The Secretly Rich Man
Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 646
While Giya was looking at Mila, jealousy reflected in her eyes, very strong emotions were also overflowing in Milaâs heart.
âYou⦠Youâve let me down! You disappoint me greatly Gerald! I donât ever want to see you again!â
shouted Mila as she shoved Gerald harshly before turning around.
Mila then ran away while covering her mouth as Wanda scowled, âYou disgusting sc*mbag! So what if youâre rich?!â
Even she couldnât help but scold Gerald in Milaâs place.
After all, they were all girls. They would definitely resent sc*mbags like him!
Gerald himself had gone pale from anxiety. He simply couldnât imagine why Mila had suddenly made her appearance there and then. However, that could wait.
Gerald immediately began chasing after her.
Giya was also facing an onslaught of complicated emotions. Since she couldnât process all of it at once, she simply redirected all her feelings into anger.
With Gerald now gone, she simply turned around and re-entered the hotel.
It was sometime later when Mila and her friends were all huddled together in Milaâs bedroom.
Seeing Gerald standing outside, Molly drew the curtains back slightly before saying, âMila, please donât cry anymore⦠That man still has some kind of conscience. He rushed all the way here and heâs now standing outside your house!â
âJust tell him to leave already! I donât ever want to see his face again!â wailed Mila as she hugged both of her knees while crying in bed.
Her friends could only look at each other. While all of them were angry, they were simultaneously thinking of how pitiful Mila was.
Mila had, after all, been thinking about Gerald this entire time. She had even wanted to meet him first above all else upon returning to Mayberry! In the end, however, she had to witness such a terrible scene with her very own eyes.
âHumph! Iâll go downstairs and demand a clear explanation from him!â said Molly, her voice slightly anxious as she descended the stairs.
âAre you that sc*mbag, Gerald?â asked Molly coldly, her hands on her waist.
âI am. Is Mila alright? Everything you saw was just a misunderstanding!â said Gerald, getting straight to the point.
âMisunderstanding? All of us saw it clearly! That woman was intimately locking arms with you in the hotel earlier. How could any of that be a misunderstanding? Are you going to tell me now that your entire engagement with her is a fake?â
âBefore that, are you Milaâs colleague from Hong Kong? And yes, everything was faked. Could you please tell Mila that?â
âIâm not going to tell her anything. Who knows if youâre telling the truth? Donât even try anything funny, Iâve already seen several tricks used by sc*mbags before! Regardless, youâre an extremely greedy person! You already have a girlfriend yet you still yearn for other girls!â
âQuite frankly, I donât care whether youâre telling the truth or not. Iâm not sure if youâre aware of this, but do you know how well Mila treats you Gerald? There are countless people at the television station who have tried to gain her affection, you know?â
âHowever, she knew that she had you, and she was satisfied and grateful for that. Because of that, she was always extremely careful whenever she dealt with her admirers. Whenever anyone tried to overstep their boundaries, she would immediately reject them mercilessly!â
âIâm sure youâre aware that youâre currently in a long-distance relationship with Mila. If Mila had wanted to have an ambiguous relationship with any of the guys there without your knowledge, itâs not like youâd be able to find out. However, she stood her ground every time, making sure to be both cold and aloof toward every guy who had ever tried to woo her. Now, she doesnât have a single male friend at our television station! Are you even aware of any of that?â explained Molly angrily.
While it was true that she could have refrained from saying those hurtful words, she found no real reason not to hold back.
She simply felt that the entire situation was unfair for Mila.
âIâm well aware!â replied Gerald as he nodded.
While he definitely already knew how committed Mila was as a girlfriend, hearing the extent of how much she valued him made him touched. Simultaneously, it also made him filled with a deep sense of self-reproach.
What Molly said was right. Mila had always treated him the same way.
Gerald on the other hand, had crossed the line a few times before during incidents that involved him helping his friends. However, when it rained, it poured, and each of those incidents always ended up with him going too far.
However, Mila could refrain from having any male friends at all, just for Geraldâs sake.
âWhy canât I make less contact with girls for Milaâs sake as well?â
At the end of the day, Gerald just couldnât help but feel guilty. He just hoped that he could explain himself well enough for Mila to potentially forgive him.
ââ¦Either way, that really was a fake engagement⦠See, that girl from earlier? Sheâs just a friend of mineâ¦â
After that, Gerald then slowly detailed everything that had led to that incident to Molly.
Molly kept her gaze fixed on Geraldâs eyes the entire time. By the time he was finally done explaining, she realized that he really wasnât lying.
âCould he really be telling the truth? Then again⦠Thereâs one more thing that doesnât add up. Letâs see how you explain yourself out of that.â
