Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1233

“I refuse! After all, he’s already said that he would come today! As for all that you’ve said, I’ve already taken all that

into consideration the night before! That’s the reason why I arranged to meet up with him at the entrance of the

hotel!” said Noelle.

With her beauty and how meticulous she was with details, it was hard not to call Noelle a goddess.

Just as Yulisa had said, Noelle had taken into consideration that Gerald had probably never stepped foot into a five-

star hotel like this before. With that in mind, she had a feeling that he would definitely be feeling slightly timid and

pressured. Due to that, Noel had told him to meet up with her at the hotel’s entrance so that they could enter

together!

However, though they had agreed to meet up at nine that morning, it was nearing nine forty now yet Gerald still

couldn’t be seen anywhere! In fact, he hadn’t even read any of Noelle’s messages on WhatsApp!

Due to all that, Noel truly couldn’t help but wonder whether Gerald really wasn’t coming.

She also remembered him mentioning that he was going to prepare a special gift for a friend of his. Who was that

friend? Could it be a girl who was close to him? Could Gerald already like someone else other than her?

If Gerald had just been some ordinary guy, she wouldn’t have been bothered about that fact at all. However, Gerald

was no ordinary person.

He had several positive points, for one, his greatest being how strong and skillful he was. He was also currently a

hero in the minds of several people. In other words, he was an outstanding person.

It was because of this that Noelle couldn’t help but feel a little entangled whenever she thought about whether

Gerald truly liked her or not.

This wasn’t anything out of the ordinary for girls to think about, especially beautiful ones. It was simply something

that happened and was completely understandable.

At that moment, Preston, Gracie, and Yulisa’s roommates arrived at the hotel’s entrance.

“Noelle! There you are! I’m terribly sorry for having you wait for such a long time! I entered through the special VIP

passage earlier!”

Earlier when he was seconds away from arriving at the hotel’s entrance, Preston had already seen how anxiously

Noelle was looking at both sides of a street. Recalling how she had rejected him yesterday and comparing it to how

she was today, Preston immediately felt a great sense of satisfaction.

Following that, Gracie then smiled before saying, “Did you know that Preston’s brought along a birthday gift for you,

Noelle? Also, while I was just planning to call you up through the phone earlier, Preston kept insisting that he go

downstairs to personally look for you!

“Oh. Thanks, Preston! Regardless, you and mom can go back upstairs now,” replied Noelle as she smiled briefly at

Preston.

Upon hearing that, Preston’s face immediately went pale! Even Gracie was slightly taken aback. Something wasn’t

quite right with her daughter…

Had she not been waiting for Preston this entire time?

As Preston himself began thinking the same thing Gracie was, Gracie asked in a rather impatient tone, “…Noelle?

Who exactly are you waiting for?”

“I’m just waiting for my friend… I wonder why he’s not here yet!” replied Noelle without considering her words too

much.

“A… friend? …Noelle, is it a he or a she…?” asked Gracie again.

Instead of replying, however, Noelle simply walked further out toward the roadside to see why Gerald still hadn’t

arrived.

Seeing that, Gracie then turned to look at Yulisa before asking, “Yulisa, who exactly are both of you waiting for?”

With that, Yulisa then began telling everything to her, starting from when she had asked Gerald for his help to take

some pictures for them.

After hearing about all that had happened, Gracie finally understood that the person her daughter was waiting for

was just some poor person!

Preston—who had been listening to Yurisa as she explained—found himself taking in a deep breath, his sheer

jealousy evident on his face.

Noticing the change of expression on his face, Gracie instantly began gritting her teeth as well. And here she was

thinking that her daughter knew better! Shouldn’t she be well aware that Preston was way more important than

Gerald in terms of solving their family’s current dilemma?

Fuming in anger, Gracie then instantly walked over to Noelle, reprimanding her viciously.

…

Moving back to Gerald, after receiving Noelle’s invitation last night, he had attached great importance to the event.

Due to that, he had been well-prepared to head to the banquet from very early in the morning.

By his estimations back then, he should’ve arrived—in his car—before eight thirty even came.

Instead of driving a luxury or sports car, however, Gerald chose to drive an ordinary one.

This was because after resolving his misunderstanding with Noelle, he realized that he didn’t need to use money or

any interest to build their relationship up. The only thing he needed to do was attend her birthday banquet and

present her with a gift that he had meticulously prepared. Once that was done, everything else would flow

smoothly.

Quite personally, Gerald himself felt that it was rather repulsive to drive a luxury car, just to show off his wealth.

Noelle simply wasn’t the same as Cundrie was.
