Chapter 311-320

Chapter 311

Jared gave a poker-faced nod.

“So Agnes just said you guys work together, what do you do exactly?”

Jared answered casually, “Just a regular job.”

Mariela chuckled, changing the subject, “Agnes has got a good eye. You’re clearly a very good person.”

Jared didn’t seem interested in small talk, he turned to leave the room.

Mariela called out to him, “Jared, could you do me a favor?”

Jared turned around.

Mariela gave a small smile, “There seems to be something wrong with my laptop, could you take a look?”

By then, Mariela had picked up the laptop from the desk and walked over to Jared, have to work tonight but my computer just froze and there are some important files on it that haven’t been backed up yet. Really sorry for the trouble, Jared”

Jared furrowed his brows slightly.

He sat down on the single-seater couch in the room, starting up the computer. The screen was black.

Jared tweaked a few programs and restarted the computer. In just a few minutes, the computer was back to normal.

Mariela had just brought over a cup of coffee, only to see that the computer was already up and running.

Mariela exclaimed in surprise, “Jared, you’re really amazing

With that, she handed him the cup of coffee, “This is a coffee my friend brought over, give it a try.”

Before Jared could reach for it, Mariela’s hand shook and a cup of coffee spilled onto Jared’s pants. Mariela cried out in surprise, “I’m sorry.”

She quickly grabbed some tissues from the table and prepared to wipe Jared’s pants.

But before her hand could touch Jared, Jared suddenly stood up and took a step back. Then he said in a cold tone, “Stay away from me.”

Mariela was clearly not expecting such a reaction from Jared.

She stood there in shock, tissues still in hand.

Just then, Agnes walked out of the bathroom after a shower and saw what happened.

Agnes quickly went over, saying awkwardly: “Never mind, Mariela He’s a neat freak and doesn’t like to be touched.” Agnes grabbed some tissues and wiped Jared, but he didn’t seem to care.

Mariela quickly composed herself, giving a small laugh, “My bad, I accidentally spilled coffee on Jared.”

Helena came upstairs and saw them all in the room. She said with a smile. “You guys should come downstairs for dinner! Agnes, your grandma’s here too.”

Everyone went downstairs, with Agnes and Jared trailing behind.

Agnes shot Jared a look, “You were really rude just now.”

Jared frowned, “Your neighbor is a bit weird.”

Agnes pinched him, “You’re the weird one. The Lairds are all very nice. It’s just a small accident. Good thing Mariela is understanding and didn’t hold it against you.” At dinner, the Helena family was very welcoming

Agnes grandma didn’t seem to like Jared very much, she was rather aloof,

After dinner, her grandma and Helena were chatting in the kitchen.

Laird invited Jared to play a game of Go

Agnes and Manela were enjoying some fruits and chatting by a small table in the yard.

Mariela said, “Agnes, did you know there’s a boat race in town tomorrow? You and Jared can’t miss out on such a fun event now that you’re back.”

Chapter 312

A few kilometers from Foxglove Village, there’s this place called Starfall Village.

The town was surrounded by water on three sides, with some of the houses even built directly on the water. To get around, people had to boat it.

Every year, just before the end of the year, Starfall Village hosted a boat race.

The boat race was the most popular event of the year, so people from many surrounding villages were attracted to come here. And there were plenty of other fun activities happening around the same time.

Right in the thick of it all, Agnes agreed without hesitation.

On one hand, she thought it was a rare opportunity. Since she was back in town during this big bash, she could also take Jared to experience it.

On the other hand, Agnes knew her grandma well enough to know that if they were home tomorrow, she’d find all kinds of ways to rope Jared into doing chores. Jared had only been back for two days and he’d already done a ton of manual labor.

If the Whitfield family found out, they’d feel sorry for him.

After hanging out at Mariela’s for a bit, they headed home.

Once home, Grandma had Jared off doing something else.

Agnes felt more and more glad that tomorrow they were going out to have fun. In the morning, Agnes woke Jared up.

Her grandma was out in the fields early.

Agnes hurried Jared along, saying, “Get up quick, or we won’t be able to slip out before Grandma gets back.”

Jared looked surprised, “Where are you going?”

