Slumdog Billionaire Husband by Rayden Berg

Chapter 302 Return

Milford’s arrival was just an episode. Valery entered the banquet hall, and Gerald didn’t follow her. It

was indeed a bit noisy inside, so he wanted to stay outside for a while longer.

He had some expectations in his heart as Claude, Theo, and the others were coming.

The five people in Team 11762 who were still alive would be all present. If Valery was included, there

would be six!

An elite team should be formed by 12 people in total.

Before the start of the war, Gerald planned to gather 12 members.

Because of Gerald, Carolyn, and the others, the team they were in could only be an elite team.

Now, Erik could barely keep up with them, and Jacob played a more and more important role.

Gerald knew Jacob well. Jacob was quick–witted, and Zackary said that he would train Jacob to be an

adviser. If so, Jacob’s combat strength would not be the most important thing.

Whether Zackary’s plan could work depended on Jacob’s advancement.

Audrey and Hazel were a little falling behind, so Gerald sent them to the Night Watch. Hazel was

strong enough, and Audrey took the initiative to join.

If the war started, Gerald would not allow two girls to fight on the battlefield.

Just as Gerald was thinking, someone poked him with a finger.

Gerald turned around and saw Leila standing behind him with a red face.

Her hair was still tied up in a ponytail, and she seemed to have drunk some wine.

Leila had never paid attention to her hairstyle or been to a hairstylist.

Her hair was usually long. In the town, there were vendors who specialized in collecting hair, which

could be used as a wig. Leila would sell her hair to them for a bit of money to support her family.

“Gerald, can I sit next to you?” Although she had eased her guard against Gerald, Leila was still a little

shy and self–abased.

During the past few days, Gerald found that Leila always lowered her head.

She was beautiful, yet she didn’t like others‘ attention to her. This was a typical performance for a self–

abased person.

“Of course. Don’t be so reserved,” Gerald said with a frown.

The school he arranged for Leila would be an outstanding one, where there would be many students

from rich families. Leila might feel even more inferior there and even dare not talk to others. Gerald

planned to find a way to cultivate her self–confidence.

He thought, what a beautiful girl she is! But why is she feeling inferior?

Leila sat next to Gerald, and her face was still red. After a while, she pursed her lips and said, “Gerald,

the Night Watch you mentioned before…”

“How is it? They are handsome, right?” Gerald smiled, “I used to be much more handsome than them.

With the two sabers on my back, I was known as the most handsome guy in the Night Watch.”

Anyway, bragging was free, so Gerald didn’t restrain himself.

Leila was amused by Gerald. She shook her head and said, “I don’t believe it. I saw several people

with better figures that day.”

“They are all sissy. Maybe they have a better figure than me, but they lack a bit of masculinity,”

Gerald said without blushing.

Hearing Gerald’s words, Leila giggled. Suddenly, she said, “I want to join the Night Watch after I

graduate.”

After that, she tilted her head and looked at Gerald with yearning in her eyes.

Gerald was stunned.

Leila might not even know what the Night Watch was doing, but she actually wanted to join it. It was

probably because she was shocked to see a large group of people wearing black uniforms and carrying

double sabers on their backs that day.

Gerald rubbed Leila’s head and said, “It’s better to study properly first! We can talk about it later!”

“OK!” A hint of disappointment appeared on Leila’s face.

Gerald began to brag again. Leila’s disappointed looked disappeared in an instant and turned into a

smile.

After lunch, not many people were willing to leave. For Wesley’s relatives, this was the first time they

had come to such a high–end hotel, so they wanted to stay for a while longer. Wesley told them that

they could rest there at night or soak in hot springs. Therefore, many of them were looking

forward to it.

Gerald didn’t care too much. After lunch, he returned to the room with Valery.

People living in the same town would be somewhat familiar with each other, and Camilla knew most of

Wesley’s relatives. Moreover, as a doctor, she was famous in the town.

With the help of Camilla, even if Wesley was drunk, he was still able to maintain order.

Gerald didn’t know how they had spent the night. Early in the next morning, at the entrance of the hotel,

Wesley and Leila were sending the guests off one by one.

Wesley’s relatives and friends had complicated feelings.

Some of them wished sincerely that Wesley could live a good life from now on, and some of them

were envious.

They struggled for a lifetime, yet they were unable to leave the town, let alone live in a big city like

Washington.

Some were jealous….

And some wanted to ask Wesley to help them find a job…

Wesley’s relatives and friends had different attitudes toward the change in him.

Gerald was clear that people were not always the same. Wesley had lived in the town for almost half

his life as an ordinary person, and he couldn’t part with his relatives.

Gerald could guess that in the future, many people would go to Washington and ask Wesley for help.

Wesley had to balance it himself. Gerald could improve Wesley’s living environment, but he

couldn’t make decisions for Wesley.

After sending off his relatives, Wesley put on a smile.

Sure enough, in the snobbish world, everyone hoped to live with their heads high.

Wesley was the same.

“Let’s go. We’re going to Washington,” Gerald said with a smile.

Wesley nodded.

They put all their luggage in the trunk. Valery got into the car and drove. After more than two hours,

they arrived at the house in Washington where Gerald and Valery lived.

Gerald intended to leave this house to Leila and her father. He didn’t send them a villa as it might be

too sudden.

The house was enough for two people to live in. Wesley had to work, so Gerald planned to arrange an

idle management position in Wisdom for him, just like Gerald’s father. This way, they didn’t need to

work hard but could get a salary as usual:

Leila was both curious and reserved. She had been to Washington once because she had to

participate in a competition. At that time, it was her school that paid for her travel.

Without money, she didn’t even go out for a stroll. She stayed in the hotel for two days and then

went back.

Looking at the well–decorated place, her eyes lit up.

Gerald rubbed Leila’s head and said to Wesley, “Wesley, you and Leila will live here. Valery and I will

stay here for a period of time. After that, we will leave. As for the house, I have gotten someone to

transfer it to you. From now on, this will be your home!”

Wesley’s eyes turned a little wet.

Gerald noticed it and said hurriedly, “In addition, you can cook by yourselves. This is the key. Take Leila

around and familiarize yourself with the surroundings. I have something to do with Valery, and we’ll go

out for a while.”

Gerald was going to meet his teammates.
