Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1228
âNot at all,â replied Gerald casually.
Though Maia wanted to say more to express her concern, she simply couldnât bring herself to say anything at all. After all, she had earlier looked down on Gerald, even claiming that he was going to give them more trouble than help!
Well, to be more precise, she hadnât treated him seriously at all from the moment they had first met all the way back in high school. Even when they had finally reunited in the bar years later and after Maia found out that he was extremely rich back in the Salford Province, never had she taken him seriously in the least.
Regardless, Maia couldnât help but feel her heart race now that she was standing before this strange, new Gerald. In all honesty, she now had great admiration and respect for him deep in her heart.
Gerald himself barely felt the need to show off in front of Maia. After all, he didnât need her admiration or respect to fulfill his vanity.
Shaking the thought off, Gerald suddenly remembered something. Turning around, he sawâfrom quite a distance awayâthat the two girls from earlier were still quivering in the car.
Back when he was on the carâs roof, he had heard one of the girls screaming. Upon hearing that familiar voice, Gerald was immediately able to guess that Maverick must have kidnapped both Yulisa and Noelle!
The fact that Gerald could earlier also feel strong yin energy coming from within the car further solidified his theory.
With that in mind, he quickly headed over to the car.
The girls themselves hadnât been wearing any seatbelts earlier, soâdue to the car stopping so abruptly âthey had been flung forward, colliding with the back of the front seats! Both of them were never meant to bear this amount of impact, so it was no wonder why Yulisa and Noelle were feeling like their bodies were going to fall apart any second now.
By the time Gerald came close enough, he could see that Yulisa barely had the image of a young lady anymore as she continued bawling her eyes out.
âEverythingâs going to be alright⦠Now come on out. Both of you!â said Gerald as he couldnât help but smile wryly while looking at the two girls.
The slight bitterness in his smile, of course, had stemmed from the fact that Gerald could tell that all that had happened wasnât just mere coincidence.
Holding onto Geraldâs arm, Noelle then fixed her hair with a smile before nodding at Gerald as she said, ââ¦T-thank youâ¦â
When it came to impressing someone, nothing could surpass saving oneâs life. While Noelle had previously hated Gerald, she now felt a bit more affectionate to him instead.
Regardless, both the victims were asked a few questions from the police before they were allowed to leave and get some rest.
Since Aiden and the others were still busy with quite a bit of things, Gerald didnât ask him to accompany him back.
Instead, Gerald chose to send the two girls back to campus himself. This time, Noelle didnât turn down Geraldâs offer. In fact, she accepted his invitation with great pleasure.
Since Noelle was looking a little haggardâsince she had, after all, suffered quite a scare earlierâ
Gerald knew better than to mention the invigorating blood droplets now.
After all, it would be bad if Noelle somehow came to the assumption that he had only saved her since he wanted to get his hands on her blood. That would definitely destroy her image of him for good.
As Gerald continued thinking about it, he was slightly startled when Noelle suddenly looked at him before asking, âI⦠Iâve been pretty rude to you today⦠So Iâd like to apologize and thank you as well for saving us!â
Upon hearing that, Gerald truly felt that Aiden was quite impressive. After all, before Aiden had left, he had told Gerald that Noelle would definitely apologize and express her gratitude to him sooner or later.
According to Aiden, after Gerald replied with a few specific wordsâthat Aiden then shared with Gerald âGerald didnât even need to ask her for her contact number anymore.
Quickly repeating what Aiden had taught him in his mind, Gerald then said, âItâs fine. Thereâs no need for you to thank me. Still, our meeting must be fated since we keep meeting each other over and over again. Maybe itâs just our destiny. Regardless, Iâm glad I was able to save you today!
Watching as Gerald then smiled, Noelle found her breath growing rapid as she instantly began blushing slightly.
The corners of her lips slowly curving upward into a beautiful smile, she remained silent for a while before nodding and saying, ââ¦W-well, weâll be heading back first, then! Farewell!â
Though she said that, she didnât budge an inch, her eyes still affixed on Geraldâs.
