Jessica had also given her a very clear hint.
Mila could not help but feel that her heart was really in a lot of pain at this moment.
She originally thought that things would be very simple and that she would end up getting married to Gerald and that they would be able spend the rest of their lives together then.
However, looking at the way it was, it seemed as though this was completely impossible.
Gerald did not tell her everything in the past. Therefore, Mila only thought that he was just a very wealthy and influential person in Mayberry City.
But how would any ordinary person possibly know anything about his true identity and background?
“So, Mila, I hope that you will put some thoughts into this matter when you go back. You should think about how you are going to carry on your relationship with Gerald and which direction you would want to take in this relationship.”
Jessica patted Mila on her shoulder before she said, “You can stay here on this island tonight. I will bring someone to send you home tomorrow. Besides that, you can come to my Tiescol Island whenever you want to in future. However, Mila, there is something that you have to promise me. It is regarding the thing that I have mentioned to you before. I hope that you will not tell Gerald that the both of us have met up with one another today!”
Mila naturally nodded in response.
It was obvious that Jessica actually really liked Mila. However, Jessica was also helpless when it came to certain matters. The specific end result would depend entirely on Mila and Gerald’s reaction and decision.
Jessica was only telling them about this matter in advance because she loved and cared about them.
That night, Mila could not fall asleep at all.
She had thought of calling Gerald several times. However, she could not help but think of the fact that Gerald was always helping her from the very beginning.
After all, from the beginning to the end, she had not been able to do anything for Gerald at all. Instead, Gerald was the one who had been doing everything for her all this while!
It was the same case now. Mila had required Jessica’s help even when she was in Hong Kong. Otherwise, she would not even have been able to deal with someone like Hallie on her own.
If she really wanted to be together with Gerald and spend the rest of her life with him, then she would have to learn how to be independent. That way, she would be able to share Gerald’s worries and help him in future instead of adding to his burden.
Mila could only silently remind herself…
At the same time, Gerald had just gotten into his bed.
