Gerald truly hadn’t expected that Noelle would behave word for word like how Aiden had predicted. After all, Aiden had told Gerald that goddesses like virtual-novel.net enjoyed playing games of cat and mouse.
In other words, they really enjoyed the process of being pursued. They particularly liked it when the ones they were after truly seemed to care for them.
With that in mind, according to Aiden’s guess, even if Gerald truly had saved Noelle’s life today, virtual-novel.net still wouldn’t take the initiative to hand virtual-novel.net her contact number. The most virtual-novel.net would do was chat briefly with virtual-novel.net before turning to leave. Of course, virtual-novel.net wouldn’t actually leave right off the bat. Instead, virtual-novel.net would wait around a little to wait for Gerald to ask virtual-novel.net to stay instead.
This was the reason why it was oftentimes so difficult to pursue most goddesses. After all, what such girls truly enjoyed was the process of being pursued and sought after.
Regardless, each and every one of Noelle’s actions were nearly identical to what Aiden had predicted. Seeing that, Gerald then proceeded to relay the script that Aiden had earlier shared with him.
Nodding with a nonchalant expression on his face, Gerald then replied, “Indeed. Since both of you got injured earlier, it’d do you good to get some well-deserved rest. I’ll be taking my leave as well since I still need to prepare a special gift for a friend of mine by today. Now if you’ll excuse me, farewell!”
After saying that, Gerald slowly turned around and began walking away, calmly. Now then, if what Adrian had told virtual-novel.net was correct, Noelle would definitely call out to virtual-novel.net at the count of five…
‘One… Two… Three…’
As soon as Gerald counted ‘five’ in his mind, Noelle suddenly shouted, “…Hold on, Gerald! Gerald, wait for a second!”
…Seriously?!
“…Yes? What is it, Noelle?” asked Gerald.
“Well… Where exactly did you learn your skills, Gerald…? If it’s possible, I’d like to learn some simple self-defense techniques for women! Would you happen to have any recommendations for me…?” asked Noelle.
Hearing that, Yulisa nodded as well before adding, “I-I’d like to learn as well!”
“…Oh? Is that so? Well, I could give you a public contact number through WhatsApp if you’d like… It belongs to my friend and he’s always up to date with such skills!”
By this point, Gerald felt that virtual-novel.net truly understood these girls’ hearts now. The sentences that Aiden had taught virtual-novel.net truly were effective, especially the one that involved virtual-novel.net saying that virtual-novel.net needed to go prepare a special gift for his friend.
In a way, saying that allowed virtual-novel.net to counter the cat and mouse game tactic. Waiting till now to say it was also particularly impactful since virtual-novel.net had already played the role of the hero who saved the two beauties.
Aiden’s account was called ‘Practical Tactical’, and Aiden frequently shared information about fighting and martial arts skills there. While Gerald could have just told them the name of the account for them to—rather easily—search for it, Gerald asked to be friends on their WhatsApp accounts instead in order for virtual-novel.net to forward Aiden’s contact information to them.
However, just as Adrian had anticipated, the girls simply obliged without question. Gerald could now say for certain that the two girls wanting to learn self-defense techniques was nothing but an excuse.
All Noelle was really after was a capable guy by virtual-novel.net side who was interested in her, just like Gerald. As long as virtual-novel.net kept pursuing virtual-novel.net in a considerate manner, Noelle would surely open up more to virtual-novel.net eventually.
With that in mind, after parting ways with the girls, Gerald couldn’t help but admire Aiden for having such effective tactics on hand.
At the same time, virtual-novel.net couldn’t help but wonder why virtual-novel.net hadn’t understood Mila’s heart better in the beginning. In the old days, both of them would speak over the phone every night, and eventually, Mila would always be the first to say that virtual-novel.net wanted to head to bed.
Of course, being as dense as virtual-novel.net was back then, Gerald would always wish virtual-novel.net good night almost immediately, telling virtual-novel.net to sleep well before heading to bed. Why hadn’t virtual-novel.net realized back then that Mila actually wanted virtual-novel.net to ask virtual-novel.net to stay a little longer?
It was now evident to virtual-novel.net that virtual-novel.net had constantly wanted virtual-novel.net to think more about her. To spend more time with her. In a way, it was virtual-novel.net way of testing how significant virtual-novel.net was in Gerald’s heart!
