“That’s him, sister!” said Tulip with a soft tone as she pointed at Gerald.
Hearing that, she scanned Gerald briefly from head to toe before nodding slightly.
Following that, she grabbed her bag and got up to leave. While Gerald did intend to at least greet her, she completely ignored him.
Once she was gone, Tulip smugly said, “That was my elder sister, Juliet Yowell! What do you think? A beauty, isn’t she? Hah! Even if you deny it, I saw how wide your eyes were the moment you saw her!”
Nodding slightly, Gerald simply replied, “So tell me, what did you want to meet me for?”
“Well, it’s something good so of course I had to tell you in person. Actually, scratch good, it’s great news!” said Tulip before sighing.
“The truth is, I’ve been looking for someone suitable for the longest time. At long last, I’ve finally found you to be the perfect candidate!” added Tulip.
“Pray tell what exactly I’m a perfect candidate for…”
Hearing that, Tulip simply chuckled before saying, “Alright, so before anything else, let me just say that what you’re about to hear will be extremely shocking. If you end up dying from excitement, don’t say I didn’t warn you!”
Taking in a deep breath, she then continued, “…So you see, my sister’s been looking for a live-in son-in-law for a while now… And after searching for so long, you seem to be the most suitable candidate for the job!”
“…I beg your pardon? Me? A live-in son-in-law?” said Gerald as he immediately stood up, wide-eyed.
“Haha! I know, right? I was surprised that my sister agreed with it as well!” replied Tulip happily. Tulip had clearly mistaken Gerald’s surprise for excitement, which explained why she was feeling so joyful.
“…Alright, let’s slow down for a bit. First of all, your sister’s extremely beautiful, so I’m sure she has many admirers. Why’s she only looking for a live-in son-in-law…?” asked Gerald, his resignation evident in his voice.
“It’s a long story…” said Tulip with a sigh before detailing everything.
Basically, after Gerald had saved her, Tulip got scolded by her family the moment she arrived home. However, after being scolded by her father, an idea came to her.
