Gerald had nothing else to do at present. He then bought some gifts and headed to the upper-class area of Serene County to visit Mr. Willie Jung.
The relationship between their families, as mentioned earlier, had drifted apart quite a bit after several incidents that went on in the later stage.
But his dad was a very sentimental man.
He did not believe that it happened, but the reality remains. As a person, how could one have no humane feelings at all?
Gerald remembered the cold treatment from the Jung Family when his dad brought him along to beg them so he could go to high school six years ago.
Gerald understood his dad’s feelings.
But this time round, he was alone, and he came here with a different identity!
He wondered if he would face the same treatment as before…
As he was deep in thought, he realized he arrived at their house, solely based on the directions from his memories.
He knocked on the door.
“Who is it?”
The door opened, and he was greeted by a middle-aged lady at the door.
Gerald knew the middle-aged woman, her name was Leia Tolbert, and Gerald referred to her as Aunt Leia. She was Willie Jung’s wife, and she was quite the influential leader in a reputable bank.
“Hello Aunt Leia, do you remember me? My name is Gerald, and I’ve visited your house with my dad before!”
“Ooh, I remember! Aren’t you the son of Willie’s friend, Dylan Crawford? I haven’t seen you for years, you’ve grown up so much! Come on in!”
She glanced at the things Gerald brought to her house.
Leia was very polite and friendly towards Gerald.
To her, this was an all-too-familiar scene. Judging by Gerald’s appearance, she knew he was here to ask for a favor.
She had already made plans on how she would refuse him later.
But it would be ill-mannered and rude to do it now.
They entered the living room.
Gerald saw a middle-aged man reading the newspaper on the sofa with his legs crossed.
He gave off a vibe as though he was an important director.
He was Willie Jung, whom Gerald referred to as Uncle Jung. He worked as a director in the Development Bureau.
