Chapter 745 Alyssa seemed to be lost in her past memories, it took her a while to come back to the present.
âLove in our generation was a tragedy,â Alyssa began, 1 donât want the same thing to happen to you kids. You know, your mom and I were best friends once But we fell in love with the same man and now look where we are, both stuck in this miserable state. I often wonder if we could have been sitting in a cafe. sipping coffee and chatting if we hadnât let love ruin us I like you, Agnes. I feel guilty about what happened with your mother and I donât want to oppose your relationship with Jared. I even hope that Jared can make up for my past mistakes. But Agnes, Ryder loves you too, and deeply. I see my own madness in him and I donât want him to follow in my footsteps. They are both my boys, and I canât bear to see either of them get hurt because of you.â
Agnes didnât know what to say. Every time she thought about Ryder, she felt confused.
âIâm giving you a month, Alyssa continued, âIf you can convince Ryder to let you go completely, I wonât oppose your remarriage to Jared. But if you canât, I want you to disappear from their lives. Even if it hurts them, I donât want them to harm each other and end up like your mother and me.â
When Agnes left the room, she felt weighed down. Jared was waiting for her outside, worried that Alyssa might have been harsh on her âWhat did she say? Jared asked.
Agnes shook her head, âNothing much, I explained everything.â
âDid she agree to our remarriage?â
Agnes simply replied. âShe doesnât oppose it, but thereâs a condition.â
Before Jared could ask about it, Ryder appeared at the end of the corridor. He had been in the States for a conference, studying Nocturneâs condition Agnes knew about his dedication, but she couldnât reciprocate his feelings for her. And Ryder didnât even know that she got back together with Jared She couldnât even imagine how he would react when she told him.
Ryder saw Jared and Agnes together and walked towards them. Jared suddenly wrapped an arm around Agnesâ waist, pulling her closer to him. Agnes looked up at Jared, his face cold and stern, asserting his claim on her. Ryder, seeing this, stopped in his tracks, disbelief etched on his face. But he quickly composed himself and joined them.
âAgnes, should I congratulate you?â Ryder asked with a bitter smile.
Jared replied, Iâm afraid youâll have to get used to regarding her as your aunt from now on.â
