Gerald Crawford, The Invisible Rich Man

Chapter 2079-2080

Chapter 2079.

"That's not what I'm worried about."

Gerald muttered while shaking his head.

Fujiko, of course, is an almost perfect girl from her personality to her looks. However, he already had Mila. After she is kidnapped by members of the Sun League, she has yet to find a clue about her whereabouts.

Whatever the case may be, while she will definitely help Fujiko if she is single, since she is already with Mila, she can't just play around with other women.

As Fujiko leaned closer to Gerald, - smelling a faint fragrant smell from him, - she was asked to ask, she said,

"...Is.. You already have someone..?

After a short pause, Gerald simply shook his head as he said,

"No.."

Until he saves Mila, he won't tell anyone about her. This was one of the most basic ways he could do to protect her.

"Act with me for a while, then settle down, and once Kai gets out of the picture, I'll find a way to thank him properly."

Fujiko replied while casually wrapping her arm around her arm.

While it's true that she actually did all this to get her father to cancel the marriage contract, Fujiko can't be denied that she used this opportunity to be a couple with Gerald, even if it's just for show.

As a Futaba, Fujiko has been treated like a precious jewel all her life. In other words, most of the people he had met before were the young leaders of the family.

While it was true that they were all excellent individuals, she had never met a man who could move her heart like Gerald. While it's true, that she doesn't know anything about Gerald's background.

Despite all the chaos going on around her, as long as Gerald was by her side, she could feel safe.

Either way, after quickly pulling on his arm, Gerald paused for a moment before replying.,

"All right, let's do it."

"Good to hear! Needless to say, do good cooperation with me so that my family does not see any flaws in you. Otherwise, even if my father agrees to end the marriage, the rest of my family will continue to insist that I marry Kai."

Fujiko was a little nervous.

Sighing in response, Gerald then cunningly replied,

"Don't worry...! "

0At the end of the day, protecting him is the only thing that matters. After all, if he failed to cross this hurdle, he would definitely not be able to learn more about Longing Island.

"I appreciate it! I will definitely return the favor!"

Exciting Fujiko as she kissed Gerald's cheek before running out of the room, her face flushed red.

Gerald himself remained frozen for a moment on the spot. When she finally regained her senses, she couldn't help but smile a little as she touched the area where Fujiko's lips landed.

However, it didn't take long for the guilt to seep in, and he quickly rubbed his face hard before lighting a cigarette to calm himself down.

Fast forward to the next morning, Gerald and Fujiko checked out of the hotel before driving back to Futaba Palace.

Upon arriving and getting out of the car, Fujiko quickly holds Gerald's hand, making sure to weave his fingers between his fingers - when he sees his father rushing to greet them.

Although she knew that they were only acting, Fujiko could not help but smile. After all, although this was all just an illusion, for now, Gerald was his...

Takuya himself could not help but stare at the two when he saw them holding hands very tightly. He remembers clearly telling Gerald to keep Fujiko safe while he was at the Kanagawa manor.

With that in mind, why would they hold hands like this after only three days?

"You two..."

"Let's talk about this inside, dad,"

Fujiko answered while cutting her father short before pulling Gerald into the house.

Gerald himself just followed obediently, smiling awkwardly at Takuya as the two walked past him...

Shortly afterwards, Takuya, who was sitting in the host's seat, found himself staring at Gerald and Fujiko who were still holding hands as they sat in the guest chair.

Roughly guessing what all these handrails meant, Takuya first said,

"So... When exactly did the two of you get into such a relationship?"

If he was honest, all of this happened so quickly that he felt a little overwhelmed.

After hearing that, Fujiko let go of Gerald's hand and stood up before declaring,

"Dad, I don't want to sacrifice my happiness for Kai. After all, you, of all people, should know that my life will be ruined if I continue to marry her!"

"But still, get where you're from..?"

Takuya muttered as he looked at his daughter.

"Dad, please. I just want to be with Gerald... Please give us your blessing!"

Fujiko replied as she sat down and continued to hold Gerald's hand.

Turning his gaze between the two of them, Takuya then muttered,

"Before that, again, when exactly did all this begin...?"

"Since the first time we met." Answer Fujiko.

Sighing in response, Takuya then slylyly said,

"..As a father, I certainly hope that you find a good person to be with. However, without the help of the Kanagawa family, we might not even survive until the end of the year! Also, I'm sure you know that the other family members won't approve of this either.."

"But...But I'm your daughter...! You cannot just sacrifice happiness..! I can't be with Kai.! You know, had Gerald not saved me in time, I would have been raped...!

Fujiko shouted as she became a little emotional.

"What did you say?"

Takuya asked as he jumped to his feet.

"I. I didn't say anything.."

Fujiko muttered as he quickly sat back down.

Clearly not buying it, Takuya then turned to look at Gerald before asking, Takuya said,

"What happened to the two in Kanagawa's manor, Gerald? Is that b*stard, Kai, trying to use my daughter?"

Nodding in response, Gerald then replied,

"Indeed. By the time he got there to save her, Kai had already tore off most of her clothes and even pinned them down.."

"That's... Basic b*stard..! I have never really taken seriously the rumors about him before, but to think that the young master of the Kanagawa family is actually as bad as they say.! What an evil man!"

Takuya roared as he slammed his fist against the table, his lips trembling.

While he could still accept matchmaking planning for his daughter for the sake of maintaining his family, there was no way he would be fine with marrying such an asshole young man!

"..Now that you know the whole story, please cancel the marriage contract with Kanagawa in order to be with Gerald.."

Fujiko said as she clenched her fists while looking at her father with a determined look.

"While I like to cancel it outright, it's easier said than done. After all, while I might be the head of the family, I can't just make a big decision without talking about things through Kanagawa. In addition, you should realize that the other Futaba will also oppose the idea."

Takuya replied with a sigh while lighting a cigarette.
