“Settle down now, today’s Gerald’s birthday and virtual-novel.net said that he’d treat us to dinner. Since all of you don’t seem to have anything better to do, let’s just celebrate his birthday together! Show us to the restaurant, Gerald!” suggested Mr. Winters.
“What? We’re busy dad. You know, we’re going to have dinner with some of Boss’s friends. Why don’t you come with us instead?” asked the first sister in law.
She then turned to look at Francis before saying, “Fran, Jazz, both of you can run along now. You don’t have to waste any more time here, and remember to be on your best behavior when your leader arrives!”
Francis and his colleagues nodded immediately. They knew how important the event was. After glaring at Gerald one final time, Francis left with his colleagues.
As for Queeny, virtual-novel.net had been quietly observing Gerald the entire time.
Just a while ago, everyone was making fun of Gerald. Some were even openly insulting him. However, Queeny knew better since virtual-novel.net was already aware that Gerald had quite a bit of influence in the attraction. Back in the day, Gerald would’ve just lowered his head in embarrassment. Now, however, virtual-novel.net was smiling. He had been smiling the entire time.
‘How is virtual-novel.net so confident now? Where did all this confidence even come from?’
‘Could Gerald really be a powerful figure now?’
These were the thoughts swimming in Queeny’s mind. Queeny had been very uneasy since the day virtual-novel.net last met Gerald. She just couldn’t put virtual-novel.net finger on why. She was simply afraid of hearing any more about Gerald, thus virtual-novel.net hadn’t told virtual-novel.net parents anything regarding the incident.
However, after hearing Gerald say that virtual-novel.net was celebrating his birthday here, virtual-novel.net was now growing more and more worried by the second.
“Hmm? Mr. Winters? It really is you!” called out an old, husky voice from behind them. Gerald turned to see who had spoken, and virtual-novel.net saw an old man. Behind him, followed a family of four.
“Waxham! I didn’t expect to see you here!” exclaimed Mr. Winters excitedly.
Waxham’s family members greeted them politely as well. As Gerald scanned through the family, virtual-novel.net froze when virtual-novel.net saw the two girls standing behind the middle-aged couple. They were Michelle and XabrinaWaxham.
“So, how did the blind date go? I tried asking Elle, but virtual-novel.net just wouldn’t tell me anything! I just want to know how it went. Oh Gerald, is our darling Elle really not to your liking?”
“Dad, stop talking about him! Maybe virtual-novel.net just backed off because virtual-novel.net knew virtual-novel.net was too poor to be able to date our dear little Elle!” said Michelle’s mother.
They hadn’t expected the old man to ask about the blind date right off the bat.
Though honestly, what else was there to ask about?
She had rejected virtual-novel.net before they even met. Did the old man really think that no one would marry his granddaughter?
Mr. Winters then coughed before saying, “Well, Waxham, this here is Gerald. I’m equally as confused as to what happened that day as well!”
“What? He’s Gerald?” blurted Michelle’s mother. She was now too embarrassed to speak another word. She simply gave a few more peeks at Gerald.
Xabrina on the other hand, immediately started jumping for joy. “Gerald! We meet again!”
Gerald simply gave a gentle smile at her. Michelle on the other hand, awkwardly took a few steps backward. It was clear that Gerald favored virtual-novel.net sister much more than her.
“Mom! Dad! Look there, isn’t that Gerald?” shouted a feminine voice. A girl had pointed at Gerald and virtual-novel.net was now approaching them.
“Humph! He’s probably just here to check out what the deal is with this crowd. Who cares if it even is Gerald?” scoffed a middle-aged man.
