Chapter 1230
The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1230 Of course, Gerald knew that he was the only one in Milaâs heart and that she wouldnât ever treat other guys the same way she did to himâ¦
Snapping out of it, Gerald reminded himself that it was only three days away till the middle of the month arrived. With that in mind, it was impossible for him not to feel slightly more anxious.
He really needed to discuss the matter with Aiden tonight.
At the very least, the good thing was that he already had a good head start now. Both of them just needed to meet up later to discuss the next stepsâ¦
âYou know, I have a feeling that Gerald isnât actually interested in you, Noelle⦠After all, even though you told him that you wanted to learn a few self-defense techniques, to think that heâd actually forward a public contact number to you!â said Yulisa a little later.
âWhatâs wrong with what he did? I truly am interested in learning, you know? Still, did you see how brave and heroic he looked when he saved us earlier? The more I think about it, the more I feel that thereâs an unknown side to Gerald that we donât know of⦠How truly mysterious!â replied Noelle in a soft tone as she smiled.
ââ¦Oh? Could it be that⦠Youâve already fallen for Gerald just because he saved us once? While I agree that heâs definitely powerful, he most probably isnât rich at all! Even if you truly wish to be together with him with the assumption that itâs simply fate doing its job, what will your family think?â
asked Yulisa, reminding Noelle to carefully consider the pros and cons of her decision.
âI distinctly remember you saying that you didnât want to get into a relationship now since quite a bit is currently happening within your family⦠Honestly though, I think that getting a relationship is exactly what you need to solve your problems! By that, I mean you should get a guy whoâs able to solve your familyâs economic crisis! With that in mind, I think you should be going after Preston rather than Gerald!â
âAfter all, his family owns a public listed company of their own, you know? Theyâre filthy rich! As long as you agree to become his girlfriend, then heâll definitely be able to help resolve your familyâs financial issues. I remind you that getting together with Gerald wonât help you solve anything at all!â explained Yulisa as she carefully analyzed the situation while making her way back together with Noelle.
In all honesty, Noelle wasnât in love with Gerald. She simply felt slightly affectionate toward him. After all, he had left her with a truly favorable impression of him this time around. Aside from that, she was also quite curious about him as a whole.
Though she didnât rule out the possibility of them getting into a relationship upon getting rescued, Noelle had now calmed down considerably, especially after hearing what Yulisa had to say.
While it was true that she still had slight affection and admiration toward Gerald, Noelle was well aware that she had lost the right to choose her partner after what happened to her family last month. Due to that incident, it seemed that she truly had no choice but to look for a rich and powerful person to stay by her side.
As Yulisa had said, a person couldnât really do much without money or the proper connections.
Though Noelle knew that, she had rejected Preston earlier since she wanted to play cat and mouse with him for at least a few more times.
Now, however, she knew that she had to start thinking more about her family and get serious. While she knew that getting together with Preston would definitely help with her familyâs situation, she had no feelings for him at all.
As for Gerald, she was certainly more attracted to him than any of the previous guys she had come across. That much was certain. However, unlike Preston, being together with him wouldnât help her family at all. All this made Noelle feel extremely entangled.
âAre you seriously still thinking about the right choice, Noelle? Remember, itâs your birthday tomorrow night, and you should know that even though you humiliated him today in front of so many people by rejecting his confession, Preston hasnât given up on you yet. Rather, I heard that heâs putting in a lot of effort to get ready for your birthday celebration tomorrow, even though he hasnât even been invited over! With that said, Iâm sure Preston will be overjoyed if you allow him to attend your birthday party!â
said Yulisa.
âI know, I know⦠Regardless, Iâm also planning on inviting someone else to attend my twentieth birthday party!â replied Noelle as she bit her lower lip.
âYou canât possibly be referring to Gerald, can you?â asked Yulisa as her eyes widened.
âWell, no matter what the case is, Gerald still ended up saving both of us today. If it wasnât for him, then who knows what wouldâve eventually become of us! With that in mind, itâs only natural for us to express our gratitude to him, donât you think?â said Noelle as she recalled the moment when Gerald had gently supported her out of the car since she had injured her leg. The memory of that alone was enough to make her frozen heart slowly begin to melt!
Both of them then continued chatting before eventually returning to their dorms and telling their roommates that they were safe.
Since the two girls werenât all that interested in actually learning self-defense techniques in the first place, Yulisa simply deleted the number right off the bat.
Later that night, Yulisaâs head began hurting rather badly. Assuming that it was due to an injury she suffered when the car had suddenly hit the brakes earlier, Noelle and the others quickly brought her to a nearby hospital for a check-up.
It was around then when Gerald received a birthday invitation message from Noelle.
Just as Aiden had predicted, it seemed that Gerald truly would be able to obtain the invigorating blood that he needed tomorrow. Since it was already extremely close to the middle of the month, that was very good news. As for the Zircobsite stone⦠Gerald could almost feel it in his hands nowâ¦
