Chapter 633 Agnes felt totally defeated facing Ryder.
She had repeated her words countless times.
Indeed, Ryder did share a similarity with Jared.
They both had an almost masochistic stubbornness.
And these geniuses seemed to always believe in their ability to change the status quo.
Agnes didnât want to talk anymore.
Agnes began, Iâll head back to Manhattan as soon as possible.â
After she finished, she turned and walked away.
Agnes went to Jaredâs bedroom.
The door was open.
Jared was inside.
Nocturne was sitting on the sofa chatting with Jared.
âThey told me youâre my dad.â Nocturne said.
Jared replied calmly, âYes, Iâm your biological father.â
âMy mom told me I donât have a dad.â
âThatâs because your mom didnât tell you the truth. Every child has a father and a mother.â
âI know that, but I thought you guys are divorced.â
Jared stayed silent for a moment, then replied, âWe are divorced.â
A frown appeared on Nocturneâs face, âWhy did you divorce? Donât you love my mom?â
A hint of pain flashed in Jaredâs eyes, âYouâre still young. You wouldnât understand that in this world, loving someone doesnât mean you can be with them. There are many things that your mom and I canât control.â
Agnes didnât expect Jared to speak from a childâs perspective.
In front of the child, he didnât blame their separation on her.
Even though he hated her so much.
Agnesâ heart was filled with bitterness.
Nocturne seemed a little clueless, âMaybe I donât understand adult feelings. Will you guys be together in the future?â
Jared gently touched Nocturneâs hair, âWe will, I promise. Youâll have a complete family.â
Nocturne thought for a moment and then said okay.
The room fell into silence again.
Jared suddenly asked, âCould you call me âdadâ?â
Nocturne looked at Jared, calm as ever, âSorry, I need my momâs permission first.â
Jared replied helplessly, âAlright then, just call me Jared.â
Hearing this, Agnes couldnât hold back anymore.
She stood at the door, afraid she would soften.
Agnes walked in, âSummer, we should leave.â
Nocturne stood up from the sofa, âMom, youâre back.â
Nocturne glanced at Jared, said nothing, and didnât ask any questions.
Jared also stood up, âNocturne canât go with you.â
âJared, I donât want to argue with you in front of our child. You said that if I came back with you to the Whitfield family, there would be a resolution. I came back, hoping youâll keep your promise.â
Jaredâs face turned pale, and he said nothing.
He didnât expect Ryder to come back and interfere.
In fact, he had noticed, Timâs attitude wasnât as hard as before.
Jared was confident he could convince Tim.
But everything was ruined by Ryder.
But then again, even if he could convince Tim, what would it change?
This womanâs heart was as hard as stone.
Not to mention her relationship with Ryder...
17:04 At this moment, Ryder walked in.
Ryder said to Agnes, âLet Nocturne stay here for now. I brought a new medication for him. Weâll start him on it today, but I need to monitor his reactions.â Agnes trusted Ryder completely when it came to Nocturneâs illness.
She was completely at ease leaving Nocturne with Ryder.
Besides, now that Nocturneâs identity had been revealed, there was no need for her to hide anymore.
Also, Agnes had other matters to attend to.
Before going back to Manhattan, she had to find that remittance slip.
She might need to go to the Capital again to see Laura.
She also needed to find an opportunity to deal with Alyssa.
Having Nocturne at the Whitfield Manor might be a good chance.
