Chapter 394 When Jared caught sight of Agnes, he headed straight for her Agnes looked out of sorts, as if she lost her spirit.
Jared, worried, asked, âWhat did she say? You donât look well.â
Agnes managed a half hearted smile, âJared, letâs go home. I want to go home.â
Preston walked over, âAgnes, why not stay for dinner with Jared? Itâs not often you come back.â
Agnesâs voice had a cold edge. Tm not hungry, Jared, letâs go Jared and Agnes walked down the stairs together.
The sound of Prestonâs sigh echoed behind them Agnes didnât say a word all the way down.
Jared glanced at Agnes with a furrowed brow, then held her hand in his, âWhat did Laura say to make you so anxious?â
Agnes smiled, âLetâs let Beatrice off the hook, let her out tomorrowâ
Jared frowned, âHow can we let her off so easily?â
âShe is still my fatherâs daughter. Now that sheâs ruined her reputation and canât enter the entertainment industry anymore, this punishment is enough.â
Jared was unconvinced, âDid Laura offer you any deal?â
âNo, I just think the lesson is enough.â
Jared looked doubtful, but Agnesâ soft heart left him speechless.
âYouâre too kind-hearted, youâll get a raw deal sooner or later, Jared said.
Agnes forced a smile âJared, is your sister still in S City?â
Alyssa had started a clothing brand and a company in S City It had been a while since Agnes last saw her.
Jared replied, âSheâs been there lately, why the sudden interest?â
Agnes said, âI want to see herâ
âSheâll definitely be back for Christmas Eve, Jared said.
âOkayâ Agnes nodded.
After that, Agnes spent most of her time working on her thesis.
Due to the airing of the TV show âCinderella,â she had gained some popularity on campus.
She generally stayed away from campus unless it was necessary.
Now, she spent most of her time in Jaredâs office, writing her thesis and researching Jared noticed Agnes seemed to have become more dependent on him.
They were practically together 24/7.
Sometimes when Jared had a business trip, Agnes would insist on coming along.
Jared was pleased with Agnesâs change, but he also worried, Agnes had something on her mind Jared could tell.
But she wouldnât say Jared occasionally found her lost in thought.
He didnât know what was wrong with her After a meeting. Jared walked into his office to find Agnes standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, deep in thought.
Jared walked over, hugged her from behind, and kissed her hair gently, âWhat are you thinking about, do you still not want to tell me?â
Agnes leaned back into his arms, almost completely melting into his embrace.
She loved the smell of Jared, fresh and comforting âJared,â Agnes suddenly said, âI was wondering, why does the world change so unpredictably? It was clear skies just a moment ago, but look, the sky is now full of dark clouds. It looks like itâs going to rainâ
Jared looked out.
Sure enough, dark clouds were gathering, and the sky was becoming gloomy.
