Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 881
Gerald visited Finnley’s house once in the past.
It was embarrassing to mention it but back then, Gerald felt that it was a little cumbersome to have Finnley by his side.
He wanted Finnley to be able to settle down at home.
However, Queta felt that it would be pitiful for Finnley to be left at home alone. Not to mention how fond Finnley was of Gerald, as reflected by how eager he was to follow him around all the time.
So, he brought Finnley back to live in the villa with him.
What a twist. The only person he could rely on now was Finnley.
Gerald ran into the house.
He saw a table full of delicacies on the table in the middle of the room.
“Uncle Quick? Are you here?” Gerald asked.
“Who is it?”
At this moment, a middle-aged woman wearing an apron came out from the room next door, holding a steaming-hot dish in her hands.
Gerald was taken aback.
“I…I am looking for Uncle Quick! Finnley Quick!”
The woman looked at Gerald, who reeked of sweat after toiling away the entire day and a look of disgust appeared on her face as she responded, Finnley has already gone up the mountain! He ain’t back yet! Why are you looking for him?”
“Well, I have my reasons. I will wait for him to come back first. Since it looks like you’re expecting guests, I’ll be waiting outside the door!”
Gerald suddenly noticed that Finnley had gotten a pretty sweet deal for himself. Looks like he was able to get a wife for himself. If his memory served him right, before he left, Gerald left him a pretty big sum of money as pension.
However, Gerald felt too ashamed and embarrassed to ask about it. He stumbled out of the door and was about to wait by the doorway until Finnley came back.
“Hey, wait a minute! What is your name?”
The woman asked as if she had suddenly thought of something.
“Gerald Crawford!” Gerald replied.
“Oh! So you’re Gerald? We’ve been waiting for you for a few days now! He said that you’d come looking for him, so he asked me to welcome you and get you settled down. Still, why haven’t I seen you even though I come here everyday?”
“Uncle Quick knew that I was coming?”
“That’s right! He’d given me the instructions about a week ago. After that, he headed straight into the mountains! He told me that you are a rich young man! But you sure don’t look like one…hahaha!”
Gerald looked at his own clothes and he could not help but smiled wryly.