Agnes suddenly realized she completely forgot to tell him about it, since she was totally bowled over when she got home yesterday. Agnes excitedly said. “I’m taking you somewhere cool today. This way, Grandma can’t ask you to do all kinds of hard work anymore.”

Jared looked at the excited and mysterious Agnes. She seemed like a kid.

So he asked, “Where are you taking me?”

Agnes replied, “Don’t worry, you’ll see when we get there. I promise it Ill be fun.”

Before her Grandma got back, Agnes and Jared had a quick breakfast and set off

Jared was going to drive, but Mariela’s red Benz was parked right outside their house

Manela got out of the car and said, “Agnes, Jared, ride with me No need to take two cars, the town’s crowded today and probably there is no place to park.”

Jared was initially excited, but his brows furrowed when he saw the red Benz.

But Agnes had already agreed to Mariela. She grabbed Jared by the arm and headed for the car

Jared asked in a deep voice, “What’s going on?”

Agnes laughed and said: “Mariela is coming with us. It’s a little more crowded, and we get a free ride” Soon after, Jared was pulled into the car by Agnes. Mariela started the car.

The whole way, Jared was silent. Agnes felt something was off.

He was excited just now. Why did he suddenly clam up?

In the back seat, Agnes tried to cheer him up by squeezing his hand and leaning over to coo at him.

But Jared seemed out of it

Finally, Agnes asked in a soft voice, “Why do you seem a bit down?”

Jared glanced at Agnes but didn’t say anything.

Manela heard this from the front seat. She’d been keeping an eye on the two in the rearview mirror.

Mariela joked, “Jared, are you upset because I’m cramping your private time with Agnes?”

Chapter 313

Jared was just staring out the window, not saying a word, as if he hadn’t heard a thing.

Agnes felt a bit awkward, knowing Jared’s snobbish character in public.

So, she covered for Jared, “He doesn’t mean anything by it, he was born that way, Mariela, please don’t mind it.”

Jared shot Agnes a glance.

In a short while, they reached Starfall Village

Today, Starfall Village was buzzing like never before

Even though it’s in the middle of nowhere, its boat race was super famous, drawing crowds from other cities just to catch the action.

The boat race took place on Starfall River, with water so clear you could see your own reflection.

Though the race hadn’t started yet, the banks of Starfall River were already jam-packed with people.

Agnes was a bit bummed, “With all these people, we’re not gonna find a decent spot

Manela chimed in, “I know a place that was not too crowded with great view

Agnes was surprised to find that Mariela led them to the riverbank where the race was about to start.

The view was incredible, they could even see the faces of the racers clearly.

But the reason this place wasn’t buzzing with people was because of a broken spot on the riverbank that hadn’t been fixed yet.

Watching the race from here, it was easy to take a tumble into the water when it’s crowded.

Still, there were a few brave souls around, though not many.

Mariela warned, “This is probably the best spot, but just watch your step. The riverbank is busted. It’s easy to fall into the river.”

Agnes was thrilled. She bolted to the front, hollering with the crowd.

Then, she turned to Jared, “Jared, look at those guys, they’re ripped, all of them have six pack abs.”

Jared frowned, “Are they really that great?”

Agnes stuck her tongue out teasingly, “Don’t be such a wet blanket. I’m just taking a look, not gonna touch them.”

This woman still wanted to touch them?

Jared pinched Agnes” face, “No more looking, let’s go home.”

Agnes quickly held onto Jared’s hand, pleading for forgiveness, “I’m sorry, I’m just here for the race, okay?”

Jared released his grip. Mariela stood nearby, watching the two of them interact. They were like a couple in love, which was admirable.

Agnes had lived a life of privilege since she was little. Every time she visited the countryside, everything felt fresh and exciting, like the chicks and ducks were new

toys.

She said she loved the countryside because it was quiet and cozy.

But Mariela, who had grown tired of this place, knew otherwise.

Agnes found the chicks and ducks cute, probably because she didn’t have to clean up after them.

She loved the homemade food, probably because she was used to fancy, exotic dishes.

Mariela had been a hardworking student since she was little. She had one goal in mind to get out of the countryside and become someone people looked up to.

