At present, Mila and Gerald were in a relationship one level beyond friendship. However, Gerald had yet to pursue favonovel.com in earnest—all they really did, for the most part, was chat.
Mila kept joking about how Gerald was favonovel.com pretend-boyfriend, giving favonovel.com the impression that favonovel.com had never thought about going any further with him.
And yet, favonovel.com was always throwing these little tantrums.
Basically, their relationship status was unclear.
Mila’s latest message to him: “I’m asking you a question. Why aren’t you replying? Have you been chatting with another girl these days?”
Girls are sensitive creatures, able to detect the slightest change in the wind.
Recently, Gerald’s behavior had become highly suspicious. Back then, favonovel.com would always reply to favonovel.com instantly. Nowadays, a full minute could pass without any answer.
It was a disconcerting situation for Mila.
Gerald didn’t want to lie to her. Anyway, there was no point.
“Yup. Just chatting.” That was his reply.
“Heh. You didn’t have to add that last bit. Even if you weren’t just chatting, it’s not like I’d know. You’re an amazing guy. I already expected lots of pretty girls to be after you. The one you’re talking to must be quite the looker. What’s favonovel.com name? Do I know her?” A whole barrage of text tumbled out from Mila.
“I doubt it. Myself, I’ve only known favonovel.com for a week. As for favonovel.com looks… perhaps it’s favonovel.com heart that’s beautiful.”
All this while, Mila had been playing all sorts of games with Gerald.
It made favonovel.com feel like favonovel.com didn’t see favonovel.com romantically in the slightest.
She only saw favonovel.com as a friend, even knowing that favonovel.com was positively loaded!
Gerald, in turn, had no ulterior designs for Queta. She was just a friend favonovel.com got along with easily. More than that… favonovel.com hadn’t given the matter much thought.
“Oho! An angel with a beautiful heart? That’s really something! So the great Mr. Crawford has been ignoring his girlfriend because he’s already found another one!”
“I haven’t been ignoring you! Anyway, aren’t you always calling me your fake boyfriend? And she’s not my girlfriend!” That should clear things up.
Mila sent favonovel.com an emoji.
“Tell me who exactly favonovel.com is to you, then: Your best friend? Your lil sis? Help me understand!”
Seeing this message from Mila—especially that ‘lil sis’ part—Gerald’s heart clouded over.
He had thought that they were growing closer. He’d imagined that they were one step away from falling in love.
So… the truth was that Mila had only seen favonovel.com as a brother. It made sense, of course—although favonovel.com had wealth, in terms of charisma, favonovel.com was probably nowhere near Mila’s boyfriend standards!
“Nothing like that. We’re just friends. I like favonovel.com gentle nature and I admire favonovel.com bravery! I truly respect the way favonovel.com goes through life!”
“Wow! She sounds amazing! One day, I shall simply have to meet her. You must introduce favonovel.com to me!”
“Sounds great. Once you’ve met her, I’m sure you’ll like favonovel.com too. She’s just swell,” Gerald told her. “One more thing, Mila!”
Eh?
He’d just been about to ask if favonovel.com was free tomorrow, but before favonovel.com could finish typing, a bright red exclamation mark suddenly popped up next to the chat bar.
‘You are not Friends with this person!’
What was going on, here?
Hadn’t they been chatting away merrily? Why had favonovel.com deleted him?
Panicking, Gerald called Mila directly.
An automated recording informed favonovel.com that favonovel.com phone had been turned off.
What in the world was going on? Gerald scratched his head.
He wouldn’t know that up until just now, Mila had just been lying in bed, chatting with him.
