Kyle smirked.
“Huh. Is he thinking of taking out all the money he won? I bet it wouldn’t be enough.”
“It's my first time seeing this kind of person!”
Listening to their mockery, Gerald had the urge to reveal his identity.
However, he calmed down quickly, because once he did that, he could never live the same life again. He would never be able to finish his studies peacefully, and he would be forced to leave.
This was because his father would not let him be alone in the university.
If so, his life would be disrupted completely, and Gerald did not want that to happen.
He just wanted to improve himself at his own pace, quietly. He was satisfied as long as he was not short of money.
Gerald sighed. Then, he said, “Right, I have a class later. I shall take my leave, then.”
Gerald stood up and left.
“Gerald!” Mila caught up with him.
She felt dreadful, especially when she, at one point, looked down on Gerald when he talked about his past.
She truly regretted it.
‘Why didn’t I think from Gerald’s perspective? Who would be willing to do that if he was out of money? Besides, Gerald has treated me nicely all this while. Now that he heard that I am in trouble, he came to see me. He even brought me a gift.’
Mila thought that she had wronged Gerald.
“Gerald, are you angry with me for not standing up for you when they jeered at you?”
Mila bit her lips.
“No, I’m not angry. I just want to know if that’s what you think of me. Do you think the same as them, that I am a man with no borderline when money is involved?” Gerald looked at Mila with a smile.
“I did a moment ago, but not anymore. Gerald, I still think we are good friends!”
Mila moved closer toward Gerald.
