Lyra asked the question as she gently helped Gerald wipe the thorny grass off his face.
“I... I, um.. Not sure which family I come from!” answer Gerald.
Hearing that, Lyra just laughed before saying, “I'll call some doctors later and tell them to treat your wounds.. Don't want you to get an infection now, right?”.
“No, it's okay.”
For some unknown reason, Lyra has only felt the urge to pamper and care for Gerald ever since she met him. It was a really strange feeling.
“Meeting will begin soon, young lady.It's best that you go there soon,” said someone who seems to be Lyra's servant as she walked over.
“Alright,” Lyra said as she nodded at Gerald before leaving with her servant.
"Young woman? So she is someone who has married into the Crawford family!” gerald murmured to himself as he finished cleaning his face.
In his mind, he thought about how blessed it was for a person who had married such a gentle and attractive wife.
At that moment, Gerald's phone started ringing.
"Brother brother? Where are you at? I can't find you anywhere!”
"Sorry sorry! I just picked up a tennis ball for someone else!” gerald replied with a bitter laugh.
“Damn, why are you still helping others do something like this? After all, the meeting was about to begin and father even asked me if you had arrived. We are in the main hall now! You should have told the servants to bring you here immediately when you arrived! ” said his sister while shaking her head.
"understand! I'm heading there now!” gerald said as he rose.
Her parents and sister were the main cast that day and she realized how busy they were. Therefore, he did not want to create unnecessary trouble for them if he could help.
As he walked towards the venue, he noticed that Niki and the other girls were not too far away. Shortly after, he caught up with them and just followed behind.
“Hei, Bethany. That fool is following us!” niki said as she turned around to look around.
“Did he get lost? Maybe this is her first time attending a family meeting!” bethany replied as she stopped walking and turned around.
In response, Gerald simply nodded.
"seen? I'm right! You can come with us if you want, but you can only ride the last car with my waiter! How?” betania's Advice.
Bethany is a prominent young woman accustomed to meeting handsome and highly capable heirs, rich, both domestically and abroad.
Because he knew that Gerald was the type of honest and well-behaved man who did not have much experience in life, he did not care much about his well-being.
"No problem!" gerald replied as he nodded, not thinking too much of it himself.
He then got into a rather stuffy car as there were some servants inside.
As soon as they arrived, Gerald walked into the Crawford family's main hall, which was a spacious open hall.
In such assemblies, the participants sit in groups even though where they must sit is not predetermined. Only the main members of the family had set seats on a high platform in the middle of the hall.
As Bethany and the others find a seat in the corner, Gerald himself casually takes a seat near them before pulling the phone out of his pocket.
Meanwhile, the middle-aged couple started walking towards the main dining table reserved for its master. A boisterous applause rang out as the couple walked to the table.
Of course, the couple was none other than Gerald's parents! Behind them, two women followed, one of them was Jessica.
When another woman saw Lyra, she immediately held her hand before saying, “Lyra! Come sit beside me!”
“Alright, mom!” lyra replied with a nod
“You have actually received the short end of the stick the entire time you were in the Crawford family..Not only do you have to learn everything yourself, you even have to deal with all of his financial problems! If we could, we would definitely let you meet each other early ... But I'm sure you are aware that we were unable to reveal his identity before this! Still, to think that he wasn't even here yet! ” said the woman in an apologetic tone.
“Please don't say that, Mom.. It has been a blessing for me to be able to grow up in the Crawford family since a young age.”
Hearing that, the woman smiled before nodding. She then turned to look at Jessica before saying, "Go find where your sister, Jessica is!"
