Chapter 212 Once they got in the car.
Agnes had been secretly watching Jaredâs expression.
Jared looked really wiped out All Agnes wanted to do was to cheer him up She said, âJared, Ryder got discharged from the hospital today. I cooked dinner myself.â
Hearing that name, Jared frowned, opened his eyes, his voice cold as ice, I knowâ
Agnes bit her lip gently. âI ordered a cake for Ryder. We can pick it up in a bit.â
Jaredâs fingers twitched slightly, his voice still icy, âAlright, After getting the cake, Agnes got back into the car all excited, telling Jared. The owner of the bakery also gave me a bouquet of lilies. Ryder was discharged from the hospital. Today is just the nght gift for him.â
âAgnes, you were too involved in that scene.â
Jared suddenly said.
Agnes was puzzled What shocked her was not what Jared said, but his expression.
His face was as cold as an ice sculpture, and his eyes, they were like icy daggers, radiating a cold glow.
Agnes, as if she didnât catch on for a moment, asked, âWhat did you say?â
A trace of mockery appeared on Jaredâs face, âRyder, Ryder, how many times do you need to say this name every day? Agnes, please recognize your identity. Heâs not Romeo and youâre not Juliet. Please show some self-awareness as my wife.â
Agnes didnât understand. It took her a while to finally catch on Disbelief filled Agnesâs eyes. âJared, what do you think I am?â
What was Jared implying?
He actually suspected her of having an affair with Ryder.
While Jared was away on a business trip, they would call each other every night.
Agnes did mention Ryder, but thatâs because heâs Jaredâs nephew, and someone he cares about a lot. Agnes was just updating Jared on Ryderâs health condition to put him at ease She didnât expect Jared to think this way.
Anger welled up in Agnes out of nowhere, on top of that, she felt it was incredibly ridiculous and absurd.
Her and Ryder, how could that even be possible?
But Agnes still tried to keep herself composed and explained, âI think you got the wrong idea. Ryder and I are just friends, plus, heâs your nephew. Iâve always seen him as my nephew too.â
Jaredâs fingers clenched tightly. He got a wrong idea?
What he saw with his own eyes could not be wrong.
Ryder was someone he watched grown up and he had been acting strange lately.
Jared knew that Agnes was innocent and probably didnât do it on purpose.
But he vented the frustration he had been holding back for days on her anyway.
Jared pinched the bridge of his nose, his voice extremely lined, âKeep your distance from him from now on. The Whitfield familyâs reputation is good, and I donât want it ruined because of you two.â
Agnes didnât respond But her heart ached as if it was being stabbed with a knife The Whitfield familyâs reputation canât be ruined because of the two of them?
Has Jared already concluded that theyâre having an affair?
Agnes remembered when she was framed by Jenny, and everyone misunderstood her only Jared trusted her unconditionally -But now The car smoothly pulled up to the Whitfield Manor Jared and Agnes got out of the car The lights of the Whitfield Manor were still shining bright Yet Agnes suddenly felt a chill
