Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 562

“Oh? Are you busy or something? Oh! Don’t worry, it’ll be Chase’s treat today! Even if we have to settle our own

bills, I’ll back you up, alright?” said Lolita as she assumed Gerald’s worries.

Naturally, it wasn’t about monetary issues. It was just that Gerald still had to celebrate his own birthday today!

Even if Gerald turned her invitation down, it wouldn’t matter much to Lolita. However, since he now knew that Mr.

Weiss would be attending as well, he couldn’t help but feel like he would be letting his ex-teacher down if he didn’t

join the gathering.

“No, it’s not about the money… In all honesty, I was originally planning to invite you to celebrate my birthday with

me today! But since you’ve mentioned Mr. Weiss, how about this? I’ll just go along with you to have a brief chat with

him. After that, I’ll return and get back to my own celebration!” replied Gerald.

“…Oh? It’s your birthday today? Well this is embarrassing! Alright, I think your plan sounds good. We’ll go there,

have a chat with Mr. Weiss and the rest of our classmates, then we’ll leave together and celebrate your birthday!

What about Xeno? Have you already invited him?” asked Lolita.

“I have, but he’s told me that he can only come over at noon. His business is still new after all, and he hasn’t had

the time to hire more employees yet. He has to deal with so many things!”

“Alright! And yeah, he’s really impressive now! Though my dad used to look down on his family, he personally

brought some gifts over to them yesterday!” replied Lolita, slightly enviously.

Gerald simply nodded without adding anything to that.

By the time their plans were finalized, it was nearing eight o’clock.

Both of them then rushed to the designated restaurant in town. Since Gerald lived in the main village, the main

street in town was within walking distance.

Meanwhile, several of their former junior high classmates were already at the restaurant’s entrance.

They were all gathered together as they chatted among themselves. After all, wasn’t this the purpose of all class

reunions? Meetings like these would always be very cordial.

The contents of their conversations mostly regarded their current status quos as well as ample reminiscing of their

shared pasts.

“Look there! Lolita’s here!” said a few classmates as they pointed toward her and Gerald.

“…Huh? That’s Gerald right? Well d*mn! I didn’t think that he’d be here today!”

“Hahaha! I know right? I thought he had already disappeared off the face of the earth. Nobody would have

expected to see him here today!”

“You know, I heard some news that Gerald lived a miserable life in university. He was even struggling to pay for his

own tuition fees! Another friend of mine told me that when he was having a meal with his own friend in Mayberry

City, he saw Gerald washing the dishes in the kitchen! It was too embarrassing for him to even go up to Gerald and

say hello!”

“Heh, he’s always been poor after all. He doesn’t really have a choice but to take on any jobs he can find!”

When everyone saw Gerald, he immediately became the main topic of their conversations and they simply laughed.

Within the group, one of the girls clearly stood out among her other classmates due to her outstanding

temperament. She was just chatting with her friends when she heard Gerald’s name being mentioned.

She immediately felt goosebumps on her skin as she blushed and turned to look at Gerald who was still walking

over.

“Hehe… You used to be in a relationship with Gerald, right Sherry? Don’t even try to deny that both of you used to

date!” said one of the girls as she covered her mouth with a hand, trying not to laugh.

“Don’t go spouting nonsense! When were we ever in a relationship?” replied Sherry as her cheeks became as red

as tomatoes.

“Both of you were definitely in a relationship at one point. I can still remember you exchanging letters with him! You

used to be very close to Gerald!” added the same girl from before.

“That’s not true…!” replied Sherry in a softer tone.

“Sherry, don’t you remember why Xeno beat someone up…? Hehe… Anyway, let’s forget about that. Let’s just talk

about something else!”

Realizing that she had almost stepped on a landmine, the girl quickly tried to change the topic as she stuck her

tongue out rather awkwardly.

“By the way, are you still seeing the guy who tried to beat Gerald up back then?” asked another girl.

“We’ve stopped seeing each other a long time ago…” replied Sherry as she blushed.

After saying that, she turned to look at Gerald again. She hadn’t met him for the past six years.
