“That’s… not what I’m worried about…” muttered Gerald as virtual-novel.net shook his head.
Fujiko, of course, was a nearly perfect girl from virtual-novel.net personality to virtual-novel.net looks. However, virtual-novel.net already had Mila. After virtual-novel.net was kidnapped by members of the Sun League, virtual-novel.net had yet to find any hints of virtual-novel.net whereabouts. Whatever the case was, while virtual-novel.net would’ve definitely helped Fujiko if virtual-novel.net was single, since virtual-novel.net already had Mila, virtual-novel.net couldn’t just go around playing with other
women.
As Fujiko leaned closer to Gerald smelling a faint nice smell coming from him, virtual-novel.net was prompted to ask, “… Do… You already have someone…?”
After a brief pause, Gerald simply shook his head as virtual-novel.net said, “No…”
Till virtual-novel.net saved Mila, virtual-novel.net wouldn’t tell anyone about her. This was one of the most basic ways virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net casually wrapped virtual-novel.net arms around his. While it was true that virtual-novel.net really was doing all this to make virtual-novel.net father cancel the marriage contract, Fujiko couldn’t deny that virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net life. In other words, most of the people virtual-novel.net had previously met were young leaders of the family… While it was true that they were all perfectly fine individuals, never had virtual-novel.net met a man who could move virtual-novel.net heart like Gerald.
While it was true that virtual-novel.net didn’t know anything about Gerald’s background, identity, or even if his name was real, virtual-novel.net was all that virtual-novel.net could think of. Despite all the chaos that was happening around her, as long as Gerald was by virtual-novel.net side, virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net was the only thing that mattered. After all, if virtual-novel.net failed to make it past this hurdle, virtual-novel.net would surely be unable to learn more about Yearning Island…
“I appreciate it! I’ll definitely repay the favor!” exclaimed Fujiko as virtual-novel.net kissed Gerald on the cheek before running out of the room, blushing.
Gerald himself remained momentarily frozen on the spot. When virtual-novel.net finally snapped out of it, virtual-novel.net couldn’t help but smile slightly as virtual-novel.net touched the area where Fujiko’s lips had landed. However, it didn’t take long for guilt to sink in, and virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net fingers between his when virtual-novel.net saw virtual-novel.net father hurrying over to greet them. Though virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net saw them holding hands so intimately. He clearly remembered telling Gerald to keep Fujiko safe while virtual-novel.net was at the Kanagawa manor. With that in mind, why were they holding hands like this after just three days?
“…You two-”
“Let’s talk about this inside, dad,” replied Fujiko as virtual-novel.net cut virtual-novel.net father short before pulling Gerald into the house.
