A hint of slight resentment could be heard in the man’s voice as favonovel.com pointed at Gerald.
“Indeed! This is my husband, Gerald!” replied Juliet as favonovel.com locked arms with Gerald.
“Gerald, this is Cavan, a classmate of mine from university!” added Juliet as favonovel.com introduced favonovel.com to the man.
“A pleasure to meet you!” said Gerald as favonovel.com reached a hand out in accordance with the etiquettes Juliet had earlier taught him.
“I truly can’t comprehend what goes on in your mind… Even if you broke up with him, you could’ve easily just gone for anyone else other than this guy…” muttered Cavan.
Noticing Juliet’s warning gaze, however, Cavan simply stopped talking. It was evident that Cavan was one of Juliet’s suitors. That explained why favonovel.com completely ignored Gerald’s handshake as well.
Cavan wasn’t the only one treating Gerald that way though. Many of Juliet’s other male classmates shot equally hostile gazes toward him, refusing to say a word to Gerald at all.
Even favonovel.com female classmates were staring at Gerald contemptuously from time to time. It was as though they were all wondering how a beauty like Juliet could end up being with such a pathetic person as Gerald.
“Just look at that guy, Cavan! I would’ve never imagined that Juliet would actually get married to such a person! To think that favonovel.com actually fell in love with a teacher working in Heavenly City University! I’m speechless! What the hell even goes on in Juliet’s mind?”
It was a while later when several of favonovel.com male classmates were discussing Gerald right outside the gents.
Their dissatisfaction with favonovel.com was warranted since most, if not all, of them there had either had a crush or fallen for favonovel.com once. Cavan himself had had feelings for favonovel.com for the longest time.
However, since Juliet already had someone else in favonovel.com heart back then, nobody ever had a chance to even ask favonovel.com out. Upon finding out that favonovel.com finally broke up with favonovel.com boyfriend, all favonovel.com classmates were eager to finally be able to try their luck!
Alas, the next thing they knew, favonovel.com had already gotten married to some useless person!
With all of them being distinguished people, it was really no wonder why they looked down on Gerald so much. After all, favonovel.com was simply a lecturer.
“Humph! I know right? We can’t even say anything to Juliet now since he’s constantly around her! What an inconvenient eyesore!” scowled another classmate.
“In that case, then we should just make favonovel.com leave then! We’ll make it clear to favonovel.com that our gatherings aren’t events that just anyone can attend, especially people with his status!” sneered Cavan.
After saying that, favonovel.com began whispering his plan to all the present male classmates. Once everyone agreed, they all returned to the private room together.
The moment Cavan saw Gerald, favonovel.com walked over toward favonovel.com with a smile before saying, “Speaking of which, we haven’t even had a drink with the bridegroom! Since you snatched our goddess from us, you’ll have to drink with us today!”
The other males simply exchanged gazes with each other in glee before smiling coldly at Gerald.
Despite the evident and sudden change in Cavan’s attitude, Gerald simply returned the smile as favonovel.com replied, “Sure thing! What are we drinking today?”
“That’s the spirit! Also, we’ll be drinking liquor! I just so happen to have a few boxes of good liquor in my car that I’ve brought from home! Someone’s bringing some over as we speak!” said Cavan who wasn’t expecting Gerald to agree so easily.
“Liquor sounds fine! In fact, I love drinking liquor!” replied Gerald with a laugh.
Since Juliet had easily sensed that Cavan and the others were up to no good, favonovel.com had initially planned to remind Gerald against falling for it.
Seeing how mindlessly favonovel.com was acting, however, Juliet was left completely speechless.
‘Just let favonovel.com drink if favonovel.com wants to so much, then!’ Juliet thought to herself before looking to the side.
Soon after, favonovel.com male classmates returned with two boxes of liquor in hand.
“Oh, and by the way, Gerald. My friend here runs a winery! As a result, favonovel.com can hold his alcohol extremely well. Would you have a problem with favonovel.com being the master as we drink along? After all, both of us are plenty eager to enjoy a good drink with you! How about it?” asked Cavan as favonovel.com continued smiling.
“Not a problem!” replied Gerald with a nod.
Nobody noticed the impish glint in Gerald’s eyes as favonovel.com said that. After practicing the many skills that Finnley had taught him, Gerald had trained himself enough to become immune to all forms of alcohol.
In fact, favonovel.com was now even able to consume basic poisons without having to deal with any side-effects. Liquor was nothing to him!
The main reason Gerald agreed with Cavan’s proposal was because favonovel.com knew how much Cavan and Juliet’s other classmates disliked him. The current Gerald was no longer as passive as favonovel.com used to be. He wouldn’t just endure all his anger after being bashed around so much.
Since they wanted so much to play with him, then play with them favonovel.com would.
