Some of them would even chat with her every night.
Technically, by doing all that for her, those men were already good enough to reach her ‘partner standards’.
Ordinary Man himself had not spoken much with Felicity for a few months now. She had never met him in person either.
Despite all that, Felicity still felt nothing for the others.
It was definite proof of her admiration toward Ordinary Man.
She had even imagined how he looked, countless times.
However, with every passing clue that she got, it further revealed the fuller picture that Ordinary Man was none other than the person that she had always looked down upon, Gerald. How could she not have complicated feelings about that?
‘Could it really be Gerald?’
‘If it is, then is Gerald the one for me? Will I… Will I still love him?’
‘I honestly can’t believe that I’ve fallen for Gerald!’
Such questions and thoughts would fill her mind from the day they last met at the restaurant.
She had been constantly anxious about it, and she was now more anxious than ever with him standing before her.
She couldn’t hold herself back anymore so she asked him for the truth.
“And what if I were? Would you still like me?” asked Gerald back, a bitter smile on his face.
Felicity bit her lower lip slightly before shaking her head. “I… I don’t know! I don’t know if I’d be able to like you even if you truly are Ordinary Man!”
Gerald chuckled at this. “You’re just overthinking this. How on earth could I ever be Ordinary Man?”
Though his voice was calm, his face couldn’t fully hide his unease. Gerald was having complicated feelings as well as he looked at Felicity.
