Meanwhile, Gerald had been putting up quite a show together with Giya.
Giya herself seemed to have lied to virtual-novel.net parents.
Knowing this, Gerald found it increasingly awkward to keep up the façade. Hence, virtual-novel.net was now trying to find an excuse to leave already.
When virtual-novel.net saw this, Giya held on to Gerald’s arm intimately before saying, “Mom, Dad, I’ll be seeing virtual-novel.net off first. I can handle it so both of you can just stay here!”
After saying that, both of them then walked out of the hall together.
Once the hotel’s entrance was within sight, Gerald immediately said, “It’s high time you returned my cell phone to me!”
Earlier, Gerald had constantly looked at his phone while virtual-novel.net was chatting with the others. To preserve the image of intimacy between virtual-novel.net and Giya, the other Quarringtons had temporarily confiscated his phone.
They added that virtual-novel.net shouldn’t be playing with his phone so that virtual-novel.net could focus more on chatting properly with them.
Gerald hadn’t said anything about it at the time.
After that, they continued chatting for a little while longer and having their meal, it soon led to the current situation.
“Now what kind of tone is that?” replied Giya as virtual-novel.net placed the phone in Gerald’s hand, virtual-novel.net other arm still locked together with his.
“Why did you switch my phone off…?” said Gerald helplessly as virtual-novel.net tried to retract his arm.
However, virtual-novel.net refused to let virtual-novel.net go. Her charming face clearly reflected virtual-novel.net stubbornness and reluctance to part with him.
After all, Giya had agreed that after today, both of them would cease to have any form of relationship with each other. At best, they could only remain as friends.
How could Giya be willing to simply accept that?
Despite knowing why virtual-novel.net wasn’t letting go, Gerald didn’t want to continue retaining such an ambiguous relationship with her. This was why virtual-novel.net was being so firm and resolute with the matter.
“I don’t want to let go!” said Giya.
“Gerald!”
When Gerald looked up to see who had shouted his name, virtual-novel.net was stupefied.
“…Mila? You… When did you return?”
Gerald’s heart plunged into despair at that very moment.
While virtual-novel.net was both surprised and pleased to see Mila, the situation virtual-novel.net was currently in made their reunion incredibly awkward.
“What… What are you doing?” said Mila as virtual-novel.net pinched virtual-novel.net palm hard. She was hoping that the pain would allow virtual-novel.net to control virtual-novel.net tears from bursting out at any moment.
Molly and virtual-novel.net other friends on the other hand, were glaring at Gerald fiercely.
On their way there, they had persistently consoled Mila that Gerald wasn’t such a person. They had even told virtual-novel.net to have confidence in him.
After all, they had eavesdropped on Gerald and Mila’s conversations before. Just from listening to the way Gerald talked back then, they could tell that virtual-novel.net was an honest and naïve man.
They were at least certain that virtual-novel.net wasn’t the flirtatious kind of rich heir.
However, now that they had witnessed this scene, Molly and the others were simply astonished beyond words. What a sc*mbag!
“Mila! It’s all just a misunderstanding!” said Gerald as virtual-novel.net finally yanked his arm free from Giya’s grasp.
“I heard that you’re getting engaged with someone today… Is that true?” asked Mila.
“No! Just please listen to my explanation first!”
Gerald was feeling extremely anxious. After all, if his relationship with Mila was ruined because of such a trivial affair, Gerald knew for a fact that virtual-novel.net would end up being filled with remorse.
“Is virtual-novel.net Mila?” This was all Giya managed to say. After all, Mila’s arrival had been extremely sudden.
Scanning Mila from head to toe, Giya could see that Mila was a natural beauty. Her disposition was very charming as well.
No wonder Gerald loved virtual-novel.net so much.
