    Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 803


    “This is Lyra, Gerald! Though we’ve never mentioned her to you before, she’s the one who’s been


    helping you handle your financial issues all these years. We’ve raised her since she was young!” said


    Yulia who didn’t seem to have heard what Lyra had said earlier.


    Though her mother wasn’t saying it directly, the underlying message she was implying was clear as


    day to Gerald. After all, not only had Gerald already heard others referring to Lyra as the youngdy, it


    was also obvious based on the current expressions on his parents’ faces.


    “Mom, we’ve already met earlier!” said Lyra a little louder this time as she looked at Gerald with a faint


    smile.


    “Oh, you have? Well all the better then! Haha! Alright, no more beating around the bush! Lyra is your


    fiancée, Gerald!” said Dn who was looking very happy.


    In response, however, Yulia coughed before tugging gently on Dn’s sleeve. After all, they were


    aware that their son had a girlfriend. Not only that, she was now missing! It simply felt too early to be


    talking about engagements.


    Gerald himself was astonished beyond words. He hadn’t expected the gentle and elegant Lyra to be


    his fiancée. No wonder the others were addressing her as the youngdy!


    This turn of events was somewhat simr to a television series he had watched in the past. Just like the


    girl in the show, Lyra had been adopted by the family just to end up bing his parents’ future


    daughter-inw.


    The entire situation was simply bizarre to him. It seemed that his family had put in a lot of effort just to


    raise and educate Lyra too.


    “Do take a seat, Gerald!” said Lyra at that moment, still blushing as she took out more tissues to help


    Gerald wipe the tea stains off his body.


    “You don’t have to trouble yourself, Lyra, I’ll do it myself…” said Gerald as he took the tissues from her


    hand. He was honestly still weirded out by the entire turn of events.


    After all, he didn’t have any feelings for her. What more, she was at least four years older than him!


    While it was true that her beauty was near unparalleled, Gerald simply couldn’t ept something like


    this that easily, and the feeling persisted throughout the family assembly.


    As the assembly went on, Gerald’s head was filled with thoughts. About how Lyra had been staying


    here for a long time now, and also about the fact that it was his mother who had arranged for her to


    stay here in the first ce.


    Just a few days ago, his sister had told him what had happened to M in Hong Kong. She had even


    told him that it was going to be difficult for them to be together in the end.


    Not understanding what she meant, he had tried contacting his parents back then to no avail. Now,


    however, he understood everything. As it turned out, his parents had already found him a wife years


    ago!


    As Gerald headed to his room, he was surprised to see Lyra following behind him. His shock didn’t stop


    there, however. Upon entering, she followed him as well and she began making the bed!


    “I’ll… be sleeping in another room tonight, Lyra… Since you’re probably already used to sleeping in this


    room, you can continue sleeping here! I’m sure you’re tired after today’s family assembly, so make sure


    to get a good rest!”


    Gerald was sure that if he continued facing Lyra, things were only going to be more awkward.


    This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.


    “It’s alright, Gerald… I understand how difficult it must be for you to just ept our marriage out of the


    blue. I’m well aware of what you’re currently facing as well. I’ll help you look for her!” said Lyra.


    Gerald hadn’t expected her to say something like that at all. However, he simply nodded before


    replying, “Thank you, Lyra!”


    With that said, he remained in the room for a little while longer before finally leaving.


    M’s recent disappearance had caused Gerald to be filled with deep remorse. There was no way in


    hell that he was going to be in the mood to face another woman. He simply couldn’t rest easy until M


    was found.


    And what about Lyra herself? While it was true that the Crawfords had raised her, she should have the


    right to choose who she truly wants to marry! Why should she have to marry a man much younger than


    her? They didn’t even have any feelings for each other!


    That night, Gerald found a random guest room to sleep in.


    When he woke up early the next morning, he saw three differently colored suits hanging on the head of


    the bed, and a pair of leather shoes on the side.


    It was the first day after their family reunion and Gerald knew he didn’t need to keep a low profile


    anymore.
