”I…I will not stay here!”
When Xavia
looked at Yuri, she knew exactly what he meant.
This was too
embarrassing!
Xavia
continued shaking her head.
“My dear,
please remember how kind I’ve always been to you. Just wait for me here. I’ll
head home and look for
some money,
then drive back here to pick you up. After that, we can just stay outside for
the night, okay?”
Yuri glanced
at Gerald as he said that sentence. This was also a reminder to Xavia that the
reason why they
came for the
dinner tonight was because they wanted to embarrass Yuri and she should not
forget that!
Okay!
Xavia calmed
down when she thought of Gerald.
Of course,
Xavia
had to prove
that her new boyfriend was definitely a hundred
times better
than Gerald! A
hundred times
better!
She must not lose face in front of Gerald.
“Okay, fine,
I’ll stay here and wait for you. Anyway, I know that you’re rich and you’ll
definitely come back
for me.”
Xavia
intentionally spoke very loudly at this time.
When Yuri saw
that Xavia had already agreed to stay, he hurriedly withdrew from the
restaurant.
Xavia had
originally wanted some of her friends to stay behind to accompany her. However,
Cassandra said that
it would not
be good for so many people to be out of the dormitory so late at night.
Therefore, she took the
rest of the
girls back to the campus with her.
Gerald was the
last one to leave the restaurant. In fact, Gerald felt a little distressed when
he saw Xavia in
this state.
Seriously!
How could Yuri
actually leave Xavia alone at the restaurant all by herself in the middle of
the night? Gerald
could not help
but feel his heart aching.
After all, he
had already been in a relationship with Xavia for more than three years and he
would be lying if
he said that
he did not have any feelings for her at all.
Even though Gerald was very disappointed with Xavia, he could
not bring himself to hate her at all. He kept
persuading
himself that Xavia was not really a bad person.
Gerald did not
feel happy at all to see Xavia in this kind of situation. If Xavia would just
beg him and ask
for his help,
Gerald would definitely agree without any hesitation at all.
However, at
this time, Xavia simply glared at Gerald with a cold expression on her face.
She was confident that
Yuri would
definitely come back for her in a short while.
Ugh!
Gerald could
not help but sigh to himself. If that was the case, then he did not need to
worry anymore.
Perhaps the
Xavia that he felt distressed for was the sensible and well-behaved Xavia in
the past, and not the
vain and
materialistic Xavia that she had become today.
Hence, Gerald
left the restaurant without turning back.
Ge
rald got back
to the boy’s dormitory a short while later. Gerald had humiliated
Yuri in front
of all of his
classmates and
it was supposed to be a very happy day for him.
However,
Gerald was not happy at all.
At this time,
Harper came over before he patted
Gerald gently
on his shoulder.
“Gerald, are
you okay with
spending so much money for dinner today? We tried to stop you
a few times but in the end, you ended up spending
so much money
anyway. You should have kept the thirty thousand dollars instead of spending it
all at one go so
you can enjoy
and spend the rest of your days in university more comfortably.”
Gerald smiled
before he said, “Huh? Who told you that I only won thirty thousand dollars from
the lottery?”
“What?”
Gerald’s roommates
quickly gathered around him because they were all in shock at this time.
“Well, I have
a lot more money than this and even though the meal tonight cost quite a huge
sum of money. In
actual fact, I
did not spend that much at all.”
Gerald quickly
explained the situation to his roommates.
“How much did
you win from the lottery then, Gerald?”
“Yes, how much
did you win from the lottery, Gerald? Don’t keep us in suspense any longer!”
At this time,
Harper and the rest of his roommates were all lying on Gerald’s bed as though
they would not let
him go to
sleep if he did not tell them the truth.
Gerald was
helpless and he could only show them his fingers.
“Eight? Eighty thousand dollars?” Harper asked with a shocked
expression on his face.
“Let’s go to
sleep already! It’s Saturday tomorrow and I have to go to the library early in
the morning to
study. I have
to go to bed early in order to wake up early tomorrow!” Gerald replied as he covered
his face
with his quilt
as he got ready to sleep.
“Tell me! Is
it eighty thousand dollars or eight hundred thousand dollars?”
Harper was
very anxious. However, after harassing Gerald for a short while, Harper decided
to give up.
In fact, it
did not matter to him whether Gerald won eighty thousand dollars or eight
hundred thousand dollars.
All that
mattered to him was that Gerald finally had some money.
Harper felt
very content as he thought about it.
As Gerald was
hiding beneath his quilt, he could not sleep even though he really wanted to
sleep.
This was
because he was still worried for Xavia.
He did not
know if she had already returned from the restaurant.
In fact,
Gerald had actually conducted an investigation on Yuri before and he found out
that his family was not
exactly very
rich. Yuri’s father owned a factory and he gave Yuri about one thousand dollars
for his allowance
every month. Moreover, Gerald knew that Yuri did not have a
lot of savings.
He would
definitely not have enough money to pay the bill tonight.
Moreover,
based on his personality, Gerald knew that Yuri would not go back and pick
Xavia up from the
restaurant.
Gerald thought
that Xavia would definitely call him to ask for his help. However, Gerald
waited until midnight
and Xavia did
not call him at all.
Why was he
worried about her in the first place? The person that she loved was Yuri, and
not him…
Gerald felt
very helpless at this time.
The next day
was a Saturday. While Gerald’s roommates were still lazing in bed, he received
a phone call early
in the morning
but it was not a phone call from Xavia. Instead, it was a phone call from Zack!
