Slumdog Billionaire Husband novel Chapter 61

Chapter 61 Dad, I’m Back

Sacramento was Gerald’s hometown. Gerald had lived here for eighteen years.

Now Gerald was 27 years old. He had been away from Sacramento for 9 years.

Many things had happened to Gerald in the past nine years. Sometimes Gerald felt grateful to those people who had set him up nine years ago. Without them, Gerald would not have joined Night Watch or become who he was now.

Hearing Gerald, Jessica smiled and said, “Are you a local here?”

Gerald smiled. “Yes, I was born here. However, I have been away for a long, long time.”

“Really?” Daphne, who carried a drawing board, glanced at Gerald with curiosity and asked, “Why did you come back this time? To visit your relatives and friends here? To work?”

Gerald thought, to visit my relatives?

Is that so? In Sacramento, I don’t think I have any relatives, apart from my parents.

Gerald thought for a moment and said, “Both.”

With a faint smile, Jessica said, “By the way, Mr. Kenneth, what do you do?”

Gerald rubbed his nose and said, “Well, I haven’t found a job yet. Unemployed.”

This answer took both Jessica and Daphne by surprise. Right then, a middle–aged man came over and said to Jessica,

“Ms. Lange.”

Speaking, the middle–aged man took the suitcases from both Jessica and Daphne. “The car is waiting outside. Shall we leave for the company?”

Jessica shook her head and said, “I will treat my friend to dinner first.”

The middle–aged man was surprised. Then, he quickly said, “Ms. Lange, the company has been in a mess after you left. The whole company knew that you would come back to Sacramento today. They are waiting for you to set things

right.”

Jessica frowned. Gerald smiled and said, “Never mind. Work comes first. I will stay in Sacramento for a long time and may settle here. We may dine together when it’s convenient. Moreover, what I did was a trifle. Don’t take it to heart.”

Jessica became embarrassed as she said, “I am terribly sorry. How about tomorrow? Let’s dine together tomorrow

night.”

Gerald nodded and said, “No problem.”

“Okay. I will contact you on Line later,” Jessica said.

Gerald nodded. After watching Jessica and Daphne leave, Gerald turned around and left to hail a taxi.

Behind Gerald, Tyrone stood not far away with a mask. With a gloomy face, Tyrone looked at Gerald’s back. After a moment, a voice sounded, “Tyrone!”

Tyrone looked over, saw Henley in the crowd, and quickly walked over. “Henley.”

“Tsk tsk, how is my task for you?” Henley asked.

“Done,” Tyrone said proudly.

“Great.” Henley nodded with satisfaction. Then, he said, “Let’s go. I’ll take you to see the beauties of Los Angeles.

Don’t forget yourself. You are a celebrity anyway.”

“Henley, come on. There are so many beauties in Los Angeles. I met two beautiful women on the plane, but a killjoy appeared. Screw him!” Tyrone pointed to Gerald, who was far away.

Henley looked at Gerald and frowned. “Hey, he looks like Gerald.”

Then, he shook his head again.

Henley didn’t think that Gerald had the guts to come back to Sacramento. In his opinion, Gerald must feel lucky to find a decent job in Los Angeles.

Gerald has a bad reputation in Sacramento. He will humiliate himself if he comes back here. Henley thought.

“Let’s go!” Henley put his arm around Tyrone’s shoulder and said, “Damn it! You are a man. Why do you wear makeup? It disgusts me!”
