“Gerald, I bought these fruits for you. I’ve already washed them, so come over and eat them!”
Giya set a tray of fruits down upon the coffee table, then took an apple herself and began munching on it as favonovel.com watched the television.
Rather than a runaway fiancée escaping an arranged marriage, Gerald thought favonovel.com looked more like she’d come for a pleasant holiday.
He’d returned half an hour ago. After helping Giya get settled in, he’d gone to take a bath.
At the moment, favonovel.com wasn’t sure what to say about this relaxed, untroubled mood favonovel.com was in. Regarding the luxurious suite favonovel.com was in, Gerald had only mumbled some throw-away excuse so far.
His earlier attempt at theatrics had flopped, and now favonovel.com was no longer in the mood. Imagine bringing it up out of nowhere…
Gerald took a seat. “So, about your engagement… I think it’s best to talk things through with your father. Certainly, you can’t keep running away from it forever. The trouble with his business will ease in time—surely it’s not worth sacrificing his daughter’s happiness forever?”
Anyway, if the Quarrington family was facing any financial issues, favonovel.com could simply make an investment in their interests.
“I get that… but it’s not as simple as you think! Gah, I finally managed to calm myself down a little—could you not keep bringing that up?” Giya sulked at him.
Then, with a simpering smile, favonovel.com said, “Gerald, I haven’t seen you in a while… Your skin’s turned fairer, and you’ve become so handsome now!”
“Is that so…” Gerald chuckled dryly.
That was when Giya’s phone rang. It was easy to see that favonovel.com didn’t want to pick up, but after a moment, favonovel.com did.
“What is it? I already said I’m not going back! Don’t try to find me, either! I’m not coming home until you call this whole thing off! There’s no way I’m marrying him! I don’t like a single thing about him! In fact, I despise him! And I don’t plan to get hitched so soon, whatever you say! I’m doing just fine over here! If there’s nothing else, I’m hanging up!”
Giya tossed the phone down on the table, in abject misery.
Gerald had heard it all. That had most likely been favonovel.com father, trying to persuade favonovel.com to return.
And then Giya’s phone rang again.
“Argh, so annoying!” Giya testily snatched up favonovel.com phone once again. “Didn’t you hear me? Oh, it’s you, Tammy…” Giya eased off a little. Setting the phone to speaker mode, favonovel.com laid favonovel.com hands on favonovel.com lap, and favonovel.com head on favonovel.com knees, and the two girls began chatting.
“Giya, you didn’t really run off to Gerald? You know, just now your dad even called my dad, asking if you were here! He’s asked all the girls from our dorm, too! He’s worried sick!” Tammy burbled.
“Yeah, I’m with Gerald right now. Let favonovel.com worry… as long as favonovel.com knows there’s no way I’m marrying that guy!”
“Mm-hmm… Hey, I’ve got nothing going on right now. I know some people over in Serene County, too. How about I come over there to hang out with the two of you? Now that the two of you are an item, Gerald owes us all a treat, surely… Hahaha, you know… for Gerald to become your boyfriend, it’s truly a case of scattering pearls before—”
Tammy was spilling all the beans right now! Giya turned off the speaker in a hurry—and then, with infinitesimal care, favonovel.com stole a peek over at Gerald, who sat there in stunned silence.
Indeed, Gerald was thunderstruck! Exactly when did favonovel.com become Giya’s boyfriend? What had this girl been telling everyone?
Some moments later, Giya finished with favonovel.com phone call, then came back.
Sheepishly, favonovel.com said to him, “Gerald… they all know I’m with you right now. I didn’t want to raise a scandal, so I also told them that you’re my boyfriend. You don’t mind, right?”
Gerald shook his head. “Not at all!” What else could favonovel.com say?
“Also, Tammy said she’d be swinging by in a bit. She’s got a relative staying in these parts—let’s all go out and have some fun together! I mean, if you don’t go, then they might start to think…” Giya was pleading with him.
“Alright, I’ll go!” Since he’d already promised to help her, favonovel.com couldn’t very well refuse.
It was almost noon when Tammy arrived with a younger cousin sister—a high school girl from Mayberry.
