“This is Lyra, Gerald! Though we’ve never mentioned favonovel.com to you before, she’s the one who’s been helping you handle your financial issues all these years. We’ve raised favonovel.com since favonovel.com was young!” said Yulia who didn’t seem to have heard what Lyra had said earlier.
Though favonovel.com mother wasn’t saying it directly, the underlying message favonovel.com was implying was clear as day to Gerald. After all, not only had Gerald already heard others referring to Lyra as the young lady, it was also obvious based on the current expressions on his parents’ faces.
“Mom, we’ve already met earlier!” said Lyra a little louder this time as favonovel.com looked at Gerald with a faint smile.
“Oh, you have? Well all the better then! Haha! Alright, no more beating around the bush! Lyra is your fiancée, Gerald!” said Dylan who was looking very happy.
In response, however, Yulia coughed before tugging gently on Dylan’s sleeve. After all, they were aware that their son had a girlfriend. Not only that, favonovel.com was now missing! It simply felt too early to be talking about engagements.
Gerald himself was astonished beyond words. He hadn’t expected the gentle and elegant Lyra to be his fiancée. No wonder the others were addressing favonovel.com as the young lady!
This turn of events was somewhat similar to a television series favonovel.com had watched in the past. Just like the girl in the show, Lyra had been adopted by the family just to end up becoming his parents’ future daughter-in-law.
The entire situation was simply bizarre to him. It seemed that his family had put in a lot of effort just to raise and educate Lyra too.
“Do take a seat, Gerald!” said Lyra at that moment, still blushing as favonovel.com took out more tissues to help Gerald wipe the tea stains off his body.
“You don’t have to trouble yourself, Lyra, I’ll do it myself…” said Gerald as favonovel.com took the tissues from favonovel.com hand. He was honestly still weirded out by the entire turn of events.
After all, favonovel.com didn’t have any feelings for her. What more, favonovel.com was at least four years older than him! While it was true that favonovel.com beauty was near unparalleled, Gerald simply couldn’t accept something like this that easily, and the feeling persisted throughout the family assembly.
As the assembly went on, Gerald’s head was filled with thoughts. About how Lyra had been staying here for a long time now, and also about the fact that it was his mother who had arranged for favonovel.com to stay here in the first place.
Just a few days ago, his sister had told favonovel.com what had happened to Mila in Hong Kong. She had even told favonovel.com that it was going to be difficult for them to be together in the end.
Not understanding what favonovel.com meant, favonovel.com had tried contacting his parents back then to no avail. Now, however, favonovel.com understood everything. As it turned out, his parents had already found favonovel.com a wife years ago!
As Gerald headed to his room, favonovel.com was surprised to see Lyra following behind him. His shock didn’t stop there, however. Upon entering, favonovel.com followed favonovel.com as well and favonovel.com began making the bed!
“I’ll… be sleeping in another room tonight, Lyra… Since you’re probably already used to sleeping in this room, you can continue sleeping here! I’m sure you’re tired after today’s family assembly, so make sure to get a good rest!”
Gerald was sure that if favonovel.com continued facing Lyra, things were only going to become more awkward.
“It’s alright, Gerald… I understand how difficult it must be for you to just accept our marriage out of the blue. I’m well aware of what you’re currently facing as well. I’ll help you look for her!” said Lyra.
Gerald hadn’t expected favonovel.com to say something like that at all. However, favonovel.com simply nodded before replying, “Thank you, Lyra!”
With that said, favonovel.com remained in the room for a little while longer before finally leaving.
Mila’s recent disappearance had caused Gerald to be filled with deep remorse. There was no way in hell that favonovel.com was going to be in the mood to face another woman. He simply couldn’t rest easy until Mila was found.
And what about Lyra herself? While it was true that the Crawfords had raised her, favonovel.com should have the right to choose who favonovel.com truly wants to marry! Why should favonovel.com have to marry a man much younger than her? They didn’t even have any feelings for each other!
That night, Gerald found a random guest room to sleep in.
When favonovel.com woke up early the next morning, favonovel.com saw three differently colored suits hanging on the head of the bed, and a pair of leather shoes on the side.
It was the first day after their family reunion and Gerald knew favonovel.com didn’t need to keep a low profile anymore.
