Breaking from his daze, Gerald then looked at the girl who had shouted at him before asking, “What do you want?”
The girl who was pointing at him looked to be in her late teens, and while she looked rather bizarre, she was also somewhat beautiful.
“Are you all alone?” asked another girl as she placed a hand on her waist. It was the girl who had told Bethany about Gerald earlier.
“I suppose you could say that!” replied Gerald as he nodded.
“That’s rather pitiful to hear! How about this, Bethany wants to invite you over to pick tennis balls for us! At least you won’t be alone if you do that for us!” added the girl.
Gerald remembered his sister telling him that since the Crawford family was so immensely huge with so many complicated branches, it was normal for those within the family to not know who was who among the younger generation.
“If something’s weighing your mind, it’ll only get worse if you continue dwelling on it alone! By picking our tennis balls, you’ll be able to forget all your worries!” shouted another girl.
While Gerald’s first response was to smile bitterly, he couldn’t deny that what they had said made some sense. After all, as long as he could distract himself enough, he wouldn’t need to dwell on the incident.
“Fine, I’ll do it!” replied Gerald.
“Haha! He’s actually going to do it! Here he comes!” said the girls smugly.
“Great to hear. Now let’s continue our game, sisters! We can go all out now that someone is willing to pick our tennis balls for us!” said Bethany rather excitedly.
However, before they could even resume playing, a woman walked up to them. Seeing the woman, all the girls immediately turned to look at her.
The beautiful and graceful woman looked to be around twenty-six years old, and she seemed to have a rather good disposition.
While the girls playing tennis earlier were all beautiful, none of them were even close in terms of beauty when compared with the new woman. In fact, the woman’s beauty rivaled even that of many celebrities.
