Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1199

Gerald truly hadn’t expected such a major interlude to take place just from him heading over to Lugaw City.

Regardless, Gerald wasn’t really that interested in Zack’s relationship with the Snyders. After all, as long as it was

related to business affairs, Gerald had no doubts about leaving Zack in charge.

Once the party was over, Gerald headed out together with Cundrie and a few others.

As they were walking on, Gerald looked at Cundrie before saying, “I truly apologize for my imprudence back then,

Miss Smith, and I hope you aren’t still angry about that incident… You see, at the time, I had mistaken you as Mila,

my girlfriend, which was what caused me to behave the way I did… I had wanted to explain this for a while now, but

I never got a proper chance to do so!”

After Cundrie had stepped forward to bear the responsibility of her actions earlier—even though she knew how

dangerous that would be for her—Gerald could already tell that she was a very nice person.

“How could she remain angry? I’ll have you know, Mr. Crawford, that as long as you wish for it, I’ll not only allow

you to hug her, but I’m even willing to give her to you-”

Though Mrs. Smith had said so excitedly, she was cut short when Cundrie—who could tell what her mother’s

intentions were—shot a bitter glare at her. Realizing that she had gone a bit too, Mrs. Smith immediately stopped

talking.

Seeing that, Riley immediately began dragging her mother away as she said, “Mr. Crawford wishes to talk to sister,

mom! Don’t disturb them!”

Once they were out of sight, Cundrie then smiled faintly before replying, “…It’s fine. To be quite honest, while I was

angry at the time, I simultaneously felt the urge to thank you after you made me realize something!”

Cundrie could’ve never imagined that the imprudent man she had imagined Gerald to be this entire time was

actually such a refined man who was quite stubborn when it came to love.

“…Hmm? Was it something I said?” asked Gerald as he returned the smile.

“Well, you see, I had previously thought that true love no longer existed on this planet… After all, the world today is

fuelled mostly by sexual desires… Regardless, for the longest time, I simply considered all love to be fake and

hypocritical… It got to the point where I assumed that whenever a man fell in love with a woman, he was only doing

so to gain access to her body! Due to that mentality, I had been disappointed with the concept of love for as long as

I’ve lived!”

“…However, the moment you embraced me, I could feel how tightly you were hugging onto me… I didn’t even

know who you were yet at the time, but I could sense how much you loved the woman you mistook me for… It was

almost as though you were terrified of the thought that she’d leave you again if you didn’t hug her tight enough… It

was also at that moment when I realized that true love still existed in the world… I have to admit that I’m quite

envious of that woman… She’s called Mila, right?” asked Cundrie as she turned to look at Gerald.

After watching Gerald nod slightly, Cundrie then added, “Could I request something from you, Mr. Crawford…?”

“Go on. I’ll try to fulfill your request as long as I’m able to!”

“…If you don’t mind, I’d like to hear the story about you and Mila…”

After a brief pause, Gerald then agreed and began telling Cundrie about his tale with her. It wasn’t long before

Gerald summarized most of his relationship with Mila to her.

Once he was done, Cundrie found herself nodding in satisfaction before saying with a smile, “…I see. As it turns out,

true love doesn’t really ask for much! Speaking of which, you said you needed a drop of my blood, correct? While

I’m not quite sure how my blood will be useful to you, I don’t mind donating some since you sound like you really

need it!”

With that, Cundrie then bit into her index finger, causing a small amount of blood to start puddling there.

Once Gerald got what he needed, he looked at Cundrie gratefully as he said, “If there’s anything you need help with

in the future, know that you can always come to me. Thank you very much, Miss Smith!”

Getting slightly teary-eyed, Cundrie then replied, “We shouldn’t be thanking each other anymore, you know…? After

all, we’re friends now, so you better not thank me again in the future…! Jokes aside, I sincerely hope that you’ll be

able to reunite with Mila again soon, Mr. Crawford… Do invite me over to your wedding when that time comes…!”
