Chapter 505 Out of all the people in the world, why did Nocturne have to bump into Jared?
Agnes couldnât shake the feeling that fate was messing with them. The father and son were destined to meet.
âMom, are you okay? Are you sick?â
Nocturne asked, reaching out his little hand to touch Agnesâ forehead.
Agnes forced a smile, âIâm fine, sweetie. Just glad youâre back.â
They had dinner together.
Not long after, Nocturne was out like a light.
Agnes tucked him in and headed to Reggieâs study For years, Reggie had been living in Willowbrook Town.
He spent most of his time gardening, running a fast food joint occasionally just to kill time.
Since moving to Manhattan, Agnes hadnât seen much of him.
However, Reggie was very fond of children and had a special fondness for Nocturne.
So every year, Agnes would send Nocturne to spend some time with Reggie in Willowbrook Town.
Agnes came to the door of the study.
She found the door ajar and gave a courtesy knock Reggie was practicing calligraphy Looking up, he noticed Agnes at the door.
âWhatâs up, girl? You need something?â Reggie Albert asked.
âAlbert, I need a favor,â Agnes said as she walked in.
âSpit it out, no need to be polite to me, Reggie put down his brush, 1 want you to take Nocturne back to Willowbrook Town for a while,â Agnes came straight to the point.
Reggie replied, âIâd be more than happy to, but youâve gotta tell me, is something going on?â
Reggie never pried into Agnesâ private life.
Even when he had taken her away, he didnât ask too many questions.
Although Agnes regarded him as an elder, it was still hard to imagine him as the boss of the underworld. Because Reggie didnât bring anything from there into her life.
Their meetings were always casual, like a normal family catch-up But this time, he was asking about her situation.
âAlbert, I can handle my own problems,â Agnes shook her head.
Reggie nodded, âA lot of problems, especially emotional ones, can only be solved by yourself. Whatever decision you make, donât look back in regret. If you ever come across something you canât handle, come to me. Iâve always got your back, for you and Nocâ
Agnes felt a lump in her throat.
Reggie was like a real father to her The fatherâs love that she had lost for so many years seemed to have been made up from him all at once.
Agnes couldnât imagine where she would be without him Reggie took Nocturne away.
Agnes felt a little more at ease.
She did this to prevent Jared and Nocturne from crossing paths again.
Jared was in Manhattan now, and Agnes wasnât comfortable with that Sometimes, standing by the floor-to-ceiling windows of her apartment, looking at the city lights.
Agnes always remembered Jaredâs face in the sunset that evening He hadnât changed a bit.
Agnes wasnât sure how long Jared would stay in Manhattan.
But the city was huge, and the hadrit run into Jared again. Her life had returned to its peaceful pace Agnes viewed her encounter with Jared as a minor hiccup Like a stone thrown into a lake, causing ripples that eventually die down Their life paths were different to begin with Even if they intersected occasionally, it was just a fleeting moment before each returned to their own track
