“A luxury car?” said Mila as virtual-novel.net quickly turned to look as well.
Mila could feel virtual-novel.net heartbeats quicken as virtual-novel.net watched the sports car swiftly make its way into the port.
‘Has Gerald finally come?’
As the car came to a screeching halt, Mila found herself slowly walking forward.
Out stepped a young man with a bouquet of fresh flowers in hand. Seeing how romantic virtual-novel.net was being, almost everyone present—especially the girls—began feeling jealous.
“Sorry I’m late, Hallie!” said the young man as virtual-novel.net removed his glasses while smiling.
“You’re not late at all, darling! I’m delighted to know that you rushed all the way here just to see me off!” replied Hallie as virtual-novel.net skipped rather excitedly toward the young man.
When virtual-novel.net moved past Mila, however, virtual-novel.net made sure that Mila saw virtual-novel.net smirking at virtual-novel.net before saying, “Why did you walk so far ahead? Did you honestly think that it was going to be your rich boyfriend? Too bad! This one’s mine!”
Hallie felt extremely satisfied after saying that. After all, virtual-novel.net had initially feared that Mila would end up becoming the highlight of the day since virtual-novel.net boyfriend was so powerful.
Thankfully, virtual-novel.net hadn’t turned up. This meant that virtual-novel.net other assumption was right. After all, why would a rich heir like Mr. Crawford ever want to be with a girl like Mila?
‘In the end, virtual-novel.net doesn’t even bother about you. Did you honestly think that he’d come all the way over just to meet you? Dream on!’
While Hallie was aware that virtual-novel.net had already lost to virtual-novel.net when it came to work, virtual-novel.net was happy to know that virtual-novel.net could still win against Mila when it came to virtual-novel.net love life.
“Rich boyfriend?” asked the young man as virtual-novel.net held on to Hallie’s hands.
“Indeed! Someone here has an extremely wealthy boyfriend! Though virtual-novel.net had claimed that virtual-novel.net would clear his busy schedule just to come over and meet her, in the end, it was all just a bunch of baloney! Where is virtual-novel.net now?” shouted Hallie out loud.
Hearing virtual-novel.net words, Mila became so anxious that virtual-novel.net felt like crying right there and then!
In all honesty, virtual-novel.net anxiety firing up had less to do with what Hallie had said. Rather, it had stemmed from the fact that Gerald hadn’t answered any of virtual-novel.net calls that morning. He had even forgotten about his promise with virtual-novel.net last night!
‘Does virtual-novel.net truly not love me anymore?’ Mila thought to herself, virtual-novel.net mind swimming with many other depressing thoughts.
“Alright, hand over your phones! All personnel are required to verify your identity before you’re allowed to board the ship!” said one of the investigation team’s staff aloud at that moment.
With that, Mila and the others slowly began boarding the ship. Even after everyone had gotten aboard, Mila was honestly still hoping that a miracle could happen.
‘Gerald will definitely appear at the last moment… After all, virtual-novel.net promised me that virtual-novel.net would come, and virtual-novel.net never lies to me.’
However, as virtual-novel.net watched the port slowly fade in the distance, Mila couldn’t help but burst into tears.
As the ship continued sailing on, the screeching of car tires could be heard at the now almost deserted port.
The few people who remained at the port found themselves looking at a young, rich heir and an old man as they stepped out of an immensely expensive-looking car.
The ocean liner was nowhere in sight.
Gerald could only slam his fist against the car’s bonnet, realizing that virtual-novel.net had been too late.
While virtual-novel.net had tried calling Mila on his way there, virtual-novel.net found that virtual-novel.net had switched virtual-novel.net phone off. If only virtual-novel.net had been a little earlier, virtual-novel.net would’ve definitely still been able to meet with her.
The main issue wasn’t about failing to meet her, however. It was failing to keep his promise.
He remembered seeing Alice lying atop of virtual-novel.net the moment virtual-novel.net opened his eyes. That was all virtual-novel.net needed to see to realize that virtual-novel.net had been tricked into his current situation the night before.
After giving Alice a harsh scolding, virtual-novel.net immediately rushed out of the hotel.
Fynn and his men had been waiting for virtual-novel.net the entire night at the port, and knowing this only served to add to Gerald’s guilt.
If only virtual-novel.net hadn’t taken pity on Alice, none of this would’ve happened…
In his mind, Gerald was able to picture how eager and disappointed Mila must have felt throughout virtual-novel.net wait for him. The more virtual-novel.net thought about it, the more his grief piled up.
