Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1204
Even so, knowing about all this now was a little too late for Desmond.
Grabbing him by the neck, Gerald then lifted Desmondâtill his feet couldnât touch the groundâbefore tossing him out the room! Naturally, the bodyguards from before quickly took care of him from that point onward.
With that done, Gerald slid an incense stick out of his sleeve, lit it, and began letting Felicity breathe in its scent.
As Gerald did so, he recalled how all this had begun in the first place. Just as he was about to knock on Felicityâs door earlier, he had heard odd noises coming from inside.
It didnât take long for him to realize what was happening inside, and though his murderous intent immediately fired up at that moment, Gerald quickly calmed himself down. After all, he was well aware that he couldnât act too recklessly now that he had returned to Mayberry.
It was the reason why he had quickly formulated the events that had just taken place.
Regardless, Felicity soon found herself feeling much better after smelling Geraldâs incense. The moment the feebleness was gone, she immediately sat up excitedly and embraced Gerald before saying, âT-thank god you were here, Gerald! I⦠I was so scared just nowâ¦â
Quite honestly, Felicity was terrified with the thought that this was all just a dream. That when she eventually woke up, the person she had yearned for, for so long would disappearâ¦
âEverythingâs fine now⦠Also, youâre already a great celebrity, arenât you? How could you be so careless and not have a few bodyguards with you at all times?â replied Gerald with a slightly bitter smile.
âWell, since Chairman Lyle and many others have always taken care of me, I had the assumption that nobody would actually try to frame me⦠I admit, I was way too naïve! But enough about me! Whenâ¦
When did you come back, Gerald? Naomi and I went looking for you the second we heard that you had disappeared, you know? And that eventually led toâ¦â
Felicityâs sentence slowly trailed off, seemingly remembering something frighteningâ¦
ââ¦Thereâs no need to go into detail about that. Itâs all in the past now. What matters is that weâre safe and sound now. Isnât that nice!â replied Gerald as he looked at her with a subtle smile.
ââ¦Yeah⦠Speaking of which, Gerald⦠Did you return to Mayberry just to see meâ¦?â asked Felicity in a softened tone.
Even though she knew that the answer was still probably going to be no, the touched girl still felt the urge to ask that question. After all, who knows, there could be a chance that it truly was the case.
ââ¦Somewhat,â replied Gerald, which was the truth.
While he had wanted to meet up with her sooner or later, he hadnât returned to Mayberry just to see her. His main objective was still to find another girl with a strong yin physique, after all. Besides, he was also planning to visit his other old acquaintances.
Regardless, he of all people knew better than to use ambiguous words to coax her.
Hearing that, a hint of disappointment could be seen on Felicityâs face as she said, ââ¦I see!
Regardless, Iâm glad to see that youâre safe and sound!â
ââ¦Speaking of which, howâs Naomi been, recently? I know youâve been busy shooting a film here in Mayberry, but have you contacted her at all while you were here?â asked Gerald.
âNaomi? Oh, weâve been in touch quite recently, actually. We had to use the school she was teaching in to shoot a few scenes, you see. The director even allowed a few students in her class to act with us!
Still, though I did consider asking Naomi to stay by my side, I refrained after hearing how much she was enjoying her job now. Speaking of which, Iâm sure youâve already guessed it by now, but sheâs already a teacher, you know? Sheâs even bought a house for her and her mother near the school!â
explained Felicity.
âIâm aware of that much,â replied Gerald with a nod.
âThatâs good to know! Still, I wonder if youâre aware of the troubles sheâs currently facing⦠Though itâs only been two days, sheâs refused to go out to have lunch with me, saying that she was busy. While that may not sound like much, she had previously always agreed to my lunch invitations! When I asked her what the problem was, she simply remained silent and sulky!â said Felicity as she smoothened her hair before pouring a glass of water for Gerald.
ââ¦Oh? Is that so? Iâll go meet up with her first then. Meanwhile, you should get the rest you deserve.
You know, I plan to return to Mayberry University tomorrow. If youâre interested, we could head there together!â
âO-of course!â replied Felicity, overjoyed.
After hearing how sulky Naomi had recently been, Gerald immediately thought of paying her a visit as well. The fact that she was staying close to a school also made it possible for him to kill two birds with one stone. He still needed to look for another woman with a strong yin physique, after all, and where better to find a crowd of women than a school. What a perfect coincidence!
With that in mind, Gerald then left Wayfair Mountain Entertainment in his Lamborghini to meet up with Naomiâ¦
