Chapter 150 Ryder was quite the eye candy at Lakeside College. He was a top student in the medical department and, well, many girlsâ
dreamn guy He was also allegedly her boyfriend at Lakeside College But that was all a big misunderstanding thanks to Cecile Higginsâ clinginess, Ryder just used her as a shield.
However, Ryder had no clue about his relationship with Jared.
So, it might be awkward when they meet now Agnes followed Tim and Jared downstairs.
They just happened to bump into Preston and Laura, who had just entered.
Seeing Tim, Preston quickly approached to shake hands.
âThank you for the invitation. Itâs my honorâ
Tim responded with a smile, âNo need to be so formal, Mr. Pritchard. Our children are married, weâre family now.â
âMy daughter marrying Jared is her good luck.â
âIâd say Jaredâs the lucky one. Agnes is kind and cute, all thanks to Mr. Pritchardâs good parentingâ
After a bit of chitâchat, everyone moved to the dining room The Whitfield family had already prepared a lavish dinner.
After everyone took their seats, Alyssa and Ryder walked in.
Alyssa introduced Ryder to everyone.
Despite his politeness, he seemed a bit cold and distant.
Rumour has it that Ryder comes from a complicated family background. Heâs lived overseas for many years and just returned.
Heâs reserved and not really sociable.
It seems like the rumors were true.
At last, Alyssa introduced Agnes, âThis is Jaredâs wife, Agnes.â
Ryderâs gaze fell on Agnes.
The news about them had already spread like wildfire earlier in the afternoon.
Ryder didnât expect Agnes to be married to Jared.
Ryder stayed silent, which made Agnes feel a bit awkward sitting there.
Agnes stood up and initiated a greeting. âWe meet again?â
Ryder responded with a simple âHello,â and then sat down.
Tim said, âWasnât Agnes the classmate you brought home for my birthday? I thought you two knew each other well.â
Ryder replied calmly. âWeâre not that close. You misunderstood Everyone was surprised by Ryderâs stern response.
Laura tried to lighten the mood, âAgnes is even younger than Ryder. Since they were classmates, itâs natural for them to interact as such.â
Tim laughed. âHeâs just an introvert. Heâll get used to it once they live under the same roofâ
Agnes felt uneasy throughout the meal.
Pretending to be innocent, Beatrice asked, âHow did you meet my sister? You guys got your marriage certificate four months ago, but I remember her boyfriend at that time was Elton, wasnât it?â
Her words instantly quieted the whole table.
Laura glared at Beatrice, âWhat are you talking about?â
Beatrice feigned ignorance, âIâm sorry, did I say something wrong?â
Tim and Alyssa looked puzzled If Beatrice was right, and Agnes had a boyfriend when she married Jared, wasnât that like daling two guys simultaneously?
At this point, Jared said coldly. âYou mean Elton? Four months ago, I took Agnes away from that pleasureâseeking young man.
He didnât deserve my wife.â
Jaredâs voice was as calm as still water But his words cleared everyoneâs confusion. It wasnât Agnes dating two guys simultaneously, Jared took her away from Elton.
