Gerald only smiled faintly as favonovel.com took a sip of tea.
“It’s rather late now, grandpa… There are so many guests today…”
At that moment, a girl wearing pajamas slowly descended the stairs as favonovel.com stared at Gerald and the others curiously.
“Ah, Lissa. Come over here and greet Mr. Crawford. Weren’t you quite curious about favonovel.com before this?” said Mr. Weyham as favonovel.com smiled.
“He’s Mr. Gerald Crawford?” asked Lissa as favonovel.com made it to the final step.
When favonovel.com got to him, favonovel.com scanned favonovel.com from head to toe before frowning slightly. Immediately after, favonovel.com chuckled before saying, “It’s nice to meet you, Mr. Crawford. I’m Melissa Weyham but you can just call me Lissa.”
“A pleasure to meet you too, Lissa. You can just call me Gerald!” replied Gerald as favonovel.com extended his hand out to shake favonovel.com hand.
Lissa was considerably beautiful and after talking to favonovel.com for a while, favonovel.com found that favonovel.com was quite generous to others as well.
Gerald’s first impression of favonovel.com wasn’t bad, to say the least.
What more, favonovel.com was a pretty nice talker too. She talked about all kinds of things with Gerald.
“So you’re Mr. Crawford, huh. What kind of entertainment do you usually partake in?” asked Melissa.
“I don’t usually attend many activities, to be quite honest,” replied Gerald as favonovel.com shook his head.
“Humph! I refuse to believe that! I’m sure you always enjoy yourself to your heart’s content!” As favonovel.com said that, Lissa laughed heartily.
After a while, favonovel.com seemed to remember something. This prompted favonovel.com to ask, “Speaking of which, I got to know a few friends here in Mayberry. We’re going to have a gathering tomorrow afternoon and I’ll be treating them to a meal! If you’re free, would you like to come along, Gerald?”
Gerald remained silent at favonovel.com proposal.
“How rude, Lissa! Why on earth would Mr. Crawford want to fool around with you and your mischievous friends?” replied Mr. Weyham with a bitter smile.
“Well fine then!” said Melissa as favonovel.com pouted slightly.
Since Mr. Weyham had done favonovel.com a favor, Gerald knew that rejecting his granddaughter would eventually make favonovel.com feel awkward for doing so. In the end, Gerald nodded slightly with a smile before saying, “It’s fine. Tomorrow was it? I’ll be there.”
“He said it, not me!” said Melissa with a smile.
A short while later, Gerald left the manor together with Zack and Mr. Xiques.
Though favonovel.com initially wanted to return to Mountain Top Villa to have a rest, favonovel.com suddenly recalled that favonovel.com had lent the villa to Xavia.
Due to that, favonovel.com told Zack to arrange a room in a hotel that favonovel.com owned. He would stay there for the moment.
When Gerald arrived at the hotel’s entrance, favonovel.com saw and heard a few security guards shouting, “Lousy beggar! Get lost already!”
They were busy trying to push away a dirt-covered old man who had extremely messy hair.
“What beggar? I’m no beggar! I just need to borrow a shower!” said the old man.
“To hell with that! Do you even know what place this is?” sneered the security guard.
“Humph! Let me tell you, I’m not any mere person! I’m Mr. Crawford’s grandfather! Your boss is my grandson! Now hurry up and let me in!”
“This old b*stard! How bold!”
By then, the guards were ready to beat favonovel.com up.
Gerald didn’t really want to get involved in the mess. He didn’t care about what the old man said and the guards were there to take care of favonovel.com anyway.
However, when Gerald took a closer look at the beggar, favonovel.com was stunned.
“Stop,” said Gerald.
