Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 999
“Well, hello there! We meet again!” said Haven Lovewell—one of the charming women—as she waved at the youth.
“We do, indeed…” replied Gerald with a subtle smile as he closed the door behind him. Placing his baggage down at a specially designated area for tourists, Gerald then headed over to an empty table that was coincidentally beside Haven’s.
As Gerald sat down, Haven added, “Do you remember our little conversation on the train earlier? It was so pleasant that I even wanted to ask you for your Line number at some point! Still, I never expected to meet you again so soon… I guess our meeting must have been written in the stars!”
“That’s quite enough, Haven. He came here to have his meal so don’t trouble him any more,” said Xareni—Haven’s elder sister—as she gently stepped on Haven’s foot, reminding her to be courteous.
“She’s right, Haven. Why did you even ask him for his Line number?” added Quintin.
Hearing that, Gerald simply shook his head before smiling wryly.
As Haven had said, Gerald had earlier bumped into the three Lovewell siblings while they were still on the train. At the time, the Lovewell siblings were sitting right across Gerald.
Quintin, however, had been dissatisfied with his window-side seat since the old man—who looked to be around eighty—sitting beside Gerald was an eyesore for him. The old man himself had been sleeping with his head leaned against the window throughout most of their journey, and Quintin couldn’t bear having to look at his sleeping face for any longer.
As a result, Quintin asked Gerald to switch seats with him. Though Gerald initially had no problem with that, Quintin had tossed a hundred dollars at Gerald while asking.
If he had been a bit nicer and more polite, Gerald would’ve switched seats with him anyway. However, from the moment the hundred dollars were tossed his way, Gerald completely ignored Quintin’s request.
Had Haven not stepped in to advise Quintin, he would’ve definitely started a fight with Gerald.
Later on, Haven herself began chatting with Gerald. Since Gerald has traveled so much in the past year, he was no longer the same person who only knew about Serene County and Mayberry City.
Due to his extensive knowledge of many different places, Haven soon found herself getting fascinated by him.
Xareni, on the other hand, never said a word to Gerald. Being the eldest among the three people, she was slightly colder and more aloof in general.
That was the gist of their interaction back on the train.
“So, where are you headed to next? Did you come to the Logan Province to study or work?” asked Haven curiously.
“I’m just here to travel!” replied Gerald with a smile.
