Making 99
Gilmore did not expect that ire’s “brief visit wouldst until the night.
It did not take her long to be good friends with Everly, who had just returned from school. The
two of them chatted andughed as though they had known each other for a long time.
This puzzled Gilmore and Gerald. Do all girls be such good friends in less than an hour?
They were able to chat about everything from clothes to shoes, lipstick to nail polish, to what they
ate and wore today.
This was truly an eye–opener for Gilmore and Gerald.
ire, the pampered daughter of a rich family, even personally prepared a sumptuous dinner with
Everly.
When the food was served. Gilmore thought that it would be unptable.
However, the food turned out to be very tasty. It seemed that ire was unlike the typical rich girl.

Gilmore gave her a thumbs–up. “Not bad! Your cooking is better than I thought!”
“I didn’t prepare this myself. I did this with Everly. You should praise her too, ire said humbly.
Everly was Gilmore’s younger sister. ire said this so she could build a better rtionship with
Everly.
Once she became close friends with Everly, thetter’s brother would not be able to escape her
clutches.
“That’s right! You’re so biased, Gilmore. You’re only praising ire, not me.” Everly pouted and
feigned disappointment. Gilmore pinched her smooth and round nose. “You little girl, when have I
ever not taken your side? Of course I know you cook well
“But ire is a rich girl who can cook well. How can you think I’m biased forplimenting her?”
“Gilmore, you’re pinching my nose again. You’re always treating me like a kid.” Everly rubbed her
nose and grumbled. “So what? Aren’t you a kid? Or do you think you’re an adult now? You’re still
too young!” Gilmore pinched her nose again.
“I’m an adult, and I’m not a child, Everly said with a look of despair.
Seeing the siblings bicker, both Gerald and ireughed.
The dinner ended in a happy atmosphere.
ire and Everly washed the dishes and wiped the table clean together.
When everything was done, ire sat down on the sofa.
Then, she said to Gilmore, who was drinking water, “Gilmore, pour me a cup too.”
Gilmore looked at her. “Aren’t you going back?”
ire did not look eager to leave at all. She said, “It’s still early. I go backter.”
Everly also sat down on the sofa and said, “Gilmore, it’s not every day that ire visits our house. I
still have a lot to talk to
her about!
If Gilmore did not know that the two girls had just
each other more than an hour ago…
GOO
He would have thought that they were old friends.
The friendship between women was just that magical.
Gilmore yed the elder brother role and told Everly, “Go to your room and study.”
She had no choice but to agree reluctantly, “Okay,”
She turned to ire and said, “ire, I’ll go upstairs first.”
ire smiled. “Go ahead!”
Only then did Everly go upstairs.
?? ??
“Cough, rough, um, I’ll go take a shower, Gerald said. Staying in the living room now would just
make him the third wheel.
Without waiting for their reply, he went upstairs.
Gilmore shrugged, not knowing what Gerald was up to.
He continued drinking his tea and ying with his phone.
ire drank her tea while ncing at him from time to time.
“If you have something to say, just say it. Don’t keep looking at me. Gilmore said without looking up
from his phone.
ire did not expect him to know that she was pecking at him, but she immediately denied it. “Me?
Look at you? I’m just checking out your house decor! It’s not bad!“)
“Christine gave me this ce. The decor was her masterpiece,” Gilmore said.
“Gilmore, did you fall in love with Christine while pretending to be a couple with her?” ire asked,
testing him-
Gilmore did not answer. Instead, he looked straight at ire. “Did you fall in love with me because I
pretended to be your boyfriend?”
ire was stunned. She did not expect such a question from him.
She snapped back to reality. A faint blush appeared on her face, and then she said, “I don’t know
what you’re talking about. I’m going to check on Everly”
She walked up the stairs and disappeared in no time at all.
Gilmore wanted to stop her from disturbing Everly from studying, but she was already gone..
He gave up and continue ying with his phone.
It was almost nine at night. Gerald came downstairs and said, “Gomore, I’m going to Evermore
Diner to pick up your parents now. Do you want me to send Miss Carter back?”
Gilmore looked upstairs and sighed. “Forget it. I don’t think she’s leaving tonight. You can go
ahead!”
A meaningful smile appeared on Gerald’s face. “Oh, does this mean you’re going to have a
wonderful night with Miss Carter tonight?”
“Gerald, do I look like that kind of guy to you? I’m a gentleman. ire will be sleeping with Everly.
Gilmore looked at him with disdain.
Gerald was speechless..
GB
Gilmore, a gentleman?
Bah!
Gerald knew that Gilmore had feelings for Christine but also had his first love, Lilian Morales.
Sooner orter, ire would also be Gilmore’s woman.
“Fine, fine. I hope you keep your word, gentleman. I’m leaving,” Gerald said and left the vi.
After a while, the sound of a car came from outside as Gerald drove away.
Inside the vi, Gilmore sighed and said to himself, “Can’t me Gerald for not believing that I’m a
gentleman. Even I don’t believe that,”
However, no matter how beautiful ire was or how wonderful the night was, there was no way
anything was happening between them tonight.
That was because he had to meet someone elsewhere.
That someone was
s none o
other than Marlon.
He would be missing out on a golden opportunity if he did not go.
Gilmore looked upstairs. That was it between him and ire tonight.
He walked out of the vi, got in his Mercedes, and left.
