Giya had been touched when Gerald had helped her and even given her something very precious to him.
She had then developed feelings for Gerald.
She had always thought about him whenever she was free. She found him really cute, but she knew that Gerald probably hated her.
She honestly wanted to be friends with him, but what Gerald had done to her made her truly disappointed.
“What’s so great about that poor peasant anyway?!” Yakob said angrily.
Everyone stopped talking about him after that, but Giya felt really upset. What was so bad about her? No guys had ever rejected Giya like that except Gerald.
When Gerald found out that Giya’s mother had recovered, he was instantly relieved, and his life continued as usual.
That same evening, Gerald brought some books over to return to the library. He saw a girl outside the library who seemed to be waiting for somebody.
Gerald was stunned. That girl was Giya!
Giya raised her head and saw Gerald.
“Hey, Giya! You came to study?” Gerald asked her awkwardly.
“Nope. I came to return some books!” Giya said.
Gerald felt genuinely guilty about what had happened previously.
“Have you eaten? I could treat you to a meal at the canteen. I’ve just heard about what happened to Mrs. Quarrington today. How’s she doing?” Gerald asked
“She’s doing better now, thanks for asking. Also, I’ve already eaten. Thanks for the offer, but I’m meeting with my friends!” Giya nodded politely.
