Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 1997

Shaking his head as he watched his daughter walk off, Tanner could only smile rather awkwardly as he turned to face Gerald before saying, “…Please don’t take her childishness to heart, Gerald!”

Naturally, Gerald wasn’t going to. After all, had he truly wanted to pick a fight with her earlier, he wouldn’t have gone easy in the first place. As the saying went, ‘true gentlemen didn’t fight with women,’

and Gerald fully agreed with that.

Regardless, he wasn’t even going to bother further arguing with Yalinda. Either way, with that done, Tanner got Gerald and Yale a rather spacious room to stay the night in…

It was later that night when Yale sat on his bed before saying with a wink, “Say, what do you think of Miss Juans, brother Gerald?”

Turning to look at Yale with a slightly raised brow, Gerald then replied, “What? Do you have a crush on her or something? If you do, go ahead and woo her without involving me!”

“A-as if I’d even consider such a thing! Besides, she’d never fall for someone like me! Regardless, I’m asking this for you! After all, with your immense strength, you’ll definitely be able to win the heart of a woman like her!” exclaimed Yale.

Upon hearing that, Gerald simply rolled his eyes. After all, he knew for a fact that Yalinda was as stubborn as a mule when she put her mind to something. Feeling a headache coming the more he thought about her, Gerald simply sighed before saying, “Look, I’m not someone like her!”

Gerald wasn’t kidding about that either. Not wanting to continue the pointless conversation, Gerald then laid in bed, looking at the ceiling for a while before eventually closing his eyes…

Dozing off shortly after, it was only the next morning when he awoke again due to the sounds of vigorous knocking…

Still slightly dazed, Yale—who had also awoken due to all the noise—was prompted to ask, “Who is it…

2” “It’s Yalinda! Open up!” called out Yalinda from behind the door.

Hearing that, Yale got out of bed and quickly ran to the door…

The second it was opened, Yalinda rushed toward Gerald, leaving Yale—who was still standing at the door—completely at a loss.

Naturally, Gerald was surprised as well. After all, it was still extremely early.

‘Could she be looking for trouble again…?’ Gerald thought to himself as he turned to look at her.

“So… why exactly are you here this early in the morning, Miss Juans? Are you hoping to duel with me again…?” asked Gerald in a helpless tone.

Upon hearing that, Yalinda didn’t reply. Instead, she immediately knelt before Gerald! Cupping her hands together, Yalinda then respectfully said, “Please take me as your disciple…!”

Of course, Gerald was instantly stunned to hear that. Who could’ve guessed that she, of all people, would want him to be her master!

It took him a while, but once he snapped out of his confusion, Gerald—who had no idea what was going through her head—was prompted to ask, “…And why me specifically?”

“Because you’re much more powerful than me!” replied Yalinda causing Gerald to go speechless. What kind of reasoning even was that? Then again, her words did make slight sense… After all, powerful people were always looked up to and even worshiped by others.

Still, that would signify that Yalinda was a simple and crude person, and Gerald knew for a fact that she wasn’t someone who liked fawning on others.

With that in mind, Gerald paused for a moment before eventually saying, “…Even so, I’m not looking to take in any disciples.”

“ll keep asking till you accept me then!” declared Yalinda, her determination unwavering.

Realizing that she was just going to continue annoying him, Gerald sighed before saying, “…Just…

give me some time to consider it at least!”
