Invisible Rich (The Invisible Rich Man 2)

Chapter 803

“This is Lyra, Gerald! Although we have never mentioned it to you before, it is He who has helped you deal with your financial problems all along. We have raised her since she was young!” said Yulia who didn't seem to hear what Lyra said just now.

Although her mother did not say it directly, the underlying message she was referring to was very clear to Gerald. After all, not only had Gerald heard others mention Lyra as a young miss, it was also clear based on the facial expressions of his parents at this time.

"Mom, we've met before!" lyra said a little louder this time while looking at Gerald with a faint smile.

“Oh, you have any? Well, all the better then! Ha ha! All right, no more rambling! Lyra is your fiancee, Gerald!” said Dylan who looked very happy.

However, in response, Yulia coughed before pulling on Dylan's sleeves gently. After all, they were aware that their son had a girlfriend. Not only that, he is now gone! It's too early to talk about engagement.

Gerald himself was stunned beyond words. She did not expect the gentle and graceful Lyra to be her fiance. No wonder the others called her as young miss!

This turn of events was somewhat similar to the television series he had watched in the past. Just like the girl on the show, Lyra has been adopted by the family only to become the future daughter-in-law of her parents.

The whole situation was really strange for him. It seems that her family has gone to great lengths just to raise and educate Lyra as well.

"Please sit down, Gerald!" lyra said at the time, still blushing as she pulled out more tissue to help Gerald wipe the tea stains off her body.

“You don't have to bother yourself, Lyra, I'll do it myself..” said Gerald while taking a tissue from his hand. He honestly still felt strange with the entire turn of events.

After all, she had no feelings for him whatsoever. Moreover, he was at least four years older than her! While it's true that her beauty is almost unparalleled, Gerald can't accept anything like this easily, and that feeling persists throughout family gatherings.

As the meeting progressed, Gerald's head was filled with thoughts. About how Lyra has lived here for a long time now, and also about the fact that it was her mother who had arranged for her to stay here from the beginning.

Just a few days ago, her sister told her what happened to Mila in Hong Kong. He even told her that in the end it would be difficult for them to be together.

As Gerald headed to his room, he was surprised to see Lyra following behind him. However, his surprise did not stop there. After entering, he followed her as well and he started to tidy up the bed!

“I will... sleep in another room tonight, Lyra... Since you may have gotten used to sleeping in this room, you can continue to sleep here! I'm sure you're tired after the family meeting today, so be sure to rest well! ”

Gerald was sure if he continued to face Lyra, things would only get more awkward.

“It's okay, Gerald. I understand how hard it is for you to take our marriage for granted. I'm well aware of what you're facing right now. I'll help you find him!” said Lyra.

Gerald didn't expect him to say anything like that. However, he simply nodded before replying, “Thank you, Lyra!”

With that said, he remained in the room for a while longer before finally leaving.

Mila's recent disappearance has caused Gerald to be filled with deep regret. There was no way he would be in the mood to face another woman. He can't calm down until Mila is found.

And what about Lyra herself? While it was true that the Crawford family had raised her, she should have had the right to choose who she really wanted to marry! Why did she have to marry a man much younger than her? They don't even have feelings for each other!

That night, Gerald finds a random guest room to sleep in.

When she woke up early the next morning, she noticed three different colored suits hanging on the head of the bed, and a pair of leather shoes beside her.

It was the first day after their family reunion and Gerald knew he didn't need to be humble anymore.
