Aunt Bea started to mock him and ridicule him.
Mother Bea, on the other hand, stood by the side of the room, not daring to defend her own daughter.
He just had an ugly expression on his face.
He has told Bea many times not to come here with Gerald. However, it is clear that Bea defied her orders when Gerald stood there!
“Third aunt, sixth aunt, she's not my girlfriend. She's actually my cousin, Gerald!” answer Bea.
"What's? Ger...Gerald?!”
"That's it!"
Silence enveloped the room as soon as those words came out of his mouth.
Everyone's eyes were on Gerald.
Although they knew that Yulia had given birth to a pair of children, Jessica and Gerald, after she left, this was the first time they had seen one of them in two whole decades!
"How blessed and lucky is she to have such a handsome son!"
One of the women pouted a little.
“Sepupu, let me introduce them to you. It's a…"
Bea starts introducing her relatives to Gerald.
Gerald greeted them politely one by one.
However, other than his fourth uncle who responded with a smile and nod, almost all of them ignored him.
“Why are you all standing? Sit down!"
An old woman screamed as she entered the living room with the help of a maid.
“Bu, come and see! Your beloved Granddaughter, Bea, has brought you a gift just before your birthday! The daughter's son came to see you!”
Rose walked over to help the old woman while putting an evil grin on her face.
"Hmm?"
This is the first time Gerald has seen his grandmother since he was a child.
Naturally, he felt a little excited to see his beloved grandmother.
"Grandma!" Gerald called.
The old woman's hand trembled slightly when she heard him calling her grandmother. He did not say anything but he replied with a nod.
“Your name is Gerald, right? Where's your sister?”
The old woman took a deep breath before she sat down.
“My sister is overseas now. He has not returned.” replied Gerald.
“Hmph-deep. Why are you here? It's years. Do you even remember that you have a grandmother?"
The old woman asked with a frown.
Although she sounded very cold and indifferent, the reality was the same as what Gerald's mother had told her before. The old woman won't be too hard on Gerald.
When she saw how Gerald lowered his head speechlessly, she began to fear that being too outspoken would frighten the child.
So, he slightly eased up and said, "However, I guess you're still a filial child because you've at least made the decision to come and see me!"
Both Yuna and Rose were surprised to learn that the old woman was far from angry at Gerald.
Yura was surprised. The humiliation and shame he suffered yesterday was the result of Gerald's actions.
Because he holds a grudge against Gerald, he pulls his mother's arm under the table.
Rose immediately began to sneer. "Ha ha ha! Ma'am, you think too well of him, don't you? Did you not realize? They haven't seen you at all in the last twenty years, but why are they suddenly here now? To think that they even had the guts to appear before you one day before your birthday! How outrageous! I'll be frank here, they're here just to get a share of the Yaleman family legacy! Why else would they think of you at all? ”
After Rose's efforts to sow discord, it was clear that the old woman had begun to act cautiously around Gerald.
"Gerald, are you really here to get a share of the Yaleman family legacy?"
The old woman asked with an unhappy expression.
