Chapter 455 He Has No Desire Anymore
Gerald felt deeply wronged; this was what they called collateral damage. Despite not doing or saying anything, he still ended up getting scolded.
But it was much better now than before. Back then, Ulysses was just a child, and Nicole worried he might miss out on motherly affection. She also wanted someone to be there for Gerald, so she practically pushed him to get married every day, arranging all sorts of blind dates for him. In the end, when it was clear that Gerald wasn’t interested, she had no other choice but to relent.
Furthermore, Ulysses had grown up so much that finding a stepmother would have been psychologically hard for him to accept. Since he was in his rebellious teenage years, it would probably have been counterproductive. As a result, Nicole hadn't mentioned the topic in recent years.
Today, for some reason, she remembered and scolded Gerald again.
Gerald asked her, "Mom, aren't you afraid Ulysses will rebel?"
Nicole said, "At worst, you two can move out. Ulysses can stay with me. Anyway, Josephine is also here, so Ulysses will always have someone to look after him."
Gerald couldn't help but laugh and cry, "I move out? Are you really willing to let me go?"
Nicole sighed, "I just think you should have another child while you're still young."
Gerald didn't expect she had this idea, "Have another child? Mom, you really... how could you think of that?"
Nicole said, "Look at our family. Your brother hasn't settled down yet. You only have Ulysses, and Josephine only has Jeffery. There are too few people."
Gerald said, "Then you can let Josephine remarry Stuart sooner. I'm sure Stuart would be willing to have more kids."
"That also depends on whether Josephine is willing!"
"Exactly, Mom, you say these things, but I have to be willing too!"
"What are you hesitant about?" Nicole glared at him. "In a few more years, you won't be able to have kids even if you want to!"
Gerald said helplessly, "That's not necessarily true."
"How is it not true," Nicole rolled her eyes, "You're already so old, your sperm quality isn't good anymore."
Gerald quickly said, "Mom, I have a meeting, I have to go."
After saying that, he left in a hurry.
Gerald thought, Nicole was too scary. Now she was even discussing sperm quality with him.
But, do men really experience a decline in sperm quality at his age?
But he felt quite energetic every morning.
He hadn't had any practical experience for a long, long time, so he couldn't really evaluate his own ability. Forget it, why think about this? Anyway, he didn't plan on having kids. Not to mention having another child, he hadn't even thought about finding a girlfriend.
Previously, an old boss had wanted to introduce him to a girlfriend. Seeing him busy with work all day, the boss had angrily said he might as well marry his work. Gerald thought, that wasn't a bad idea.
He didn't seem to have much feeling for women. At his position, there were too many people flattering him.
Besides, he managed the economy. Previously, many CEOs of big companies had directly offered him money and women, but Gerald naturally wouldn't accept. He didn't lack money. Although Nicole seemed like a gentle and weak old lady, she had been very good at business when she was young. The family had more money than they could spend.
Gerald had also seen many truly beautiful women. He didn't know where those people had found them, but they were really beautiful. He thought Josephine was already very good-looking, but the ones they sent him were even more beautiful than Josephine. However, their features looked like they had undergone plastic surgery.
Gerald was never someone who indulged in women. He could appreciate a woman's beauty, but he wouldn't accept such bribes for work.
It wasn't that he looked down on such women; everyone had their own aspirations. He just felt that such people didn't arouse any desire in him.
Thinking about this, Gerald felt a bit uneasy. Could it be that he was not capable anymore?
Although he felt quite energetic in the mornings and occasionally took care of his own needs, he really hadn't felt any desire for any woman.This thought flashed through his mind, and then he got busy with work and didn't think about it anymore. However, he didn't expect to be tested again so soon.
He went on a business trip to another city, and the hotel he stayed in was arranged by the staff. It wasn't any luxurious or high-end star hotel.
Just a standard one, even for someone of his level, he enjoyed the same treatment as his subordinates.
After finally finishing the meeting in the evening and returning to the hotel, his door was knocked on.
He was about to take a shower, had just taken off his jacket, and was pulling his tie when he opened the door.
He thought it was hotel staff, but when he opened the door, he saw a girl.
The person standing outside looked like she wasn't even twenty, like a college student.
Gerald immediately frowned, "Who are you..."
The girl was wearing a white dress. If it were other young people here, they might have noticed she was going for a pure and innocent look.
The girl smiled sweetly, "Mr. Clarence, I'm the assistant to the president of the company here. I have some documents to deliver to you."
"What documents?" Gerald's frown relaxed a bit, but he didn't intend to let her in, "Just give them to me."
The girl indeed had a folder in her arms. She looked inside, her actions quite cute.
She said, "Mr. Clarence, can I use your bathroom?"
She blinked at Gerald, looking very innocent and pure.
Gerald kept a straight face, "I remember there's a public bathroom at the end of the hallway. Give me the documents, and you can go."
The girl obviously didn't expect Gerald to say that. In fact, before coming, someone had told her that Gerald didn't like this kind of approach.
But she was very confident in herself, not to mention her beautiful appearance, gentle temperament, and sexy figure, which were all weapons for men.
As long as she made a little expression and action in front of them, they would all surrender. Gerald was the first one to keep a straight face.
She didn't get discouraged and continued, "But there are some details in the documents that I need to report to you separately. Mr. Clarence, please let me in."
She even reached out and tugged at Gerald's sleeve, as if acting coquettishly.
Gerald quickly pulled his hand back and closed the door a bit more, "You can discuss these things with my assistant. He lives in the next room."
After saying that, Gerald slammed the door shut.
It was quiet outside for a few seconds, then there was knocking again.
Gerald, annoyed, directly called his assistant, and finally, it was quiet.
While taking a shower, Gerald recalled what had just happened and realized that he really didn't feel anything for the girl.
As a man, he naturally noticed how good the girl's figure was.
Not that he was deliberately looking, just something one notice in normal eye contact. But he felt nothing!
Gerald looked down and sighed. Forget it, it was not like he needed it anyway.
