Chapter 88: California

"Dean, my sweetheart, the entire Price family will be proud of you!"

"Aunt Rachel, I'll call you when I get to California."

"Oh~ It's incredible, you really did it! Jerry, see? Dean is the best role model for you. I think it's necessary to limit your computer time, don't you agree?"
