Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 230
”Because I do not want to be in this relationship anymore!” blurted Gerald without holding back.
“What did you say?!”
“Erm, Alice, there’s been a big misunderstanding. I… I didn’t go there to pursue you. Ahem, ahem. There, I said it out already. I went there that day that I wanted to ask Mila, one of your coursemates in your department, out for dinner. However, as soon as I entered, the girls from your department started surrounding me. They thought I was there to confess my love to you! After that…”
Gerald had blurted out everything he’d been holding back in his heart.
Alice started breathing hard. Every word that Gerald said felt like a sharp thorn violently piercing its way into her heart. She felt her tender body tremble.
“Then, I happened to show up, and I was mistaken that you were there to confess to me? Moreover, I even promised to become your girlfriend, right?” Alice answered with a deep frown across her brow.
“Yes! I couldn’t explain the situation there and then, considering the situation. The consequences would have been too embarrassing for you to bear!”
“Hah! I understand everything now. It turns out that I, Alice, am nothing but a fool! I’ve been played like a fiddle!” Alice replied coldly.
She had been desperately trying to get closer to him, but she got slapped before she could even do so at the end of the day.
Alice felt like a joke.
When she fell in love and got into her first relationship, she thought Quinton was the one who helped her, the reason why she got together with him in the first place. In the end, she ended up embarrassing herself.
Then, when she got into her second relationship, it was with Gerald. He was the one who always helped her out. However, he turned her down and made her feel extremely embarrassed.
Enough! She really had enough!
Wasn’t finding a wealthy and well-behaved boyfriend all she wanted?
It was all but a simple matter, so why was it so difficult for her to achieve?
Slap!!!
Alice slapped Gerald hard in frustration and anger.
“You’re an asshole, Gerald! All you have is just a tiny bit of money! You think I am one to be mocked just like that? Just you wait! One day, I, Alice, will definitely find myself a filthy rich boyfriend. I will make you regret your actions today!”
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. After slapping Gerald, Alice glared at him with hatred and resentment in her eyes before turning around and leaving.
Gerald subconsciously touched his face.
It was then that the corners of his mouth turned upwards as he smiled bitterly.
“Well, I shouldn’t be saying this, but how could anybody possibly be richer than me in the entire world? Ahem!”
Nonetheless, the matter was resolved, and he had made everything as clear as day.
Gerald, too was glad and relieved that he didn’t cut too deep a wound on Alice as well.
So be it then.
Gerald sat down at the small park, feeling a rare sensation of deep serenity as he admired the lake’s beautiful view.
His phone rang suddenly. Gerald was a little surprised when he saw the number on the caller ID. It turned out to be Mila.
Mila had broken all ties with Gerald yesterday, and she had not contacted him again since then. He answered the call in a hurry, to a peculiar sounding Mila.
“Gerald, sorry to bother you. Is it a good time to talk? There’s something I need to tell you!”
Gerald smiled bitterly.
“Of course, it’s a good time. I have no girlfriend, after all!”
“Hahaha. You made a sensational confession yesterday, Gerald. You really thought I wouldn’t see it?”
Gerald quickly understood the meaning behind Mila’s words.
He began to thoroughly explain everything that took place between him and Alice to Mila.
“Oh?”
After hearing Gerald’s explanation, Mila simply replied with one word. She didn’t even say if she believed him or not.
“Why did you want to meet?” Gerald asked.
“Do I have to have a reason to look for you?” retorted Mila, annoyed.
“No, but I am just asking because you told me that you have something to say. What is it?”
“Forget it! There’s nothing anymore!”
Beep…beep…beep…
Mila had abruptly hung up.
Gerald felt as though he was about to go crazy, feeling extremely anxious and unsettled.
Girls were tough to handle, to say the least. Smart girls were even worse!
He could never understand or figure out what went on in a girl’s mind.
Argh! Forget it!
He better look for Mila again…
