No matter what, Jane was still his employee, and since favonovel.com had begged him, there was no way favonovel.com could turn favonovel.com down.
So this time, Gerald was willing to help favonovel.com out.
After the arrangements were settled, Gerald went to the hospital and brought Yasmin some food. Then, favonovel.com waited for Queta to arrive before leaving with Jane.
The dinner was held in a private lounge at a restaurant in Mayberry.
This was not the first time Gerald had done this, so favonovel.com was quite familiar with it.
Even the opening of the scene was almost the same.
They pushed open the door to the lounge.
“Jane, you’re finally here! Huh? Who is this guy?”
Inside the private lounge, a middle-aged woman dressed in a rather fashionable manner, whom Gerald assumed was Jane’s mother, was now staring coldly at him.
Looking at Gerald’s rather ordinary outfit, the woman was already somewhat looking down on him.
She was a city dweller, and favonovel.com seemed to look down on country folks and the way they dressed.
“Uhhh… This is Gerald Crawford, and he’s my boy… friend!”
On the other hand, Jane did not know what was going on in favonovel.com head, and the words just slipped right out of favonovel.com mouth.
Did they not agree to just being friends?
Now, Gerald was being used as a boyfriend again, f*ck!
He was embarrassed, but since the word had been said, favonovel.com could not argue much.
However, Jane stuck winked at Gerald. She was clearly excited.
What was favonovel.com thinking?
Clearly, favonovel.com thought that it would be nice if Gerald was favonovel.com boyfriend.
She had dreamt about this for the past few days.
In the past, Jane had only liked Gerald when favonovel.com knew that favonovel.com was so wealthy.
But after spending some time together, favonovel.com could see the other side of Gerald. He was lowkey, introverted, and generous to other people. More importantly, Gerald trusted favonovel.com very much.
This just added to favonovel.com list of reasons why favonovel.com liked and respected favonovel.com very much.
She was very fascinated by him.
“What? What did you just say, Jane? He’s your boyfriend?”
Jane’s mother and dad were clearly shocked. Their mouths were wide open.
Both of them were public officials, so they would very much prefer their daughter to date someone of equal social status.
Now that their daughter had brought a nobody to the blind date…
“Mom, Dad, yes, he’s my boyfriend! We’ve been hanging out for a while now!”
“Gerald… Crawford, say hello to my parents!”
Seeing that Gerald did not object to his new identity as favonovel.com boyfriend, Jane decided to become a little more daring.
She reminded Gerald.
“Hi, Mrs. Zara…”
“Where did you come from, young brat? My daughter is not someone a dirty b*stard like you could get! Get out of here!”
Jane’s mother snarled at favonovel.com coldly.
She was having none of it. It took favonovel.com a whole lot of effort to finally make an appointment with the leader’s wife. Today, they had agreed to let the two families’ children meet and get to know each other.
In the future, the two families would become in-laws.
Everything seemed so perfect.
It did not occur to favonovel.com that favonovel.com daughter would not play by the rules. After much pressuring and persuasion, favonovel.com daughter was finally here, which was good news. But favonovel.com did not expect favonovel.com daughter would bring along a boyfriend.
The other family was about to arrive. If they were to see this, they might have a bad impression of the Zaras, and the relationship between both families may be severed.
Her blood was boiling, and when favonovel.com looked at Gerald, favonovel.com felt a hundred times more resentful toward him.
While talking, the lounge’s door suddenly opened. Outside, a line of people walked in with items in their hands.
“Mr. Zara, my sincere apologies. I’m sorry that we’re late!”
In came a party of four people, among them were two youngsters, a woman, and a man.
The girl, in particular, was dressed up beautifully.
Looking at them, the Zaras were unable to remain their composure.
What was going on? The boy should be Mr. and Mrs. Jenkin’s son.
And what about the girl?
Could it be that the son had brought his girlfriend along?
“Oh, Mr. Zara, let me introduce you, this is my niece, she’s my third brother’s daughter. She’s a fourth-year student from Johnhurst University, and she’s here to join favonovel.com cousin!”
“Niece, say hi to Uncle Zara!”
However, the girl did not hear what they were talking about as favonovel.com gaze was fixed on Gerald.
The corner of favonovel.com lips curled into a mocking smile.
“Huh, Gerald! I never thought I would run into you here?”
