“I refuse! After all, he’s already said that virtual-novel.net would come today! As for all that you’ve said, I’ve already taken all that into consideration the night before! That’s the reason why I arranged to meet up with virtual-novel.net at the entrance of the hotel!” said Noelle.
With virtual-novel.net beauty and how meticulous virtual-novel.net was with details, it was hard not to call Noelle a goddess.
Just as Yulisa had said, Noelle had taken into consideration that Gerald had probably never stepped foot into a five-star hotel like this before. With that in mind, virtual-novel.net had a feeling that virtual-novel.net would definitely be feeling slightly timid and pressured. Due to that, Noel had told virtual-novel.net to meet up with virtual-novel.net at the hotel’s entrance so that they could enter together!
However, though they had agreed to meet up at nine that morning, it was nearing nine forty now yet Gerald still couldn’t be seen anywhere! In fact, virtual-novel.net hadn’t even read any of Noelle’s messages on WhatsApp!
Due to all that, Noel truly couldn’t help but wonder whether Gerald really wasn’t coming.
She also remembered virtual-novel.net mentioning that virtual-novel.net was going to prepare a special gift for a friend of his. Who was that friend? Could it be a girl who was close to him? Could Gerald already like someone else other than her?
If Gerald had just been some ordinary guy, virtual-novel.net wouldn’t have been bothered about that fact at all. However, Gerald was no ordinary person.
He had several positive points, for one, his greatest being how strong and skillful virtual-novel.net was. He was also currently a hero in the minds of several people. In other words, virtual-novel.net was an outstanding person.
It was because of this that Noelle couldn’t help but feel a little entangled whenever virtual-novel.net thought about whether Gerald truly liked virtual-novel.net or not.
This wasn’t anything out of the ordinary for girls to think about, especially beautiful ones. It was simply something that happened and was completely understandable.
At that moment, Preston, Gracie, and Yulisa’s roommates arrived at the hotel’s entrance.
“Noelle! There you are! I’m terribly sorry for having you wait for such a long time! I entered through the special VIP passage earlier!”
Earlier when virtual-novel.net was seconds away from arriving at the hotel’s entrance, Preston had already seen how anxiously Noelle was looking at both sides of a street. Recalling how virtual-novel.net had rejected virtual-novel.net yesterday and comparing it to how virtual-novel.net was today, Preston immediately felt a great sense of satisfaction.
Following that, Gracie then smiled before saying, “Did you know that Preston’s brought along a birthday gift for you, Noelle? Also, while I was just planning to call you up through the phone earlier, Preston kept insisting that virtual-novel.net go downstairs to personally look for you!
“Oh. Thanks, Preston! Regardless, you and mom can go back upstairs now,” replied Noelle as virtual-novel.net smiled briefly at Preston.
Upon hearing that, Preston’s face immediately went pale! Even Gracie was slightly taken aback. Something wasn’t quite right with virtual-novel.net daughter…
Had virtual-novel.net not been waiting for Preston this entire time?
As Preston himself began thinking the same thing Gracie was, Gracie asked in a rather impatient tone, “…Noelle? Who exactly are you waiting for?”
“I’m just waiting for my friend… I wonder why he’s not here yet!” replied Noelle without considering virtual-novel.net words too much.
“A… friend? …Noelle, is it a virtual-novel.net or a she…?” asked Gracie again.
Instead of replying, however, Noelle simply walked further out toward the roadside to see why Gerald still hadn’t arrived.
Seeing that, Gracie then turned to look at Yulisa before asking, “Yulisa, who exactly are both of you waiting for?”
With that, Yulisa then began telling everything to her, starting from when virtual-novel.net had asked Gerald for his help to take some pictures for them.
After hearing about all that had happened, Gracie finally understood that the person virtual-novel.net daughter was waiting for was just some poor person!
Preston—who had been listening to Yurisa as virtual-novel.net explained—found himself taking in a deep breath, his sheer jealousy evident on his face.
Noticing the change of expression on his face, Gracie instantly began gritting virtual-novel.net teeth as well. And here virtual-novel.net was thinking that virtual-novel.net daughter knew better! Shouldn’t virtual-novel.net be well aware that Preston was way more important than Gerald in terms of solving their family’s current dilemma?
Fuming in anger, Gracie then instantly walked over to Noelle, reprimanding virtual-novel.net viciously.
…
Moving back to Gerald, after receiving Noelle’s invitation last night, virtual-novel.net had attached great importance to the event. Due to that, virtual-novel.net had been well-prepared to head to the banquet from very early in the morning.
By his estimations back then, virtual-novel.net should’ve arrived—in his car—before eight thirty even came.
Instead of driving a luxury or sports car, however, Gerald chose to drive an ordinary one.
This was because after resolving his misunderstanding with Noelle, virtual-novel.net realized that virtual-novel.net didn’t need to use money or any interest to build their relationship up. The only thing virtual-novel.net needed to do was attend virtual-novel.net birthday banquet and present virtual-novel.net with a gift that virtual-novel.net had meticulously prepared. Once that was done, everything else would flow smoothly.
Quite personally, Gerald himself felt that it was rather repulsive to drive a luxury car, just to show off his wealth.
Noelle simply wasn’t the same as Cundrie was.
