Gerald’s main purpose of attending the event was just to intimidate them.
He wanted the Longs to know that they were messing with the wrong person, and that they should re-evaluate their decision of pursuing their revenge against him.
Now that favonovel.com had completed what favonovel.com had set out to do, Gerald was ready to leave.
Sometime after getting into his car, favonovel.com noticed that someone was tailing him.
Looking into his rear-view mirror, favonovel.com realized who was in the car, so favonovel.com simply paid the vehicle no further attention.
Once favonovel.com arrived at the hotel’s entrance, Gerald was just about to enter when a girl’s voice called out to him.
“Are you planning to just ignore me forever, Gerald?!”
Of course, the person in the car earlier was Giya.
“There’s no reason for us to maintain our relationship anymore. Yunus should no longer pester you either, so isn’t that good enough?” replied Gerald.
“Can’t we even just be friends anymore?” replied Giya.
She was discontent with the way Gerald was currently treating her.
Pausing for a moment, Gerald eventually turned around and simply walked away from favonovel.com without saying another word.
The truth was, Gerald was feeling quite upset about the entire thing. After all, Giya was a nice person and favonovel.com even treated favonovel.com well.
This was the exact reason why favonovel.com had to be firm with his decision. He could no longer afford to be the obsequious person favonovel.com had been before.
“S-stop right there you son of a b*tch!” shouted Tammy as favonovel.com huffed and puffed while running toward Gerald.
“You’re such a bad person, Gerald! How could you do this to Giya? Do you know how much favonovel.com always mentions your name in front of us? While it’s true that you’ve had some trouble with Giya misunderstanding you, you should also know how terribly sad Giya was! She had even gone to find Rosalie in hopes that favonovel.com would forgive you and not pursue the matter any further! Though the Owens hadn’t promised favonovel.com that they would forgive you, that still doesn’t mean you can treat favonovel.com like this!” shouted Tammy.
This was true as the day that incident happened, Giya had personally met up with Rosalie. Despite favonovel.com efforts, the Owens had been reluctant to let go of the matter that easily.
“Aside from that, there’ve been rumors in Mayberry that Giya is your girlfriend! They all thought that the reason you attended Yunus’s birthday ceremony was to make a scene for Giya’s sake! While I know that the rumors don’t affect you, have you actually thought about what Giya will be going through now? How the Long family now thinks of her? What do you even suppose Giya should do now?”
“That’s quite enough, Tammy! I already know why Gerald is ignoring me!” said Giya as favonovel.com wiped favonovel.com tears.
Staring straight at him, Giya then added, “I… I know I was being selfish. However, I have one final request from you, Gerald. Remember that time I was hospitalized after being kidnapped? You told me that you would do one thing for me as long as you could manage it. Tell me Gerald, does that statement still stand?”
“It does,” replied Gerald with a nod.
Gerald also remembered that Giya had gone over to look for favonovel.com back then to escape favonovel.com marriage. Once favonovel.com arrived in Mayberry, favonovel.com had been kidnapped because favonovel.com hadn’t paid any attention to her.
He had blamed himself for the entire situation back then, which was why favonovel.com had told favonovel.com that favonovel.com could make a single request which favonovel.com would then try to fulfill.
At the time, Giya had playfully said that since Gerald had been the one who suggested it, favonovel.com wasn’t allowed to take back what favonovel.com had said.
Gerald however, knew that favonovel.com had meant every word that favonovel.com said.
While that promise had laid dormant all this time, it had finally resurfaced again.
“Tell me what you want. As long as I can do it, I’ll help you with it!” said Gerald.
After all, a promise was a promise. In addition, Gerald just couldn’t bear breaking favonovel.com heart any further. He didn’t even know how to refuse favonovel.com anymore.
“That’s good to know… Rest assured, once you fulfill that favor, I’ll never pester you again. I’ll disappear from your life for good!”
“So… What exactly is the favor?”
“I want you to marry me!”
“…Come again? Marry?”
Despite having mentally prepared himself for whatever favonovel.com was going to throw at him, Gerald still ended up being shocked when favonovel.com heard those words.
“Ah, there’s no need to be afraid. I don’t mean an actual marriage. I just need you to fake a marriage with me in front of the Owens and Long family. Will you be able to do that for me?” asked Giya.
