Just like Tulip, the woman was very beautiful, and both of them resembled each other a lot. However, Gerald could see that while Tulip had a more innocent look to her, the woman, in contrast, looked much more mature.
“That’s him, sister!” said Tulip with a soft tone as virtual-novel.net pointed at Gerald.
Hearing that, virtual-novel.net scanned Gerald briefly from head to toe before nodding slightly.
Following that, virtual-novel.net grabbed virtual-novel.net bag and got up to leave. While Gerald did intend to at least greet her, virtual-novel.net completely ignored him.
Once virtual-novel.net was gone, Tulip smugly said, “That was my elder sister, Juliet Yowell! What do you think? A beauty, isn’t she? Hah! Even if you deny it, I saw how wide your eyes were the moment you saw her!”
Nodding slightly, Gerald simply replied, “So tell me, what did you want to meet me for?”
“Well, it’s something good so of course I had to tell you in person. Actually, scratch good, it’s great news!” said Tulip before sighing.
“The truth is, I’ve been looking for someone suitable for the longest time. At long last, I’ve finally found you to be the perfect candidate!” added Tulip.
“Pray tell what exactly I’m a perfect candidate for…”
Hearing that, Tulip simply chuckled before saying, “Alright, so before anything else, let me just say that what you’re about to hear will be extremely shocking. If you end up dying from excitement, don’t say I didn’t warn you!”
Taking in a deep breath, virtual-novel.net then continued, “…So you see, my sister’s been looking for a live-in son-in-law for a while now… And after searching for so long, you seem to be the most suitable candidate for the job!”
“…I beg your pardon? Me? A live-in son-in-law?” said Gerald as virtual-novel.net immediately stood up, wide-eyed.
“Haha! I know, right? I was surprised that my sister agreed with it as well!” replied Tulip happily. Tulip had clearly mistaken Gerald’s surprise for excitement, which explained why virtual-novel.net was feeling so joyful.
“…Alright, let’s slow down for a bit. First of all, your sister’s extremely beautiful, so I’m sure virtual-novel.net has many admirers. Why’s virtual-novel.net only looking for a live-in son-in-law…?” asked Gerald, his resignation evident in his voice.
“It’s a long story…” said Tulip with a sigh before detailing everything.
Basically, after Gerald had saved her, Tulip got scolded by virtual-novel.net family the moment virtual-novel.net arrived home. However, after being scolded by virtual-novel.net father, an idea came to her.
To understand that idea, Tulip had to explain why virtual-novel.net ended up going to Bloomlin Mountain in the first place. In short, virtual-novel.net had been in a very bad mood recently. Though Gerald failing to get them into the laboratory was the last straw for her, it was far from the actual source of virtual-novel.net annoyance.
The main issue, as Tulip explained, had been regarding an incident relating to virtual-novel.net sister whom virtual-novel.net had a very good relationship with.
According to Tulip, upon Juliet’s return to virtual-novel.net homeland recently, virtual-novel.net had been taking things extremely terribly due to issues pertaining to a broken heart. Juliet was simply upset all the time, and virtual-novel.net was almost completely different from the sister Tulip used to know. Things got so bad that at one point, virtual-novel.net sister even considered committing suicide!
It was the reason why Tulip had been so worried and easily angered at the time.
As for why Juliet had a broken heart in the first place, virtual-novel.net had initially been studying abroad in M country. During virtual-novel.net time there, virtual-novel.net had a boyfriend and both of them were in love for a good many years.
However, virtual-novel.net eventually found out that that sc*mbag had already been engaged to another person!
When virtual-novel.net suggested that virtual-novel.net marry virtual-novel.net instead, virtual-novel.net was actually hesitant about doing so! Understanding at that point that his heart never belonged to virtual-novel.net in the first place, Juliet took things extremely badly and immediately returned to Heavenly City in great fury!
Before dumping him, out of spite, Juliet even said word for word, ‘Since you’re so hesitant about being with me, fine then! Since you think so highly of yourself, I’ll just find the most worthless man on the planet to be my husband! You’ll regret ever making me feel this way!’
Upon returning, virtual-novel.net had asked for Tulip’s help to locate such a person. Essentially, the perfect candidate would be someone who was worthless, but honest.
Fast forward to the present, as virtual-novel.net said, virtual-novel.net got the idea that Gerald was perfect for the role as virtual-novel.net father scolded her.
Once virtual-novel.net father was done, virtual-novel.net immediately sought out virtual-novel.net sister and told virtual-novel.net all about Gerald.
As Gerald attempted to register all that virtual-novel.net had just heard, Tulip replayed the earlier conversation virtual-novel.net had had with virtual-novel.net sister in virtual-novel.net mind.
Back then, Tulip had found Juliet staring out the window. Running up to virtual-novel.net excitedly, Tulip had said, “I’ve finally found the perfect person for you, sister!”
“Who is he?”
“Well, he’s a new lecturer of mine whom we all call Teacher Skitterbrook! He’s also the one who saved me today, so I can say for sure that he’s an honest man. To be quite frank, virtual-novel.net doesn’t look bad either. What do you think? Should I ask virtual-novel.net out once he’s done with work today? By doing so, you’ll be able to have a good look at him! If things go well, then you can get married to virtual-novel.net and have your revenge on that sc*mbag! He’ll certainly be pissed since my lecturer clearly has no advantages to him! Haha!”
“I see… Alright then, please ask virtual-novel.net out tonight. Once I get a good look at virtual-novel.net and if things go well, we’ll sign the contract so that he’ll be my husband for a year. Once that year is up, I’ll reward virtual-novel.net accordingly. With the reward money, I’m certain that he’ll be able to live his life without any more worries till the day virtual-novel.net dies.”
“Alright! Just leave everything to me!”
