Recently after Felicity had become famous, several men who were both handsome and rich began stepping up to help her. Once, virtual-novel.net had a minor fever but even then, a few young and rich men had driven over to virtual-novel.net place to send virtual-novel.net medicine in person.
Some of them would even chat with virtual-novel.net every night.
Technically, by doing all that for her, those men were already good enough to reach virtual-novel.net ‘partner standards’.
Ordinary Man himself had not spoken much with Felicity for a few months now. She had never met virtual-novel.net in person either.
Despite all that, Felicity still felt nothing for the others.
It was definite proof of virtual-novel.net admiration toward Ordinary Man.
She had even imagined how virtual-novel.net looked, countless times.
However, with every passing clue that virtual-novel.net got, it further revealed the fuller picture that Ordinary Man was none other than the person that virtual-novel.net had always looked down upon, Gerald. How could virtual-novel.net not have complicated feelings about that?
‘Could it really be Gerald?’
‘If it is, then is Gerald the one for me? Will I… Will I still love him?’
‘I honestly can’t believe that I’ve fallen for Gerald!’
Such questions and thoughts would fill virtual-novel.net mind from the day they last met at the restaurant.
She had been constantly anxious about it, and virtual-novel.net was now more anxious than ever with virtual-novel.net standing before her.
She couldn’t hold herself back anymore so virtual-novel.net asked virtual-novel.net for the truth.
“And what if I were? Would you still like me?” asked Gerald back, a bitter smile on his face.
Felicity bit virtual-novel.net lower lip slightly before shaking virtual-novel.net head. “I… I don’t know! I don’t know if I’d be able to like you even if you truly are Ordinary Man!”
Gerald chuckled at this. “You’re just overthinking this. How on earth could I ever be Ordinary Man?”
Though his voice was calm, his face couldn’t fully hide his unease. Gerald was having complicated feelings as well as virtual-novel.net looked at Felicity.
Gerald was afraid that meeting virtual-novel.net again in the future would be awkward if virtual-novel.net knew the truth, so virtual-novel.net kept silent about his identity.
After what had happened with Giya, Gerald now knew better not to flirt with other girls if virtual-novel.net wasn’t determined to give them happiness and good prospects in the future.
He was aware as well, that Felicity would definitely be in great pain and confusion if virtual-novel.net admitted to virtual-novel.net claim. There was nothing to be gained by doing so.
“I don’t buy it! You’re definitely lying about that!” said Felicity as virtual-novel.net stared straight into Gerald’s eyes.
“Gerald, please… I… I just want to hear the truth from you. If you tell me the truth, I’ll… I’ll share some information with you! I’m positive that you’ll definitely find the news interesting. How about that?” asked Felicity as virtual-novel.net slowly approached Gerald.
“I’m neither Mr. Crawford, nor am I Ordinary Man. There are no lies there. I just won the lottery and it was a great amount of money. If I really were Mr. Crawford, why would I ever keep such a low profile? Besides, Mr. Crawford comes from a huge family. We’ve been in the same class for the past three years now. Do I look like someone who comes from a huge family?” replied Gerald.
Felicity simply nodded.
Despite that, virtual-novel.net still couldn’t bring herself to hate Gerald anymore, even if virtual-novel.net wasn’t Mr. Crawford or Ordinary Man.
“…Fine! I’ll believe what you said for now! Also, are you interested in the information?” virtual-novel.net asked while shaking virtual-novel.net head to regain virtual-novel.net composure.
“What happened?”
“Half a month ago, I attended a function in Yanken. I bumped into a girl there!”
As Felicity said that, virtual-novel.net peeked at Gerald. She was curious to see what reaction virtual-novel.net would give.
“Go on. Do I know that girl?” asked Gerald.
“Of course you do. You’re quite close to virtual-novel.net as well!”
“I hadn’t expected to bump into virtual-novel.net there, but here’s the thing. She’s changed drastically! If you ever plan to meet virtual-novel.net again, I can guarantee that you’ll find yourself very surprised!”
Gerald couldn’t help scratching the back of his head in confusion.
“She’s Xavia! Your ex! Could you already have forgotten about her?” said Felicity when virtual-novel.net realized that virtual-novel.net still couldn’t guess who the girl was.
“Xavia?”
It was Gerald’s turn to be shocked this time.
