They both started to get up and dress.
Not long after, the doorbell rang again.
Agnes went to answer the door, and there stood Beatrice.
Agnes asked, âWhat brings you here this early?â
Beatrice was busy peeping into the room.
Upon seeing Jared, she said, âYouâre up already. My mom wants you to come over for breakfast, she made soup herself.â
By then, Jared had made his way to the door.
He casually asked Agnes, âCan you check this button for me? It wonât button up.â
Agnes tumed around.
Jaredâs shirt was on, except for the collar button.
Agnes turned back to help Jared button up, and it was done in no time.
But Jared grabbed Agnes hand and kissed it gently. âThanks, honeyâ
Seeing this, Beatriceâs face darkened.
Jared then acted like he just noticed her, his voice instantly cold, âGot it. Weâll be right over.â
Beatrice forced a smile, âIâll be going then. Hurry up.â
She left, clenching her fists.
She had initially come to witness their meltdown.
3 She thought the two would quarrel over Elton, but how come their relationship seemed even better after a night?
And Jaredâs gaze seemed to linger on Agnes all the time.
He didnât even look at her from start to finish Beatrice was fuming She couldnât help but storm into the kitchen.
She said to Laura, âI canât stand it anymore. Didnât you say theyâd be divorced within a year? Why are they still together?â
Laura glanced at the door and glared at Beatrice, âWatch your mouth. What if someone heard?â
Beatrice was exasperated, âSeeing them so intimate imitates me. Why would someone as outstanding as Jared fall for an ordinary woman like Agnes? Iâm younger and prettier than Agnes Why wonât he even glance at me?â
Laura spoke calmly, âMen need variety sometimes. He might be tired of the same type of women. If he likes Agnesâ type, you need to act more graceful and innocent in front of him. Look at you now, canât even hold it in. How are you going to replace Agnes and become Jaredâs wife?â
The mention of Jaredâs wife excited Beatrice immensely.
Beatrice tugged at Lauraâs arm, âMom, tell me, whatâs your plan? I donât want to wait anymore. Help me, mom .
4 âAlright, calm down. Donât worry, Agnesâ birthday is coming I need to confirm something. Itâs a great opportunity! At breakfast Laura said, âAgnes, your birthday is coming. Your dad and I discussed, we didnât celebrate your 20th birthday properly last year, so we want to make it up to you this year Your dad has booked a floor at Caesar International Hospital, Weâre going to throw you a proper party. Weâll invite all your friends and classmates, including Jared. You can let his family know. We hope they can make itâ
Jared responded, âOf course, Iâll be there.â
Actually, Agnes never thought about having a big party.
But Laura and Preston didnât discuss with her and sent out all the invitations They even invited all the big shots.
In the past, these people might not necessanly show But this time, no one was missing.