In fact, she had achieved that, she now had a high-paying, respectable job.

But that wasn’t enough.

She had only managed to escape the countryside but couldn’t break into high society.

Even though she was a top performer at work, she was still working for someone else.

Her only way out was with a little help

She was excellent and beautiful and many rich businessmen had expressed interest in her

Although she was outwardly friendly, she didn’t really fancy these fat, nch people.

Until she laid her eyes on Jared for the first time…

Mariela admitted, she was attracted to this man with a unique elitist charm

The Boat Race started quickly.

Chapter 314

With the sound of drums, the boats shot forward like arrows, racing at full speed.

Onlookers at the shore were amazed by the spectacle, and everyone began cheering for their favorite boat team, shouting words of encouragement.

Especially, they ran alongside the boats as they departed

Though Agnes’s group wasn’t large, they were still a good number of people.

They were caught in the middle of the crowd and had to follow the flow of people. All of Agnes’s attention was captivated by the boat race.

Then, she heard a noise and someone shouting. “Someone fell into the water!”

Agnes looked towards the water and saw that it was Mariela.

People’s attention shifted because of the incident.

Everyone started to worry.

However, the embankment was quite high with no steps to get down, and the water level was shallow, making it difficult for even skilled swimmers to get back up onto the shore.

Agnes felt extremely anxious

How could Manela have fallen into the water when she wasn’t even standing close to the water’s edge? She might have been pushed down by the excited crowd.

Mariela struggled in the water, crying for help as she slowly sank, her voice echoing in desperation.

Agnes was beside herself with worry and grabbed Jared Whitfield’s arm, saying, “What do we do? Jared, you have to go and save her.”

Agnes knew that Jared could swim, and he was an excellent swimmer at that.

The Whitfield family even had an outdoor swimming pool.

Agnes had once seen Jared swim, displaying a skill level comparable to that of a professional athlete.

However, Jared frowned and hesitated, not making any moves to jump in.

Agnes watched as Mariela continued to sink

And the people around them were merely pointing and talking but showed no intention of jumping in to help.

Unable to wait any longer, Agnes began taking off her shoes, preparing to jump in herself.

But before she could remove her shoes completely, Jared stopped her with a firm grip on her hand.

“What are you doing?” he asked.

“No matter what, I can’t just stand by. I can swim too, don’t worry,” Agnes insisted.

Jared’s face remained stern as he glanced at the water again.

Then he held onto Agnes and said, “Alright, you stay here. I’ll go and rescue her”

Agnes was grateful that Jared was willing to go.

But before he got into the water, he slowly took off his shoes and clothes, which made Agnes even more anxious.

In the water, Manela was still struggling, and it looked like she had only two hands left. If this continued, even if Jared managed to save her, she might have already drowned

Finally, with a graceful dive, Jared jumped into the water.

Within a few minutes, he had pulled Mariela to safety, and a group of people helped to haul her ashore

By this time, Mariela had lost consciousness

Agnes was very worried

She urgently held onto Jared’s hand and pleaded, “Jared, save her, save her! What do we do now?”

Jared remained composed and asked the people around him, “Does anyone know CPR?”

Most of the people around were elderly villagers from Starfall Village, and they had no idea about CPR

Jared scanned the area and found a disheveled wanderer picking up cigarette butts by the river.

Jared handed him some money and said, “Please do me a favor. This money is your reward”

The wanderer’s eyes lit up when he saw so much money.

Jared taught him how to give Mariela CPR Jared taught it twice, and he went through it in great detail. The wanderer was smart. He’s a quick learner

The wanderer followed Jared’s instructions.

Before long. Mariela regained consciousness.

Chapter 315

When Mariela opened her eyes, she saw a scruffy man with a full beard giving her artificial respiration.

Seeing his face approaching, she felt extremely disgusted and wanted to throw up.

She immediately pushed the man away and said, “Back off! What are you doing?”

Jared took a step forward and said, “Mariela, he just saved you”

Mariela looked up and saw Jared’s cold but handsome face.

Last night, while chatting with Agnes, she accidentally overheard Agnes mentioning that Jared was a swimming expert.

