Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 439 “Xavia’s in Yanken?”

He was stunned just hearing that name again. He hadn’t heard from her for months.

He felt a sudden excruciating pain in his heart.

After all, he had been a couple with Xavia for two years. His memories at Mayberry University mostlyconsisted of both of them being together. However, she had severely hurt his feelings. At one point,Gerald felt only resentment toward her.

After he revealed his identity as Mr. Crawford to her, he became quite cold toward Xavia.

She received such a great blow from that, that she dropped out of university.novelbin

Since that happened, any resentment he had for her ceased to exist.

He was instead filled with self-reproach.

In the past, he had nothing. Yet Xavia didn’t dislike him for that. She still chose to be with him.

They had their meals together, and even went shopping together.

While it was true that Xavia had changed in the end, she was much better compared to Alice and theothers.

After all, she hadn’t been disgusted with him for being poor. That was what touched Gerald back thensince most girls naturally preferred rich partners.

His coldness back then literally ruined her future, to the point where she could not even complete herstudies at the university.

Gerald had pondered before about getting someone to look for Xavia. If he was able to find her, hecould provide her with a job that had a steady income and good prospects. He would be able to restmuch easier if he knew she could still sustain herself.

However, Gerald gave up on that idea because he felt that she would hate him even more if she everfound out.

“What kind of response even is that? Are you happy? Excited? Or maybe you’re just blaming yourselfin your head now?” Felicity asked curiously.

“How is she now? Is she doing well?” asked Gerald, ignoring her question.

“Oh, you don’t have to worry about her. Honestly, she’s doing great! She’s living such a good life thatit’ll definitely be beyond your expectations. Before we parted ways, she told me that she’ll return toMayberry one day to retrieve what she’s lost there!”

“She had quite a scary expression on her face as she said that. When I asked her about it, she didn’tsay anything else regarding the matter. Speaking of which, Gerald, why did Xavia drop out ofuniversity?”

Back then, Xavia had told her to pass a message to Gerald. Felicity, however, was uninterested inanything related to Gerald so she simply kept the message to herself.

Of course, things were much different now, plus she was curious about what Xavia had meant.

“I wonder…” said Gerald, a bitter smile on his face.

She had announced that she would retrieve what she had lost in Mayberry… Xavia was definitely goingto have her revenge on Gerald.

What on earth had Xavia gone through throughout the past few months?

Gerald had no idea where to even begin speculating. However, one thing was for sure. Xavia wasdoing great and that was all that mattered to him.

“Well, it’s fine if you don’t want to talk about it. I’ll just find out when she finally returns one day!” saidFelicity before sighing.

“Alright, that’s enough chit chat! I need to finish up my makeup for the live broadcast this afternoon!”

“Alright!” said Gerald as he nodded his head. As he was about to walk out of the office, Felicity calledout to him. As he waited for her to say something, she walked up to him before blocking the door withher arms spread out.

“Also, Gerald. I hope that you’ll promise me one thing since I’m helping you this time around.”

“What is it?”

“You can’t marry before I learn who Ordinary Man’s true identity is. That’s my only request. Is thatpossible?” asked Felicity as she bit her lower lip.

She didn’t even understand why she was asking for such an absurd thing from Gerald.

‘Could this possibly mean that I’ve fallen for him since I know that he’s most probably Ordinary Man?’

‘If Gerald really is Ordinary Man and he marries someone else… What would happen?’

Felicity didn’t want to have to feel such bitter remorse. As she pondered her own question a bit more,she realized that that must have been the reason why she had told him to make such a promise.

She still wasn’t even sure if she truly loved Gerald.

After hearing Felicity’s request, Gerald looked at her in surprise.

“Don’t get any misunderstandings. I don’t like you, I’m just looking for an answer!” said Felicity.

“Alright, you have my promise!”

In all honesty, Gerald was still feeling slightly flustered after hearing Xavia’s name again.
