So this time, Gerald was willing to help her out.
After the arrangements were settled, Gerald went to the hospital and brought Yasmin some food. Then, he waited for Queta to arrive before leaving with Jane.
The dinner was held in a private lounge at a restaurant in Mayberry.
This was not the first time Gerald had done this, so he was quite familiar with it.
Even the opening of the scene was almost the same.
They pushed open the door to the lounge.
“Jane, you’re finally here! Huh? Who is this guy?”
Inside the private lounge, a middle-aged woman dressed in a rather fashionable manner, whom Gerald assumed was Jane’s mother, was now staring coldly at him.
Looking at Gerald’s rather ordinary outfit, the woman was already somewhat looking down on him.
She was a city dweller, and she seemed to look down on country folks and the way they dressed.
“Uhhh… This is Gerald Crawford, and he’s my boy… friend!”
On the other hand, Jane did not know what was going on in her head, and the words just slipped right out of her mouth.
Did they not agree to just being friends?
Now, Gerald was being used as a boyfriend again, f*ck!
He was embarrassed, but since the word had been said, he could not argue much.
However, Jane stuck out her tongue at Gerald. She was clearly excited.
What was she thinking?
Clearly, she thought that it would be nice if Gerald was her boyfriend.
She had dreamt about this for the past few days.
In the past, Jane had only liked Gerald when she knew that he was so wealthy.
But after spending some time together, she could see the other side of Gerald. He was lowkey, introverted, and generous to other people. More importantly, Gerald trusted her very much.
This just added to her list of reasons why she liked and respected him very much.
She was very fascinated by him.
“What? What did you just say, Jane? He’s your boyfriend?”
Jane’s mother and dad were clearly shocked. Their mouths were wide open.
Both of them were public officials, so they would very much prefer their daughter to date someone of equal social status.
