Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 791
“It is! I really hadn’t expected to bump into you again!” replied Gerald with a nod.
The woman in question, was none other than Alice.
He had initially thought that he wouldn’t ever see her again after the incident in the Fenderson family mansion. To think that he would bump into her again so soon!
Gerald still remembered what Alice had said to him that night, and he was honestly still feeling bad about it. Had she not met him, she could’ve been living a much better life now.
As if her suffering wasn’t already enough, she would’ve definitely been beaten up much more terribly by that man had he stepped any later! Seeing the state she was in made Gerald truly saddened.
After all, he no longer held on to any resentment toward her.
“Are you alright?” asked Gerald.
“I… I’m fine! I’m just a loser now, Gerald… Do you want to beat me up too? After all, I’m just some vain girl who loves money and is willing to do anything for it! I’m beyond shameless! Just leave me be!” replied Alice between sobs as she began crawling away.
“Why do you have to be this way, Alice…” said Gerald as he shook his head in resignation. He simply couldn’t bear looking at her like this.
“Just ignore me, Gerald… I don’t deserve your concern after treating you like that back then!” replied Alice as she sat on the ground and wept.
Gerald was well aware that there was simply no way that he would be able to sleep well tonight if he abandoned her in her current state.
“…I’ll get you a room for the night. It’s pretty late already and you definitely look like you need the rest. Come on now,” said Gerald as he supported Alice up and began leading her into the closest hotel.
Before entering the hotel, he turned to look around and gestured at his subordinates. Understanding his non-verbal order clearly, they immediately arranged for the ship from earlier to wait for his return.
After booking a room and making sure that she got there safely, Gerald was about to leave when Alice suddenly wrapped her arms around him tightly!
“Just get some well-deserved rest, I really need to go now!” said Gerald.
