Chapter 622 Agnes asked a bit nervously, âHow does Tim know about Summer?â
Leo awkwardly replied, âMaybe he saw the news and assumed...â
Agnes immediately understood.
The old man mustâve thought Nocturne was Jared and Sharonâs love child.
Agnes held Nocturne tight, asserting, âNo way, I wonât let Nocturne go back to the Whitfield family. He has nothing to do with you guys!â
Jared scoffed, âSince Tim already knows, do you really think you can keep it a secret?â
Agnes knew she couldnât hide it any longer, but the situation had spiraled beyond her control.
âAgnes, you wanted to end things between us, right? If you go back with me, Iâll sure itâs over between us.â
Agnes felt that Jared sounded particularly tired when he said that.
Maybe Sharon had convinced him to let go, but what did Jared mean by âitâs overâ?
Finally, Agnes followed Jared to the Whitfield Manor.
She hadnât been here in four years, but everything seemed unchanged.
The flowers in front of the villa were in full bloom.
Pink petals were scattered all over the ground, making it feel like a fairyâtale world.
Just as the car stopped, Agnes got out.
The big golden retriever in the yard barked at her.
Agnes turned her head and shouted, âOscar!â
Oscar seemed stunned.
Then he excitedly rushed to Agnesâ feet, rolled over, exposing his belly, and rubbed his nose against Agnesâ pants.
Agnes was surprised and said to Jared, âCan you believe Oscar still remembers me?â
âAgnes, youâre the only one whoâs forgotten everything.â Jaredâs voice was cold.
After saying that, he opened the car door and picked up Nocturne, who was sleeping.
Agnes knew Jaredâs words had a deeper meaning, and it felt like a sting in her heart.
Jared took Nocturne inside, and Agnes followed.
Seeing Jared back, the butler said respectfully, âMr. Whitfield, youâre back. Timâs in the study.â
But when he turned his head, he saw Agnes.
The usually stern butler looked surprised and exclaimed, âMs. Pritchard.â
He didnât expect Jared to bring Agnes back after four years, and with a little boy.
Looking at Summer, the butlerâs eyes softened, âThis must be your child. He really looks like you when he was young.â
Jared looked gloomy, âIs Alyssa back?â
âSheâs also in the study.â
Jared went straight upstairs with Nocturne.
Everything in the Whitfield family remained the same, even the nanny from four years ago was still there.
Seeing Agnes, they were all shocked as if theyâd seen a ghost.
Agnes felt nervous.
But what had to be faced, still had to be faced.
Jared didnât go to the study first, but took Agnes to a bedroom, the one they used to live in four years ago.
After settling Nocturne, Jared went to the study, and Agnes followed.
The study door was tightly closed.
Jared knocked twice, and the door was quickly opened.
Alyssa appeared at the door, asking, âYouâre finally back, what on earth did you and Sharon...â
Alyssa stopped midâsentence as she saw Agnes behind Jared.
