Chapter 768 A Gift for You
“This is my brother-in-law, Gerald Kenneth,” 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.
“Damn, it really is Gerald.”
“Gerald, can we take a picture together?”
“Can I have your autograph?”
In the discussion, Colten was calm. He clapped his hands and said, “Guys, don’t be anxious. Line up.
You can
take photos with him and have his autograph. We are in a clinic and please be quiet…”
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, “Dad.”
Colten’s father was called Julien. He glared at Colten and said, “How dare you.”
Colten felt guilty.
Fortunately, Julien did not think too much. He looked at Gerald and said, “This is your first time coming
to my
house. I’m so sorry for what happened. Although my son is not young anymore, he is still childish. Do
not
take it to heart.”

“I still have things to do here. Valery, take Gerald upstairs, then, do you want to come down and show
cooking skills?” Julien looked at Valery and asked.
“Sure,” said Valery with a smile.
The group of people helped move things. Julien frowned and said, “Why is there so much?”
“Just some small gifts Gerald restrained the nervousness in his heart.
Julien was Valery’s uncle. Although Gerald calmed down a lot after the ruckus just now, he was still a
little
nervous.
“You can just come here without bringing anything.” Julien frowned.
“The gifts have been bought anyway. We’ll carry them upstairs, Valery said.
“Alright. Then I’ll go get busy.” 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, “Sit
here for a while. You can watch TV and play games on your phone. I will go down to help my uncle.”
Colten looked at Gerald reluctantly, then coughed and said, ‘I’ll go down to help as well. Make yourself
at
home and do as you please.
Gerald nodded and said, “No problem.”
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 Colten’s 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, “Are you Valery’s boyfriend?”
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, “Yes, you are Ciara, right?”
“You know my name?” The girl asked happily.
Gerald nodded. “Yes, Valery told me about it.”
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. “Are these gifts
you brought for us? Did you bring any for me?”
“Of course.” Gerald walked over and carried one of the boxes over. He placed it on the table and said,
“This 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.
“Open it and take a look,” 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.
“Do you like it?” Gerald smiled and asked, “Aren’t 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…”
“Like my ass!” Ciara glared at Gerald. “You want me to die!”
After saying that, she thought of something and took out her phone. “Let’s take a photo.”
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 Valery’s idea. Gerald thought it was fun, so he
agreed.
The effect looked good. He smiled and relaxed a lot. He felt that Valery’s uncle’s 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

was in her house.
Then, those girls began to discuss crazily in group chat,
Some wanted Gerald’s autograph and some wanted to come to her house.
Ciara was very happy.
Around seven o’clock 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, “Sorry to keep you waiting.”
“It’s fine. Are you all done with your work?” Gerald stood up, still a little reserved.
“Yes, Julien said with a smile. Then he shouted into the room, “Ciara, your classmates are looking for
you.
They are downstairs.”
Clara ran out of the room and rushed downstairs.
Julien smiled. ‘She’s still so reckless.”
“I wanted to cook for you, but it’s too late. Let’s eat out. I’ll go change my clothes,” Julien said with a
smile.
“Okay, 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.
“Why are you looking at me like this?” Gerald asked.
“It’s rare to see you like this. I find it interesting.” After that, Valery said, “How is it? My uncle’s family is
quite interesting, right?”
“Yeah. They’re easy to get along with,” 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.
“Did you show Ciara the exercise books?” Valery asked.
“Yes, she asked me for a present just now, so I showed them to her. You have no idea what she looked
like,”
Gerald said happily.
While they were talking, Colten and Julien changed their clothes and walked out. They looked at
Gerald and
said, “Let’s go.”
