Mayberry First High School was the name of the school Naomi was currently teaching in. It was also where virtual-novel.net was living close to.
After getting the directions from Felicity, Gerald found himself arriving at the front gates of a small neighborhood that looked like it was still pretty new.
By sheer coincidence, virtual-novel.net also saw Naomi—who had a few groceries in virtual-novel.net arms—there! However, a woman and a man seemed to be talking to virtual-novel.net as the trio walked further into the neighborhood. The man himself had a notebook and pen in hand, seemingly recording details whenever Noami spoke.
From that alone, Gerald could deduce that the two of them were police officers dressed in regular clothing.
‘What on earth could have happened…?’ Gerald thought to himself as virtual-novel.net continued watching them inquire Naomi about something.
As virtual-novel.net kept a safe distance from the trio in his car, Gerald made sure to constantly be on the lookout for any women with particularly strong yin physiques.
Before long, Gerald watched as the two police officers shook hands with Naomi—seemingly done questioning her—before driving off in the direction of Mayberry First High School which wasn’t located too far away.
Naomi herself seemed to look quite disappointed as virtual-novel.net continued carrying the ingredients back to virtual-novel.net home.
Looking at virtual-novel.net now, Gerald thought about how it had been almost over a year since virtual-novel.net had last bumped into her. Though virtual-novel.net still retained virtual-novel.net long hair and fair skin, Naomi was now a teacher and Gerald could sense an intellectual charm—as well as greater maturity—from virtual-novel.net that hadn’t been present the last time they met.
Now that virtual-novel.net was alone again, Gerald drove close to virtual-novel.net before pressing his horn slightly.
Hearing that, Naomi turned to look at the luxurious-looking car that was currently slowly tailing her.
As a hint of impatience flashed across virtual-novel.net eyes, Naomi simply began quickening virtual-novel.net pace. She utterly hated these kinds of playboy rich heirs who assumed that they were greater than others simply because they had more wealth.
‘How disgusting!’
Seeing virtual-novel.net reaction, Gerald couldn’t help but laugh as virtual-novel.net continued following her. At some point, Gerald overtook the girl before stopping his car in front of her.
Hearing virtual-novel.net honk his car again, Naomi faced virtual-novel.net back against the car before scowling, “Are you mad? Get lost already!”
Since such a luxurious-looking car was present, it was natural for those around the neighborhood to get drawn to the scene. In fact, several women were already walking closer to snap pictures of the car.
Though the rest were in awe, Naomi wasn’t the least impressed with the individual driving the car. Quite frankly, the only thing the driver was doing right, was raising virtual-novel.net temper!
Rolling down the car window, Gerald looked at Naomi with a smile before asking, “Now, now, is there a need for such a bad temper?”
Upon hearing that familiar voice, Naomi suddenly began trembling all over. That voice… It made virtual-novel.net doubt for a second whether virtual-novel.net was truly awake or just dreaming all this. Feeling virtual-novel.net heart clench, Naomi thought to herself, ‘Could… Could I have just heard wrongly…?’
Slowly turning around to see for herself, Naomi found herself loosening virtual-novel.net grip and dropping all the groceries virtual-novel.net had in hand! Though the girl hadn’t cried in the longest time, virtual-novel.net was now ready to bawl virtual-novel.net heart out.
She had missed Gerald dearly every single day from the moment virtual-novel.net had left virtual-novel.net a year and a half ago… Constantly yearning to hear his familiar voice again, virtual-novel.net oftentimes found herself recalling the times when virtual-novel.net had first met Gerald back in university. Due to virtual-novel.net being a nice person with a kind heart, virtual-novel.net had already developed a crush on him, all the way back then. What more, there was just a special charm to him.
Though the others in the university had never been able to stand Gerald back then, Naomi had always found virtual-novel.net to be quite brilliant. She was able to see all his good points within virtual-novel.net without being biased about how poor virtual-novel.net was back then.
Quite honestly, virtual-novel.net still regretted not making a move on virtual-novel.net back then. If the two of them had become a couple from the very beginning, maybe virtual-novel.net wouldn’t have to be filled with the pain of missing virtual-novel.net now.
Shaking the thoughts off, the now red-eyed Naomi said, “…G-Gerald…? Is that… really you…?”
Stepping out of the car, virtual-novel.net then smiled while looking at virtual-novel.net before replying, “Who else could I be?”
Hearing that, Naomi wasn’t able to hold herself back any longer. Rushing over to him, virtual-novel.net immediately wrapped virtual-novel.net arms around him…
