Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1021
“It’s me, Gerald!”
Before Gerald could even say anything, the door to his room was pushed open and Haven popped her head in before entering.
“Didn’t you head back to your room to rest, Haven? Why are you here again?” asked Gerald with a resigned smile on his face.
Haven had immediately looked for him the moment he returned to the manor, intent on finding out how he was so powerful.
Not seeing any reason to hide anything from her, Gerald had earlier chatted with her for a while before sending her off.
He truly hadn’t expected to meet her again so soon.
“Well, the more I thought about it back in my room, the more I felt that something just wasn’t right! Humph! You’re not being a very good friend at all! Have you already forgotten that we had agreed to be friends back when we were still on the train? It took me a moment to realize, but you never came looking for me in the end! How do you plan on explaining yourself?” said Haven as she took a seat.
“Haha… Guilty as charged!” replied Gerald with a wry smile on his face.
Staring at him for a while, Haven then smiled sweetly before asking, “Then answer me honestly. Do you truly treat me as a friend?”
“Of course I do!”
“Great! So… Could you please teach me how to throw daggers? I want to learn how to do that too!”
“What kind of society are we even living in now? Why would you even want to learn a skill that could be used to kill?”
“Well, it’s because by this point, I’ve already encountered several powerful and skillful people who have abilities that easily surpass the limits of ordinary people! I want to be like them too!”
“You’ll have your chance in the future… Fine, why don’t we do this? I’ll teach you a trick or two tomorrow under the condition that you’re fully energetic to learn them. In order for you to achieve that, you’d better leave now and get some well-deserved rest!” replied Gerald as he smiled.
“Deal! Remember to keep to your word, or you can’t call yourself a man anymore! Well, I’ll be taking my leave first!” said Haven before skipping happily toward the door to leave.
As soon as she opened the door, however, she immediately said in a surprised tone, “Sister? Why are you here?”
“So you were as well, Haven! I’ve come to discuss some things with Mr. Crawford, so run along first!”
Hearing that, Gerald realized that it was Xareni’s turn to meet him. Haven herself was too busy daydreaming about learning new skills tomorrow so she simply left without thinking too much about her sister’s motive for being there.
