Chapter 70 Sure, it happened before, but that was when she was out of her mind. The situation now was totally different. With her back to Jared, Agnes realized there was nothing in the bathroom she could cover herself with She was like a startled cat, growling angrily. âJared, out!â
Jared found her anger utterly adorable.
Agnes had naturally fair skin, and at that moment, she looked like a ripe peach. Jared was even beginning to miss the feel of her skin.
Jaredâs gaze deepened. He was worried he wouldnât be able to control himself if this went on, but it wasnât the time.
Jared backed out, and Agnes quickly said, âPut the clothes here.â
Jared put down the clothes with a slight smile.
After Agnes had dressed, she stayed inside for a while before coming out.
Jared was on the balcony, making a call. He saw Agnes glaring at him when he came in after hanging up.
Before Jared could open his mouth, Agnes blurted out, âPervert!â
Jared laughed. He had lived for over twenty years, yet this was the first time he had been called a pervert.
Jared said, âIf someone comes out of the bathroom naked, then whoâs the real pervert?â
Agnes said, âCanât you knock first when you come in? Thatâs basic manners.â
âAgnes, do I need to knock in my own bedroom? I had no idea youâd be...so bold!â
Agnes didnât know how to react to Jaredâs smile.
Jared laughed and said, âLetâs not dwell on this. Weâre a couple, itâs normal. If you still feel upset, next time after a shower, I can walk out naked for you.â
Agnes was speechless and started to pack up, ready to leave.
But Jared grabbed her arm and said, âAgnes, we need to talk.â
Agnes said annoyedly. âWhatâs there to talk about?â
âWhat have you been up to these days?â
Agnes pretended to be clueless. âWhat do you mean?â
Jared got serious: âAgnes, youâve been avoiding me and not coming home. Whatâs going on?â
Agnes didnât know what was happening either, but seeing Jared made her uncomfortable.
Agnes said, âI ve just been a bit busy.â
âAgnes, look into my eyes and tell me again; tell me youâre not lying.â
Agnes couldnât look into Jaredâs eyes. She was somewhat afraid of him.
Jared said, âIâve checked your schedule. You havenât had many classes recently, and youâre free this afternoon. Rest for a bit, Iâll take you to meet someone tonightâ
âWho?â
âMamie.â Jared began, âI know youâre still upset about last time. If I didnât explain it properly, let her tell you.â
Jared was good at understanding people. Was he really going to introduce her to Mamie? Did this mean she misunderstood?
Agnes gently said, âBut Mamie must be very busy. Sheâs a top star, itâs usually hard for people to meet her.â
Jared pinched Agnesâs face gently and said, âI have a wife who gets jealous easily. If I donât explain things clearly, I can bear with it, but it might not be able toâ
The sudden closeness made the atmosphere ambiguous.
Agnes was a bit lost. Who are you talking about?â
Jared teased, âit Agnesâs face turned red again. âJared! You, you, you again...â
