“Fine! Alright, I’m the one wrong here! Just relax already!” shouted Leila who was so aggrieved that virtual-novel.net was already on the brink of tears.
No one had ever scolded virtual-novel.net like this and when virtual-novel.net heard Gerald cursing at her, virtual-novel.net felt as though virtual-novel.net had done something terribly wrong. She immediately started blaming herself for it.
It didn’t take much longer for virtual-novel.net tears to start flowing down virtual-novel.net cheeks.
She just wasn’t used to so much self-reproach coupled with the shame of being scolded.
When Gerald saw virtual-novel.net crying, virtual-novel.net felt a slight pang of guilt in his heart. Maybe virtual-novel.net had been a bit too rough on her.
After all, the main reason why virtual-novel.net had shouted profanities at virtual-novel.net was because Willie and Leia’s names struck a nerve in him.
He softened his tone a little before saying, “I really need some rest, I’ve been up all night. I can hail a taxi for you if you want!”
“I’m not leaving!” said Leia as virtual-novel.net tried to stomp virtual-novel.net hurt foot. Now it was virtual-novel.net turn to start losing virtual-novel.net temper.
She then slowly limped toward the Ofo bike that Gerald had parked before standing there with virtual-novel.net arms crossed.
This girl…
Gerald wasn’t going to get any sleep at this rate! And it was too awkward for virtual-novel.net to scold virtual-novel.net a second time! Gerald sighed as virtual-novel.net considered virtual-novel.net earlier suggestion to send virtual-novel.net back on the bicycle.
“…Alright, fine. If you really don’t mind, I’ll give you a lift home with the bicycle,” said Gerald as virtual-novel.net nodded in resignation.
“Yes!” shouted Leila victoriously
She sat on the bicycle’s back seat and held on to Gerald’s clothes with one hand.
“I never knew that you knew how to ride a bicycle, Gerald! I still don’t know how to cycle yet!” said Leila.
“Heh, weren’t you the one who mocked me back then? Saying that only hillbillies rode bicycles? ” said Gerald with a laugh.
“I…”
Leila blushed, remembering how Gerald used to ride a bicycle to virtual-novel.net house when they were still kids.
Back then. It was Uncle Dylan who had brought Gerald to virtual-novel.net house with his bicycle.
Now, it was virtual-novel.net turn.
The funniest thing was, it was more comfortable than sitting in Douglas’ Sedan. She felt so perplexed!
Seeing virtual-novel.net reactions from the side mirrors, Gerald was reminded of a saying.
It was better to cry in a BMW than to laugh on a bicycle.
To Gerald, the vehicle itself didn’t matter much. The important thing was who maneuvered it.
After chatting while cycling for a while, both of them eventually arrived at their destination.
Upon entering, Gerald was surprised that Willie Jung’s house was already very crowded even though it was just nine in the morning.
Willie himself was sitting on one of the couches, his palms placed against his forehead. Something was definitely worrying him.
The expression that Leia was making only solidified Gerald’s assumption.
Sitting opposite of Willie were a few middle-aged people, whom Gerald assumed were his colleagues. They seemed to be trying to advise virtual-novel.net on something.
Even that b*stard Douglas was there. Beside him, sat a middle-aged man that resembled Douglas a lot.
When virtual-novel.net turned to look at Leila, virtual-novel.net looked arguably more confused than virtual-novel.net was.
After sticking around for a little while more, Gerald heard enough to somewhat make sense of what was happening.
Apparently, Willie had gotten himself into trouble again, and virtual-novel.net didn’t even know what virtual-novel.net had done wrong! However, the more pressing issue was that virtual-novel.net had been transferred to another department as a clerical section chief! He was devastated.
“Um… Mom, dad, look who’s here!” said Leila at that moment.
Gerald was a different person now, so virtual-novel.net held virtual-novel.net in high regard.
“Heh, hey dad, look over there. That’s Gerald, the one I told you about before. Look how close virtual-novel.net is to Leila! And don’t let his appearance fool you, I saw virtual-novel.net withdrawing ninety thousand dollars from the bank in cold hard cash the other day! Guess there’s no reason for us to stay any longer! Not that we’re able to help Mr. Jung anyway. Let’s go!” said Douglas as virtual-novel.net glared at Gerald coldly while tugging his father’s sleeve.
“Alright, we’ll be taking our leave. You should be able to figure all of this out on your own, Mr. Jung,” said Douglas’s father before getting up with a nod.
“Please don’t leave, Mr. Lindt! He’s no guest of ours, you are!”
Willie then turned to look at his daughter, his eyes fierce as a tiger’s. He glared at virtual-novel.net like virtual-novel.net was a total disappointment before shouting angrily, “What were you thinking, Leila?! Why did you bring this son of a b*tch home?!”
