From Sneers to Cheers: Anthea’s Ascent (Anthea ) novel Chapter 289

"Don't worry, I promise I’ll be there."

Karen flashed a smile. "I'm over at 2 Sunnybrook Estate. Annie, don't forget to swing by early tomorrow, okay? Give me a ring when you're close! Never mind, I'll just call you!"

Annie was well-aware of Sunnybrook Estate, the ritzy neighborhood of Cloudcrest.

To say that the real estate there was worth its weight in gold would be an understatement.

Karen must be rolling in dough to live in a place like that!

After spending an afternoon at the Yeagers', and triple-checking that Annie would show up as promised, Karen reluctantly left their home.

Annie walked her to the entrance of the complex.

The Christensen family's car was already parked curbside, with Baber, the driver, at the wheel.

As Karen settled into the car, her grin didn't fade. Leaning back, she asked, "Baber, you been working your tail off driving lately?"

Baber blinked, a strange sense of déjà vu washing over him.

Karen had only struck up a conversation with him twice before.

The first time was to boast about her beautiful granddaughter-in-law.

The second was to brag about being the coolest granny in Luxphinia.

He wondered what she was going to show off about this time.

Poor guy couldn't catch a break!

"Thanks for asking, ma'am, but I'm managing just fine."

Karen went on, "So… have you gotten yourself a girlfriend yet?"

"Nope." Baber shook his head.

Karen frowned. "Last year, you were flying solo, and here we are, another year gone and you're still a lone wolf?"

Baber was speechless. That stung! It took him a moment, but he finally mustered, "Ma'am, you sure are hip, knowing all about 'lone wolves' and all."

Karen was closing in on 90.
