hapter 306 Agnes ran back to the house, but found that her grandmother was not there. After a while, her grandma returned.
âWhere did you go?â she asked.
âI asked Jared to fill up the big kitchen vat with water after he finished washing the dishes,â the old lady replied.
Agnes couldnât hold it in, âGrandma!â
The old lady glanced at her, âHe should do more work. Thatâs how heâll learn to cherish his wifeâ
Agnes stormed out, but a smirk appeared on the old ladyâs lips.
Once outside, Agnes indeed found Jared, hauling water at the well.
She hurried over, snatched the bucket from Jared, âItâs late, come back to the room to rest.â
Jared smiled, Tm alright, Agnes. You go ahead and rest.â
Standing at the doorway, the old lady had a stern look on her face.
Jared glanced at her, took the bucket back from Agnes and whispered, âLet me show off a bit in front of grandma. Donât worry, Iâm not that weak.â
Then he continued with his task Agnes stood at a distance, her heart aching.
After watching for a while, the old lady spoke up. âOnce Jared fills up the vat, you two should sleep. Iâve already made your beds.
Iâm off to bed now?
Once the old lady went inside, Agnes immediately grabbed another bucket and began to help Jared.
Jared, however, didnât want her to. Rolling up his sleeves, he frowned, âGo back to the room and rest.â
Agnes said, âTm as strong as you. Donât forget, Iâm a fifth-degree black belt in Taekwondo.â
âThatâs not the point.â
âWhy not?â
âItâs not a job for a girl.â
âLetâs not waste time. Letâs race to see who can do it faster.â
Jared looked at Agnes, helplessly saying, âAgnes, youâre making me feel incompetent. My wife isnât supposed to do heavy work, not ever.â
Agnes was speechless and could only give up, but she still stayed by his side, heart aching.
She sat at the doorway, chin resting on her hands, watching Jared busy hauling water She thought this man, even when just hauling water, was different from others.
He always had a calm and elegant aura.
Agnes admitted, even just watching Jared hauling water, she was fascinated.
