“Nah, hello! We meet again!" said Haven Lovewell—one of the charming women—while waving towards the young man.
“Ya, indeed ..” replied Gerald with a subtle smile as he closed the door behind him. Placing his luggage in a special area for tourists, Gerald then headed to an empty table that happened to be next to Haven's.
As Gerald sat down, Haven added, “Do you remember our little conversation on the train earlier? It was so fun that I even wanted to ask you your Line number at some point! Still, I never expected to see you again this soon.I guess our meeting must have been written in the stars!”.
“It's enough, Haven. She came here to eat so don't bother her anymore,” said Xareni—female sister Haven—while gently stepping on Haven's feet, reminding her to be polite.
“He's right, Haven. Why did you even ask for her phone number? ” add Quintin.
Hearing that, Gerald simply shook his head before smiling wryly.
As Haven had said, Gerald had previously bumped into three Lovewell siblings while they were still on the train. At that moment, Lovewell's siblings were sitting right across from Gerald.
Quintin, however, was dissatisfied with the seat on the side of his window because the old man—who seemed to be about eighty years old—sitting beside Gerald was a sight-destroying thing for him. The old man himself had been sleeping with his head leaning against the window for most of their journey, and Quintin could not bear to see his sleeping face any longer.
As a result, Quintin asks Gerald to switch seats with him. Although Gerald had originally had no problem with it, Quintin had thrown a hundred dollars at Gerald while asking.
If he was a little nicer and more polite, Gerald would have already swapped seats with him. However, since a hundred dollars were thrown at him, Gerald completely ignored Quintin's request.
Had Haven not intervened to advise Quintin, he would have started fighting with Gerald.
Later, Haven himself started chatting with Gerald. Since Gerald had traveled so much in the past year, he was no longer the same person who only knew about Serene County and Mayberry City.
Due to his extensive knowledge of many different places, Haven soon found himself fascinated by it.
Xareni, on the other hand, never said a word to Gerald. Being the oldest among the three, he was slightly colder and more aloof in general.
That's the essence of their interaction on the train.
“So, where are you going next? Did you come to Logan Province to study or work?” ask Haven curiously.
"I'm just here to travel!" gerald replied with a smile.
"Oh! If you are traveling around here, then I suggest you go to a place called Balbrick Manor! There are many funny things to do there, from golf to horse racing!”
If it's not clear yet, the three of them have a rather remarkable background.
Born with immense pride and elegance, Xareni is the most unrealistic of the three despite being the oldest. He was too used to just meeting prestigious people. As a result, he looked down on normal people like Gerald. For Xareni, such a person doesn't even have the right to be friends with her!
"Alright .." replied Haven, saying nothing more.
With that, Gerald ordered a plate of fried rice with eggs on it. As soon as the food arrived, he immediately started eating slowly.
As she eats, she realizes that Lovewells don't really eat much based on what they order.
Moments later, the three of them got up to pick up their luggage. However, before they left, Haven secretly returned to Gerald's side before whispering, “Hey, I live in Lovewell Manor in Logan Province! If you find the time, come and have fun with me! Also, just in case you forgot, my full name is Haven Lovewell!”
Before Gerald could answer, Xareni had already pulled Haven's hand out of the restaurant.
“... How naive he is..” muttered Gerald to himself with a resigned smile.
He, for example, was in no mood to have fun with her.
Now that he has finally gotten a chance to ignore all of his past resentments and grudges for a few days, Gerald wants to take the opportunity to relax properly.
With that in mind, Gerald began touring the tourist attractions in Logan Province. Before he knew it, night had come and night was drawing near.
Realizing that he still needed to find a place to stay, Gerald was just about to go hotel hunting when he heard a voice say, "What are you planning?"
The feminine voice came from the entrance of an alley. Taking a few steps back to look down at the dark area, Gerald realizes that some drunken young man has dragged a woman into an alley that only leads to a dead end.
"What do you think? We'll have fun with you, of course! Now, come!” said one of the three hooligans who instantly started dragging him further into the alley.
As he desperately struggled to escape, the corner of his eyes caught a glimpse of another young man walking towards them. Seeing someone coming to help, the woman used all her strength to push the hooligan—which pulled her arm—away from her.
Fortunately, the hooligan was drunk enough to let go and the woman immediately ran to the new young man's side before clinging to his arm and shouting, "They tried to take liberties on me, hubby!"
He made sure to pinch his arm as well, a clear indication for him to cooperate with her.
