Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1078
By the time all three of them got out of the ancient well, it was already late at night and the moon was high in the
sky. Gerald then led the two girls back to the dilapidated building.
Upon arriving there, they saw that the crowd of people had regrouped again. Ever Professor Yale and the other
researchers were there. They had earlier returned to the building once they realized that there was no way they
would be able to catch up to Gerald.
Aside from the two deaths, the only other person seriously injured was Wynn, and he was also suffering from a high
fever. Though the others had made it out fine, all of them were equally feeling uneasy out of fear.
Now that Gerald was here, however, all of them could finally rest a bit easier after going through so much today.
As the others rested, Gerald himself remained awake. After lighting a bonfire, he kept guard over the others while
making sure to toss firewood into the warm flames from time to time.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMeredith and Giya, on the other hand, stayed awake as well. Both of them had their eyes peeled as they continued
staring at Gerald—who was currently sitting by the entrance—for quite some time.
Under the moonlight, his tall and muscular silhouette gave them a sense of peace and security.
Eventually, Meredith rolled to her side to look at Giya before whispering, “…You aren’t asleep either, Giya?”
“Not at all…” whispered Giya back.
“Say, ever since we woke up in that monster’s lair, I’ve noticed that you’ve been constantly staring at Xadrian… Do
you like him?” asked Meredith, slight jealousy reflected in her voice.
“…No… Of course not…” replied Giya.
After all, the person she liked was Gerald and Giya knew for a fact that she would never be able to forget him for
the rest of her life. While it was true that Xadrian and Gerald looked extremely similar, Xadrian wasn’t the person
she was truly in love with! At least that was what Giya kept reminding herself.
However, Giya couldn’t deny that she just couldn’t take her eyes off him. Both Xadrian and Gerald really looked too
similar!
“Look, I’m just staring at him a lot since he looks a lot like Gerald!” added Giya in a soft tone.
“Well they may look alike, but remember that he isn’t Gerald!” whispered Meredith in return.
Hearing that, Giya rolled slightly to her side before asking, “…Well, what about you then? You probably like Xadrian,
right? I can tell…”
Giya was well aware that deep down in her heart, she was feeling slightly jealous when she asked that question.
“I do. While I’ve encountered many, many handsome and great guys before, I’ve never met someone who could
impress me like Xadrian! I’ve already waited so many years for such a person to appear… Due to these feelings, I
believe that I’ve finally found the right person for me!” replied Meredith.
“…I see,” said Giya, feeling a cocktail of emotions brewing in her heart. She just couldn’t help but feel upset upon
hearing that.
“So… Since we’re both good sisters and all, I’d like to ask you something, Giya. Since Xadrian isn’t the person for
you, would it be alright for me to try pursuing him? After all, I’ve waited so long for my heart to be moved by
someone!” whispered Meredith as she gently squeezed Giya’s hands.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmGiya hadn’t the slightest clue how to even describe her feelings after hearing that.
While she had convinced herself that Gerald and Xadrian—despite looking so similar—weren’t the same person, she
couldn’t help but feel that Xadrian’s subtle behaviors were far too similar to Gerald’s as well.
This was especially apparent when she had just woke up in that monster’s lair earlier. Back then, she remembered
Gerald calling out her name.
Though she couldn’t really tell if it was all just an illusion, she was sure that she had heard Gerald’s voice! For more
solid evidence, when Xadrian had blushed earlier, he blushed the exact same way Gerald did back when they had
first gotten acquainted during their university days!
As if that wasn’t enough, the way Xadrian pursed his lips—back when they were still in that stone room—was also
very similar to how Gerald used to do!
Was Xadrian really Gerald? Was he deliberately hiding something from her?
He may have wanted to deceive her, but whenever she saw him looking at her, Giya could sense that those were
the eyes of someone who had finally reunited with an acquaintance after a long absence.
Girls were usually extremely observant, and Giya herself was no different. In addition to that, her feminine intuition
was also very strong.
Understanding that, the fact that she had been able to find so many similarities between Gerald and Xadrian made
her unsure of how to even answer Meredith’s question.
