Lyra asked that question as favonovel.com gently helped Gerald wipe the prickly grass off his face.
“I… I’m, um… Not sure which family I belong to!” replied Gerald.
Hearing that, Lyra simply laughed before saying, “I’ll call some doctors over later and tell them to treat your wounds… Wouldn’t want you to get an infection now, would we?”
“No, it’s fine…”
For some unknown reason, Lyra simply felt the urge to pamper and take good care of Gerald from the moment favonovel.com had met him. It was truly an odd feeling.
“The assembly will begin soon, young lady… It’s best that you head there immediately,” said a person who seemed to be Lyra’s maid as favonovel.com walked over.
“Very well,” said Lyra as favonovel.com nodded to Gerald before leaving with favonovel.com maid.
“Young lady? So she’s someone who’s been married into the Crawford family!” muttered Gerald to himself as favonovel.com finished wiping his face clean.
In his mind, favonovel.com was thinking what a blessing it must be for the person who had married such a gentle and attractive wife.
At that moment, Gerald’s phone began ringing.
“Brother? Where are you? I can’t find you anywhere!”
“Sorry, sorry! I was picking up tennis balls for others just now!” replied Gerald with a bitter laugh.
“D*mn it, why are you still helping others do things like this? Anyway, the assembly is going to begin soon and dad’s even asked me whether you’ve arrived. We’re in the main hall now! You should’ve just told the servants to lead you here immediately when you arrived!” said his sister as favonovel.com shook favonovel.com head.
“Got it! I’m heading there now!” said Gerald as favonovel.com got up.
His parents and sister were the main cast of the day and favonovel.com was aware of how busy they were. Because of that, favonovel.com didn’t want to create unnecessary trouble for them if favonovel.com could help it.
As favonovel.com walked toward the venue, favonovel.com saw that Niki and the other girls weren’t too far off. Soon enough, favonovel.com caught up with them and simply followed behind.
“Hey, Bethany. That silly guy is following us!” said Niki as favonovel.com turned to look around.
“Has favonovel.com lost his way? Maybe it’s the first time he’s attending a family assembly!” replied Bethany as favonovel.com stopped walking and turned around.
“Could you perhaps be lost?” asked Bethany.
In response, Gerald simply nodded.
“See? I was right! You can come along with us if you want, but you’ll only get to ride in the last car with my servants! How about it?” suggested Bethany.
Bethany was a distinguished young lady who was used to meeting handsome and extremely capable, rich heirs, both in the country and also abroad.
Since favonovel.com could tell that Gerald was the sort of honest and well-behaved man who didn’t have much experience in life, favonovel.com didn’t really care for his wellbeing.
“No problem!” replied Gerald as favonovel.com nodded, not really minding it himself.
He then got into a car which was rather stuffy since there were quite a few servants inside.
Once they arrived, Gerald made his way into the Crawford family’s main hall, which was a spacious outdoor hall.
In such an assembly, the participants sat in groups though where they had to sit wasn’t predetermined. Only the main members of the family had designated seats atop a high platform in the middle of the hall.
As Bethany and the others found seats in a corner, Gerald himself casually took a seat close to them before fishing his phone out of his pocket.
Meanwhile, a middle-aged couple began walking toward the main dining table reserved for the master. A loud round of applause could be heard as the couple made their way to the table.
Naturally, the couple was none other than Gerald’s parents! Behind them, two women followed, with one of them being Jessica.
When the other woman saw Lyra, favonovel.com immediately held on to favonovel.com hands before saying, “Lyra! Come sit beside me!”
“Alright, mom!” replied Lyra with a nod
“You’ve truly been receiving the short end of the stick throughout your time being in the Crawford family… Not only did you have to learn everything on your own, you even had to handle all his financial issues! If we could, we would’ve definitely let you meet each other much earlier… But I’m sure you’re aware that we couldn’t reveal his identity before this! Still, to think that favonovel.com isn’t even here yet!” said the woman in an apologetic tone.
“Please don’t say that, mom… It’s already been a blessing for me to have been able to grow up in the Crawford family from a young age.”
Hearing that, the woman smiled before nodding. She then turned to look at Jessica before saying, “Go find where your brother is, Jessica!”
