[Chapter 62]
Even though the speaker did not intend for anything, mindless listeners could take their words seriously.
Nathaniel frowned as soon as he heard that Gerald had paid for Mila's milk tea.
He could tell that both of them obviously knew each other. Moreover, Gerald had paid for Mila's milk tea? Was there something more than this between them?
As he thought about it, Nathaniel immediately sent a text message to Victor.
Then, Nathaniel looked at Gerald who was about to continue chatting with Mila before he said, "Gerald, are you here to practice how to drive, or did you come here to chat with girls? It must have already been hard enough for you to save enough money to pay for your driving lessons. Aren't you going to pay more attention to the driving lessons instead?"
Several girls who were standing at the side also looked at Gerald with contempt in their hearts. They had initially thought that this person was quite honest, but it seemed as though he had completely lost his train of thoughts as soon as he saw a beautiful girl.
Mila could tell clearly that Nathaniel was attacking Gerald, so she quickly defended him. "Nathaniel, what are you trying to say? Why are you attacking Gerald? You have failed Subject Two twice but you are still attacking others in vain. If you have that much time, you should focus on studying by yourself instead."
"I…" Nathaniel's face turned black immediately.
Vroom!
At this time, the sound of a car roaring suddenly sounded near the playground.
Everyone turned to look in that direction in an instant.
After that, a few of the girls pointed outside as they shouted, "Wow! That Audi A6 is so beautiful!"
"Oh my! Does that car belong to the Brother Victor that he was talking about earlier? I heard that he's the vice president of the student union for the Department of Language and Literature!"
"So cool!"
The group of girls could not help but look at the direction of the car enthusiastically.
Meanwhile, the car finally stopped in front of Mila, and the tall Victor stepped out of the car immediately, Whitney following suit.
As soon as Victor got out of the car, his eyes naturally fell on Mila and Gerald.
He could not believe it when he received the text message from Nathaniel earlier. However, he realized that Mila was indeed standing next to Gerald at this time.
"Mila, do you know Gerald personally?" Victor asked curiously.
He was afraid that Mila might have fallen for Gerald's petty tricks and lies.
"We met and got to know each other today. What's the matter?" Mila was very displeased with Victor's questioning tone.
"Nothing's wrong. Did Gerald tell you anything suspicious? Did he tell you that he has some friends who are driving some limited edition Ferraris? I'm telling you, that's all fake! We found out that he is just lying about those so-called friends that he has!"
Victor had already looked into the matter. He believed that it was highly likely that Gerald had spent seven thousand dollars to experience what it felt like to ride in a Ferrari because he wanted to use this as an opportunity to get close to girls.
Unexpectedly, Gerald also seemed to be interested in Mila.
Mila could not help but frown as soon as she heard Victor's words.
At this time, Gerald was simply staring at Whitney who was standing beside Victor.
Needless to say, she had taken everything he had said to coax her the last time to heart, even conducting her private investigation into this matter.
What was wrong with this woman? Why was she so interested in his private affairs?
"Well, Gerald, let me give you a warning now. You'd better stay away from Mila from now onward. Mila is a girl that you will never be able to have or reach in your entire lifetime! Besides, you are a very hypocritical person, and I absolutely despise you!"
Whitney could still remember everything that Gerald had told her when she saw him getting out of the Ferrari the other day. He had told her that his friend had driven him back in his Ferrari.
Whitney was still very furious because she could not believe that this guy was so full of shit!
Moreover, Victor also said that Gerald had actually bought milk tea for Mila.
Was this toad trying to get a taste of a swan's meat?
Whitney's words made Nathaniel and everyone else at the North Playground look at Gerald as they sneered.
"Whitney, why are you saying all this about Gerald…"
Mila had already known and observed that Whitney was very cold and impolite toward Gerald ever since the last time.
"Mila, I'm just afraid that you will be deceived by this jerk! Gerald is not as simple or honest as you think he is!" Whitney replied as she glared at Gerald with a stern expression on her face. "By the way, Mila, will you be free tonight? Brother Victor is the host and he would like to bring you to Homeland Kitchen for dinner tonight! I can come along if you go!" Whitney continued in a sour tone.
"I will have to practice driving in the afternoon so I might not have time to go for dinner tonight…" Mila did not really want to go for the dinner with them.
"Oh, can't you just practice driving some other time? Do you honestly have to practice driving today? Mila, don't tell me that the reason you are turning down Victor's invitation to dinner is because you want to practice driving with Gerald? Don't you think that that's a waste of your time?"
Whitney's words placed Mila in a very difficult spot. It would be wrong for her to go, and it would be wrong for her not to go.
If she agreed to go for dinner, she would indirectly be saying that she did not want to spend time with Gerald. That would only embarrass Gerald and put him down.
Truthfully, Gerald was a very good person, or at the very least, Mila felt so.
However, if she declined the dinner, Whitney would never let her off.
Finally, Mila replied, "Okay, I will come for the dinner, but I want to bring someone with me. After all, he helped me out today. I will be the host tonight and all of us can go for dinner together, okay?"
Then, Mila turned around and looked at Gerald who was standing quietly at the side.