She fell into the water due to the crowd’s pushing.

she thought Jared would definitely jump in to save her. If that happened, she would have a reason and opportunity to get closer to him.

However, she stayed in the water for a long time and was about to expose the fact that she could actually swim.

She wouldn’t risk her life just for a guy.

Just when she was about to swim to the shore on her own, Jared jumped into the water.

Mariela was delighted. But she had struggled in the water for too long, so to avoid revealing her swimming ability, she purposely took a mouthful of water.

Therefore, when she was rescued and brought ashore, she was genuinely drowning

She thought that since Jared was willing to jump in to save her, he must be willing to perform CPR on her

As she regained some consciousness just now, she was filled with joy.

But when she opened her eyes, she didn’t expect to see such a repulsive face.

Manela looked at Jared, wondering if he had noticed something.

But with so many people watching, she couldn’t get angry.

So, she apologized to the homeless man, “Thank you for saving me. I got scared just now, sorry”

The homeless man didn’t care about all that after all, he had already received his money. He bowed to Jared twice and then left.

Mariela was still sitting on the ground, completely soaked.

Thinking about the mouth-to-mouth with the homeless man just now made her feel extremely disgusted

Agnes quickly came over and said, “Mariela, you really scared me just now! How did you suddenly fall into the water? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere? Should we take you to the hospital for a check-up?”

Seeing Agnes’s worried face, Mariela felt very angry.

She didn’t expect Agnes to witness her being bullied by a homeless man and yet did nothing to stop it.

But on the outside, she forced herself to smile and said, “I’m fine, let’s go back.”

On the way back, Agnes was driving. Both Jared and Manela were completely soaked, and they needed to get home quickly to take a shower and change clothes.

Because it was winter, Agnes was worried they might catch a cold.

Jared sat in the passenger seat without saying a word throughout the journey.

Maniela sat in the back seat, tightly holding her fingers.

After they arrived home, Agnes said, “I need to use your bathroom.” Then she drove to Mariela’s house.

Helena saw the two of them coming back all wet and asked anxiously, “What happened?”

Mariela replied, “I accidentally fell into the river while watching the rowing competition, but thankfully, Jared saved me.”

Helena was very grateful to Jared, “You both hurry up and take a shower. It’s so cold outside; make sure you don’t catch a cold”

Agnes said to Jared, “You go and take a shower first, I’ll get your clothes, and Til be right back.”

Before Jared could react, Agnes turned around and ran off

Jared could only sigh and went upstairs on his own

Mariela’s room had a bathroom, so she naturally went back to her own bedroom.

Jared used the separate bathroom he had used last night.

But not long after, the door to the separate bathroom was opened, and Manela appeared at the doorway

Chapter 316

M

Jared was adjusting the water temperature.

Hearing a noise at the door, he turned his head to look.

But when he saw who was standing at the door, his face immediately turned serious.

It was Mariela at the door.

At this moment, Manela had already changed her clothes.

Her previously soaked clothes were now replaced, and she was wearing a pink silk pajama.

The pajama was a bit revealing, but it accentuated Manela’s beautiful figure.

Mariela looked a bit shy as she walked in and closed the door.

Jared watched her every move with a furrowed brow

“What are you here for?” The iciness in Jared’s voice was unmistakable.

Manela said, “Jared, I’m here to thank you. If it wasn’t for you pulling me out of the nver earlier, I might be dead.”

emotion.

Jared’s voice was still cold, devoid of any

“And how do you plan to repay me?”

Mariela gathered her courage to look at Jared, “I’ll do whatever you want me to do.”

This man was incredibly handsome.

His eyes were particularly deep, captivating at first glance.

He exuded an innate noble aura, making people afraid to approach, yet unable to suppress the urge to do so.

Mariela was a bold woman.

It was because of this boldness that she was able to climb the corporate ladder step by step.

But she had never taken any of those men seriously.

She knew what she wanted.

The man of her dreams was exactly like Jared.

She had heard the name Jared long ago.

In the financial world, who didn’t know he was the youngest president of the Tim Group?

He was a business genius, and the Whitfield family had a prestigious reputation.

