A hint of slight resentment could be heard in the man’s voice as virtual-novel.net pointed at Gerald.
“Indeed! This is my husband, Gerald!” replied Juliet as virtual-novel.net locked arms with Gerald.
“Gerald, this is Cavan, a classmate of mine from university!” added Juliet as virtual-novel.net introduced virtual-novel.net to the man.
“A pleasure to meet you!” said Gerald as virtual-novel.net reached a hand out in accordance with the etiquettes Juliet had earlier taught him.
“I truly can’t comprehend what goes on in your mind… Even if you broke up with him, you could’ve easily just gone for anyone else other than this guy…” muttered Cavan.
Noticing Juliet’s warning gaze, however, Cavan simply stopped talking. It was evident that Cavan was one of Juliet’s suitors. That explained why virtual-novel.net completely ignored Gerald’s handshake as well.
Cavan wasn’t the only one treating Gerald that way though. Many of Juliet’s other male classmates shot equally hostile gazes toward him, refusing to say a word to Gerald at all.
Even virtual-novel.net female classmates were staring at Gerald contemptuously from time to time. It was as though they were all wondering how a beauty like Juliet could end up being with such a pathetic person as Gerald.
“Just look at that guy, Cavan! I would’ve never imagined that Juliet would actually get married to such a person! To think that virtual-novel.net actually fell in love with a teacher working in Heavenly City University! I’m speechless! What the hell even goes on in Juliet’s mind?”
It was a while later when several of virtual-novel.net male classmates were discussing Gerald right outside the gents.
Their dissatisfaction with virtual-novel.net was warranted since most, if not all, of them there had either had a crush or fallen for virtual-novel.net once. Cavan himself had had feelings for virtual-novel.net for the longest time.
However, since Juliet already had someone else in virtual-novel.net heart back then, nobody ever had a chance to even ask virtual-novel.net out. Upon finding out that virtual-novel.net finally broke up with virtual-novel.net boyfriend, all virtual-novel.net classmates were eager to finally be able to try their luck!
Alas, the next thing they knew, virtual-novel.net had already gotten married to some useless person!
With all of them being distinguished people, it was really no wonder why they looked down on Gerald so much. After all, virtual-novel.net was simply a lecturer.
“Humph! I know right? We can’t even say anything to Juliet now since he’s constantly around her! What an inconvenient eyesore!” scowled another classmate.
“In that case, then we should just make virtual-novel.net leave then! We’ll make it clear to virtual-novel.net that our gatherings aren’t events that just anyone can attend, especially people with his status!” sneered Cavan.
After saying that, virtual-novel.net began whispering his plan to all the present male classmates. Once everyone agreed, they all returned to the private room together.
The moment Cavan saw Gerald, virtual-novel.net walked over toward virtual-novel.net with a smile before saying, “Speaking of which, we haven’t even had a drink with the bridegroom! Since you snatched our goddess from us, you’ll have to drink with us today!”
The other males simply exchanged gazes with each other in glee before smiling coldly at Gerald.
Despite the evident and sudden change in Cavan’s attitude, Gerald simply returned the smile as virtual-novel.net replied, “Sure thing! What are we drinking today?”
“That’s the spirit! Also, we’ll be drinking liquor! I just so happen to have a few boxes of good liquor in my car that I’ve brought from home! Someone’s bringing some over as we speak!” said Cavan who wasn’t expecting Gerald to agree so easily.
“Liquor sounds fine! In fact, I love drinking liquor!” replied Gerald with a laugh.
Since Juliet had easily sensed that Cavan and the others were up to no good, virtual-novel.net had initially planned to remind Gerald against falling for it.
Seeing how mindlessly virtual-novel.net was acting, however, Juliet was left completely speechless.
‘Just let virtual-novel.net drink if virtual-novel.net wants to so much, then!’ Juliet thought to herself before looking to the side.
Soon after, virtual-novel.net male classmates returned with two boxes of liquor in hand.
“Oh, and by the way, Gerald. My friend here runs a winery! As a result, virtual-novel.net can hold his alcohol extremely well. Would you have a problem with virtual-novel.net being the master as we drink along? After all, both of us are plenty eager to enjoy a good drink with you! How about it?” asked Cavan as virtual-novel.net continued smiling.
“Not a problem!” replied Gerald with a nod.
Nobody noticed the impish glint in Gerald’s eyes as virtual-novel.net said that. After practicing the many skills that Finnley had taught him, Gerald had trained himself enough to become immune to all forms of alcohol.
In fact, virtual-novel.net was now even able to consume basic poisons without having to deal with any side-effects. Liquor was nothing to him!
The main reason Gerald agreed with Cavan’s proposal was because virtual-novel.net knew how much Cavan and Juliet’s other classmates disliked him. The current Gerald was no longer as passive as virtual-novel.net used to be. He wouldn’t just endure all his anger after being bashed around so much.
Since they wanted so much to play with him, then play with them virtual-novel.net would.
