From Sneers to Cheers: Anthea’s Ascent (Anthea )



Back in the day, George had no clue where his mother was. It was understandable that he felt lost.

Now that he knew she was in Cloudcrest, he had to go. No matter what.

Until he found her.

George hesitated before speaking, "Gerard, just what if, and I'm saying what if, your mom has settled down in Cloudcrest, maybe got married, had kids, and made herself a new family? What then?"

It wasn't the first time George had brought this up.

"I'll just take a look from afar, won't disturb them," Gerard replied, sticking to his usual answer.

Kearney frowned, "So, you're saying, even if you know your mom has moved on, you'd still go?"

"Yeah," Gerard nodded.

He didn't expect his mother to have waited for him all these years.

That wasn't realistic.

After all, people have their needs and desires.

Just a glimpse of his mother would satisfy him.

Healy patted Gerard on the shoulder, "Don't worry, Gerard. I believe you'll find your aunt."

"Yeah, we believe it too," George and Kearney chimed in.

Gerard didn't linger on the topic, turning his attention to the motorcycle beside him, "How about a race?" "Sure!" George immediately stood up, grabbing the helmet hanging on the bike and putting it on.

Soon, the mountain road was alive with the roar of four motorcycles.

The sound thundered through the wilderness.

A chase ensued.

High-risk stunts were performed one after another.

No one wanted to be outdone.

But clearly, the blue motorcycle had an edge!

This adrenaline rush made Gerard forget all his troubles for a moment.

After a while, the motorcycles gradually slowed down.

Kearney took off his helmet, turning his head, "Gerard, George, Healy, I heard Capital City is hosting the CSBK motorcycle championship in October. How about we sign up?"

"Really?" George asked.

"Of course, it's true!" Kearney continued, "My cousin told me himself, can't be wrong!"

Kearney's cousin was also a motorcycle enthusiast.

George said, "A spot in the top three at CSBK comes with a prize, I'm signing up."

"I'm in too!" Healy followed.

"And you, Gerard?" Kearney looked at him.

Gerard, sitting on his blue

motorcycle, one foot on the ground, holding his helmet, was the epitome

Othful vigor.

He looked cool.

"Count me in."

Kearney nodded, "Great! We'll all go together!"

Later, around 5 PM, Gerard returned home.

Edna was standing at the door, seemingly waiting for him.

Gerard frowned slightly, planning to walk past Edna.

But suddenly, Edna stepped in front of Gerard, "Gerry, I want to talk to you."

"I have nothing to talk about with you," Gerard said, frowning.

He really didn't like Edna.

Never had.novelbin

Even found her repulsive.

Edna played the part of a lovestruck woman, waiting years for Jonah Lindsay, all for the power and

prestige of the Lindsay family el

If Jonah had been penniless, would Edna still be 'in love'?

Such low standards could only deceive J!

"It's about your mother," Edna continued.

Hearing this, Gerard paused.

Edna knew she had hit a nerve, "Let's talk over there."

With that, Edna walked towards the garden.

Gerard followed.

Edna sat down at a stone table in the garden.

"Gerry, have a seat."

Gerard reluctantly sat down.

Edna looked at Gerard and sighed, "Gerry, I know you've never liked me, thinking I'm here to take your dad away..."

She was cut off mid-sentence by Gerard.

"Isn't that the case?" Gerard looked up, his eyes filled with sarcasm.

Edna was taken aback by Gerard's bluntness.

But Gerard was just a 19-year-old kid.

No matter how mature he seemed, he couldn't outplay her.

She was waiting for the day Gerard would willingly call her mom!

With that thought, Edna felt a bit better, continuing, "Gerry, you've got it all wrong. Initially, I was your dad's fiancée. Wè were childhood sweethearts, meant to be, until your mother came along, disrupted the

dad

peace, and tore me and yould be

apart! If it wasn't for her, would be your dad's wife by now!"
