Gerald realized after a while that her intention of the meet up wasn’t for the blind date.
Besides, Gerald himself was unwilling to attend the blind date too.
So he decided to tease her, thinking that he might be able to get it over and done with.
“What are you pretending here? If you really have a house there, why don’t you go and stay there?” Xabrina sneered.
“I do own a house there. It’s just that I don’t have the luxury of time to go and stay. Besides, it’s on top of the mountain. I can’t get used to it if I stay there alone. That’s a place for my future wife and me!”
Gerald smiled and replied.
“Oh, gosh! It’s on top of the mountain. Are you guarding the forest for anybody? Did they buy you a small house there?”
Xabrina chuckled cynically, her voice dripping with contempt.
“Then do you own a car? Let me tell you if I go to work in Mayberry, I won’t ride any car which costs less than forty-five thousand dollars.” She continued haughtily.
“I have a car too, but I park it at the foot of the mountain.”
“At the foot of the mountain. What kind of car is that?”

Xabrina scoffed. “D*mn it, oh my god. Are you out of your mind?! Gerald!”
She could not put up with it anymore.
At first, she thought that Gerald might have owned a house and a car in Mayberry.
It turns out that he seemed to be only boasting about himself.
‘I’m afraid that he doesn’t know that my sister and I’m rather aware of his family background and condition.’ She thought to herself.
“I’m telling the truth. It’s not a lie at all. I can’t do anything anyways if you choose not to believe me.”
Gerald shrugged his shoulders in resignation.
He felt that he took the blind date quite seriously. At least if Mr. Winters asked him about it in the future, he would be able to give him a proper answer.
“Look, let me just get straight to the point. My family won’t ever be in the liking of people like you. You know, I gave you the benefit of the doubt and thought that you might be an honest man since you’re poor. So I thought it’ll be fine to give you a chance to prove yourself. But now, let’s just forget about it. You s*umbag!”
Xabrina spat.
At that moment, she wanted to get up and leave immediately.
But she froze and suddenly thought:
