Even that girl that the gangster was after left Gerald, opting instead to be with the bully.
The reason why Gerald became afraid and shy of girls whenever he saw them during his high school and university years, was directly linked to this event.
Once Xeno got expelled from school, he simply continued living his life out on the streets. He was rarely ever at home. What more, when Gerald entered high school, Xeno kept changing his phone number. It was difficult for Gerald just to be able to get in touch with him sometimes!
Since that day, Gerald had always kept Xeno’s sacrifice and kindness deep in his heart.
This was because Xeno’s possibly great future had been shattered by a single event, and it was directly caused by Gerald!
Sienna knew about all this and this was why she didn’t like Gerald.
Sienna was actually a very nice girl. Her family owned a big supermarket in town and they were very rich. However, she never despised or looked down on Xeno. After all, she had been dating Xeno from the first year of junior high school up till this point.
Therefore, Gerald had always had a really good impression of Sienna.
Hence, no matter what Sienna said or how badly she treated him, Gerald just couldn’t feel angry at her at all.
After all, Xeno seemed to be doing well with her. This made Gerald feel even happier and he wasn’t about to hold anything against his best friend’s fiancée.
It took some time and persuasion, but he finally managed to prevent the fight from getting too wild.
Once things calmed down a little, Sienna went to the kitchen to finish preparing the breakfast that had only been half completed before she ran out.
As they ate, Xeno and Gerald chatted about various things that had happened in the past.
Gerald also took this opportunity to tell Xeno that he had actually won the Mercedes Benz G500 at an event.
Gerald was still hesitant about whether he should tell Xeno about his true identity.
This was mainly because Gerald was afraid that if he told Xeno the truth out of the blue, then the sincere brotherhood they had shared would disappear just like that.
Naturally, since Gerald was now back in Serene County, he would definitely go all out to help Xeno as much as he could!
“Alright, what if we do this instead? I really don’t feel comfortable taking so much money from you, Gerald. I already have a stable life and I even have a fiancée now! You, however, haven’t settled down yet. You may find a girlfriend in the city and she may want to get married and live with you in the future. Think of this as an investment from me for your future happiness. I’ll just take back a small amount of money, and you take the rest. How’s that?”
