The Secretly Rich Man

Chapter 1199

Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1199 Gerald truly hadn’t expected such a major interlude to take place just from him heading over to LugawCity.

Regardless, Gerald wasn’t really that interested in Zack’s relationship with the Snyders. After all, aslong as it was related to business affairs, Gerald had no doubts about leaving Zack in charge.

Once the party was over, Gerald headed out together with Cundrie and a few others.

As they were walking on, Gerald looked at Cundrie before saying, “I truly apologize for my imprudenceback then, Miss Smith, and I hope you aren’t still angry about that incident… You see, at the time, I hadmistaken you as Mila, my girlfriend, which was what caused me to behave the way I did… I had wantedto explain this for a while now, but I never got a proper chance to do so!”

After Cundrie had stepped forward to bear the responsibility of her actions earlier—even though sheknew how dangerous that would be for her—Gerald could already tell that she was a very nice person.

“How could she remain angry? I’ll have you know, Mr. Crawford, that as long as you wish for it, I’ll notonly allow you to hug her, but I’m even willing to give her to you-”

Though Mrs. Smith had said so excitedly, she was cut short when Cundrie—who could tell what hermother’s intentions were—shot a bitter glare at her. Realizing that she had gone a bit too, Mrs. Smithimmediately stopped talking.

Seeing that, Riley immediately began dragging her mother away as she said, “Mr. Crawford wishes totalk to sister, mom! Don’t disturb them!”

Once they were out of sight, Cundrie then smiled faintly before replying, “…It’s fine. To be quite honest,while I was angry at the time, I simultaneously felt the urge to thank you after you made me realizesomething!”

Cundrie could’ve never imagined that the imprudent man she had imagined Gerald to be this entiretime was actually such a refined man who was quite stubborn when it came to love.

“…Hmm? Was it something I said?” asked Gerald as he returned the smile.novelbin

“Well, you see, I had previously thought that true love no longer existed on this planet… After all, theworld today is fuelled mostly by sexual desires… Regardless, for the longest time, I simply consideredall love to be fake and hypocritical… It got to the point where I assumed that whenever a man fell inlove with a woman, he was only doing so to gain access to her body! Due to that mentality, I had beendisappointed with the concept of love for as long as I’ve lived!”

“…However, the moment you embraced me, I could feel how tightly you were hugging onto me… Ididn’t even know who you were yet at the time, but I could sense how much you loved the woman youmistook me for… It was almost as though you were terrified of the thought that she’d leave you again ifyou didn’t hug her tight enough… It was also at that moment when I realized that true love still existedin the world… I have to admit that I’m quite envious of that woman… She’s called Mila, right?” askedCundrie as she turned to look at Gerald.

After watching Gerald nod slightly, Cundrie then added, “Could I request something from you, Mr.Crawford…?”

“Go on. I’ll try to fulfill your request as long as I’m able to!”

“…If you don’t mind, I’d like to hear the story about you and Mila…”

After a brief pause, Gerald then agreed and began telling Cundrie about his tale with her. It wasn’t longbefore Gerald summarized most of his relationship with Mila to her.

Once he was done, Cundrie found herself nodding in satisfaction before saying with a smile, “…I see.As it turns out, true love doesn’t really ask for much! Speaking of which, you said you needed a drop ofmy blood, correct? While I’m not quite sure how my blood will be useful to you, I don’t mind donatingsome since you sound like you really need it!”

With that, Cundrie then bit into her index finger, causing a small amount of blood to start puddling there.

Once Gerald got what he needed, he looked at Cundrie gratefully as he said, “If there’s anything youneed help with in the future, know that you can always come to me. Thank you very much, Miss Smith!”

Getting slightly teary-eyed, Cundrie then replied, “We shouldn’t be thanking each other anymore, youknow…? After all, we’re friends now, so you better not thank me again in the future…! Jokes aside, Isincerely hope that you’ll be able to reunite with Mila again soon, Mr. Crawford… Do invite me over toyour wedding when that time comes…!”
