One Night With Stranger
Abila's Return

Vera feels free to argue with Gerald, but before leaving, Vera again emphasizes one thing on her stepson.

"Like it or not, want it or not, the engagement should still happen. Our surname and Alma's family are at stake, Ge .. and you need that wedding to get your grandfather's legacy!" There was a vibrating tone of voice as Vera said that. His efforts to find Gerald a matching soul mate should not be in vain.

Gerald flatly responded, even he did not turn his head or deliver the departure of his mother. For Gerald, he doesn't need any inheritance from this family, who never thought of him as a human. He was just a puppet to Ryuji's grandfather, his every step being arranged by the old man. He was just a money machine for his family. While Ryotama—ayah Gerald, as the main leader of Ryuji's business, is even engrossed in his own world. The man in his fifties is playing women. Just waiting for reports from his sons who each held important positions in the company. Ryotama does not need to face the demands of employees, do not get dizzy when stocks go down, or look for breakthroughs so that every effort remains ahead. Ryotama only knows it's in order and his name is kept clean. If there is a mistake, Ryotama is not reluctant to be angry, even if they are his sons.

Vera's unfriendly gaze did not stop at Gerald alone, but at Yuva who immediately lowered her head as a sign of respect for Vera, but only a smile of ridicule came out of Vera's lips. No matter what he is with a cheap woman who is obviously just messing with the life of an heir son like Gerald. Yuva will definitely only become a parasite in Gerald's life later.

"I hope you know the limit of satisfaction and stop, Miss. Gerald's gonna be someone else's in a week. Make sure you know yourself." Vera doesn't need Yuva's response, the woman leaves.

Gerald turned around, his lips ready to throw a speech to defend Yuva. However, Gerald soon realizes that the more he defends Yuva, the more Vera will do everything she can to keep Yuva away from him. Gerald can't let that happen. Yuva was the woman he carved with his hands. The first girl to make him feel like a man.

"Follow me," Gerald ordered as Vera had walked out the door, leaving a ticking of high heels that were drifting away. "This is my home, not his home. You don't have to over-think that woman's words."

How could Yuva not think of that hurtful remark? Every word is so piercing. But Yuva pretends to agree with what Gerald said. Vera is right, Yuva must be satisfied after achieving her goal of being away from Lucas, even she gets a free bonus from the heartless family. Yuva should know the limits and stop. Yeah, that's what Yuva would do.

"You think a lot!" Gerald impatiently carried Yuva like a bride.

"Ah, release!" Yuva banged her back, so Gerald had to grip Yuva's body firmly. "Let me walk alone, Gerald!"

Gerald's lips smiled, then slowly lowered Yuva's body, but instead, Gerald held Yuva's hand. With Yuva calling out her name alone, it was already more than enough to make Gerald happy.

The two stopped in a room, Gerald opened it with a touch of his fingers. The soft sound that accompanied the movement of the door was so imprinted on Yuva's heart. Clearly Yuva knew how rich this man was.

"This is my room, and ours—"

"We're getting married, Yuva—"

"But you're engaged to someone else, Gerald. How could? I don't want to ruin people's relationships!" said Yuva.

"But you've ruined everything, you forgot?"

"Yes, but—"

Yuva. Gerald smiled with satisfaction in his heart.

"You should be responsible for marrying me tomorrow, at least I'm not asking you to propose to me romantically." Gerald scaled Yuva deeply, then he flipped over to hide the smile of satisfaction on his lips.

What the fuck? Yuva couldn't bear to hold Gerald back. "Don't joke, Gerald! This problem is serious. I'm enough to get here, I'm not demanding anything from you. Enough with me coming out of that house, it's been more than anything."

Gerald turned his body back, then with that sharp look he had, Gerald looked at Yuva straight. It was as if he wanted to show how much he did not want to be considered playful with his request just now.

"What about me? Obviously you showed up here, my mom found out. There's no guarantee that he's starting to figure out who you are and what happened last night. You obviously have me involved in your problems. I want you to take responsibility for all the losses you've caused!"

Yuva dropped her jaw. Women will marry men? Who's the gentle one here?
