From Sneers to Cheers: Anthea’s Ascent (Anthea ) novel Chapter 358

At this hour, Gerard is still out there, thinking about fun and games. No wonder he can't hold a candle to Darleen. He's a lost cause!

"Go ahead," Janet said tenderly, nodding her approval.

"Meow." A cat suddenly darted out from a corner, following Gerard's steps.

"Go back," Gerard stopped and turned.

Simba, instead of going back, ran over and rubbed against Gerard's leg.

Gerard frowned slightly, bent down with a look of disgust, and picked up Simba to take him outside.

The butler, witnessing this scene, couldn't help but curl his lips into a smile. Young Master Gerard, cold on the outside, warm on the inside. Though he always talked about getting rid of that cat, it was clear he had a soft spot for it.

Edna brought out a nourishing soup for Janet with a smile.

Janet looked apologetically at Edna, "Edna, Gerry's got the wrong idea about you. Don't hold it against him."

"Janet, listen to you talk. I've always treated Gerry as my own. How could I possibly be mad at him?" Edna replied, then added, "Besides, that was my responsibility..."

At this, Edna's face showed a hint of guilt.

"It's not your fault!" Janet reassured her, patting her hand. "You meant well! Don't you ever say that again!"

Edna then took out a beautifully wrapped gift box, "Oh Janet, the SATs are just around the corner. I've prepared this gift specially for Gerry. You know he's not very fond of me, so please, could you give this to him? And don't tell him it's from me."

"You've gone through a lot, Edna."

"It's nothing," Edna replied with a smile.
