To Giya, virtual-novel.net request was fairly simple.
She understood that virtual-novel.net wasn’t perfect, but was virtual-novel.net so bad that Gerald didn’t even want to look at virtual-novel.net for one final time?
Still, it made virtual-novel.net feel a little better since virtual-novel.net was still willing to consider virtual-novel.net favor.
From virtual-novel.net point of view as a girl, though fulfilling the request wouldn’t entirely grant virtual-novel.net contentment, it was the only way for virtual-novel.net to completely end virtual-novel.net relationship with Gerald.
She wasn’t really trying to conspire anything bad at all.
Giya simply wanted Gerald to do something for her. To prove that virtual-novel.net still cared for her. With any luck, virtual-novel.net hoped that that would finally be able to satisfy her.
That was the gist of why virtual-novel.net had made that request.
However, Gerald was visibly hesitant about agreeing to it.
While virtual-novel.net had pretended to be other peoples’ boyfriends before in the past, those favors weren’t too hard for virtual-novel.net to handle. It was the least virtual-novel.net could do to help out his friends.
However, faking a marriage was a completely different thing. It would be something actually difficult for Gerald to pull off.
While virtual-novel.net could choose to refuse virtual-novel.net request, virtual-novel.net acknowledged that virtual-novel.net had indeed promised to fulfill a single request from virtual-novel.net before this.
What more, virtual-novel.net held no grudges against Giya. Gerald himself was honestly still holding on to both his feelings of gratitude and regret toward her.
“Really though, it’s just a fake marriage! I won’t ask for anything more after that. I’ll need about a day to get ready for it, but before that, tell me. Are you willing to fulfill my request? Again, I repeat my promise that as long as you do this for me this time, I won’t bother you ever again in the future!” said Giya as virtual-novel.net eyes began to water.
“..Mmm… Um…”
After a long, agonizing pause, Gerald finally nodded in agreement.
“…However, I have one condition!” Added Gerald.
“Go on!” replied Giya as virtual-novel.net bit virtual-novel.net lower lip.
After considering his words for a while, Gerald finally said, “Apart from the Long and Owens family, nobody else should know about the fake marriage!”
“I agree with your term!”
After saying that, virtual-novel.net took in a deep breath before putting on a somber expression on virtual-novel.net face.
“…Alright then, Mr. Crawford. I won’t take any more of your time today. It will be held tomorrow and don’t worry about the arrangements. I’ll handle the rest myself!”
Upon ending virtual-novel.net sentence, Giya and Tammy then left.
Gerald on the other hand, laid down on his bed as soon as virtual-novel.net got back to his hotel room. He was dead tired and wanted to at least get a short rest.
Sometime while virtual-novel.net was resting, virtual-novel.net heard a knock on the door. When virtual-novel.net opened it, virtual-novel.net was greeted by the old man.
“Grandson!”
“Mr. Quick! Why are you here?” asked Gerald as virtual-novel.net subtly smiled.
The old man standing before virtual-novel.net was no ordinary person. In fact, virtual-novel.net was no longer a beggar either.
Since Mr. Quick had helped virtual-novel.net back then, in return, Gerald had treated virtual-novel.net extremely well.
Not only did Gerald promise to take virtual-novel.net back to his hometown in Salford, virtual-novel.net even gave virtual-novel.net money and ordered his men to take good care of him.
After getting to know virtual-novel.net a little better, virtual-novel.net also received the old man’s name. His full name was Finnley Quick, a name that sounded quite imposing.
Perhaps it was Mr. Quick’s old age that made Gerald feel like virtual-novel.net was quite muddle-headed. Gerald found it hard at times to distinguish which of what Mr. Quick said was true or false.
Gerald pitied virtual-novel.net very much.
Regardless, virtual-novel.net was surprised that Mr. Quick hadn’t gone back yet. The old man was quite mysterious. He could precisely locate Gerald wherever virtual-novel.net was every time!
“You said we were going back together!” replied Mr. Quick with a smile.
“I… Well yes, I’ll be going to Salford, but only tomorrow or the day after!”
“That’s quite fine by me. I’ll wait for you! Also, if you don’t mind me being a burden, I could even help you!” The smile on Mr. Quick’s face remained as virtual-novel.net said that.
“Alright, alright, I understand, Mr. Quick… For now, you should probably get some rest first. I’ll pay for your meals from the past few days soon!” said Gerald as virtual-novel.net shook his head with a slightly bitter smile.
“I’ll be waiting for you then! Remember, either tomorrow or the day after!” replied Mr. Quick as virtual-novel.net left the room enthusiastically.
Naturally, Gerald wasn’t going to allow the old man to go searching by himself.
After all, Mr. Quick had already helped virtual-novel.net a few times, and Gerald was truly grateful for his help.
He remembered the time when virtual-novel.net was surrounded in the hotel. Had Mr. Quick not rushed over to save him, who knows what would have become of him?
