    Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 562


    “Oh? Are you busy or something? Oh! Don’t worry, it’ll be Chase’s treat today! Even if we have to settle


    our own bills, I’ll back you up, alright?” said Lolita as she assumed Gerald’s worries.


    Naturally, it wasn’t about mary issues. It was just that Gerald still had to celebrate his own birthday


    today!


    Even if Gerald turned her invitation down, it wouldn’t matter much to Lolita. However, since he now


    knew that Mr. Weiss would be attending as well, he couldn’t help but feel like he would be letting his ex-


    teacher down if he didn’t join the gathering.


    “No, it’s not about the money… In all honesty, I was originally nning to invite you to celebrate my


    birthday with me today! But since you’ve mentioned Mr. Weiss, how about this? I’ll just go along with


    you to have a brief chat with him. After that, I’ll return and get back to my own celebration!” replied


    Gerald.


    “…Oh? It’s your birthday today? Well this is embarrassing! Alright, I think your n sounds good. We’ll


    go there, have a chat with Mr. Weiss and the rest of our ssmates, then we’ll leave together and


    celebrate your birthday! What about Xeno? Have you already invited him?” asked Lolita.


    “I have, but he’s told me that he can onlye over at noon. His business is still new after all, and he


    hasn’t had the time to hire more employees yet. He has to deal with so many things!”


    “Alright! And yeah, he’s really impressive now! Though my dad used to look down on his family, he


    personally brought some gifts over to them yesterday!” replied Lolita, slightly enviously.


    Gerald simply nodded without adding anything to that.


    By the time their ns were finalized, it was nearing eight o’clock.


    Both of them then rushed to the designated restaurant in town. Since Gerald lived in the main vige,


    the main street in town was within walking distance.


    Meanwhile, several of their former junior high ssmates were already at the restaurant’s entrance.


    They were all gathered together as they chatted among themselves. After all, wasn’t this the purpose of


    all ss reunions? Meetings like these would always be very cordial.


    The contents of their conversations mostly regarded their current status quos as well as ample


    reminiscing of their shared pasts.


    “Look there! Lolita’s here!” said a few ssmates as they pointed toward her and Gerald.


    “…Huh? That’s Gerald right? Well d*mn! I didn’t think that he’d be here today!”


    “Hahaha! I know right? I thought he had already disappeared off the face of the earth. Nobody would


    have expected to see him here today!”


    “You know, I heard some news that Gerald lived a miserable life in university. He was even struggling to


    pay for his own tuition fees! Another friend of mine told me that when he was having a meal with his


    own friend in Mayberry City, he saw Gerald washing the dishes in the kitchen! It was too embarrassing


    for him to even go up to Gerald and say hello!”


    “Heh, he’s always been poor after all. He doesn’t really have a choice but to take on any jobs he can


    find!”From N?velDrama.Org.


    When everyone saw Gerald, he immediately became the main topic of their conversations and they


    simplyughed.


    Within the group, one of the girls clearly stood out among her other ssmates due to her outstanding


    temperament. She was just chatting with her friends when she heard Gerald’s name being mentioned.


    She immediately felt goosebumps on her skin as she blushed and turned to look at Gerald who was


    still walking over.


    “Hehe… You used to be in a rtionship with Gerald, right Sherry? Don’t even try to deny that both of


    you used to date!” said one of the girls as she covered her mouth with a hand, trying not tough.


    “Don’t go spouting nonsense! When were we ever in a rtionship?” replied Sherry as her cheeks


    became as red as tomatoes.


    “Both of you were definitely in a rtionship at one point. I can still remember you exchanging letters


    with him! You used to be very close to Gerald!” added the same girl from before.


    “That’s not true…!” replied Sherry in a softer tone.


    “Sherry, don’t you remember why Xeno beat someone up…? Hehe… Anyway, let’s forget about that.


    Let’s just talk about something else!”


    Realizing that she had almost stepped on andmine, the girl quickly tried to change the topic as she


    stuck her tongue out rather awkwardly.


    “By the way, are you still seeing the guy who tried to beat Gerald up back then?” asked another girl.


    “We’ve stopped seeing each other a long time ago…” replied Sherry as she blushed.


    After saying that, she turned to look at Gerald again. She hadn’t met him for the past six years.
