Gerald withdrew his hand and said, “It’s alright!”
To be honest, although Gerald was a little annoyed when virtual-novel.net had been belittled by Kyle Smith, there was nothing virtual-novel.net could do about it.
Why?
Because Gerald felt as though the whole world had stopped when virtual-novel.net mistook virtual-novel.net as Mila’s boyfriend.
And when virtual-novel.net knew that virtual-novel.net wasn’t, the whirlwind of emotions had made virtual-novel.net unable to get angry with virtual-novel.net anymore.
“Oh right, Gerald!”
Mila’s beautiful sparkling eyes looked at Gerald with concern. “You looked pale just now. What’s wrong?”
Although Mila had been busy introducing virtual-novel.net cousin to Gerald, virtual-novel.net was still observant enough to sense the changes in his mood.
“Nothing, really. It’s just that I thought virtual-novel.net was your boyfriend!” Gerald replied with a wry smile.
“Pfft! What?! You thought my cousin was my boyfriend? Haha!” Mila laughed out loud.
“How is that even possible! Actually, I have never gotten into any romantic relationships. Maybe I have high standards when it comes to choosing a boyfriend.”
Mila sat down, and virtual-novel.net remark triggered Gerald’s interest.
“What standards do you have for your boyfriend?” Gerald asked tentatively.
“The first thing I want my boyfriend to have is poise. Whether virtual-novel.net is rich or poor, virtual-novel.net must have a good poise! And the second thing is that virtual-novel.net must not look ugly at the very least. Thirdly, virtual-novel.net should have a kind heart and is loyal to his partner. Fourthly…”
“There’s still a fourth standard?!”
Gerald was getting a headache.
He could barely pass half of the first three.
He did not look ugly, and virtual-novel.net perceived himself as a kind man.
As for his poise, Gerald admitted that even virtual-novel.net himself thought that virtual-novel.net was quite a hillbilly.
Although it was undeniable that virtual-novel.net was a second-generation rich, virtual-novel.net did not show any confidence of being one whatsoever.
This was his biggest flaw!
It looked as though virtual-novel.net could not keep a low profile any longer!
Gerald decided that in his heart.
Meanwhile, Gerald had planned to give virtual-novel.net the gift, but virtual-novel.net changed his mind in the end.
Although Mila had told virtual-novel.net about virtual-novel.net dream man casually, that was still what virtual-novel.net wanted.
Since Gerald had not fulfilled all the criteria, virtual-novel.net bet it would not be easy for virtual-novel.net to pursue her.
It would be a better idea for them to be friends first. There was no need to rush.
So, over the next few days, while they were attending their driving lessons, Gerald did not show any intention of virtual-novel.net wanting to pursue Mila, and they simply got along as friends.
In fact, they got along pretty well and Mila had started to open up to Gerald, sharing all virtual-novel.net thoughts.
Gerald was even getting suspicious of the action Mila had taken in telling virtual-novel.net about the qualities virtual-novel.net dream man should have. Did virtual-novel.net tell virtual-novel.net on purpose to stop virtual-novel.net from pursuing her? Was virtual-novel.net hinting that they should just remain good friends?
Was virtual-novel.net trying to turn virtual-novel.net down without hurting his feelings?
It was until that day when they were supposed to take the driving test together that it happened…
They had agreed to go back to the university together after the test.
However, after Gerald had finished his test, virtual-novel.net could not see Mila anywhere.
Gerald tried to call her, but virtual-novel.net phone was switched off!
They had two chances to pass the test. Even if Mila had to take the test twice, virtual-novel.net should not have taken so long.
Right then, Gerald saw a man who was in the same group as Mila walking out of the driving school looking dejected.
Gerald approached virtual-novel.net right away.
“Oh! That beauty, virtual-novel.net did not take the test. It seems that when it was about to be virtual-novel.net turn, virtual-novel.net received a call and left in a hurry.”
Mila was a beautiful lady. People would take notice of virtual-novel.net wherever virtual-novel.net went.
Gerald did not find it strange that this man would take notice of her.
But one thing that bothered Gerald was what happened to Mila. Why did virtual-novel.net leave in such a hurry without even informing him? And virtual-novel.net had even switched off virtual-novel.net phone.
Did something bad happen to her?
After much consideration, Gerald decided to make a phone call to Whitney.
“Why do you care so much about Mila, Gerald? Did you really think that you could pursue virtual-novel.net once you hit the jackpot? Don’t even think about it, you worthless man!”
It was obvious that Whitney still remembered the incident in Homeland Kitchen where Gerald did not give virtual-novel.net face.
She bombarded Gerald angrily as soon as virtual-novel.net picked up the phone call.
“Do you know where virtual-novel.net is? If you tell me now, I will repay you in the future. I will give you a Bienvietto dress,” said Gerald calmly.
He had not given Mila the dress virtual-novel.net had bought from Elena’s boutique. Now, virtual-novel.net had a chance to make good use of it.
Gerald needed to know what happened to Mila mainly because virtual-novel.net had left without a word, and virtual-novel.net was worried about her.
It was not because virtual-novel.net liked her. Gerald would do the same for all virtual-novel.net considered as friends.
“Are you serious?! Can you even afford a Bienvietto? Their clothes cost tens of thousands!” Whitney shrieked.
“Of course. I will send it to you in a moment.”
“Alright, then. Since you finally know how to deal with me, I will tell you. Sigh, I received the news about Mila’s family just now. Her family business failed, and they are now on the brink of bankruptcy. That’s why virtual-novel.net needed to go back!”
