Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 703
âOh? Who could you be planning to give all that to?â asked Gerald as he continued smiling.
Gerald was rightfully curious since this was the first time he had ever seen this side of Marven.
âHaha⦠Between you and me, itâs a girl I have a crush on! Sheâs from the Taekwondo society which is going to hold a tournament very soon! Since sheâs been training so hard, I thought of buying some food to keep her well-nourished!â replied Marven, a huge grin on his face.
Hearing that, Gerald felt happy for Marven. While Marven was one of the smarter people, his feelings were still simple and honest.
Since they were now rather close friends anyway, Gerald decided to tag along.
Eventually, they arrived at the Taekwondo society. Inside, quite a number of people were busy training.
Scanning around while hugging all the food he had bought in his arms, Marven finally found the person he was looking for. The girl he had a crush on was stunning, to say the least.
âHahaha! Look whoâs here, Raquel! That fatty is here to bring you food again!â said a few of the members who had earlier been training.
They had stopped for a brief moment when they saw Marven and Gerald entering. The members who had said that were now all pointing toward Marven in a mocking manner.
Gerald had realized that not many people in the school actually saw Marven as a friend. He had also noticed that there was barely anyone who looked up to him either.
âHow dedicated he is! Who else would do the things he does for you on a daily basis, Raquel? Go be this good manâs girlfriend already!â said a few other girls who then started mocking Raquel as well.
Raquel was an attractive looking girl, so she felt insulted when she heard the girlsâ remarks. Instead of taking her dissatisfaction out on them, however, she instead began stomping toward the short and chubby Marven, glaring at him the entire time.
âMarven, havenât I already told you not to come here anymore? Your presence here only serves to bother and disgust me!â yelled Raquel as she fumed.
âBut Raquel, Iâm just worried that youâre overtraining yourself! A little food will definitely help you get back some well-needed energy!â replied Marven as he extended the food in his arms out for her to take.
The only response he received was a swift swipe which sent all the food in his hands falling to the floor!
âI donât need any of your d*mn food! Iâve told you time and again to stop coming here! So just leave already!â
Seeing that Marven was rooted to the spot in shock, Raquel only found herself growing even more furious by the second.
By then, a crowd had surrounded them. All of them were simultaneously booing at Marven.
âSince when have you become like this, Raquelâ¦? Youâve never treated me this way before!â said Marven, his eyes slightly watery as he looked at all the scattered food on the floor.
âHave you lost your marbles? I told you to get out already!â yelled Raquel as she shoved him hard.
Caught by surprise, Marven found himself spinning in his attempt to maintain his balance. Ultimately, he failed to do so and fell face-first into the floor!
âHahaha! Look at him! Heâs just like a turtle thatâs tumbled over! Check out those short limbs of his!â
âHah! Yeah, to think that a guy like you even dares to go after Raquel⦠In your dreams pal, in your dreams⦠Still, itâs no wonder Raquel likes-â
The girl immediately ended her sentence midway, barely avoiding stepping on a landmine.
âIâm sick of having to see you every day!â roared Raquel as she kicked all the food Marven had bought away before turning around to leave.
âHey now, donât you think youâre overdoing it?â shouted Gerald.
âAre you even aware of how much Marven thinks about you and your training? He only wants whatâs best for you! Even if you donât like him, what gives you the right to treat him like this?â added Gerald, this time his voice getting increasingly furious.
âLike this concerns you in any way! I can treat him however the hell I like! After all, heâs the one whoâs embarrassing me here! And what about you? Why are you even still here? Scram already!â
With her anger reignited, Raquel was just about to launch a few more punches on Marven when Gerald swiftly stepped in front of him and pushed her away!
Infuriated, Raquel retaliated by kicking Gerald right in the chest!
Gerald had honestly not expected this girl to be so impulsive, and he ended up falling on his butt.
It was at that moment when Raquel realized that she really was being a bit too much.
