Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 127
”I didn’t bring a gift.”
Gerald could not help but offer a regretful smile.
He originally wanted to prepare a gift for her grandmother but Mila stopped him. She felt that the both of them could just give her grandmother one gift and naturally she would look for the gift herself.
Hence the reason Gerald turned up empty handed today.
He simply came to attend the birthday banquet to make Mila’s grandmother happy. Who would have known that Irene would deliberately bring this up to make things difficult for him?
“What? He did not bring a gift? I thought that Mila’s boyfriend would be bringing something valuable along with him too!”
“Isn’t Mila’s boyfriend also a rich second generation? Logically speaking, he should also be well-versed with basic etiquette and manners. This is the first time that he’s meeting her grandmother, but he did not bring anything with him at all?”
“He definitely falls short compared with Irene’s boyfriend, Kenneth!”
Hush whispers and mumbling echoed amongst the relatives and friends.
Despite the soft chatter, their conversations were still quite clearly heard amongst everyone present.
Upon observing the situation, the old lady failed to keep a straight face.
She was not the kind of person who enjoyed receiving gifts but as an elderly person, image and reputation were the most important things.
She then dropped her sense of affection towards Gerald as she had been to Kenneth.
