Chapter 1453: Chapter 1452: Gerry Peary Didn’t Protect That Little Bear

Listening to Alan Morgan’s mother’s words, Shirley Grant was a bit taken aback.

Was she asking her to come back for dinner too?

"No need."

While Shirley Grant was still in a daze, Alan Morgan had already declined.

"I’ve severed ties with the Morgan Family. I will eat out with my wife and son."

His words were very blunt.

Upon hearing this, Alan’s father immediately blew his beard and glared.

"Look at what you’re saying!"

Between father and son, is there a grudge that lasts overnight?

Talking about severing ties, is the familial relationship that comes with being in this academy something that can be casually broken?

Looking at Alan, his father was very displeased.

However, after Alan finished speaking, he didn’t even glance at his father.

In his eyes, there was only Shirley Grant and Gerry Peary.

Gerry seemed to sense that there was something amiss between the adults, so he remained silent, sitting there quietly.

Shirley Grant went to pack up the things, and occasionally Gerry would help by handing over an item.

"Mom, Grandma bought me this little bear, I really like it, can I bring it with me?"

Gerry sat there hesitating for a long time, unable to part with the brown little bear.

"Does Gerry really like this little bear?"

Shirley Grant asked, puzzled.

"What kind of question is this? Just because I bought the bear, doesn’t mean it can’t be liked?"

Upon hearing Shirley Grant’s question, Alan’s mother immediately became unhappy.

"I didn’t mean that, don’t frighten the child."

Shirley Grant frowned, lowered her head, and continued to look at Gerry tenderly.

"Mom remembers Gerry liking some racing puzzles and the sort. How come you suddenly like this brown little bear?"

Without hearing any objections from his mom, Gerry was instantly relieved.

"Before we moved, the landlord aunt’s sister came to our house and liked the little bear mom cherished, and insisted on taking it. Gerry didn’t allow it and kept crying until the landlord aunt simply threw mom twenty USD, and then left with her sister and the bear."

Shirley Grant was taken aback, not expecting Gerry to remember that incident.

Alan Morgan, hearing this, felt a pang in his heart. How foolish must he have been to let Shirley Grant go through those things?

At that time, the twenty USD must have been a humiliation to her.

Alan’s parents also looked stunned at these words, their brows instantly furrowing. Clearly, no matter how they looked down on Shirley Grant, upon knowing others treated her so lightly, they weren’t happy.

"At that time, mom told me that as the elder brother, I should allow my sister to have what she liked. It’s no big deal."

Gerry’s little face was full of earnestness.

"But Gerry actually didn’t like that little bear."

As Gerry said this, his tears began to fall again.

Every time he thought about that little bear, he wanted to cry, feeling that he was too useless.

If he hadn’t been sick, mom’s life wouldn’t have been that tight, wouldn’t be bullied.

Watching Gerry’s tears fall, Shirley Grant melted inside, immediately reaching out to wipe his tears.

"Look at yourself, so recently you were saying you’re a little man, how come you’re crying now, huh?"

Shirley Grant tried hard to suppress her tears, her eyes red as she comforted Gerry.

Unexpectedly, no matter how she wiped, Gerry’s tears wouldn’t stop, just kept falling.

"Don’t cry, didn’t you just say it yourself? You really don’t like that little bear."
