Seeing how stunned Gerald looked, Quest placed a finger under his chin as he said with a hint of interest in his tone, “Humph! You’re a grown-up, aren’t you Mr. Crawford? Are you going to tell me now that you’ve never seen beauties before? Though I have to admit that those two women are particularly stunning.”
“Hush!” replied Gerald, his gaze stern as he continued looking at the two women.
Gerald really hadn’t expected to bump into the two girls here of all places. The two beauties were in fact his old acquaintances, Jasmine and Mindy.
He hadn’t met the two girls from the time he had bid farewell with them about half a year ago in the Salford Province.
After all, after the incident at the Fenderson family mansion, his father had told him that he was contractually bound to have a marriage with Jasmine. Upon finding out that his grandfather had been the one to sign the contract, Gerald could only feel helpless back then.
However, he understood his grandfather’s motive. It was the trend back then to have strong alliances, after all.
Snapping out of it, Gerald then told Quest to stop the engine.
His intent wasn’t to continue spying on them, nor was it for him to greet and catch up with them. The truth was, Gerald had noticed two figures seemingly stalking both Jasmine and Mindy from a distance. The stalkers were simply too suspicious for Gerald to ignore.
“Are you done looking at them yet, Mr. Crawford? They’re already ascending the mountain,” said Quest.
“I’m waiting for them to go a bit higher. Just wait here in the meantime.”
After making sure that the two girls had ascended quite a distance, Gerald silently got out of the car and began inching toward the two sneaky people.
“F*cking hell! Is he actually planning to catch up with the two beauties to have a chat with them?” said Quest in resignation.
He then looked at Naomi before saying, “…Wait here, I’ll go over there to see what he’s up to.”
With that, he walked up to Gerald.
