Orson didn't give a hoot whether Mr. Hetfield was in a foul mood or not.
Seeing everyone was aboard, Orson floored it, zooming off at breakneck speed.
It was a good hour’s drive from Hetfield's Homestead to Rosefrost University. Norbert insisted they drive Morwenna to school early for registration.
Stuart stood at the front door, looking like a man left behind, his face a picture of gloom.
Meanwhile, with a brooding expression, Claude was perched up in the attic, telescope in hand, watching Morwenna depart from afar.
Morwenna's phone chimed twice when she had just set off in the car. Pulling it out, she saw two texts.
Stuart texted, [I’ll visit you in a few days.]
Claude sent her a message. [Ms. Winslet, I’ll be waiting for your return.]
Suddenly, Morwenna felt overwhelmed.
Stuart said he was coming to visit her, heh? But how? To the campus? To her dorm?
With so many people around campus, what if they were seen?
Morwenna wrestled with herself for some time and decided to reply to Claude first. [Focus on your studies. I'll come back to see and tutor you during my break.]
Up in the attic, Claude's sullen face brightened considerably.
Trapped in his cage, he couldn't stop Morwenna from leaving, and he couldn't follow her. He could only hope for her return.
After replying to Claude, Morwenna stared at her phone, at a loss for how to respond to Stuart.
If she agrees to his visit, it might cause a scene, but if she doesn’t, it's sure to upset Stuart.
As Morwenna was pondering, Norbert suddenly asked, “By the way, Wenna, what major are you studying?”
Quickly tucking away her phone, Morwenna replied, “I’m studying journalism.”
