Gerald furrowed his brows upon hearing the request. An international call, but he felt familiar with the voice."Hello, Gerald, can you help me?" she asked again, feeling a lack of response."Who are you?""Gerald, don't you recognize my voice? It's Alinne!"He was a bit annoyed that Gerald didn't recognize her voice."Well, you're Alinne, apparently. Who else did I think?" Gerald replied with a laugh.Meanwhile, Alinne on her campus was already starting to feel anxious."Can you pick me up right now?" Alinne asked, full of hope.Gerald, hearing this, felt pity, especially since the day was turning into night."Alright, I'll pick you up. Wait for another 15 minutes," Gerald said, then hung up the phone.Gerald hurriedly organized his work equipment. Fortunately, Alinne called when he had finished his work, so he could pick up the girl.Gerald rushed to his locker to grab his jacket and helmet. After quickly retrieving his beloved motorcycle from the parking lot, he confidently rode to
"Zack, learn to act mature. Grandma wants you to be a good and successful man in everything," Sarah wisely advised.Zack, on the other hand, was irritated by Sarah's perceived seriousness about life. "Fine," Zack replied lazily.Shortly after, Anna, who was still crying, reluctantly asked Sarah to take her home, even though her main goal of meeting Barnett had not been fulfilled. However, she gained more insight into her son's household.After Sarah returned home, Zack called his mom to inform her that Sarah had come looking for him but had already left.Martha was surprised when Sarah came without notice but relieved that her husband wasn't home.

Chapter 17"Albert, why hasn't our child arrived yet? I'm worried that something might have happened to him on the way," Elena said anxiously."Is there no news from him?" replied Albert, who was still lying on the bed.What actually happened to Gerald?Elsewhere, Olivia, who was confused about her tuition fees, sat contemplating in the campus garden. She was thinking about ways to earn money to cover all these expenses, as she had previously relied on financial support from her parents."Sigh, it seems like I really need to become independent now and start building a career," Olivia murmured.The bustling campus garden couldn't alleviate Olivia's distress. While opening her phone to search for job vacancies, she suddenly stopped."I better make sure first how much I need to pay for tuition," Olivia said softly as she stood up.Olivia walked quickly to the administration office. When she arrived, it happened to be quiet, allowing her more freedom to inquire."Excuse me, can I know how
In a kindergarten school, Anna was always picked up after school. However, this time, she was puzzled because she couldn't find the driver who usually picked her up. Tired of waiting, Anna walked away from her school and happily strolled down the street.After Anna left the school premises, a black luxury limousine stopped at the gate of an elite school. Fredy quickly ran into the seemingly deserted school with an anxious feeling. His eyes scanned the entire campus, searching for his little master named Anna. However, he did not see the presence of the little girl.Growing more anxious and fearing something bad might happen to Anna, Fredy rushed towards the security guard in the guard room. "Sir, is Anna Johnson still in the classroom?" Fredy asked hastily.The security guard paused for a moment. Then, he made a call to the teacher's room to inquire. "Ma'am, is there a student named Anna Johnson still in the classroom?"The teacher was astonished. "All the students have been picked up
"Do you know where Gerald is?" Zack asked as he approached the crowd of people."Isn't he on vacation? He hasn't been seen for several days," replied a man sitting in the crowd.After learning that Gerald was missing, Zack decided to leave. "That darn kid, escaping from my grip," he muttered angrily.Elsewhere, Oliv still couldn't believe that this semester's tuition fees were paid off until graduation. Oliv wondered who had helped. In her thoughts, Oliv suddenly received a phone call. She checked who was calling, and it turned out to be Gerald."Hey, beautiful, what are you doing now?" Gerald flirted over the phone."I'm thinking about who paid off my tuition fees!" Oliv replied."Are you serious? Your semester fees are all paid off?" Gerald pretended to be surprised.Gerald didn't want to tell Oliv that he was the one who had paid off all the tuition fees. He was aware that he was just a regular part-time employee. He was afraid Oliv would be suspicious of where he got the money, co
Zack was on his way home with his friends. He sat with a straight gaze ahead, while his three friends exchanged glances, puzzled by Zack's silent demeanour."Zack, it's been a while since we went to the club and had some fun," said Tian."True, it's been ages since we drank and danced with sexy women," added Cris. "How about we party tonight?" Tian continued.Zack, who had been silent, reacted slightly to his friends' idea. Indeed, it had been a long time since they had entertained themselves."Brilliant idea. Alright, tonight we'll have some fun," Zack decided.Upon hearing Zack's approval, his three friends spontaneously cheered and laughed together.Tian, busy with his motorcycle from a distance, saw a familiar motorbike. However, the owner's appearance made him doubt his eyes."How can his appearance be so cool?" Tian mumbled.It turned out that Cris also felt the same, but their reactions were different. "Zack, isn't that the nerd?" teased Cris.Hearing Chris mention Gerald, Zack
