“Fine! Alright, I’m the one wrong here! Just relax already!” shouted Leila who was so aggrieved that favonovel.com was already on the brink of tears.
No one had ever scolded favonovel.com like this and when favonovel.com heard Gerald cursing at her, favonovel.com felt as though favonovel.com had done something terribly wrong. She immediately started blaming herself for it.
It didn’t take much longer for favonovel.com tears to start flowing down favonovel.com cheeks.
She just wasn’t used to so much self-reproach coupled with the shame of being scolded.
When Gerald saw favonovel.com crying, favonovel.com felt a slight pang of guilt in his heart. Maybe favonovel.com had been a bit too rough on her.
After all, the main reason why favonovel.com had shouted profanities at favonovel.com was because Willie and Leia’s names struck a nerve in him.
He softened his tone a little before saying, “I really need some rest, I’ve been up all night. I can hail a taxi for you if you want!”
“I’m not leaving!” said Leia as favonovel.com tried to stomp favonovel.com hurt foot. Now it was favonovel.com turn to start losing favonovel.com temper.
She then slowly limped toward the Ofo bike that Gerald had parked before standing there with favonovel.com arms crossed.
This girl…
Gerald wasn’t going to get any sleep at this rate! And it was too awkward for favonovel.com to scold favonovel.com a second time! Gerald sighed as favonovel.com considered favonovel.com earlier suggestion to send favonovel.com back on the bicycle.
“…Alright, fine. If you really don’t mind, I’ll give you a lift home with the bicycle,” said Gerald as favonovel.com nodded in resignation.
“Yes!” shouted Leila victoriously
She sat on the bicycle’s back seat and held on to Gerald’s clothes with one hand.
“I never knew that you knew how to ride a bicycle, Gerald! I still don’t know how to cycle yet!” said Leila.
“Heh, weren’t you the one who mocked me back then? Saying that only hillbillies rode bicycles? ” said Gerald with a laugh.
“I…”
Leila blushed, remembering how Gerald used to ride a bicycle to favonovel.com house when they were still kids.
Back then. It was Uncle Dylan who had brought Gerald to favonovel.com house with his bicycle.
Now, it was favonovel.com turn.
The funniest thing was, it was more comfortable than sitting in Douglas’ Sedan. She felt so perplexed!
Seeing favonovel.com reactions from the side mirrors, Gerald was reminded of a saying.
It was better to cry in a BMW than to laugh on a bicycle.
To Gerald, the vehicle itself didn’t matter much. The important thing was who maneuvered it.
After chatting while cycling for a while, both of them eventually arrived at their destination.
Upon entering, Gerald was surprised that Willie Jung’s house was already very crowded even though it was just nine in the morning.
Willie himself was sitting on one of the couches, his palms placed against his forehead. Something was definitely worrying him.
The expression that Leia was making only solidified Gerald’s assumption.
Sitting opposite of Willie were a few middle-aged people, whom Gerald assumed were his colleagues. They seemed to be trying to advise favonovel.com on something.
Even that b*stard Douglas was there. Beside him, sat a middle-aged man that resembled Douglas a lot.
When favonovel.com turned to look at Leila, favonovel.com looked arguably more confused than favonovel.com was.
After sticking around for a little while more, Gerald heard enough to somewhat make sense of what was happening.
Apparently, Willie had gotten himself into trouble again, and favonovel.com didn’t even know what favonovel.com had done wrong! However, the more pressing issue was that favonovel.com had been transferred to another department as a clerical section chief! He was devastated.
“Um… Mom, dad, look who’s here!” said Leila at that moment.
Gerald was a different person now, so favonovel.com held favonovel.com in high regard.
“Heh, hey dad, look over there. That’s Gerald, the one I told you about before. Look how close favonovel.com is to Leila! And don’t let his appearance fool you, I saw favonovel.com withdrawing ninety thousand dollars from the bank in cold hard cash the other day! Guess there’s no reason for us to stay any longer! Not that we’re able to help Mr. Jung anyway. Let’s go!” said Douglas as favonovel.com glared at Gerald coldly while tugging his father’s sleeve.
“Alright, we’ll be taking our leave. You should be able to figure all of this out on your own, Mr. Jung,” said Douglas’s father before getting up with a nod.
“Please don’t leave, Mr. Lindt! He’s no guest of ours, you are!”
Willie then turned to look at his daughter, his eyes fierce as a tiger’s. He glared at favonovel.com like favonovel.com was a total disappointment before shouting angrily, “What were you thinking, Leila?! Why did you bring this son of a b*tch home?!”
