Chapter 334 Agnes was feeling super awkward.
Ryder showed up and she hadnât noticed him at all.
Getting up, Agnes resettled herself on the swing. âWhat brings you here?â
âJust took Oscar out for a walk and we just got back. Oscar likes to play in the backyard after a walk. By the way, youâre sitting on Oscarâs swing now,â Ryder said. Agnes quickly got up, and Ryderâs smirk became even more pronounced.
Only then did Agnes realize that Ryder was just joking.
Golden retrievers donât swing, so Agnes shot Ryder a glare.
Ryder came over, sat down on the stone bench under the locust tree, and while grooming Oscar, he asked, âWhy are you sitting here all mopey? Whereâs Jared?â âHeâs chatting with your mom. I just came out for some fresh air.â
Then came a long stretch of silence In the past, when Agnes and Ryder were together, she would always yak on and on while Ryder just listened, occasionally asking a question or two.
They had gotten close from rehearsing and performing in plays together.
But ever since she found out Ryder had feelings for her, Agnes felt like she couldnât chat as freely as before.
Agnes didnât speak and Ryder was silent, which made her feel even more embarrassed. Just as Agnes was about to leave, Ryder suddenly said, âTm moving out soon.â
Curiosity piqued, Agnes asked, âAre you moving out of the Whitfield Manor? To where?â
âIâm interning at the Tranquil Care Hospital now, so I rented an apartment at the Lotus Residence nearby.â
Agnes nodded, âYouâve told me that your dream is to become an excellent neurosurgeon. Congratulations. Youâre getting there.â
âItâs still early days. I still need clinical experience and practice. But I wonât give up.â
Agnes encouraged him, âKeep going, youâll make it.â
âAnd you, you once told me you wanted to be a reporterâ
Agnesâs eyes dimmed a bit.
Yes, her dream was to become a reporter, to expose the dark side of society, to help those on the edge of despair, to fight against the worldâs injustices using the power of media That was her dream. But now, she was stuck in the whirlpool of the entertainment industry for money.
Even though she didnât hate this industry, it still had nothing to do with her dream.
Agnes gave a wry smile, âIf thereâs a chance in the future, Iâll still pursue my career dream.â
âWhat dream?â
Jaredâs voice came from not far away.
Walking over with a smile, Jared asked, âHow come Iâve never heard about your career dream?â
Agnes replied, âBecause I want to do it on my own. If I told you, youâd arrange everything for me in a heartbeat. Whereâs the fun in that?â
Jared ruffled Agnesâs hair, âSo what is your career dream?â
âYou guess, Iâm not telling youâ
Ryder had already stood up. Sensibly, he said, âJared, Iâm heading back to my room now.â
With that, he left with Oscar Jaredâs face turned cloudy. âWhy canât you share your dreams with me? Why only with Ryder?â
Agnes glanced at Jared, âAre you jealous?â
âYouâre here appreciating the night scene, discussing life goals. Of course Iâm jealous!
Jared was jealous like a kid His expression seemed to say, Tm not happy, so come comfort
