After stealthily slipping the bank card into her pocket, Gerald hailed a cab for her. He wasn’t worried about her not being able to use it since she had already known what the password was, even from back when they were still in university. The password itself was just his birth date.
“Aren’t you coming along with us, Gerald?” asked Naomi as she rolled the cab’s window down.
“I’ll be on my own from here! Farewell, Naomi!” replied Gerald with a wave as the cab began driving off.
Sticking her head out the window, Naomi then shouted, “Gerald, please! I don’t care if we end up having a lot of money or not! Let’s just stick together and get married! We’ll find jobs together in Mayberry city and from there, we’ll be able to support ourselves just fine in the future! I’m sure of it! If Mayberry isn’t to your liking, then… Then let’s just live in the countryside! We’ll get a small place of our own… Settle down, then live the rest of our lives ordinarily and in comfort! Are you hearing any of this?”
“What’s that? I can’t hear you! Regardless, travel safely and remember to live well!” yelled Gerald in return as he waved his hand.
“I said, why don’t both of us get married? Can’t we? I don’t mind it at all! Sir, please stop the car!” yelled Naomi anxiously when she realized that Gerald couldn’t hear what she was saying.
However, no matter how much she pleaded, the driver simply wouldn’t stop the car. Taking in a deep breath, the cab driver tapped on the money in his pocket that Gerald had given him before stepping on the accelerator.
Even after the cab was no longer in sight, Gerald found it hard to stop waving.
Of course he had heard her. He had heard every single word she had said extremely clearly.
Though a normal life was honestly what he had always yearned for after getting rich, he knew he wouldn’t be able to achieve that. Not until he found Mila again.
As long as she remained missing, he had absolutely no intention of starting a new Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter in his life.
Even though he was well aware of that, why was he feeling so reluctant to part with Naomi this time…?
Thinking about it for a while, he realized that it must’ve been because he was quite sure that he would never be able to see her ever again…
