Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1128
Gerald was smiling as he said that while looking at Yume.
“It… It’s you!” shouted Yume.
While her face had initially been pale from panic, the moment she saw Gerald, it instantly turned red as a tomato.
Though she was clearly blushing, Gerald could simultaneously sense a deep hatred as well as a hint of killing intent
in her eyes.
“It is indeed… Regardless, it seems that we both came here today with the same purpose in mind. Are you planning
to head to the king of the ocean’s palace as well?” asked Gerald who had been surprised to hear her muttering
about it earlier.
“I… I don’t know! Stop talking to me!” replied Yume before standing up and immediately turning to face the other
way as she recalled Master Ghost’s earlier words about the fate of her marriage…
“Judging from the results of the marriage stone, it appears that you’ve already met the person you’ll end up falling
in love with, Miss Gunter! From what I can see, it seems that both of you only separated quite recently as well!” said
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtGhost when Yume had still been in the church earlier.
“The person I’ll end up falling for…? Who could that be? Actually… It… couldn’t be him, right? The person they refer
to as Mr. Crawford…?”
Shaking his head, Ghost then replied, “Quite unfortunately so…”
“Unfortunately? Now why would you say that?”
“While it states here that you’ll definitely end up falling for him, he won’t love you in return! It’s just a sad ending
since both of you will never be together!” explained Ghost before sighing.
“…You! You old man! Quite spouting nonsense! I’d never fall for someone who wouldn’t love me back! I refuse to
believe you!” retorted Yume angrily.
“It’s simply the truth! It’s not up to you to decide!”
“The truth? Hahaha! Even if that’s the case, I won’t allow it to happen! I’ll just kill him when I see him again to avoid
any future complications then! Once I’m done with that, I’ll return to burn down your church!”
Following that, she had descended the mountain in a huff, feeling greatly angered and frustrated as she made her
way for the Minshall family’s ancestral mines.
Of course it had to be Gerald. While she had to admit that he was quite handsome and he was also the one who
had saved her life, he didn’t have any other suitable qualifications to make her fall for him! What absolute
nonsense!
While she had been sure that she’d never ever meet him again back then, she now realized how wrong she had
been. In fact, not only was he standing behind her right now, but he had also just saved her life for the second time!
“…Regardless, you should really move around less since you’re still injured. You know, while the stone is useful to
me, I don’t mind sharing part of it with you!” replied Gerald with a smile as he slowly approached the girl to help
support her.
Once he was close enough, however, she simply pushed him away fiercely before shouting, “Don’t touch me!”
“What a temper! I’ll have you know that the water repellent stone now belongs to the Crawford family! Aren’t you
ashamed at all for attempting to steal something before its owner?!” replied Gerald in resignation.
With that, he went over to pick the stone up. Once he had it, he immediately turned around to leave.
“…W-wait!”
“What is it?”
“You… You said you would share part of the water repellent stone with me, right…?” asked Yume in a much softer
tone now.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhile she truly felt like killing Gerald now, she knew she was incapable of doing so. But if she didn’t do that now,
would she truly end up falling for him…?
“Since you asked so nicely, sure.”
While the water repellent stone was only the size of a palm, even if it were to be split into a thousand pieces, each
piece would still retain its initial functionality without any degradation in its performance. With that in mind, Gerald
simply broke off three pieces of the stone and handed them to Yume.
“Since both of us will be heading to the king of the ocean’s palace sooner or later anyway, why don’t we head there
together?” suggested Gerald.
Quite frankly, he found her to be quite the suspicious character. After all, while he had only managed to find out
about the king of the ocean’s palace after slow and careful investigation, based on what Yume had earlier said, the
girl was apparently heading there to complete a task that her grandmother had entrusted her with.
For her grandmother to have business to attend to within the king of the ocean’s palace… Who could she be? Could
Yume’s grandmother have secrets of her own as well? Gerald truly wanted to get to the bottom of this.
“There’s no need to consider that! I’m not traveling with you!” replied Yume as she clutched onto her abdomen
before slowly staggering out.
It was at that moment when Gerald noticed something was off. Sniffing the air, he couldn’t help but raise a brow as
he shouted, “This isn’t good! Return here, quickly!”<
