    Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1199


    Gerald truly hadn’t expected such a major interlude to take ce just from him heading over to Lugaw


    City.


    Regardless, Gerald wasn’t really that interested in Zack’s rtionship with the Snyders. After all, as


    long as it was rted to business affairs, Gerald had no doubts about leaving Zack in charge.


    Once the party was over, Gerald headed out together with Cundrie and a few others.


    As they were walking on, Gerald looked at Cundrie before saying, “I truly apologize for my imprudence


    back then, Miss Smith, and I hope you aren’t still angry about that incident… You see, at the time, I had


    mistaken you as M, my girlfriend, which was what caused me to behave the way I did… I had wanted


    to exin this for a while now, but I never got a proper chance to do so!”


    After Cundrie had stepped forward to bear the responsibility of her actions earlier—even though she


    knew how dangerous that would be for her—Gerald could already tell that she was a very nice person.


    “How could she remain angry? I’ll have you know, Mr. Crawford, that as long as you wish for it, I’ll not


    only allow you to hug her, but I’m even willing to give her to you-”


    Though Mrs. Smith had said so excitedly, she was cut short when Cundrie—who could tell what her


    mother’s intentions were—shot a bitter re at her. Realizing that she had gone a bit too, Mrs. Smith


    immediately stopped talking.


    Seeing that, Riley immediately began dragging her mother away as she said, “Mr. Crawford wishes to


    talk to sister, mom! Don’t disturb them!”


    Once they were out of sight, Cundrie then smiled faintly before replying, “…It’s fine. To be quite honest,


    while I was angry at the time, I simultaneously felt the urge to thank you after you made me realize


    something!”

    Cundrie could’ve never imagined that the imprudent man she had imagined Gerald to be this entire


    time was actually such a refined man who was quite stubborn when it came to love.


    “…Hmm? Was it something I said?” asked Gerald as he returned the smile.


    “Well, you see, I had previously thought that true love no longer existed on this… After all, the


    world today is fuelled mostly by sexual desires… Regardless, for the longest time, I simply considered


    all love to be fake and hypocritical… It got to the point where I assumed that whenever a man fell in


    love with a woman, he was only doing so to gain ess to her body! Due to that mentality, I had been


    disappointed with the concept of love for as long as I’ve lived!”


    “…However, the moment you embraced me, I could feel how tightly you were hugging onto me… I


    didn’t even know who you were yet at the time, but I could sense how much you loved the woman you


    mistook me for… It was almost as though you were terrified of the thought that she’d leave you again if


    you didn’t hug her tight enough… It was also at that moment when I realized that true love still existed


    in the world… I have to admit that I’m quite envious of that woman… She’s called M, right?” asked


    Cundrie as she turned to look at Gerald.


    After watching Gerald nod slightly, Cundrie then added, “Could I request something from you, Mr.


    Crawford…?”


    “Go on. I’ll try to fulfill your request as long as I’m able to!”


    “…If you don’t mind, I’d like to hear the story about you and M…”


    After a brief pause, Gerald then agreed and began telling Cundrie about his tale with her. It wasn’t long


    before Gerald summarized most of his rtionship with M to her.


    Once he was done, Cundrie found herself nodding in satisfaction before saying with a smile, “…I see.


    As it turns out, true love doesn’t really ask for much! Speaking of which, you said you needed a drop of


    my blood, correct? While I’m not quite sure how my blood will be useful to you, I don’t mind donating


    some since you sound like you really need it!”


    With that, Cundrie then bit into her index finger, causing a small amount of blood to start puddling there.


    Once Gerald got what he needed, he looked at Cundrie gratefully as he said, “If there’s anything you


    need help with in the future, know that you can alwayse to me. Thank you very much, Miss Smith!”


    Getting slightly teary-eyed, Cundrie then replied, “We shouldn’t be thanking each other anymore, you


    know…? After all, we’re friends now, so you better not thank me again in the future…! Jokes aside, I


    sincerely hope that you’ll be able to reunite with M again soon, Mr. Crawford… Do invite me over to


    your wedding when that timees…!”
