Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1096
The question had come from Giya.
“…It’s a long story. Regardless, just rest easy and focus on healing for now… I’ll tell you more about it in the
future…”
Now that he had located the eternal coffin, it only made sense for Gerald to return to his family as soon as he
could. After all, there were still multiple mysteries that had yet to be solved.
It was the second reason why he had called the helicopter over. The main reason, of course, was because he was
extremely worried about Giya’s condition.
“We’re nearing the island now, Mr. Crawford. However, it seems that something is happening at the mouth of the
island. Quite a lot of people are currently down there…” said one of the Crawford bodyguards who were present in
the helicopter.
“…Hmm?” said Gerald as he immediately stood up and looked out the helicopter’s window.
Just as the bodyguard had said, his grandfather and many others could be seen standing at the mouth of the island.
However, they seemed to be discussing something with a woman he couldn’t quite recognize, at least from his
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtcurrent height. As a result, he was at least sure that they definitely weren’t standing there to welcome his return.
“Take care of Miss Quarrington. I’ll be heading down there to have a look!” ordered Gerald as he slid the
helicopter’s door open before jumping off!
“Gerald?!”
“Mr. Crawford!”
‘By god! We’re currently over two thousand feet above the ground!’ Thought both of them, feeling completely
astonished as cold sweat dripped down their foreheads.
However, they had clearly forgotten that Gerald was now no longer an ordinary man. Due to that, he landed quite
easily before the crowd, greatly shocking several of his family’s present bodyguards.
“…W-what… M-Mr. Crawford is back!” shouted several of the guards in both respect and fear.
How the hell had Mr. Crawford safely descended from the sky like that?!
Even Daryl and Dylan—who had been standing at the side—found themselves slightly shocked.
Quickly getting over his surprise, Daryl’s eyes lit up with excitement as he delightfully said, “Gerald! You’re back!”
“Indeed I have, grandpa. Were you worried about me?” said Gerald as he walked closer to the group.
At that moment, Gerald watched as the woman from before squeezed out from the crowd, a baby in her arms. The
moment her eyes met Gerald’s, she immediately looked at her baby before saying, “Haha! Mable, look! Your
father’s home!”
Hearing that, the dismayed Daryl and Dylan turned to look at each other, their expressions suggesting that they
didn’t even know whether to laugh or cry.
“…Alice? What do you mean, ‘your father’s home?’ Whose baby is that?” said Gerald as he took in a deep breath,
his eyes widened.
Ever since Alice had made him drunk—which caused him to fail to meet up with Mila before her disappearance—he
hadn’t contacted her. After all, he honestly still resented her for that.
To think that she had managed to find out where he lived a year and a half later.
“Why, she’s our daughter, of course! She’s now six months old! Her name is Mable, you know?” said Alice with a
smug expression on her face.
“…Our daughter? …But… Back then, didn’t you say that we didn’t…?” replied Gerald, his eyes wider than ever now.
“Well, if I had told you the truth that morning, would you have let me go that easily? Knowing you, you certainly
wouldn’t have allowed our daughter to be born in the first place!” said Alice as she tied her hair, now looking very
much like a young mother.
“You… How despicable!” shouted Gerald, filled with remorse.
“…What… What did you say? Did you just call me despicable?” replied Alice, slowly getting anxious.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmTurning to look at the slightly dazed Jessica, Alice then said, “Sister! Did you see how he treated me?!”
Jessica, however, simply turned to look away as she scratched the back of her head,
Seeing that, Alice then turned to face Yulia before adding, “Mom! Just look at how he’s treating both me and my
daughter!”
Displaying a stiff smile, Yulia then replied, “I’d rather you refrain from calling me mother just yet, girl. Regardless,
the most important thing now is for us to get to the bottom of all this. After all, Gerald has never told us about this
incident before…”
“…You’re right! Since this child truly is a Crawford, go ahead and take as many paternity tests as you want!” said
Alice as she turned to look at Gerald.
Looking at Dylan next, she then shouted, “Dad!”
“…Aye! Well, whatever the case is, don’t get too nervous first, child… It’s a bit windy out here so bring the child into
the house first… I’ve already arranged for a few doctors to run the required tests…” replied Dylan as he shook his
head, feeling a headache coming.
Gerald himself had yet to break free from his daze.
“…Have I truly become a father now…?”
