adriel spoke, he glanced at Irene, and Adriel’s eyes flashed with a trace of unwillingness.
