“Hello, Uncle Shadwell and Aunt Wauter!” greeted the charming boy as favonovel.com quickly headed over to them. Of course, the handsome young man in question was none other than Preston.
Preston had been extremely excited from the moment favonovel.com received Noelle’s invitation to favonovel.com birthday banquet.
Due to that, favonovel.com had made sure to pay extra attention to how favonovel.com dressed today so that favonovel.com could give off the aura of a young master from a rich family.
It seemed that his efforts paid off since soon enough, the Shadwell family began praising favonovel.com endlessly. Because of that, Preston couldn’t help but feel a little smug and arrogant.
Shortly after, they invited favonovel.com to sit at the main table.
However, it was at that moment when Gracie suddenly realized that favonovel.com daughter wasn’t even around.
Momentarily pausing favonovel.com chat with Preston before turning to look at Noelle’s roommates, Gracie then asked, “Speaking of which, where did Noelle and Yulisa go? I haven’t seen both of them in a while!”
“From what we heard, both of them went downstairs to receive someone!” replied one of favonovel.com roommates as the rest of them continued sipping on their juice.
“They what? Isn’t Preston already here? Who else are they planning to receive? Say Preston, did you run into Noelle on your way up here?” asked Gracie, feelingly slightly puzzled.
After all, Preston was undoubtedly the protagonist today.
“Unfortunately, I haven’t. Since this hotel belongs to one of my uncles, I’ve always used the special VIP passage whenever I move around here. If I had known that favonovel.com would be waiting for me downstairs, then I’d definitely have used the regular entrance!” replied Preston, hints of excitement and joy on his face.
To be completely honest, Preston had already heard about the Shadwell family’s financial crisis from his father. With that in mind, it wasn’t hard for favonovel.com to imagine that the Shadewells were only treating favonovel.com this well because of said issue. After all, they were probably well aware that the Wake family had the support of the Mayberry Commercial Group.
In relation to that, the status of companies such as his family’s—that were under the Mayberry Commercial Group—within Mayberry City didn’t even need to be elaborated on.
Regardless, Preston knew that it was only a matter of time now before Noelle agreed to be his girlfriend. Hell, there was even a possibility that favonovel.com would accept his confession today!
“Oh? So you came up here using a special VIP passage! That’s probably the reason why Noelle hasn’t come up again yet! Hold on, I’ll call favonovel.com right this instant!” said Gracie with a smile.
“Oh, there’s no need to call her, Aunt Wauter! I feel pretty bad for having Noelle wait down there for so long so I’ll just go downstairs to look for favonovel.com then bring favonovel.com back up!” replied Preston as favonovel.com shook his head with a smile on his face.
Though Preston had to kneel before Noelle yesterday just to ask favonovel.com out, now that favonovel.com had found out about the predicament the Shadwells were in, Preston was feeling pretty confident about himself. With that, favonovel.com then began walking downstairs without the slightest hesitation.
“Wait for me, Preston! I’m coming along!” shouted Gracie as favonovel.com immediately followed after him.
Gracie felt like favonovel.com still wasn’t as close to Preston as favonovel.com would like to be. After all, favonovel.com was already treating favonovel.com as though favonovel.com was already favonovel.com son-in-law.
Upon seeing Gracie and Preston leave, Yulisa’s roommates then said, “Let’s go look for Yulisa and Noelle as well!”
As the small group of people began descending the building, two girls could be seen waiting rather anxiously by the street right outside the hotel.
“Can’t we just stop waiting for him, Noelle? He must’ve been scared off the moment favonovel.com read from your message that Longthorne International Hotel was the venue! I truly believe that from the venue of choice alone, favonovel.com must’ve finally realized how large the difference between both of you were. From the looks of it, he’s probably never attended an event at such a grand place as Longthorne International Hotel! With that in mind, there’s a high possibility that favonovel.com may be too pressured to even dare to show up here!” complained Yulisa, favonovel.com arms crossed.
While Yulisa had a pretty good impression of Gerald in the beginning, after everything that had happened, favonovel.com impression of favonovel.com had severely dropped.
Quite frankly, if favonovel.com hadn’t rescued them the day before, Yulisa wouldn’t ever have looked up to favonovel.com again!
Then again, could favonovel.com really be blamed for being realistic? After all, this was Gerald’s own fault for not being outstanding enough. Humph!