But she didn’t expect that Agnes could marry such a man.

Agnes was really lucky

But since she also had this opportunity, she had to cherish it.

She rarely had such opportunities, and this was the first time she could get so close to such a man.

So no matter what means, she couldn’t let this opportunity pass easily.

She had to make something happen between them.

As for the future, she would cross that bridge when she got there…

Manela walked step by step towards Jared.

She had seduced many men before, but she had never been this nervous.

The men from before would have pounced on her before she even approached.

But Jared was different, his expression was unchanged, even somewhat cold.

This made Maniela a little unsure, but then she thought, aren’t all men the same?

Some may appear calm on the surface, but they’re even crazier behind closed doors.

Mariela was now right in front of Jared, her eyes staring deeply into his, seemingly with a captivating charm.

She began to undo her straps, then said to Jared, Jared, I can offer up my body to you, how about it?”

Chapter 317

Jared said, “You think you’re good enough for me?”

Mariela’s fingers froze suddenly on her shoulder strap.

She looked up at Jared, his face seemed stripped of a mask, his eyes filled with disgust.

Mariela seemed not to have heard correctly, she asked, “What did you say?”

Jared stepped back two paces, as if to keep his distance from her.

Jared said, “Mariela, You graduated from an elite school, don’t you know what shame is?”

Mariela’s gaze was full of disbelief, she had never seen anyone reject her before.

Actually, she had a hunch when she fell into the water.

But Jared still jumped in to save her.

This gave her a glimmer of hope.

She jumped into the water on purpose, just to test him,

Mariela said, “I can give up everything. Jared, do you believe in love at first sight? From the moment I saw you, my heart raced. I don’t care about status, and I don’t care about the future. I just hope you can give me a chance.”

But the disgust in Jared’s eyes became more and more obvious.

“Marela, your behavior gives me a new understanding of human nature. I have no interest in people like you. Please don’t do anything that makes you lose your dignity.”

But Mariela was still not willing to give up.

As Jared turned to leave, she asked loudly, “Is it because of Agnes? I promise I’ll keep it a secret. I won’t let her know.”

She didn’t believe that a man like Jared would only have one woman in his life.

She thought if she had a chance, she could, as long as there was a glimmer of hope.

Jared said, “I won’t betray my wife, as for you, you only make me feel disgusted.”

Manela’s heart felt like it had been stabbed by a knife.

Jared’s humiliation of her was like stripping her naked and throwing her into a crowd

Mariela, trembling, said, “Since you’re not interested in me at all, why did you save me today?”

“Because Agnes is very innocent. If I didn’t save you, you would definitely swim up yourself. But then, Agnes would find out you were acting, everything you did was to get close to me!

Mariela, surprised, said, “Is that the reason? You knew I could swim?”

Jared said, “Mariela, your tactics are too poor.”

Marela no longer held back, she walked up to Jared and asked with a smile, “When did you realize I liked you? Was it when I asked you to fix my computer? Or was it last night when I deliberately spilled coffee on you?”

She asked Jared to fix her computer just to create some alone time.

And spilling coffee on Jared’s pants was just an excuse to have physical contact with him.

Most men couldn’t resist this.

Although Jared’s reaction at the time was big, she wasn’t sure if he was pretending to be serious.

But then Agnes interrupted her, so she started another plan, using the rowing race to test Jared’s feelings for her

If he had realized her other intentions for him, he wouldn’t have jumped in to save her.

Since he saved her, it means he accepted her “other intentions”.

This was her way for years. It charmed countless men

Chapter 318

Jared chuckled coldly, “I knew it from the start. The eyes never lie, and yours are filled with desire.”

Mariela laughed, “So you knew from the beginning that I had a crush on you. . Mr. Whitfield, you’re such an experienced business leader that you’ve already honed your perceptiveness. However, Agnes is not like you, she is just a child who has not grown up yet, and ambitious people like me can better help you. How about letting me be your sword in the business world? I don’t care even if you exploit me.”

When Mariela saw her chance of seducing him going nowhere, she immediately changed tack. As long as she had the chance to be around Jared, she believed that one day she would win his heart.

Jared scoffed, “You aren’t fit to be my tool.”

