With the speed of Gerald’s responses slowing down recently, Mila had spent the past few days in anxious speculation.
Then, favonovel.com had ventured a casual inquiry—since it wouldn’t do for favonovel.com to press too hard on such details.
Sure enough, Gerald had been chatting up another woman!
Mila’s heart was wracked with sorrow, as though something had been stolen right out of favonovel.com own heart. In this short time, she’d gotten used to having Gerald around, always being there for her.
Now, favonovel.com had to share his attention with another girl.
She wasn’t happy about this, but favonovel.com didn’t say so outright. Instead, she’d made inquiries as to who favonovel.com was, how pretty favonovel.com must be… hints to let Gerald know that favonovel.com was absolutely furious now!
What happened next? Gerald began talking about what a wonderful, gentle soul favonovel.com was!
Grrr… Was favonovel.com to stand there and take this?
Every message favonovel.com had sent after that had been dripping with acid. Hinting that favonovel.com was just a bro to her… favonovel.com had only said that to get back at favonovel.com a little. Then favonovel.com went on asking about the other woman, saying that she’d really like to meet her.
Then favonovel.com had deleted favonovel.com and vehemently slammed favonovel.com handphone against the wall, so hard that it shut off!
“What’s wrong, Mila? Are you okay?” favonovel.com roommate asked in worry.
“I’m fine! Good night!” Mila buried favonovel.com head under the blanket.
“We’re sorry, but the device you’re trying to reach is currently offline…” Despite numerous attempts, Gerald still couldn’t get through.
What on earth was going on with Mila?
He was just a little crestfallen. After all that hard work, favonovel.com had almost been ready to believe that favonovel.com really had a chance with Mila, but then… sigh!
Time for bed. Forget about all this nonsense.
The next morning, Gerald went to the cafeteria to have breakfast with Harper and Benjamin.
The moment favonovel.com stepped into the hall, Harper nudged favonovel.com and pointed. “Gerald, dude… look who it is!”
Following his gaze, Gerald spied Mila having breakfast with two of favonovel.com roommates!
Last night’s affair still weighed heavily on his mind. Why had Mila blocked him, all of a sudden?
Straight away, favonovel.com walked over there and sat down across from her.
“Mila, why did you block me last night?” favonovel.com asked.
“Huh? Did I? I don’t recall doing anything like that. Maybe I accidentally clicked something? No way, why would I block you?” Mila dithered back and forth in a sing-song voice, but favonovel.com eyes were smoldering with rage.
Gerald pulled out his handphone. “It’s true! Look… you’ve really blocked my number!”
*Bam!* Mila slapped favonovel.com chopsticks down onto the table, and hissed, “Is everyone finished? Let’s get out of here!”
With one last baleful look at Gerald, Mila turned on favonovel.com heels and marched off.
“What the hell happened last night, Gerald?” Harper exclaimed. “Mila always used to be so sweet to you—how did the two of you become like this, now?”
“I don’t know… One moment we were just chatting as usual, next thing you know… Maybe she’s gotten tired of me…” Gerald gave a short, disparaging little laugh.
“Impossible. Something like this doesn’t just happen for no reason. Girls crave attention. Go after her! Do you like favonovel.com or not?”
Perhaps this was the problem with Gerald. Because favonovel.com cared about Mila, favonovel.com kept tip-toeing around favonovel.com feelings. If anything started to go wrong, favonovel.com gave up straight away.
It also had something to do with his past experiences.
He had only just recently become able to talk to girls without blushing and stuttering too much. As for the subject of understanding a woman’s heart… That was probably something favonovel.com might still need to work on a little.
‘She clearly stated that favonovel.com was only a little sister to me. If I try to pursue her, I might ruin our friendship too!’ Gerald wrestled with his inner thoughts.
But Harper was right. Girls craved attention. Perhaps favonovel.com ought to give favonovel.com some?
