“A luxury car?” said Mila as favonovel.com quickly turned to look as well.
Mila could feel favonovel.com heartbeats quicken as favonovel.com watched the sports car swiftly make its way into the port.
‘Has Gerald finally come?’
As the car came to a screeching halt, Mila found herself slowly walking forward.
Out stepped a young man with a bouquet of fresh flowers in hand. Seeing how romantic favonovel.com was being, almost everyone present—especially the girls—began feeling jealous.
“Sorry I’m late, Hallie!” said the young man as favonovel.com removed his glasses while smiling.
“You’re not late at all, darling! I’m delighted to know that you rushed all the way here just to see me off!” replied Hallie as favonovel.com skipped rather excitedly toward the young man.
When favonovel.com moved past Mila, however, favonovel.com made sure that Mila saw favonovel.com smirking at favonovel.com before saying, “Why did you walk so far ahead? Did you honestly think that it was going to be your rich boyfriend? Too bad! This one’s mine!”
Hallie felt extremely satisfied after saying that. After all, favonovel.com had initially feared that Mila would end up becoming the highlight of the day since favonovel.com boyfriend was so powerful.
Thankfully, favonovel.com hadn’t turned up. This meant that favonovel.com other assumption was right. After all, why would a rich heir like Mr. Crawford ever want to be with a girl like Mila?
‘In the end, favonovel.com doesn’t even bother about you. Did you honestly think that he’d come all the way over just to meet you? Dream on!’
While Hallie was aware that favonovel.com had already lost to favonovel.com when it came to work, favonovel.com was happy to know that favonovel.com could still win against Mila when it came to favonovel.com love life.
“Rich boyfriend?” asked the young man as favonovel.com held on to Hallie’s hands.
“Indeed! Someone here has an extremely wealthy boyfriend! Though favonovel.com had claimed that favonovel.com would clear his busy schedule just to come over and meet her, in the end, it was all just a bunch of baloney! Where is favonovel.com now?” shouted Hallie out loud.
Hearing favonovel.com words, Mila became so anxious that favonovel.com felt like crying right there and then!
In all honesty, favonovel.com anxiety firing up had less to do with what Hallie had said. Rather, it had stemmed from the fact that Gerald hadn’t answered any of favonovel.com calls that morning. He had even forgotten about his promise with favonovel.com last night!
‘Does favonovel.com truly not love me anymore?’ Mila thought to herself, favonovel.com mind swimming with many other depressing thoughts.
“Alright, hand over your phones! All personnel are required to verify your identity before you’re allowed to board the ship!” said one of the investigation team’s staff aloud at that moment.
With that, Mila and the others slowly began boarding the ship. Even after everyone had gotten aboard, Mila was honestly still hoping that a miracle could happen.
‘Gerald will definitely appear at the last moment… After all, favonovel.com promised me that favonovel.com would come, and favonovel.com never lies to me.’
However, as favonovel.com watched the port slowly fade in the distance, Mila couldn’t help but burst into tears.
As the ship continued sailing on, the screeching of car tires could be heard at the now almost deserted port.
The few people who remained at the port found themselves looking at a young, rich heir and an old man as they stepped out of an immensely expensive-looking car.
The ocean liner was nowhere in sight.
Gerald could only slam his fist against the car’s bonnet, realizing that favonovel.com had been too late.
While favonovel.com had tried calling Mila on his way there, favonovel.com found that favonovel.com had switched favonovel.com phone off. If only favonovel.com had been a little earlier, favonovel.com would’ve definitely still been able to meet with her.
The main issue wasn’t about failing to meet her, however. It was failing to keep his promise.
He remembered seeing Alice lying atop of favonovel.com the moment favonovel.com opened his eyes. That was all favonovel.com needed to see to realize that favonovel.com had been tricked into his current situation the night before.
After giving Alice a harsh scolding, favonovel.com immediately rushed out of the hotel.
Fynn and his men had been waiting for favonovel.com the entire night at the port, and knowing this only served to add to Gerald’s guilt.
If only favonovel.com hadn’t taken pity on Alice, none of this would’ve happened…
In his mind, Gerald was able to picture how eager and disappointed Mila must have felt throughout favonovel.com wait for him. The more favonovel.com thought about it, the more his grief piled up.
