Chapter 1221
The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1221 âHoly! Itâs Preston!â squealed several of the girls eating there, clearly stunned by the sudden romantic turn of events.
Most girls could only dream to be surprised so romantically, so there was no way that they were going to be able to remain calm now that such a situation was happening right before their very eyes.
What more, the person confessing was even kneeling on one leg while holding out a bouquet of roses in his hand! No matter how frigid a girlâs heart was, any girl would find themselves melting in sheer delight after being confessed to like this!
Girls just had a general tendency to prefer guys who did such pleasantly surprising things.
Regardless, with such a scene actually being played out before the other girls now, envy and slight hatred were the only emotions currently reflected in their eyes. While the same emotions ran through Yulisa and the rest of Noelleâs friends, they were simultaneously excited for her, and they quickly stepped aside to give Preston and her some room. While doing so, they also fished their cell phones out to begin filming this extremely romantic scene.
Now left sitting alone at the table, Noelle could only blush with slight discomfort as she tucked her hair behind her ears. In a shy tone, she then asked, âWhat on earth do you think youâre doing, Prestonâ¦?â
âYou should very well understand what my intentions are, Noelle⦠Please understand that Iâve already liked you for the longest time, and I swear that Iâll take good care of you for the rest of my life if you agree to be with me! With that said⦠Please be my girlfriend!â replied Preston in a serious tone.
âHoly! Go on, accept him!â
âAccept him! Accept him!â
After hearing such a serious proposal, there was no way that the audience was going to remain silent.
Upon hearing the audiencesâ chants, a smug look instantly formed on Prestonâs face.
However, Noelle clearly didnât look like she appreciated any of this. As she felt her face get hotter and hotter, she suddenly stood up before saying, âIâve already told you that I have no intentions of getting into a relationship at the moment!â
Following that, she grabbed her bag before turning around to leave!
Clearly not expecting her to just leave like that, the embarrassed Preston immediately called out, âWait!
Noelle!â
Noelle, however, didnât stop walking. Now that he had failed, the petals on the ground almost seemed like they were mocking him, and Preston ended up tossing his bouquet of roses to the ground in anger.
As he immediately began chasing after Noelleâwith slight reluctanceâYulisa and the others excitedly followed after them, hoping to witness what would happen next.
When Yulisa passed by Gerald, however, she made sure to purposely push him to the side with contempt as she shouted, âMove aside!â
For some reason, all the girls simply assumed that Noelle wouldâve already agreed to Prestonâs proposal and become his girlfriend if Gerald hadnât caused her to be in a bad mood earlier!
âCanât you see how many people are trying to pursue Noelle? Despite Preston being such a rich and excellent young man, Noelle still didnât agree to be his girlfriend! With that in mind, why is someone like you even still courageous enough to ask for her phone number? Just get lost already!â scowled another one of Noelleâs friendsârather unceremoniouslyâas she glared at him before immediately running off with the other girls.
With all that had just happened, Gerald couldnât help but let out a deep internal sigh. As if he ever had any intentions of pursuing Noelle! He just wanted to befriend her so that he would be able to get her to willingly hand him a drop of her blood! Whatever the case was, things were now definitely getting a bit too complicated than he wouldâve liked.
With that in mind, he was now rather hesitant on whether now was the right time to continue catching up to and pestering her.
As Gerald pondered his dilemma, three people simply sipped on their Coke as they continued looking at him. They had been calmly spectating this entire scene for a while now.
âHey boss, did you see that? Though that kid looked like he was interested in pursuing that Noelle girl, I guess he was just one step too slow from that Preston kid! Looks like heâs thoroughly regretting it now!â
said one of the men with a chuckle.
âHah! I just canât help but get mad when I see such wimpy guys, you know? I really feel like beating him up now! One has to be bold and shameless when pursuing a girl, you know? If he was, then heâd definitely have been able to get any girl he wanted!â scoffed another of the three men.
âSince youâre saying that, why donât you head over there and teach that kid a thing or two then, Zacky?
I heard you were quite an experienced lover yourself back in university!â replied what seemed to be the boss of that group as he patted Zacky on the shoulder. While he did so, however, he continued staring at Gerald with a somewhat odd gaze.
âHah! With my tricks, heâll be able to get that girl easy! Letâs bet ten meals on whether what I said ends up becoming true or not!â said Zacky.
âI call bullsh*t! Whatever the case is, do be careful. With his heart just freshly broken, he may attempt to beat you up, you know? Of course, if he does agree to let you teach him and he ends up getting that girl, those ten meals will be on me!â added the first man who had spoken with a chuckle.
