Chapter 743

"Hello? Alexa, what's the matter?" Gerald lowered his voice, speaking softly. "They still haven't left. I think I'll be stuck here with them for a while before I can head back." "Then, have you eaten yet?" Alexa asked, her tone carrying a hint of anger she didn't even realize. Gerald couldn't help but smile when he felt her concern. "No, I haven't eaten yet. I'll grab something after they leave. Why do you ask?" Hearing this, Alexa frowned and snapped, "Gerald, do you even realize how bad your stomach is? If you skip meals and your gastritis acts up, what then?" She sounded almost like a scolding girlfriend. Gerald's smile grew even wider, but his voice stayed calm as ever. "I'll eat once they leave. Don't worry about it. If my stomach really acts up, I can take some painkillers. It's not a big deal. "Anyway, I haven't forgotten what I promised you. If you're calling me because of your dad, you can rest easy. I'll definitely go with you to the Peterson residence by ten tonight.