“Jared!” Mariela’s face began to darken.

She had never met a man like this in all these years, and Jared had lost his patience to argue with her.

Jared said sternly, “Mariela, your ambition has nothing to do with me. I’ll pretend today’s incident didn’t happen. But don’t show up around me or Agnes ever again, and don’t let her know about today, or I assure you, no company will hire you in the future.”

Jared’s words were cold, he wasn’t joking around.

Yet Manela couldn’t help but ask, “You don’t want to tell Agnes. Are you afraid she’ll misunderstand?”

“No, I just don’t want you, a piece of trash, to pollute her innocence”

Mariela was shaking with fury.

All the men treated her like a gem, buut why did Jared see her as trash?

Did he really hate her that much?

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

Agnes’s voice came faintly from outside, “Jared, are you done bathing? Open the door, I’ve brought you clothes”

Jared gave Mariela a cold glance. Mariela knew what Jared meant.

If Agnes saw her standing in front of him in such revealing clothes, she would definitely misunderstand.

Jared wouldn’t allow that.

Mariela gritted her teeth and hid behind the thick curtains.

Jared opened the door, Agnes was standing there with clothes in her hand.

Seeing Jared still soaking wet, she asked in surprise, “Why haven’t you bathed yet?”

“Tll go back and do it.”

“Why, doesn’t grandma’s house have a bathroom?”

“This place is too dirty.” Jared’s voice was full of disgust, then he took Agnes and left.

After Agnes and Jared left, Mariela came out from behind the curtains.

Her fingers were buried deep into her palm.

“Jared, you may be high and mighty, but the humiliation I suffered today. I will make you pay someday!”

Agnes found it very strange.

Helena served Jared coffee, but Jared didn’t accept it.

Agnes was a bit upset, “Jared, that’s really rude, you know?”

Jared turned around, “From now on, don’t go to Mariela’s house to shower anymore, understand?”

“Why?”

“We’ll be going back in a few days, I’ll have someone build a bathroom for your grandma”

Hearing Jared’s words, Agnes suddenly felt touched.

She had been thinking about it for a long time, but the water and electricity facilities at grandma’s house were very rudimentary. If they were to be renovated, all the circuits would need to be redone.

Agnes didn’t trust the local craftsmen, and as grandma was old, she was worried about the safety of the wiring

But she had full faith in Jared’s capability.

Agnes immediately beamed, “You go change into clean clothes first. I’ll heat up some water for you, then you can bathe and change.”

”

Chapter 319

She didn’t expect that by the time they got home, her Granny had already boiled hot water ahead of time.

Rows of thermos flasks were lined up in the kitchen.

Agnes brought out the tub for bathing.

The tub was very clean, waxed on the top, making it look brand new.

However, when Agnes started pouring water into it from the thermos, Jared couldn’t help but frown and ask, “Am I really supposed to bathe in this?”

Agnes nodded seriously and said, “Haven’t you watched period dramas? People in those shows bathed in tubs like this. I’ll sprinkle some dried flower petals in it later, a king’s treatment. What do you think?”

Jared joked, “So what was the king’s treatment like, bathing with whichever lover he wanted to?”

Seeing the mischievous look in Jared’s eyes, Agnes knew what he was about to say,

So she held up her hand in a stopping motion and said, “Stop dreaming, you’re not a king.”

After setting everything up. Agnes clapped her hands satisfactorily and said, “I’ll wait for you in the yard, enjoy.”

Then, without waiting for Jared’s response Agnes quickly left.

If she didn’t leave quickly. Agnes was afraid she wouldn’t be able to leave all night.

The weather was great that day. Although there was no moon, the stars were densely scattered in the sky.

In the yard lay an old locust tree.

The tree had been struck by lightning not long ago and was chopped off its branches and leaves, leaving only a thick trunk lying there, yet to be cleared. Agnes sat on this old locust tree, looking at the starry sky.

The nights in the countryside were quiet and dreamy.

Agnes remembered, her mother used to say, the stars in the sky were the eyes of the departed.

Even if they were not beside their loved ones, they were watching from the sky.

