Thanks to Harper, Hayley now treated Gerald as a family, and their relationship was good.
Gerald was a little surprised at Alice’s question.
“Erm… I just wanted to give something to somebody!” Gerald stammered.
When he raised his head, his gaze met Alice’s. She was the goddess of the crowd.
At this moment, Alice was already blushing while casting glances at Gerald and the flowers held by him. The tips of two of her fingers were touching each other non-stop.
Many girls from the girls’ dormitory went to their department. Gerald’s emergence had made Alice, Jacelyn, and the rest of the girls in their gang particularly surprised.
Their impression of Gerald was that he was honest regardless of his financial status. They never thought that Gerald would come over to their department today.
Moreover, the current Gerald was no longer who he used to be. In the past, in order to defend Jacelyn and Alice, a rich young man from Mayberry had been beaten up by Jacelyn’s ex-boyfriend Danny Xanders and his cousin Luke Evans.
From then on, there was an act of wild revenge that had also affected Alice Bradford’s family.
Gerald had brought Mr. Harrison forward to settle this matter at a hotel.
Since then, Alice and Jacelyn speculated that Gerald Crawford must be an extraordinary person or even that rich young man from Mayberry himself. However, they also doubted the latter as they felt that Gerald did not have that vibe. They were only confident that Gerald was not just any other ordinary guy, he was quite rich.
These thoughts gave Jacelyn feelings of regret, and Alice, feelings of intense regret and thankfulness. They had always longed for an opportunity to make peace with Gerald, leave the past behind, and start over.
