The Invisible Rich Man's
Chapter 556
As he drives, Gerald sees something strange. There seems to be a sudden increase in luxury cars in the city. Most of them are parked outside the hotel.
Although it was a bit strange, Gerald did not think too much about it.
At that moment, Gerald's phone started ringing. He saw that it was a call from Mrs. Winters.
"What's up, Mrs Winters?" gerald asked with a smile after picking up the phone.
“Gerald? Where are you at? I saw that Queeny had gone home alone before. He looks a little upset. Are you both involved in some kind of quarrel? Did he leave you alone there?” ask Mrs. Winters, her voice was full of worry.
"Don't worry, I'll drive back now in a friend's car!" Gerald had no choice but to say it was for Mrs. Winters did not think much about the situation.
"I understand! That's good to hear.. By the way Gerald, can you get a bag of rice in the city on the way home? That way your uncle won't have to come out again!”
"No problem!"
Gerald then found a nearby supermarket and bought two sacks of rice, a bottle of peanut oil, and several other items.
When Gerald moved the items into the car, he remembered that when he had just returned to Serene County, Mr. Winters refused to take the money from Gerald. Gerald had promised himself back then, that since they would not accept his money, he would only use the money to get their needs.
Realizing that he had almost forgotten his promise to himself, he rushed back to the supermarket. After several trips in and out to make sure he could carry them all, Gerald ended up buying a few boxes of milk, good wine, and various herbs and spices as well.
As he opened the trunk of his car which was almost filled to the brim again, he heard a surprised voice calling out to him.
"Gerald?"
Gerald was holding a pot of presto in his hand when he turned around to see who was calling him. It was a girl standing at the entrance of a hotel that was right next to the supermarket.
“F *ck! The leila? What are you doing in this city?”
The girl standing at the entrance of the hotel was definitely Leila, and it made Gerald just as surprised as he was. After all, she never thought she would see anyone from the Jung family again after the incident.
Gerald was too disappointed and heartbroken with them. Even after Willie faces further problems, Gerald completely ignores them even though his father always reminds to keep them on his behalf.
He also did not answer Leila's phone. This made their current situation more awkward than it should be.
Leila was still very kind and polite towards Gerald. He then started walking towards her. It was clear that he wanted to continue chatting.
"We? Who else are you coming with?” ask Gerald.
“My parents and my father's colleagues.They are here for fun!” leila replied in a soft tone.
"I understand!" said Gerald while nodding.
Is there anything interesting in Touin? Why do so many people specifically come here for fun? However, Gerald didn't really want to continue talking to Leila anymore. Therefore, he did not bother to ask her for more details.
"By the way, Gerald, are you still living in your house?" ask Leila.
"of course. Where else will I stay?”
"I understand! I guess I've never been to your house. After all, you were the one who always came to my house when we were kids!” leila replied with a smile.
“Alright then, if there is nothing else, I will go first! I have to go home quickly to cook!” gerald said, immediately changing the topic.
Leila realized that Gerald didn't want to talk to her. However, the more Gerald ignored her, the more he wanted to chat with her!
After all, she was Leila Jung! Does he really not deserve his time and attention?
“By the way, Gerald, you only bought one cable for your pressure cooker. Are you not planning to get one backup? After all, the voltage in the village can become very unstable and the cable is flammable!”
"Ah. I didn't really think about that. Thank you!" gerald replied with a faint smile. If he had only acted like this to her in the past, things could have been perfect.
After placing the pressure cooker into his car, he turned to re-enter the supermarket again to get another spare cable.
“Hehe... You know, since I'm going to stay in, you can hand it to me!”
Before she could stop him, Leila had already run to the supermarket. Shortly after, he returned with a spare cable in hand. Just as he handed it to Gerald, the voice of a middle-aged man sounded from the hotel entrance.
"Leila, what are you doing?"
