Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1241
“Gerald? Are you full already?” asked Noelle as she attempted to stop him from leaving.
The subsequent birthday party was extremely hasty if anything, mainly due to what happened a while back. Even so, nobody dared to speak up any longer, especially Gracie who had remained obediently quiet this entire time.
“Indeed I am!”
“I see… By the way, Gerald, my mom wanted me to ask you what you did for a living…” asked Noelle in a soft tone, though it was evident that she was curious about that as well.
After all, everyone had seen how Chairman Wadder treated Gerald earlier.
“Me? Good question! I wonder what I do for a living myself!”
Hearing that, Noelle simply replied with a laugh. Gerald was getting more and more mysterious by the second…
“Actually… Could… it be that you’re the legendary and mysterious Mr. Crawford from Mayberry City…?” asked Noelle again, her voice gentle.
By that point, Gracie and the others had gathered behind Noelle. All of them were holding onto their breaths as they anxiously looked at Gerald while awaiting his answer.
Gerald himself simply shook his head with a wry smile on his face before replying, “Is it important whether I’m him or not? To be quite frank, there’s something I’ve needed your help with for some time now, Noelle… I wonder if you see me as a friend enough to willingly lend me a hand…”
His eyes were serious as he stared at Noelle while asking that question.
After observing how she kept looking at him for a while, Gerald could discern that her feelings toward him seemed to be different from before. They felt much more sincere.
With that in mind, Gerald felt that it was finally a suitable time to ask that question. He was honestly also slightly worried that if he allowed those feelings to continue developing beyond this point, he would inevitably end up hurting her.
“Also, regarding the crisis the Shadwells are currently facing… Let’s just say that you’ll be receiving the funding you require before long. Once that happens, you won’t be bogged down by too many worries and all of you will be able to do as you please again!” added Gerald.
