From Sneers to Cheers: Anthea’s Ascent

Chapter 464

Janet glanced at Gerard, "How many days are you planning to stay?"

"About ten days," Gerard replied.

"Ten days? That's quite a while," Janet frowned.

Gerard continued, "Cloudcrest has lots of tourist spots worth visiting. Ten days isn't too long, Grandma, I know you're worried about me! But I'm not a kid anymore; I can take care of myself!"

Janet hesitated for a moment.

She feared Gerard might run into Carole in Cloudcrest, yet she also worried that if she refused him, he'd be filled with unnecessary thoughts.

It had been so many years; maybe Carole wasn't even in Cloudcrest anymore. And besides, they had never met each other-Gerard and his mother-so even if they did cross paths, they might not recognize one another.

Keeping Gerard from visiting Cloudcrest indefinitely wasn't a solution either.

Janet squinted slightly, a plan forming in her eyes. "Alright, you can go. I'll have the butler pack some things for you."

Then Janet added, "As for that George fellow, if you can cut ties, you should. He's not from our world."

Gerard's eyes flashed with displeasure, but he didn't show it. He only said, "Grandma, George scored second in the entrance exams for Capital City University."

Second place...

Even higher than Darleen.

Janet was momentarily speechless.