Agnes had grown up and knew this was just a beautiful fairy tale

But she preferred to believe it was true, that way, her mother was watching her from the sky.

Agnes suddenly felt sentimental.

Yes, she missed her mother.

To stop herself from wandering in thought, Agnes decided to find something to do

After looking around the yard, Agnes found some potatoes that her grandmother had just dug up today

An idea came to Agnes. She used small branches to make a fire pit on the ground, and then buried the potatoes in it.

She also took a few corns from the kitchen and threw them into the fire pit.

Then she started to roast on the fire.

When Jared came out after his bath, he saw Agnes taking out chunks of charred things from the fire pit.

Seeing Jared come out, Agnes excitedly waved at him and said, “Come here, I have something cool to show you.”

Jared walked over, frowning, and asked, “What are you doing?”

Agnes laughed and picked up a potato. She blew on it for a while, then broke the potato in half.

The potato gave off a caramel scent, and Agnes couldn’t help but drool.

Agnes broke off half and gave it to Jared, “Roasted potato, you’ve never had it before, right? It was my favorite when I was a kid ”

Jared looked at the charred potato, frowned, and didn’t reach out to take it, “Can you eat this?”

Then the next second, half of the potato was shoved into his hand by Agnes, her hands were a bit dirty, but she pulled him directly onto the tree trunk in his fresh clothes

Jared said, “Hey, I just took a bath”

Agnes carelessly replied, “Honey, it’s time to change your neat habit, and eating this potato may help you change it. Try it, take a bite, you definitely won’t think it’s dirty.”

Chapter 320

Jared was soothed by Agnes’s gentle call of “honey”.

Now, she called him that more naturally.

Jared took a bite of a roasted potato.

The well-roasted potato was fragrant, sweet, and soft, melting on his tongue as soon as he bit into it. It suddenly reminded Jared of his first kiss with Agnes. That kiss was just as sweet

He turned his head to look at Agnes, who was looking at him expectantly.

She asked, “How is it, how does it taste, is it sweet?”

Jared replied, “Not bad, it tastes like you.”

Agnes frowned, “That’s a weird comparison.”

But then she turned her face away and busied herself with the com in the fire.

She probably didn’t think that Jared was thinking about something while eating a potato.

As Agnes gnawed on the com, she told stories from her childhood, “I loved staying at my grandma’s house when I was little, because there were all sorts of foods that you couldn’t get in the city. In the summer there were berries, in the winter there were potatoes. Once, I followed the neighborhood kids to raid a beehive and ended up in the hospital because of the bee stings. Another time, I fed all the corn that my grandma was saving for seeds to the sheep, and she chased me around the yard with a broom,”

Remembering the embarrassing past, Agnes started to laugh.

But Jared was completely absorbed, his eyes full of adoration.

“I can’t believe you were such a troublemaker when you were little.”

Agnes was indeed a troublemaker as a child, not liking to follow rules, climbing trees and catching fish with the boys. Although she was the youngest, she always followed behind.

However, since her mother passed away, she hasn’t played like she used to.

Agnes sighed, “I really miss being a kid, if only we didn’t have to grow up and have so many troubles.”

Agnes seemed to remember something and lightly kicked the fire with her shoe

“Ms. Pritchard, you married the best man in the world, what troubles could you possibly have?”

Agnes turned around and glared at Jared, “Do you know how annoying it is when you’re being so narcissistic?”

“Really? I thought it would be charming.”

This man was beyond repairing from his narcissism

However, Jared’s face in the dark night seemed even brighter than the stars.

His features were perfect, without any flaws, the curve of his chin looked as if it had been carved by a knife, the laughter in his eyes was different from his usual seriousness, a bit mischievous, making hearts race,

He had just taken a shower, his hair was still slightly damp, but his face looked incredibly handsome.

He had every right to be narcissistic

Looking at him, Agnes mysteriously started to feel “jealous”, and she suddenly smeared his face with her hand.

Her hand was covered with the charcoal ash from the roasted potato, and several black marks immediately appeared on Jared’s face.

Agnes suddenly burst into laughter, pointing at Jared’s face and saying, “You look like a tabby cat, Jared you’re a tabby cat”
