Although Jane wanted money, she still got along with it. As long as Gerald asked for her help, she was willing to lend a hand.
As expected, she came immediately after the phone call.
Only then did Gerald wipe the cold sweat from his forehead and dialed Mila’s number.
“Sorry, the number you dialed is off…”
Her phone was turned off again!
Gerald sent her a message on WeChat.
As expected, he was blocked and his number was deleted.
Ugh!
Gerald blamed himself even more now.
He blamed himself more than yesterday for saying the wrong thing. He had no idea how to explain things to Mila regarding his lateness.
After Gerald returned to college, he even went to look for Mila a few times, but he ended up getting the door shut right in his face.
She did not even look at him at all.
He was afraid that this cold war would last for an eternity.
Gerald walked around the campus by himself, stopping at a small park and resting there for a while.
Dealing with relationship issues really left him a little overwhelmed.
One thing he had learned today was that girls actually did not mean it if they said ‘No’.
He immediately thought of Xavia Yorke.
They used to come to this small park too.
They would both take a stroll here, hand in hand.
Then, Gerald had mustered up the courage to ask Xavia if they could have sex.
Smack!
“Scram! Gerald, what kind of girl do you take me for?”
Gerald remembered that he had gotten slapped and scolded by Xavia.
It was obvious that she did not want to.
From her attitude, she really meant to say no!
It made him quite self-conscious at that time. Xavia was indeed a good girl, but why did things turn out that way? On the contrary, Gerald treated her even better after that incident.
Now that he thought about it…
