Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 418
It definitely took Gerald a while to explain the entire situation properly to Mila.
By the time he was done, Mila was no longer angry.
Gerald sighed. He had never anticipated for that crazy girl to actually pick up and answer his phone.
He was stuck in an extremely awkward position now.
“Say, Gerald, do have a seat… I have something I want to ask you,” said Giya as she looked toward him. On her
face was a demure smile.
“I’m fine standing. What’s your question?”
“Do you really like Mila that much?”
“Of course I do!” replied Gerald without hesitation.
Giya took in a deep breath before continuing. “Then, if that’s the case, why did you give me such an expensive gift
in the first place? In case you weren’t aware, when I learned that it was the most priceless gift your family could
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtoffer, I was touched beyond compare!”
“I’ve never been in a relationship before, Gerald. Though many other men have given me expensive gifts before,
those gifts were different from yours. Your gift was meaningful. And to tell you the truth, to me, you’re different
from the other men.”
Deep inside, Giya knew that she was trying to win Gerald’s affection.
She couldn’t explain why. She was just in love with him.
Initially, she had thought that his long-distance relationship girlfriend posed no threat to her. However, Giya now
realized how much Gerald cared for her.
Gerald on the other hand, was filled with self-reproach at that moment.
He knew that the dragon jade bracelet was never his family’s heirloom.
However, back at university that day, he couldn’t just say that for fear that his identity would be exposed. His lies
became the truth that day, at least for those who heard it.
He had lied because he had assumed back then that he was nothing but a loser compared to Giya, Tammy, and the
others.
His logic was that there was no way that they would ever feel anything for him.
What more, lying wouldn’t matter since he had also assumed that he would never have to contact any of them
again once the jade bracelet had been handed over.
Never could he have imagined the complex chain of events that would soon follow and eventually lead to this very
day.
Now here he was, in a room together with Giya. A Giya who had misunderstood his intentions from the moment he
had given her the bracelet.
It was getting too messy. Gerald knew he couldn’t hide the fact from Giya any longer. It was useless to even hide his
identity from her at this point.
Gerald took in a deep breath before saying, “The truth is, Giya, I lied to you. The dragon jade bracelet is not a
family heirloom like what you and the other girls thought. I bought two bracelets from the shop, the dragon jade
bracelet being one of them. You were supposed to receive the other, as I just wanted to compensate for the one I
broke.”
“However, I somehow mixed the two up and gave you the wrong one,” he said as he left the room. He came back
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmsoon after along with the two jade bracelets and placed them in front of Giya.
He didn’t want Giya to believe the lie any longer. With the proof in front of her now, she definitely couldn’t.
Giya bit her lower lip softly before smiling bitterly. She nodded slowly.
“So that’s the entire story… No man would ever be that stupid and give his family heirloom to a girl he barely even
knew! I guess I’ve just been overthinking everything!”
Gerald looked down with a sigh. The weight on his chest had been lifted. It felt relieving to finally be able to clear
things up with her.
“Alright then Gerald, I won’t be disturbing you anymore. I’ve given it some thought and I know that I’ll only end up
troubling you more by staying here. I really shouldn’t worry my dad too much either. Though Yacob has numerous
flaws, at least I can trust that he’ll be sincere. I’ve decided. I’m going home now.”
As soon as she ended her sentence, she stood up immediately and began packing her things up.
Giya had made up her mind. She would return home to be engaged to Yacob.
Gerald felt uneasy but who was he to stop her?
He had Mila now. What right did he have to have ambiguous relationships with other women? With that thought in
his head, he chose not to stop her.
As he sent Giya off, he thought that the incident was now truly over.
He could finally focus all his attention on the investment of Serene County.
Sometime later, Gerald received a call…
