Chapter 768 A Gift for You âThis is my brother-in-law, Gerald Kenneth,â Colten said proudly.
Gerald was stunned.
Valery was stunned as well.
Colten seemed to be introducing something extraordinary. His face was full of pride, as if he was Gerald.
After a short silence, the clinic exploded in an instant.
Many people began to approach Gerald. A man in his sixties frowned.
Those people surrounded Gerald.
âDamn, it really is Gerald.â
âGerald, can we take a picture together?â
âCan I have your autograph?â
In the discussion, Colten was calm. He clapped his hands and said, âGuys, donât be anxious. Line up. You can take photos with him and have his autograph. We are in a clinic and please be quiet...â
Gerald was petrified.
Valery blushed. She felt a little embarrassed.
Gerald found that Colten was quite funny.
However, under his order, the clinic gradually quieted down. Gerald had no choice but to wait to take photos.
with the crowd. Fortunately, only dozens of people were in the clinic. After they were satisfied, an old man walked over. Colten saw him and said guiltily, âDad.â
Coltenâs father was called Julien. He glared at Colten and said, âHow dare you.â
Colten felt guilty.
Fortunately, Julien did not think too much. He looked at Gerald and said, âThis is your first time coming to my house. Iâm so sorry for what happened. Although my son is not young anymore, he is still childish. Do not take it to heart.â
âItâs fine.â Gerald ignored people who were looking at him from all directions and said with a cough.
âI still have things to do here. Valery, take Gerald upstairs, then, do you want to come down and show cooking skills?â Julien looked at Valery and asked.
âSure,â said Valery with a smile.
The group of people helped move things. Julien frowned and said, âWhy is there so much?â
âJust some small gifts Gerald restrained the nervousness in his heart.
Julien was Valeryâs uncle. Although Gerald calmed down a lot after the ruckus just now, he was still a little nervous.
âYou can just come here without bringing anything.â Julien frowned.
âThe gifts have been bought anyway. Weâll carry them upstairs, Valery said.
âAlright. Then Iâll go get busy.â Julien nodded.
Soon, they went upstairs.
Upstairs, the decoration was ordinary. It was not luxurious but clean and tidy.
The Manning family was not short of money. Their medical skills had been passed down for generations, and Valery had countless assets. However, they were low-key.
When they went upstairs and put the things in the living room, Valery looked at Gerald and said, âSit here for a while. You can watch TV and play games on your phone. I will go down to help my uncle.â
Colten looked at Gerald reluctantly, then coughed and said, âIâll go down to help as well. Make yourself at home and do as you please.
Gerald nodded and said, âNo problem.â
They went down. Gerald sat down on the sofa. In fact, he felt it when he came up. There was a sound of breathing on the second floor. It should be Coltenâs daughter.
However, Gerald did not intend to disturb her. He sat down in the living room and then took out his mobile phone to play games on it.
At this time, he found that a door was opened, and then, someone peeked from the gap at him.
Gerald looked up and saw a little girl.
The girl saw that Gerald had discovered her and did not hide it. She pushed the door open and looked at Gerald and asked, âAre you Valeryâs boyfriend?â
She looked like she was thirteen or fourteen years old. She had a ponytail and was looking at Gerald with big eyes. She was curious and excited.
Gerald nodded and said, âYes, you are Ciara, right?â
âYou know my name?â The girl asked happily.
Gerald nodded. âYes, Valery told me about it.â
Ciara was happy. It seemed that because Gerald knew her, they became much closer. She walked to Gerald and sat down.
When she saw the pile of things Gerald brought, her eyes lit up. âAre these gifts you brought for us? Did you bring any for me?â
âOf course.â Gerald walked over and carried one of the boxes over. He placed it on the table and said, âThis is the gift for you. Valery.and I picked it for a long time.
Ciara was excited. She ran over and wanted to pick it up. However, she found that the box was heavy. The smile on her face became even wider.
âOpen it and take a look,â Gerald said with a smile.
Ciara nodded. She found a knife and opened the box. Then, she picked up the things in the box and looked at them. Her face suddenly turned gloomy.
Inside were dozens of exercise books.
Ciara felt like she was going crazy.
âDo you like it?â Gerald smiled and asked, âArenât you studying in junior high school? Valery said that you are studying. She and I chose the exercise books for your three years in junior high school...â
âLike my ass!â Ciara glared at Gerald. âYou want me to die!â
After saying that, she thought of something and took out her phone. âLetâs take a photo.â
Gerald did not refuse. After taking the photo, Ciara glared at Gerald and ran back to her room.
Gerald smiled. Actually, buying the exercise books was Valeryâs idea. Gerald thought it was fun, so he agreed.
The effect looked good. He smiled and relaxed a lot. He felt that Valeryâs uncleâs family was easy to get along with.
Ciara was in the room. She sent a photo to her friends in the group chat and began to show off that Gerald was in her house.
Then, those girls began to discuss crazily in group chat, Some wanted Geraldâs autograph and some wanted to come to her house.
Ciara was very happy.
Around seven oâclock in the evening, the clinic was closed. Julien came up. He was like an easy-going old man. When he saw Gerald, he smiled and said, âSorry to keep you waiting.â
âItâs fine. Are you all done with your work?â Gerald stood up, still a little reserved.
âYes, Julien said with a smile. Then he shouted into the room, âCiara, your classmates are looking for you.
They are downstairs.â
Clara ran out of the room and rushed downstairs.
Julien smiled. âSheâs still so reckless.â
âI wanted to cook for you, but itâs too late. Letâs eat out. Iâll go change my clothes,â Julien said with a smile.
âOkay, as you wish. Gerald smiled.
Colten winked at Gerald, then went to change his clothes.
Seeing them leave, Gerald breathed a sigh of relief while Valery looked at Gerald with a half-smile.
âWhy are you looking at me like this?â Gerald asked.
âItâs rare to see you like this. I find it interesting.â After that, Valery said, âHow is it? My uncleâs family is quite interesting, right?â
âYeah. Theyâre easy to get along with,â Gerald said.
Indeed, Julien was an easygoing person. Colten was his big fan, and Ciara was a child. He had no problems getting along with them.
âDid you show Ciara the exercise books?â Valery asked.
âYes, she asked me for a present just now, so I showed them to her. You have no idea what she looked like,â
Gerald said happily.
While they were talking, Colten and Julien changed their clothes and walked out. They looked at Gerald and said, âLetâs go.â
