Chapter 31 Why Is Gerald Always Around?
After Hazel closed the Internet café, she went down and unlocked a car parked aside. The car lights
flashed. Hazel said, “Get in the car. In order to thank you, I will take you to a fancy restaurant to have a
delicious meal!”
Gerald’s eyes lit up, and some expectations rose in his heart.
The car started moving forward. Somehow, Gerald found that the surrounding buildings were
somewhat familiar. He examined closer and found that the area was actually near Cherry Garden.
Of course, in Los Angeles, other than having breakfast outside, Gerald almost never went to a
restaurant for the rest
of the time.
Usually, Irene and her mother wouldn’t bring Gerald along when they went out to eat. They felt
embarrassed.
It was only on Thanksgiving when the family ate together, he would go to eat with them.
Therefore, Gerald really didn’t know what delicious food was near the Cherry Garden.
Unknowingly, the car arrived at the gate of Cherry Garden. Hazel stopped the car.
Gerald said in surprise, “The food you mentioned is at the gate of this community?”
“No, I gotta deal with something first,” Hazel said.
Gerald looked towards the entrance of the Cherry Garden. There were already some people gathered
there.
A luxurious car was parked at the entrance, and a beautiful woman was standing in front of the car.
She tried her best to keep a person from getting into the car. Hazel’s car couldn’t get through it while
they blocked the way.
“Adriel?” Hazel said with a frown. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
Gerald naturally recognized that the person was Adriel, and the person who was dragging him was
Irene.
Irene looked a bit bedraggled right now. Her hair was a bit disheveled, and tears flowed down her face.
“This playboy probably provoked another woman!” Hazel said with a frown.
Gerald looked at all of this without the slightest fluctuation of emotion in his heart. Hazel rolled down
the window,
and the voice from outside followed.
“Adriel, you can’t do this. You can’t abandon me!” outside, Irene cried. “It was you who took the
initiative to chase me. In order to be with you, I have already divorced Gerald. I have nothing now. You
really can’t abandon me.”
Hearing this, Hazel was stunned. She looked at Gerald and said, “She just said Gerald, right?”
Gerald did not think there was anything to deny. He nodded, “Yes, that woman is my ex. We got
divorced a few days ago.”
Hazel was surprised. She subconsciously looked at Gerald.
Gerald was speechless. Then he said, “Stop. My ex cheated on me, alright? But it was also an accident
that I married her. Something happened before. During three years of marriage, I didn’t even touch her
hand…”
“Shut up.” Hazel obviously did not believe what Gerald had said.
Gerald didn’t explain anything to her and continued to look outside!
“I was the one who took the initiative to chase after you. Didn’t you start off being aloof and indifferent
toward me? Didn’t you know how active you were after I drove my sports car to look for you that day?”
Adriel said as he struggled
free. “We have already broken up. Don’t pester me anymore, alright? I already said that my family
doesn’t approve of
this.”
“No, you can’t dump me,” Irene cried, holding Adriel’s arm tightly.
Adriel gritted his teeth and said, “You and I were together for money. I’ve given you quite a few bags
during this period of time. With the things I gave your mother, it should be at least 16 thousand dollars.
That’s enough!”
Seeing that more and more people were gathering around him, Adriel couldn’t keep his face up any
longer and forcefully pushed Irene. Irene’s footsteps became unsteady, and she fell to the ground.
Hazel frowned when she saw this scene and said, “Adriel is really an animal. He probably just wanted
to have sex with
her!”
As Hazel spoke, she looked at Gerald and said, “Aren’t you going to take care of it?”
Gerald shook his head and said, “It has nothing to do with me anymore. This marriage is a mistake, not
to mention
that we’re already divorced.”
After pushing her to the ground, Adriel tidied up his clothes and roared at the bystanders, “What are
you looking at? What are you looking at? Haven’t you seen a breakup?”
As Adriel spoke, he glanced at Irene, and Adriel’s eyes flashed with a trace of unwillingness.
Adriel only took a little advantage of Irene and did not successfully sleep with her.
“This girl is really pitiful!”
“Yes, the playboys these days are really…”
The people next to Adriel were discussing. In the security booth, the security guard said to the crowd,
“You think the girl is a nice person? Her ex–husband is also from our community. He is the one who
goes home wearing tattered clothes every night. He works at the construction site. Later, she found a
rich person and got divorced. She even drove her ex–husband out. I saw her mother scolding her ex–
husband at the entrance of the community several times. I have to say people like her deserve it!”
On the side, the corner of Gerald’s mouth twitched a few times. This fucking security guard had such a
good memory.
Gerald had indeed argued with Mary a few times at the entrance of the community, but he hadn’t
expected that the security guard would remember everything.
Irene sat on the ground and cried.
Adriel didn’t care about her anymore. He got into the car, stepped on the accelerator, and drove off.
Hazel looked at Irene, who was sitting on the ground, and asked with a frown, “You really don’t wanna
do anything
about it?”
“Let’s drive. What are we going to eat?” Gerald said.
Hazel frowned. She looked at Gerald and said, “You are so cruel. No matter what, she is your ex–wife,
isn’t she?”
“If you knew how her family treated me when I married her, you wouldn’t have said that,” Gerald said.
“Let’s go!”
Seeing Gerald say this, Hazel did not say anything more. She started the car, and the car slowly moved
forward.
Because there was a traffic jam, the car couldn’t move too fast.
The car slowly drove past the gate of the community. Gerald sat inside and did not look at Irene who
was sitting on the ground.
However, Irene, who was sitting on the ground, accidentally saw Gerald and was slightly stunned.
She watched as Gerald drove past in front of her, and also saw Hazel driving in the car.
After the divorce, Irene thought that she would live a better and rich lady life by marrying Adriel! And
Gerald would still be the same Gerald who worked at the construction site!
However, the situation after the divorce was completely different from what Irene had imagined.
Adriel was different from what she had imagined, and now she had even lost Adriel.
As for Gerald, he owed a company and became a rich man.
The women with him, from Keira to the one in the car now, were no less beautiful than Irene!
There was a huge gap in her heart. Looking at Gerald, who was far away, she got up, tidied up her hair,
and ran to the community in a daze!
Hazel drove for a while and found a parking spot on the side of the road. She took Gerald into a small
alley next to
them.
“Is there a place to eat here?” Gerald asked in surprise. “Don’t try to trick me!”
“Fuck off!” Hazel scolded. “I have no interest in a married man like you!”
“This is the house of the previous chef from Marriott Hotel. Now, the head chefs of Marriott Hotel are all
his apprentices. After he retired, he would do some small business at home. However, because of his
age and hand injury, he only cooks very few dishes every day. I brought you here to try my luck, so we
might not be able to eat it,” Hazel
said.
Gerald’s eyes lit up. Marriott Hotel was indeed quite outstanding.
The two of them walked around in the alley and soon arrived at a house. In the house, there were
several wooden tables in the open. They were not luxurious, but they were clean!
At this time, there were already some people in the house.
“Audrey!” Hazel suddenly spoke and exclaimed, “You’re here too!”
The people in the house were Audrey, Doreen, and the other two people.
Audrey turned around. When she saw Hazel and Gerald, she said with slight surprise, “Hazel, why are
you with
Gerald!”
Doreen was a little surprised and did not say anything. Henley snorted coldly and said, “Why is Gerald
always
around!”
Then, Henley took out his phone and sent a message to Fletcher with the location attached: “Gerald is
here!”
