Chapter 158

Chapter 158 Jared asked, “What’s up with Ryder?”

With a shrug. Alyssa replied, “Isn’t he always like this?”

Jared said, “I feel like he’s been acting a bit off lately. Did something happen?”

Alyssa nonchalantly said, “He’s a teenage boy, they’re all a bit stubborn. Besides, you’re his role model, always pushing himself to be like you. I’m not worried at all. With you being so wonderful, my son can’t be far off.”

Agnes, however, was feeling a bit uneasy. She suspected that Ryder’s sudden change might have to do with her. She was, after all, the stranger who had suddenly intruded into their family. And she was about the same age as him, even a few months younger, Alyssa had mentioned earlier that Jared was his role model, but she had stolen his role model’s affection. It was enough to throw anyone off balance.

Before, Agnes thought, she and Ryder were sort of friends His current coldness must be because of this.

Agnes thought it necessary to have a chat with him, to tell him she couldn’t steal Jared’s love for him.

So that evening, Alyssa prepared a fruit platter. When it was time to deliver it to Ryder’s room, Agnes volunteered, “I can take it.”

She approached Ryder’s room with the fruit platter, a bit nervous.

But she knocked on the door anyway.

No response.

I Agnes knocked again.

Finally, the door opened Ryder stood there as cold as ice.

But when he saw Agnes standing there, he paused for a moment.

Agnes quickly flashed a smile, “Hi, I’ve brought you some fruit.”

Calling him Ryder in the morning had made him angry. This time, Agnes was clever, just simply greeting him They were on equal footing now, surely he couldn’t still be mad?

As expected, Ryder’s expression didn’t worsen. He simply asked, “You’re just here to bring me fruit?”

Agnes said, “Well, I also wanted to talk.”

Ryder’s expression changed. Then he opened the door wider, “Come in.”

Agnes entered Ryders room. Upon entering, Agnes almost thought she was in the wrong room. Ryder’s room was almost an exact replica of Jared’s.

A big bed, a floor–to-ceiling bookcase, a large window.

Agnes thought to herself. Jared really was his role model, even his room was set up the same way. He must admire Jared so much.

Agnes set down the fruit platter, saying, “I noticed you didn’t eat much tonight.”

Ryder coldly said. “Just spit it out.”

Not wanting to beat around the bush, Agnes dived straight in, “Ryder. The truth is, Jared still loves you very much. Even though he’s married to me now, that won’t change. You two are blood relatives, I can’t replace you in his heart. And now, you didn’t lose Jare like Jared does”

Agnes let everything out in one breath. But, after she said all this, she noticed Ryder’s face had darkened considerably.
