Chapter 579 Agnes was caught off guard by this, but at the same time, it kinda made sense.
To anyoneâs eyes, Jared and Valeria were a match made in heaven.
Partners in the business world and lovers in life.
1 Back in the day when Agnes was with Jared, divorce rumors would pop up now and then.
As for the reason? Incompatible family backgrounds and social status.
Agnes still remembers a particularly popular relationship tweet predicting their divorce within two years.
That tweet got tons of attention and was shared like crazy.
One part of it read, âA good marriage is when two people match in life experiences, social circles, values, etc. When Iâm by your side, I can conquer the world with you, and without you, I can still do just fine on my own. However, Mr. Whitfieldâs love for Ms.
Agnes is nothing but overindulgence. Thatâs not fair love. The best love should be equal.â
When Agnes saw that tweet, she made Jared read it too.
Agnes said anxiously, âI think thereâs a point there. Am I too dependent on you, Jared? Donât be too nice to me anymore. Iâm scared that if I leave you, I wonât be able to survive.â
Jared pinned her down, pinched her face, and answered, âLeave me? Where do you think youâre going, Agnes? Iâm telling you, youâre not getting away from me in this lifetime.â
Back then, Agnes really thought they would never part.
Turns out, that tweet prediction came true.
Cilian finally broke his silence, âEveryone has a past. I can understand you guys, but letâs not dig up old stuff. Since both of you have started new lives, just let the past be past.â
Cilian raised his glass, everyone else followed suit.
Agneâs didnât expect Cilian to be so openâminded.
Originally, Agnes thought that once her relationship with Jared was revealed, Cilian would definitely oppose Ryder having any contact with her.
Turns out, heâs pretty chill.
He was a bit surprised at first but then acted like nothing had happened.
On the other hand, Kevin was having a blast watching the drama.
Just when it seemed like things were about to calm down, he suddenly asked Ryder, âRyder, Valeriaâs engagement party is all set. I think you guys should get yours set up too, to avoid any problems from dragging it out. I have a suggestion, why not consider having your engagement on the same day as Valeriaâs? Double happiness, sounds pretty good right?â
The same old Kevin, always stirring the pot.
Just when things were about to wrap up, he stirred up a new drama.
Agnes smoothly picked up the ball, âI donât mind, itâs up to Ryder.â
She passed the decision to Ryder.
After all, he was the one who made things complicated in the first place.
Agnes didnât want to ruin the mood or get too involved.
Ryder said, âAgnes and I got engaged when we were in Manhattan, in front of our friends, in a church where we made our vows.
Iâm sorry we didnât tell everyone, but Iâve always wanted our relationship to have enough private space. So, we donât plan to have an engagement ceremony again. As for our future wedding, we also donât plan to have a banquet. We intend to get married while traveling. We hope you can understand.â
Agnes was shocked.
When did she and Ryder get engaged?
