Slumdog Billionaire Husband by Rayden Berg

Chapter 749 Congratulations

“Don’t go there tonight. Let’s get married!” Valery’s voice rang out in Gerald’s ear.

Gerald’s entire body froze.

Gerald had thought about marrying Valery many times.

It was Valery that made him slowly forget about Doreen

He married Irene and divorced her later. After that, though he got his memories back, and he had fallen

for Valery again, strictly speaking, he wasn’t an expert in figuring out women’s thoughts, and he didn’t

know what Valery was thinking.

In fact, Gerald had hardly ever been in love, and the things he had with Doreen were only one of the

stirrings

of his adolescence.

Then they got married. And his experience after becoming her husband wasn’t exactly perfect.

He had feelings for Valery for sure. Yet considering the threat brought by Elite Ghosts, he didn’t dare to

give her any promises. What was more, Valery was always aloof and cold, so Gerald had always been

restraining

bimself.

After living a period of peaceful life, he planned on pursuing Valery. He wanted to know if they could get

together.

But after he returned to Sacramento, his family had been pushing him so hard that he had to say yes to

a blind date. Thinking about the fact that he didn’t know about Valery’s thoughts, he figured that he

might meet

someone suitable for him.

And now, Valery suddenly offered to marry him, which made him extremely excited.

He swallowed and said, “You… Don’t lie to me!”

“You don’t want to?” Valery asked in a cold tone.

“Are you kidding? Of course, I want to!” Gerald smiled and said. “So, are we… together now?”

“Yes!” Valery’s voice was very soft.

Gerald was secretly delighted. Before he could say anything, Valery said, “I’m almost done with my

surgeries

here. I’ll come to Sacramento tonight.”

“Great!” Gerald said excitedly.

“I’m hanging up then,” Valery said. “If anything, talk to me on Line.”

Unlike the usual times, her voice was no longer cold. Instead, she sounded… a bit shy.

She directly hung up the phone without waiting for Gerald to speak.

After hanging up the phone, Gerald laughed heartily and was thoroughly excited. He… had a girlfriend

now.

He was twenty-eight years old. In fact, during those years when he was a Watchman, he had contacted

countless women, and a lot of them were pretty. However, this was the first time he was in a

relationship.

When he was married to Irene, he was nothing but a tool.

At that time, Irene didn’t take him seriously at all, and he never felt that he was in love.

Valery was standing in the hallway of Night Watch’s headquarters. When she hung up the phone, her

face, which had always been cold and aloof, was already flushed. She looked shy, which was a rare

thing.

She was the best doctor Night Watch had, and she was a cold woman.

However, no matter how capable she was, she was a woman after all. She had hardly been in any

relationships, and she had complicated feelings when thinking of Gerald.

She had been looking for Gerald during the three years he had been missing. When she found him and

found out that he was married, she was a little jealous.

And this time, after she knew that Gerald had gone on a blind date, she could not help but want to stop

him. She was worried that Gerald might get married again. Then… she chose to take the initiative to

call him.

She tried her best to keep her cool and offered to marry Gerald. In fact, after saying those words, she

couldn’t help but blush.

“Dr. Manning, what’s wrong? Why is your face so reddish?” suddenly, Macy walked out of the room and

asked curiously when she saw Valery.

Valery rarely blushed.

Valery was a little embarrassed and quickly explained, “It’s a bit hot.”

“Is it?” Macy tightened her clothes and said. “But I’m feeling a bit cold.”

Then Macy smiled and said, “I saw you on the phone earlier. Are you seeing someone? Is that why you

are shy? Alas, I guess Gerald will be sad for a while.”

“Are you done with your work?” Valery glared at Macy.

“I am on it!” Macy said with a smile. Then she turned around and walked to the ward. She muttered, “I

wonder

who gets to be so lucky…”

Meanwhile, after being excited for some time, Gerald took out his phone and clicked on Team 11762’s

group

chat. He caughed and typed: “found the group chat of 11762. He coughed and typed: “I have an

announcement to make! I have a girlfriend!”

“What’s going on?”

“The woman found out your identity and came back to offer to be together with you? And you said

yes?”

“Don’t do that, Gerald. She doesn’t deserve you.”

“Why don’t you go and ask Dr. Manning again? Maybe she will agree this time.”

Instantly, he received a lot of replies.

They kept sending messages in the group chat.

“I am his girlfriend. We’re together now, and we are about to get married.”

Without waiting for Gerald to speak, Valery texted.

Gerald was shocked for a second, and then he quickly typed: “Yes. Dr. Manning and I are together.”

In the next several seconds, no one in the group typed anything. After about two minutes, Theo typed:

“Congratulations!”

And everyone else did the same.

Then the group was in an uproar.

“When are you going to get married?”

“When?”

“When are you going to have a baby?”

“What is going to be the baby’s name?”

They began to discuss ceaselessly.

Gerald smiled as he looked at their discussion in the group.

He walked to a nearby step and sat down, smirking at his phone.

People came and went around him. Most of the passers-by would glance at him, paying a little bit extra

attention to him, a man wearing sunglasses, a mask, and a cap, and little did they know that the man in

front

of them was their hero, the deity-like Gerald Kenneth.

After watching the group chat for a while, Gerald called his family and said, “Hello, Mom.”

“What’s wrong? Your blind date is over so soon? How long has it been?” on the other end of the line,

Yazmin

said. “Don’t tell me that she is not up to your standard. She is beautiful and has a nice figure. Don’t be

so

picky.”

“It’s not like that. It is a matter of character. She brought a male friend over. I grabbed a few bites and

left

since she wasn’t my type,” Gerald said. “Of course, that was not the main reason. The thing is, I have a

girlfriend now.”

“Gerald, you found someone to trick your father and me again, right?” Yazmin said in a serious tone.

“Gerald, you really need to think about your father and me. What if… I mean, what if something

happens to you in the future? What should we do?”

Gerald coughed and said, “I’m not lying to you. I do have a girlfriend. Do you remember the doctor on

my team? Her name is Valery Manning. I think you might have seen her on TV before.”

Yazmin was stunned. “I do remember here. But I always have the feeling that you ask her to pretend to

be your girlfriend.”

“No! I’m serious,” Gerald said helplessly.

After he explained to Yazmin for a long time, she nodded and said, “Fine. I’ll give you the benefit of the

doubt. When are you going to get married?”

“Such things take time, right?” Gerald coughed and said. “Anyway, I’m not lying to you this time, and

you can rest assured. In some time, I shall bring her home to see you, and then we’ll find some time for

the elders of both families to meet. After that, we shall decide on our wedding.”

“Alright then. Then I’ll cancel your date tonight. OK?” Yazmin asked.

“Sure. Why would I go there now that I have a girlfriend? By the way, I won’t be home for dinner this

evening. She will come to Sacramento tonight. I’ll go and pick her up,” Gerald said.
