Chapter 572

Chapter 572 Agnes had thought that there was a slim chance Jared might show up.

She told herself, even if Jared did appear, she could handle it cool and collected. But, when she saw that icy figure, her heart squeezed, and breathing became difficult. Especially when she saw that tall and beautiful woman–Valeria–standing next to him.

They were talking, but when Jared looked up, his body stiffened. He had seen Agnes. It felt like the air had turned to ice. Jared’s gaze was like a sharp sword, cutting through the ice. Facing him, Agnes felt tense.

But Jared’s eyes were calm, as still as water, looking at Agnes, without a hint of emotion..

Yeah, he knew all along that Agnes was here. Agnes stood there, watching Jared leave Valeria and walk towards her. She knew, one day she would have to face him. Agnes had only been back for a few days and couldn’t avoid Jared. She even suspected that Jared had come here on purpose.

With each step Jared took closer, they kept their eyes on each other. Agnes didn’t know what he was going to do, but just the thought of it was exhausting, she didn’t want to have to fight him every time.

Suddenly, Agnes felt warmth on her shoulder. A men’s trench coat was draped over her. She turned her head and saw Ryder. “I couldn’t find your coat, so wear mine for now,” he said.

Meanwhile, Jared stopped in his tracks and Ryder looked towards the staircase. Their gazes met, one cold, the other even colder.

Ryder was the first to speak, “Uncle.”

Jared walked towards them, his eyes icy, but he didn’t look at Agnes. He asked Ryder, “When did you get back?” Ryder answered casually, “Yesterday.” And then there was no more interaction between them.

Jared’s gaze fell on Agnes“ face. She saw disbelief and suspicion in his eyes. Jared, the sharp–minded man, had definitely figured out something. But Agnes didn’t know how much he had figured out, and what he was thinking.

Valeria came upstairs and seemed surprised to see Agnes. “Ms. Agnes, I didn’t expect to see you here.” Agnes smiled, “Ms. Thomas, it’s been a while.” Valeria suddenly realized something, “They said Ryder came back today to bring his girlfriend home, is his girlfriend Ms. Agnes?

Valeria expressed her confusion openly.

Chapter 1515 Agnes was about to deny it, but heard Ryder’s affirmative answer, “Yes.”

Hearing this, Agnes was slightly taken aback.

Why would Ryder say that?

Jared’s face looked really gloomy.

Valeria also raised an eyebrow, saying, “Four years have passed. You two have changed more than I expected. But, let me congratulate you two first.”
