Even though the speaker did not intend for anything, mindless listeners could take their words seriously.
Nathaniel
frowned as soon as he heard that Gerald had paid for Mila’s milk tea.
He could tell
that both of them obviously knew each other. Moreover, Gerald had paid for
Mila’s milk tea? Was there something more than this between them?
As he thought
about it, Nathaniel immediately sent a text message to Victor.
Then,
Nathaniel looked at Gerald who was about to continue chatting with Mila before
he said, “Gerald, are you here to practice how to drive, or did you come here
to chat with girls? It must have already been hard enough for you to save
enough money to pay for your driving lessons. Aren’t you going to pay more
attention to the driving lessons instead?”
Several girls
who were standing at the side also looked at Gerald with contempt
in their
hearts. They had initially thought that this person was quite honest, but i
t
seemed as
though he had completely lost his train of thoughts as soon as he saw
a beautiful
girl.
Mila could tell clearly that Nathaniel was attacking Gerald,
so she quickly defended him. “Nathaniel, what are you trying to say? Why are
you attacking Gerald? You have failed Subject Two twice but you are still
attacking others in vain. If you have that much time, you should focus on
studying by yourself instead.”
“I…”
Nathaniel’s face turned black immediately.
Vroom!
At this time,
the sound of a car roaring suddenly sounded near the playground.
Everyone
turned to look in that direction in an instant.
After that, a
few of the girls pointed outside as they shouted, “Wow! That Audi A6 is so
beautiful!”
“Oh my! Does
that car belong to the Brother Victor that he was talking about earlier? I
heard that he’s the vice president of the student union for the Department of
Language and Literature!”
“So cool!”
The group of
girls could not help but look at the direction of the car enthusiastically.
Meanwhile, the
car finally stopped in front of Mila, and the tall Victor stepped out of the
car immediately, Whitney following suit.
As soon as
Victor got out of the car, his eyes naturally fell on Mila and Gerald.
He could not
believe it when he received the text message from Nathaniel earlier. However,
he realized that Mila was indeed standing next to Gerald at this time.
“Mila, do you
know Gerald personally?” Victor asked curiously.
He was afraid that Mila might have fallen for Gerald’s petty
tricks and lies.
“We met and
got to know each other today. What’s the matter?” Mila was very displeased with
Victor’s questioning tone.
“Nothing’s
wrong. Did Gerald tell you anything suspicious? Did he tell you that he has
some friends who are driving some limited edition Ferraris? I’m telling you,
that’s all fake! We found out that he is just lying about those so-called
friends that he has!”
Victor had
already looked into the matter. He believed that it was highly likely that
Gerald had spent seven thousand dollars to experience what it felt like to ride
in a Ferrari because he wanted to use this as an opportunity to get close to
girls.
Unexpectedly,
Gerald also seemed to be interested in Mila.
Mila could not
help but frown as soon as she heard Victor’s words.
At this time,
Gerald was simply staring at Whitney who was standing beside Victor.
Needless to
say, she had taken everything he had said to coax her the last time to heart,
even conducting her private investigation into this matter.
What was wrong
with this woman? Why was she so interested in his private affairs?
“Well, Gerald,
let me give you a warning now. You’d better stay away from Mila from now
onward. Mila is a girl that you will never be able to have or reach in your
entire lifetime! Besides, you are a very hypocritical person, and I absolutely
despise you!”
Whitney could
still remember everything that Gerald had told her when she saw him getting out
of the Ferrari the other day. He had told her that his friend had driven him
back in his Ferrari.
Whitney was still very furious because she could not believe
that this guy was so full of shit!
Moreover,
Victor also said that Gerald had actually bought milk tea for Mila.
Was this toad
trying to get a taste of a swan’s meat?
Whitney’s
words made Nathaniel and everyone else at the North Playground look at Gerald
as they sneered.
“Whitney, why
are you saying all this about Gerald…”
Mila had
already known and observed that Whitney was very cold and impolite toward
Gerald ever since the last time.
“Mila, I’m
just afraid that you will be deceived by this jerk! Gerald is not as simple or
honest as you think he is!” Whitney replied as she glared at Gerald with a
stern expression on her face. “By the way, Mila, will you be free tonight?
Brother Victor is the host and he would like to bring you to Homeland Kitchen
for dinner tonight! I can come along if you go!” Whitney continued in a sour
tone.
“I will have
to practice driving in the afternoon so I might not have time to go for dinner
tonight…” Mila did not really want to go for the dinner with them.
“Oh, can’t you
just practice driving some other time? Do you honestly have to practice driving
today? Mila, don’t tell me that the reason you are turning down Victor’s
invitation to dinner is because you want to practice driving with Gerald? Don’t
you think that that’s a waste of your time?”
Whitney’s
words placed Mila in a very difficult spot. It would be wrong for her to go,
and it would be wrong for her not to go.
If she agreed
to go for dinner, she would indirectly be saying that she did not want to spend
time with Gerald. That would only embarrass Gerald and put him down.
Truthfully,
Gerald was a very good person, or at the very least, Mila felt so.
However, if she declined the dinner, Whitney would never let
her off.
Finally, Mila
replied, “Okay, I will come for the dinner, but I want to bring someone with
me. After all, he helped me out today. I will be the host tonight and all of us
can go for dinner together, okay?”
