The Secretly Rich Man

Chapter 2079

Gerald Crawford: The Secretly or invisible Rich Man Chapter 2079 “That’s… not what I’m worried about…” muttered Gerald as he shook his head.

Fujiko, of course, was a nearly perfect girl from her personality to her looks. However, he already had Mila. After she was kidnapped by members of the Sun League, he had yet to find any hints of her whereabouts. Whatever the case was, while he would’ve definitely helped Fujiko if he was single, since he already had Mila, he couldn’t just go around playing with other

Women.

As Fujiko leaned closer to Gerald smelling a faint nice smell coming from him, she was prompted to ask, “… Do… You already have someone…?”

After a brief pause, Gerald simply shook his head as he said, “No…”

Till he saved Mila, he wouldn’t tell anyone about her. This was one of the most basic ways he could protect her…

“Then it’s settled! Just act with me for a bit, and once Kai is out of the picture, I’ll find a way to properly thank you!” replied Fujiko as she casually wrapped her arms around his. While it was true that she really was doing all this to make her father cancel the marriage contract, Fujiko couldn’t deny that she was using this chance to be a couple with Gerald, even though it was only for show…

As a Futaba, Fujiko had been treated like a precious jewel all her life. In other words, most of the people she had previously met were young leaders of the family… While it was true that they were all perfectly fine individuals, never had she met a man who could move her heart like Gerald.

While it was true that she didn’t know anything about Gerald’s background, identity, or even if his name was real, he was all that she could think of. Despite all the chaos that was happening around her, as

long as Gerald was by her side, she was able to feel safe…

Either way, after rapidly retracting his arm, Gerald paused for a moment before replying, “… Alright, let’s go with that…”

“I’m glad to hear that! Needless to say, do cooperate well with me so that my family doesn’t see any flaws in you. Otherwise, even if my father agrees to end the marriage, the rest of my family members will simply continue insisting that I get married to Kai…” muttered Fujiko somewhat nervously.

Sighing in response, Gerald then helplessly replied, “… Don’t worry, I will…”

In the end, protecting her was the only thing that mattered. After all, if she failed to make it past this hurdle, he would surely be unable to learn more about Yearning Island…

“I appreciate it! I’ll definitely repay the favor!” exclaimed Fujiko as she kissed Gerald on the cheek before running out of the room, blushing.

Gerald himself remained momentarily frozen on the spot. When he finally snapped out of it, he couldn’t help but smile slightly as he touched the area where Fujiko’s lips had landed. However, it didn’t take long for guilt to sink in, and he quickly rubbed his face hard before lighting a cigarette to calm himself down…

Fast forward to the next morning, Gerald and Fujiko checked out of the hotel before driving back to the Futaba manor…

Upon arriving and getting out of the car, Fujiko quickly held onto Gerald’s hand making sure to entwine her fingers between his when she saw her father hurrying over to greet them. Though she knew that they were simply acting, Fujiko couldn’t help but smile. After all, even though this was all just an illusion, for the time being, Gerald was hers…

Takuya himself couldn’t help but stare at the duo when he saw them holding hands so intimately. He clearly remembered telling Gerald to keep Fujiko safe while she was at the Kanagawa manor. With that in mind, why were they holding hands like this after just three days?

“Let’s talk about this inside, dad,” replied Fujiko as she cut her father short before pulling Gerald into the house.
