Chapter 1229

Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1229 Gerald truly hadn’t expected that Noelle would behave word for word like how Aiden had predicted.

After all, Aiden had told Gerald that goddesses like her enjoyed playing games of cat and mouse.

In other words, they really enjoyed the process of being pursued. They particularly liked it when the ones they were after truly seemed to care for them.

With that in mind, according to Aiden’s guess, even if Gerald truly had saved Noelle’s life today, she still wouldn’t take the initiative to hand him her contact number. The most she would do was chat briefly with him before turning to leave. Of course, she wouldn’t actually leave right off the bat. Instead, she would wait around a little to wait for Gerald to ask her to stay instead.

This was the reason why it was oftentimes so difficult to pursue most goddesses. After all, what such girls truly enjoyed was the process of being pursued and sought after.

Regardless, each and every one of Noelle’s actions were nearly identical to what Aiden had predicted.

Seeing that, Gerald then proceeded to relay the script that Aiden had earlier shared with him.

Nodding with a nonchalant expression on his face, Gerald then replied, “Indeed. Since both of you got injured earlier, it’d do you good to get some well-deserved rest. I’ll be taking my leave as well since I still need to prepare a special gift for a friend of mine by today. Now if you’ll excuse me, farewell!”

After saying that, Gerald slowly turned around and began walking away, calmly. Now then, if what Adrian had told him was correct, Noelle would definitely call out to him at the count of five…

‘One… Two… Three…’

As soon as Gerald counted ‘five’ in his mind, Noelle suddenly shouted, “…Hold on, Gerald! Gerald, wait for a second!”

…Seriously?!

“…Yes? What is it, Noelle?” asked Gerald.

“Well… Where exactly did you learn your skills, Gerald…? If it’s possible, I’d like to learn some simple self-defense techniques for women! Would you happen to have any recommendations for me…?”

asked Noelle.

Hearing that, Yulisa nodded as well before adding, “I-I’d like to learn as well!”

“…Oh? Is that so? Well, I could give you a public contact number through WhatsApp if you’d like… It belongs to my friend and he’s always up to date with such skills!”

By this point, Gerald felt that he truly understood these girls’ hearts now. The sentences that Aiden had taught him truly were effective, especially the one that involved him saying that he needed to go prepare a special gift for his friend.

In a way, saying that allowed him to counter the cat and mouse game tactic. Waiting till now to say it was also particularly impactful since he had already played the role of the hero who saved the two beauties.

Aiden’s account was called ‘Practical Tactical’, and Aiden frequently shared information about fighting and martial arts skills there. While Gerald could have just told them the name of the account for them to —rather easily—search for it, Gerald asked to be friends on their WhatsApp accounts instead in order for him to forward Aiden’s contact information to them.

However, just as Adrian had anticipated, the girls simply obliged without question. Gerald could now say for certain that the two girls wanting to learn self-defense techniques was nothing but an excuse.

All Noelle was really after was a capable guy by her side who was interested in her, just like Gerald. As long as he kept pursuing her in a considerate manner, Noelle would surely open up more to him eventually.

With that in mind, after parting ways with the girls, Gerald couldn’t help but admire Aiden for having such effective tactics on hand.

At the same time, he couldn’t help but wonder why he hadn’t understood Mila’s heart better in the beginning. In the old days, both of them would speak over the phone every night, and eventually, Mila would always be the first to say that she wanted to head to bed.

Of course, being as dense as he was back then, Gerald would always wish her good night almost immediately, telling her to sleep well before heading to bed. Why hadn’t he realized back then that Mila actually wanted him to ask her to stay a little longer?

It was now evident to him that she had constantly wanted him to think more about her. To spend more time with her. In a way, it was her way of testing how significant she was in Gerald’s heart!
