Slumdog Billionaire Husband
Chapter 637

Chapter 637 The Last Time

When Gerald heard Irene's words, his expression slightly changed.

To be honest, he didn't think he had anything to talk about with Irene.

It was already a miracle since Gerald didn't go against the Everett family. Those three years were the most miserable memories of Gerald's life.

Watchman No. O became a matrilocal son-in-law, but in the end, he was cheated. No man could accept such a humiliation.

Fortunately, they didn't have a child.

However, the matter was a little troublesome, and there were many people watching around. Gerald felt that it was necessary to settle the matter as soon as possible.

He exhaled and said, "Okay, you come with me!"

Irene looked a little happy. She got up and followed Gerald out.

Gerald didn't intend to talk here. The group of people were some experts. If they talked here, these guys could hear it clearly. They might ridicule him later.

He took Irene out of the room. Scar, Theo, and others began to cough.

Gerald wanted to kick Theo away. When he passed by, this guy was still throwing meaningful glances.

Irene's face was red. She was not stupid. She naturally knew why those people were coughing.

The two walked through the crowd and walked in one direction for a long time. They arrived at a nearby pavilion. Beside it was a swimming pool that was not small. It was usually built for Watchmen. In the pavilion, Gerald sat down and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it!"

Irene bit her lips and looked pitiful. Gerald didn't know if she was pretending or if it was real.

Gerald glanced at her, but there was no fluctuation in his heart.

"I know from your expression that there is indeed no possibility for us. Alright. I think back on it during this period. During those three years, we were really too bad for you. It was the same for both me and my family. Moreover, you're a respected man now. You are now a hero of the entire human being. I am not worthy of you," Irene said as if she was talking to herself.

Gerald frowned and said lightly, "If that's all you want to say, it is meaningless."

Irene nodded. She walked to the side and sat down. Looking at the swimming pool below, she had her eyes filled with sadness. "People always know to cherish when they lose it. I did look down on you back then, but I didn't think I made a big mistake. This is the truth in this era. I just want to pursue a better life."

"It is okay to pursue a better life, but you should rely on yourself, but not others. Your family, apart from your father, has some problems in your views," Gerald frowned and said.

Yes, you're right. If I knew that you were so powerful and rich, maybe we would have had children now." Irene laughed and said, "I never thought that the man I yearn for was once my husband, but I failed to catch him."

Irene paused and swallowed. "Don't worry. I didn't say so much to gain your agreement. I just have mixed feelings. I can't express my feelings for work and life. Now that so much time has passed, I have become more open-minded. It's just that my mother is always stubborn."

"It's good that you've gotten over it. We have nothing to do with each other. I don't owe you anything," Gerald said calmly.

In those three years, he worked hard. He gave them every penny he earned. Later, he saved them several times. In the end, he arranged a good job for Irene and Vivian in order to save some trouble. Their salaries were much higher than those of most jobs, and they had much free time.

"Yes!" Irene nodded, then let out a sigh and said, "Let's get to the point. This time, I actually came here to ask you for help. This time, I clearly saw Elite Ghost land in front of me. At that time, I was extremely scared. I felt I still have nightmares like I was going to die there. I saw the same bloody scene as on the TV. Even now as extremely scared. I felt every day, so... I hope you can protect us. For the sake of my father, is that okay? Let our family live here! We will not cause trouble for you. We will live our own lives in peace. We can also be responsible for some work, such as cleaning and cooking.

Gerald waved his hand and said, "Don't worry. I can promise you. When the war began, many of my friends were here."

At that time, the Lam family of Washington, the Maddox family, Daphne and her mother Jessica, as well as Wesley and Leila were all sent there by Gerald. But after the victory, only a few people from several families waited for Gerald to come back and wanted to thank him in person. The others went back, including Wesley and Leila.

Because the new semester was about to start, Leila had to go back to school, while Wesley went back to take care of her. "For the time being, nothing will happen. Of course, if there is something later, you can come back" Gerald said indifferently.

"I originally thought so." Irene shook her head and said, "But my mother is still afraid. How about this!"

Irene gritted her teeth and said, "With your ability, it is not difficult to arrange a job for me in Sacramento. My mother and I will sell the house in Los Angeles and move to Sacramento. If there is really a problem we can come over faster. I know I may pass the line, but we just want to keep us safe."

Gerald frowned. This was not a problem.

"I promise I won't harass your family, and I won't ask you to remarry me!" Irene repeated.

Gerald's eyebrows twitched slightly, and then he slowly sighed and said, "Alright, I can agree to this condition, but this is also the last thing I will promise you. Don't make trouble for me, and we will be even!" After saying that, he sighed in his heart.

No matter what, his life was saved by Irene's father, and he would owe her for the rest of his life.

When Irene heard Gerald agree, her face lit up and she said, "Thank you!"

Gerald stood up and said, "You can go back. You can go and replace a house in the next few days. I will get someone to contact you about work."

Speaking of this, he frowned and said, "You haven't changed your phone number, right?"

"No!" Irene quickly nodded.

"Alright, if there's nothing else, I'll go back first," Gerald said as he stood up and left.

Looking at Gerald's back, Irene slowly let out a breath and then revealed a smile.
