[Chapter 126]
Helen started probing about her daughter's boyfriend's identity but Mila refused to reveal anything.
She simply told them to be patient and cooperate.
Gavin and Helen couldn't understand what she was thinking either.
"Mom, look, Mila's here!"
At that very moment, Mila gingerly took Gerald by her side as they breezed through the crowd of people.
They would've reached much earlier if it weren't for Gerald who needed to use the bathroom.
"Wow, our niece, Mila is really getting so much prettier!"
"Look! Is the person holding Mila's hand her boyfriend?"
"Who's this guy? Whose son is he? Why haven't I heard of him before?"
"Anyway, that guy is really blessed!"
A group of relatives and friends pointed at him.
"It's him!"
When Helen saw Gerald, her eyes widened in disbelief.
No wonder her daughter kept refusing to reveal who her boyfriend was. It turned out to be none other than this intolerable young man!
That's right. If Mila had told her about this, it would be impossible for her to allow the both of them to be together.
"Hmm? Who is he?"
The old lady asked at this time.
Helen didn't dare answer her question. What would the old lady do if she found out that her granddaughter was together with someone like him?
"Grandma, allow me to introduce him to you. This is my boyfriend, Gerald!"
Mila completely ignored Helen's glaring look of disapproval as she introduced Gerald to her grandmother.
"Oh? Mila, you have a boyfriend too?"
The old lady was suddenly overjoyed.
This was her most loved and favored granddaughter. She knew her granddaughter very well and she knew that the boyfriend of her choice would definitely be extraordinary.
"Gerald, do say hello to my grandma."
Mila said gently as she held onto Gerald's hand affectionately.
Was this the first time for Gerald to attend such a large gathering?
Gerald couldn't help but feel a little awkward as he knew this was all just an act.
His mind wandered, as Gavin, Helen, Kyle and Irene were all staring at him in an extremely hostile manner.
He was about to speak up when he Mila dove right in.
"Wait!"
Just then, an icy voice pierced right in.
Obviously, it was Irene.
The last time Mila was with Gerald, Irene and Kenneth were slapped right in the faces in front of Sean.
She was directly humiliated in front of Mila.
The amount of hatred and resentment pent up caused Irene to suffer from insomnia throughout this entire period.
She had been very curious ever since and wondered who Gerald was.
After digging through a background check from their university, she found out that Gerald was nothing but a mere rich second generation son who had hit jackpot.
He was probably nothing more than a pathetic pauper who had no money or power before that!
Plus, he had been dumped by his own girlfriend before.
He then met Mila when they were learning how to drive. But Irene felt that there was simply no reason Mila would fall for someone like him.
Why would Sean even be acquainted?
Hah. Hilarious. It wasn't that hard to guess the reason though.
After winning the lottery, Gerald had been splurging everywhere. He even purchased a bag worth fifty five thousand dollars and spent a tonne at various restaurants on Mayberry Commercial Street.
Perhaps, Sean ran into Gerald then and thought Gerald as someone really awesome.
In fact, Sean wasn't the first to have ever encountered such a situation which made other find Gerald so admirable.
As Irene found Mila's courage to bring Gerald here amusing, she questioned with cold expression:
"Mila, Gerald, since you're here today, aren't you going to give grandma a gift?"
"Of course I'm giving grandma a gift."
Mila retorted icily.
"Your gift is yours personally to give. The question was for Gerald. Since he is your boyfriend and since you said that Gerald's a rich second generation, then wouldn't he be more well-off compared to Kenneth then? If so, all of us are really curious to know what sort of gift Gerald has installed for grandma."
"That's right. Since it is their first time meeting, he should bring a gift with him."
"Who is he? It seems as though his family is quite capable?"
Relatives and friends suddenly gathered around in curiosity.
They were dying to find out what was the gift the boyfriend of her grandmother's favourite granddaughter had brought…
