Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 803

“This is Lyra, Gerald! Though we’ve never mentioned her to you before, she’s the one who’s been helping you

handle your financial issues all these years. We’ve raised her since she was young!” said Yulia who didn’t seem to

have heard what Lyra had said earlier.

Though her mother wasn’t saying it directly, the underlying message she was implying was clear as day to Gerald.

After all, not only had Gerald already heard others referring to Lyra as the young lady, it was also obvious based on

the current expressions on his parents’ faces.

“Mom, we’ve already met earlier!” said Lyra a little louder this time as she looked at Gerald with a faint smile.

“Oh, you have? Well all the better then! Haha! Alright, no more beating around the bush! Lyra is your fiancée,

Gerald!” said Dylan who was looking very happy.

In response, however, Yulia coughed before tugging gently on Dylan’s sleeve. After all, they were aware that their

son had a girlfriend. Not only that, she was now missing! It simply felt too early to be talking about engagements.

Gerald himself was astonished beyond words. He hadn’t expected the gentle and elegant Lyra to be his fiancée. No

wonder the others were addressing her as the young lady!

This turn of events was somewhat similar to a television series he had watched in the past. Just like the girl in the

show, Lyra had been adopted by the family just to end up becoming his parents’ future daughter-in-law.

The entire situation was simply bizarre to him. It seemed that his family had put in a lot of effort just to raise and

educate Lyra too.

“Do take a seat, Gerald!” said Lyra at that moment, still blushing as she took out more tissues to help Gerald wipe

the tea stains off his body.

“You don’t have to trouble yourself, Lyra, I’ll do it myself…” said Gerald as he took the tissues from her hand. He

was honestly still weirded out by the entire turn of events.

After all, he didn’t have any feelings for her. What more, she was at least four years older than him! While it was

true that her beauty was near unparalleled, Gerald simply couldn’t accept something like this that easily, and the

feeling persisted throughout the family assembly.

As the assembly went on, Gerald’s head was filled with thoughts. About how Lyra had been staying here for a long

time now, and also about the fact that it was his mother who had arranged for her to stay here in the first place.

Just a few days ago, his sister had told him what had happened to Mila in Hong Kong. She had even told him that it

was going to be difficult for them to be together in the end.

Not understanding what she meant, he had tried contacting his parents back then to no avail. Now, however, he

understood everything. As it turned out, his parents had already found him a wife years ago!

As Gerald headed to his room, he was surprised to see Lyra following behind him. His shock didn’t stop there,

however. Upon entering, she followed him as well and she began making the bed!

“I’ll… be sleeping in another room tonight, Lyra… Since you’re probably already used to sleeping in this room, you

can continue sleeping here! I’m sure you’re tired after today’s family assembly, so make sure to get a good rest!”

Gerald was sure that if he continued facing Lyra, things were only going to become more awkward.

“It’s alright, Gerald… I understand how difficult it must be for you to just accept our marriage out of the blue. I’m

well aware of what you’re currently facing as well. I’ll help you look for her!” said Lyra.

Gerald hadn’t expected her to say something like that at all. However, he simply nodded before replying, “Thank

you, Lyra!”

With that said, he remained in the room for a little while longer before finally leaving.

Mila’s recent disappearance had caused Gerald to be filled with deep remorse. There was no way in hell that he

was going to be in the mood to face another woman. He simply couldn’t rest easy until Mila was found.

And what about Lyra herself? While it was true that the Crawfords had raised her, she should have the right to

choose who she truly wants to marry! Why should she have to marry a man much younger than her? They didn’t

even have any feelings for each other!

That night, Gerald found a random guest room to sleep in.

When he woke up early the next morning, he saw three differently colored suits hanging on the head of the bed,

and a pair of leather shoes on the side.

It was the first day after their family reunion and Gerald knew he didn’t need to keep a low profile anymore.
