Chapter 35 Even You Want to Abandon Me?

On the other side, in a slightly strange atmosphere, the dinner slowly came to an end.

On the table, Audrey and Hazel looked curiously at Gerald. The appearance of Valery made Gerald even more mysterious in their hearts.

Audrey wondered if Gerald had found a doctor for her father and saved him.

But Hazel thought Gerald was too strange. Gerald had been cowardly before, but he had acted tough in the cybercafe just now when he had been in trouble.

He had just divorced and was living with an extremely beautiful doctor.

He was simply too odd.

Henley lowered his head. Although the meal was delicious, he still had no appetite.

Henley failed to persuade Kaven, but Gerald succeeded. Henley was quite unhappy, but Doreen and Penny were quiet and ate in small mouthfuls.

In the strange atmosphere, the dishes on the table were rapidly decreasing!

Finally, Henley felt it was time for him to show off. He waved his hand and said, “Can we have the check, please?” Audrey quickly said, “Henley, you came to Los Angeles for me. How can you pay? Let me do it!”

“How can I ask a lady to pay? We guys will split the bill!” he smiled at Gerald and said, “I am not wrong, right,

Gerald?”

When Henley had just arrived, he had heard Audrey say that although Kaven did not cook much because of his hand injury, the price was actually quite high. A meal cooked by Kaven would cost at least 500 dollars per person. So, this meal would cost over 1,600 dollars.

This price was not much different from the top floor of the Marriott Hotel.

Of course, the taste was definitely worth the price.

But Henley knew Gerald’s salary was not high, so this was quite a big sum of money for Gerald.

Gerald curled his lips and ignored Henley.

When Henley noticed Gerald’s silence, he became more arrogant. Henley smiled, “Oh, my bad. I forgot you were no longer a member of the Kenneth family. Now you are working at the construction site. It is a bit difficult for you to pay half of the bill. I will pay for this meal!”

As he spoke, he looked at Gerald and said, “Come to think of it, Gerald, the construction job must be tiring for you. Why don’t I introduce you to a new job? You can go back to Sacramento with us. Our family has clout in Sacramento, so it is not a problem to give you a new job!

“But because you went to jail, I can’t give you a decent job.” Henley smiled and said, “How about you working at my company as a security guard or a cleaner? Of course, the salary will be higher than your current job. It’s 3,200 dollars a month. It should be a lot higher than your salary at the construction site!”

Henley’s words made the others frown slightly.

No matter what, Gerald worked hard to get this meal.

They all knew Henley said that only to humiliate Gerald, and Gerald could not work at his company.

Gerald looked up at Henley and said indifferently, “Did I ever say I wanted you to give me a new job?”

Henley frowned and said, “I was just being kind. Since you are not willing to accept it, then forget it. Waiter, I want to pay the bill. How much is it?”

At this time, Hamish walked out and said politely to Gerald, “Mr. Dirden wanted to express his gratitude for your help. So, this meal will be free. In the future, if you want to eat here, you won’t ever have to pay.”

Hearing that, Audrey and Hazel both revealed looks of envy.

Audrey quickly said, “Gerald, you must bring me with you next time you come.”

Gerald smiled, stood up, and said, “Then I will thank you and Mr. Dirden.”

After exchanging a few words of courtesy, the group of people walked out of the alley. Audrey asked, “We plan to go to Fragrance Mountain. Do you want to come with us?”

Fragrance Mountain was another tourist attraction in Los Angeles.

“I don’t mind. I have nothing to do in the afternoon anyway,” Hazel said. Then they looked at Gerald.

Henley frowned, obviously not wanting to bring Gerald along.

“I have something to do in the afternoon.” Gerald said, “I won’t go!”

Henley breathed a sigh of relief and thought, at least you are sensible!

Gerald thought for a moment and whispered in Hazel’s ear, “Be careful when you go out to play.” All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

There were two reasons he said that. One was that Blood Lotus would probably attack Audrey. The other was that

Decker and Jaydin might cause trouble for Hazel again.

Of course, the Night Watch had definitely sent people to guard Audrey in secret.

Hazel was relatively safe with Audrey and the others.

After the group left, Gerald walked toward home.

Just as he reached the entrance of the community, Gerald’s phone rang. He picked up his phone and saw that it was

Irene.

He was happy.

Irene actually called him at this time.

When he had been at the entrance of the community, he had seen it.

He smiled and picked up the phone, saying calmly, “Hello!”

“Gerald!” Irene said with a little sob, “Where are you? I want to see you!”

“You shouldn’t. Didn’t I tell you I had nothing to do with your family? Your father saved my life, and I took care of you for three years. I gave you a house, so we don’t owe each other anything,” Gerald said indifferently.

“No, I have something to tell you!” Irene’s voice was still choked as she said, “I have already gone out. Let’s make an appointment! How about the café at the entrance of the community?”

“There’s nothing to talk about,” Gerald said.

After that, he hung up the phone!

Then he turned around and walked into the community. Just as he turned around, he saw Irene coming out. Her eyes were red, and she also saw Gerald. Then she quickly ran over.

Gerald frowned and looked at Irene who was approaching him. “If you have anything to say, just say it here! After you’re done, let’s not see or talk to each other again.”

Irene pursed her lips and said, “Gerald, I broke up with Adriel. He’s a scumbag!”

Gerald laughed and said, “Actually, you are quite like your mother. It’s a pity you two broke up. Now both of you have to hurt other people.”

Irene was shocked for a moment, then lowered her head, and said, “I know you must hate us very much. Only after losing you did I realize I should have cherished you. In the past three years, my mother and I, as well as my family, have hurt you.”

At this point, she pursed her lips and raised her head. “Gerald, after the divorce, you still stayed by my side. You even rented a house in the Cherry Garden just to be closer to me. You must still like me, don’t you?”

Gerald was annoyed. His living in the Cherry Garden was purely a coincidence. It was just that Valery and the others rented a house here, okay?

“It’s not what you said.” Gerald pursed his lips.

Irene gritted her teeth again and said, “Gerald, let’s get married again. I will definitely be good to you this time. I won’t overthink things. Let’s live a good life as a couple. As long as you are willing, I can give myself to you tonight. Didn’t you always complain about never touching my hand even after three years of marriage? At night, you can do whatever you want with me. Let’s have a child together…”

“Stop!” Gerald quickly waved his hand and said.

Irene suddenly burst into tears. She looked at Gerald and said, “Gerald, I really have nothing left. Even you want to

abandon me?”
