Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2097
Takuya had reason to feel ashamed. After all, ever since Gerald showed up, he had constantly been protecting Fujiko. Despite receiving so much of Gerald’s help to the point where he even rescued his daughter from getting raped, not only had Takuya failed to repay Gerald’s kindness, but he kept on troubling the youth…

Even so, Takuya didn’t really know anyone else who was reliable enough to protect his daughter during the special forces competition…

Regardless, before Takuya could say anything else, Gerald simply waved his hand before replying, “Don’t worry about it. Even if you hadn’t asked me to, I would’ve done it anyway. “

Gerald, for one, knew that the closer he got to the Futabas, the higher his chances of learning about Yearning Island…

Whatever the case was, upon hearing that, Fujiko instantly found herself blushing.

With how casually Gerald had accepted his request and how hard his daughter was blushing, Takuya couldn’t help but say, “I do wonder whether there truly is something between you two…”

Hearing that, Gerald immediately replied, “Please don’t overthink it, patriarch…”

“Honestly, I don’t really mind. As Fujiko’s father, I’m grateful enough as long as you keep her safe…” replied Takuya as he shook his head with a smile, knowing that it was a good choice to entrust Fujiko to Gerald…

Upon hearing that, Gerald didn’t attempt to further explain himself. If Takuya continued misunderstanding him, so be it. He would simply clarify the misunderstanding after learning about the secrets of Yearning Island.

Either way, after dinner, Gerald and Fujiko left the dining room together with the intent of talking about the special forces competition… It definitely beat being alone.

However, as they continued walking around the manor, Gerald couldn’t help but feel slightly awkward. After all, though there really wasn’t anything between them, Gerald couldn’t deny that their relationship had gone far beyond the point of just being regular friends. With that in mind, whenever he was alone with her, he couldn’t help but feel guilty toward Mila.
