Gerald really did not expect such a huge interlude to happen just from him heading to Lugaw City.
After all, Gerald wasn't too interested in Zack's relationship with the Snyder family. After all, as long as it was related to business affairs, Gerald did not hesitate to leave Zack in charge.
After the party was over, Gerald left with Cundrie and a few others.
As they walked, Gerald looked at Cundrie before saying, “I'm really sorry for my carelessness back then, Miss Smith, and I hope you're not still angry about the incident, at that time, I had mistaken you. as Mila, my girlfriend, that was what caused me to behave the way I did ... I wanted to explain this for a while now, but I never got the right opportunity to do it!
After Cundrie stepped forward to assume responsibility for his previous actions — even though he knew how dangerous it was for him — Gerald already knew that he was a very good person.
“How can he stay angry? I'd like you to know, Mr. Crawford, that as long as you want it, I'll not only allow you to hug it, but I'm even willing to give it to you-“
Although Mrs. Smith had said it so excitedly, his speech was cut short when Cundrie—who knew what his mother's intention— glared at him sharply. Realizing that she had left a little too, Madam Smith immediately stopped talking.
Seeing that, Riley immediately started dragging her mother away while saying, “Master. Crawford wants to talk to sister, ma'am! Don't bother them!”
As soon as they disappeared from sight, Cundrie then smiled faintly before replying, “. To be honest, when I was angry at the time, I simultaneously felt the urge to thank you after you made me realize something!”
Cundrie could never have imagined that the unwise man she had imagined as Gerald all along was actually a very good man who was quite stubborn when it came to love.
"…Hmm? Is that something I said? ” asked Gerald while returning his smile.
“...However, when you hold me, I can feel how tightly you hold me.. I don't even know who you are then, but I can feel how much you love the woman you think I am… It's almost as if you're afraid to think that she'll leave you again if you don't hug her tightly enough ... It was also at that moment when I realized that true love still existed in the world ... I have to admit that I am quite envious of that woman.. She is called Mila, right?” cundrie asked as he turned to look at Gerald.
After seeing Gerald slightly nod, Cundrie then added, “May I request something from you, Mr Crawford..?”.
"Continue. I will try to fulfill your request as long as I can!”
“...If you don't mind, I want to hear a story about you and Mila..”.
After a brief pause, Gerald then agrees and begins to tell Cundrie about his story with her. Before long Gerald summarized most of his relationship with Mila to her.
As soon as he finished, Cundrie found himself nodding in satisfaction before saying with a smile, “. True love does not ask for much! By the way, you said you needed a drop of my blood, right? Although I'm not sure how my blood will be useful to you, I don't mind donating some of it because you sound like you really need it!”
With that, Cundrie then bit his index finger, causing a small amount of blood to start pooling there.
As soon as Gerald got what he needed, he looked at Cundrie gratefully as he said, “If there is something you need help with in the future, he said, know that you can always come to me. Thank you very much, Miss Smith!”
With a few tears in his eyes, Cundrie then replied, “We shouldn't thank each other anymore, you know…? After all, we are friends now, so you better not thank me again in the future…! Apart from the jokes, I sincerely hope that you can soon be reunited with Mila, Mr. Crawford.. Invite me to your wedding when the time comes.!”.
