Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 774

To a girl with such a massive ego as Alice, that had undoubtedly been a huge blow to her.

Gerald simply couldn’t ignore the fact that he was truly the one at fault that time.

Shaking his head, he then headed out to get the two bottles of red wine they had requested.

To his surprise, once both of them got their drinks and started downing the wine, Hillary told Gerald to help them pack their suitcases as well.

It was as though he personally worked for them or something. Fortunately, Alice had other things on her mind so her eyes never really focused on him.

By the time he was done packing everything for them, both bottles of red wine were now empty.

Though Alice was clearly tipsy at this point, she still insisted on having more wine. Gerald had no choice but to heed her orders.

Just as Gerald was finally prepared to leave, however, Alice started retching before flopping to the floor!

She had obviously drunk far too much, far too quickly. Hillary herself had already retired for the night by the end of the second bottle, and was now lying on her bed, unconscious.

“Drink! I still want to drink!” said Alice between sobs.

Though he really wanted to just leave already, Gerald simply couldn’t bear seeing Alice in such a state.

As he walked over to her, he assured himself that he was only lending her a helping hand out of guilt, and not out of affection.

“After all, Alice would’ve been living a happy life now if it wasn’t for me…”

As he lifted her in his arms, Gerald then said, “Alright, that’s enough drinking for tonight… There’s still work to be done tomorrow, so rest early!”

Once she was on her bed, he was about to blanket her when Alice suddenly grabbed onto his wrist.

“G-Gerald…? Is that really you…?” asked Alice, her eyes hazy and filled with tears as she looked at him.

“…I’m afraid you’ve got the wrong person!” replied Gerald as he immediately tried to pry her fingers off.

“Y-you’re finally willing to see me again…! I have so many things to tell you… Don’t leave yet! Please, listen to me!” added Alice, her grip surprisingly tight for a drunk person.

Gerald didn’t even know if she was simply speaking nonsense at this point.

“I… I know that it’s impossible for both of us to ever get together again… Trust me that I’ve tried everything I could think of to forget about you… I’ve even tried starting a new relationship just to finally be able to let go… But no matter what I do, all I ever think about is still you! It’s improbable, but I… I just hope that you’ll one day change your mind…”

“I’m really not the casual kind of girl you see me as… You know, I’ve kept myself a virgin just so that both of us could still have a chance one day! Just… Please… Please give me another chance, Gerald!”

said Alice, refusing to let go of him.

Upon hearing her reasoning behind why she remained a virgin, Gerald couldn’t help but feel slightly moved by her conviction. However, he remained adamant that he didn’t like her anymore.
