“Xavia’s in Yanken?”
He was stunned just hearing that name again. He hadn’t heard from virtual-novel.net for months.
He felt a sudden excruciating pain in his heart.
After all, virtual-novel.net had been a couple with Xavia for two years. His memories at Mayberry University mostly consisted of both of them being together. However, virtual-novel.net had severely hurt his feelings. At one point, Gerald felt only resentment toward her.
After virtual-novel.net revealed his identity as Mr. Crawford to her, virtual-novel.net became quite cold toward Xavia.
She received such a great blow from that, that virtual-novel.net dropped out of university.
Since that happened, any resentment virtual-novel.net had for virtual-novel.net ceased to exist.
He was instead filled with self-reproach.
In the past, virtual-novel.net had nothing. Yet Xavia didn’t dislike virtual-novel.net for that. She still chose to be with him.
They had their meals together, and even went shopping together.
While it was true that Xavia had changed in the end, virtual-novel.net was much better compared to Alice and the others.
After all, virtual-novel.net hadn’t been disgusted with virtual-novel.net for being poor. That was what touched Gerald back then since most girls naturally preferred rich partners.
His coldness back then literally ruined virtual-novel.net future, to the point where virtual-novel.net could not even complete virtual-novel.net studies at the university.
Gerald had pondered before about getting someone to look for Xavia. If virtual-novel.net was able to find her, virtual-novel.net could provide virtual-novel.net with a job that had a steady income and good prospects. He would be able to rest much easier if virtual-novel.net knew virtual-novel.net could still sustain herself.
However, Gerald gave up on that idea because virtual-novel.net felt that virtual-novel.net would hate virtual-novel.net even more if virtual-novel.net ever found out.
“What kind of response even is that? Are you happy? Excited? Or maybe you’re just blaming yourself in your head now?” Felicity asked curiously.
“How is virtual-novel.net now? Is virtual-novel.net doing well?” asked Gerald, ignoring virtual-novel.net question.
“Oh, you don’t have to worry about her. Honestly, she’s doing great! She’s living such a good life that it’ll definitely be beyond your expectations. Before we parted ways, virtual-novel.net told me that she’ll return to Mayberry one day to retrieve what she’s lost there!”
“She had quite a scary expression on virtual-novel.net face as virtual-novel.net said that. When I asked virtual-novel.net about it, virtual-novel.net didn’t say anything else regarding the matter. Speaking of which, Gerald, why did Xavia drop out of university?”
Back then, Xavia had told virtual-novel.net to pass a message to Gerald. Felicity, however, was uninterested in anything related to Gerald so virtual-novel.net simply kept the message to herself.
Of course, things were much different now, plus virtual-novel.net was curious about what Xavia had meant.
“I wonder…” said Gerald, a bitter smile on his face.
She had announced that virtual-novel.net would retrieve what virtual-novel.net had lost in Mayberry… Xavia was definitely going to have virtual-novel.net revenge on Gerald.
What on earth had Xavia gone through throughout the past few months?
Gerald had no idea where to even begin speculating. However, one thing was for sure. Xavia was doing great and that was all that mattered to him.
“Well, it’s fine if you don’t want to talk about it. I’ll just find out when virtual-novel.net finally returns one day!” said Felicity before sighing.
“Alright, that’s enough chit chat! I need to finish up my makeup for the live broadcast this afternoon!”
“Alright!” said Gerald as virtual-novel.net nodded his head. As virtual-novel.net was about to walk out of the office, Felicity called out to him. As virtual-novel.net waited for virtual-novel.net to say something, virtual-novel.net walked up to virtual-novel.net before blocking the door with virtual-novel.net arms spread out.
“Also, Gerald. I hope that you’ll promise me one thing since I’m helping you this time around.”
“What is it?”
“You can’t marry before I learn who Ordinary Man’s true identity is. That’s my only request. Is that possible?” asked Felicity as virtual-novel.net bit virtual-novel.net lower lip.
She didn’t even understand why virtual-novel.net was asking for such an absurd thing from Gerald.
‘Could this possibly mean that I’ve fallen for virtual-novel.net since I know that he’s most probably Ordinary Man?’
‘If Gerald really is Ordinary Man and virtual-novel.net marries someone else… What would happen?’
Felicity didn’t want to have to feel such bitter remorse. As virtual-novel.net pondered virtual-novel.net own question a bit more, virtual-novel.net realized that that must have been the reason why virtual-novel.net had told virtual-novel.net to make such a promise.
She still wasn’t even sure if virtual-novel.net truly loved Gerald.
After hearing Felicity’s request, Gerald looked at virtual-novel.net in surprise.
“Don’t get any misunderstandings. I don’t like you, I’m just looking for an answer!” said Felicity.
“Alright, you have my promise!”
In all honesty, Gerald was still feeling slightly flustered after hearing Xavia’s name again.
