Gerald was simply too much. To think that he was acting so powerful just seconds ago when everyone here clearly knew about his background!
“After transferring schools back then, we haven’t been in contact for so many years, Marilyn. I really hadn’t expected you to know my cousins!” said Gerald in response.
“Either way, there’s no need for us to talk pointlessly anymore. You almost make it sound like I even want to contact you! Just find someplace to sit down already!” replied Marilyn, a hint of disgust in her voice.
Hearing that, Gerald could only smile helplessly as he went toward a seat. Just as he was about to sit down, however, another voice suddenly called out to him.
“Gerald!”
Looking up, Gerald got the shock of his life.
“…Giya? What are you doing here too?”
D*mn it! Gerald really hadn’t expected to bump into so many familiar faces wherever he went!
Ever since that incident, Gerald hadn’t contacted Giya at all. However, what was even more embarrassing was the fact that Giya still frequently sent him messages though he never replied to any of them.
After all, he had assumed that he would never have to meet her again. Unfortunately, when it rained, it poured.
“It really is you! Why haven’t you responded to any of my messages?!” said Giya, her eyes reddened.
While she was well aware that she had promised to leave him alone after that fake wedding incident, she simply couldn’t forget about him. No matter how much she reminded herself that it was impossible for both of them to be together, whenever she closed her eyes, scene after scene would play out in her mind.
Scenes like the time when Gerald had braved the rain to carry her to the infirmary that time when she had sprained her ankle. When Gerald had constantly saved her whenever she found herself in trouble.
At this point, Giya had already come to terms that Gerald had engraved himself too deeply into her heart for her to ever be able to forget about him. It was the reason why while she was happy to see him, she was simultaneously filled with grief.
