”Because I do not want to be in this relationship anymore!” blurted Gerald without holding back.
“What did you say?!”
“Erm, Alice, there’s been a big misunderstanding. I… I didn’t go there to pursue you. Ahem, ahem. There, I said it out already. I went there that day that I wanted to ask Mila, one of your coursemates in your department, out for dinner. However, as soon as I entered, the girls from your department started surrounding me. They thought I was there to confess my love to you! After that…”
Gerald had blurted out everything he’d been holding back in his heart.
Alice started breathing hard. Every word that Gerald said felt like a sharp thorn violently piercing its way into her heart. She felt her tender body tremble.
“Then, I happened to show up, and I was mistaken that you were there to confess to me? Moreover, I even promised to become your girlfriend, right?” Alice answered with a deep frown across her brow.
“Yes! I couldn’t explain the situation there and then, considering the situation. The consequences would have been too embarrassing for you to bear!”
“Hah! I understand everything now. It turns out that I, Alice, am nothing but a fool! I’ve been played like a fiddle!” Alice replied coldly.
She had been desperately trying to get closer to him, but she got slapped before she could even do so at the end of the day.
Alice felt like a joke.
When she fell in love and got into her first relationship, she thought Quinton was the one who helped her, the reason why she got together with him in the first place. In the end, she ended up embarrassing herself.
Then, when she got into her second relationship, it was with Gerald. He was the one who always helped her out. However, he turned her down and made her feel extremely embarrassed.
Enough! She really had enough!
Wasn’t finding a wealthy and well-behaved boyfriend all she wanted?
It was all but a simple matter, so why was it so difficult for her to achieve?
Slap!!!
Alice slapped Gerald hard in frustration and anger.
“You’re an asshole, Gerald! All you have is just a tiny bit of money! You think I am one to be mocked just like that? Just you wait! One day, I, Alice, will definitely find myself a filthy rich boyfriend. I will make you regret your actions today!”
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. After slapping Gerald, Alice glared at him with hatred and resentment in her eyes before turning around and leaving.
Gerald subconsciously touched his face.
It was then that the corners of his mouth turned upwards as he smiled bitterly.
“Well, I shouldn’t be saying this, but how could anybody possibly be richer than me in the entire world? Ahem!”
Nonetheless, the matter was resolved, and he had made everything as clear as day.
