Chapter 215
Suddenly, the garden became so quiet it was deafening. Agnes furrowed her brow at Jared.
What on earth was Jared talking about?
She had never brought up the topic of the car. Why was he saying all this?
Ryder stayed silent for a while, and just said lightly: “thanks“.
Then Jared spoke again, “It’s been a while, and I don’t think I’ve ever seen you regard Agnes as your aunt. Do you think that Agnes is not from our family?”
Agnes finally understood that Jared was forcing Ryder, so he said what he said just now on purpose. This made Agnes very angry. Firstly, Jared knew damn well that Ryder was older than her and they were classmates. She disliked pressing him as a relative.
This was the reason for their estrangement before, and now that their relationship was a little better, Jared brought up the subject again, Secondly, Agnes knew Jared was just trying to remind her that she and Ryder were now family. She should always keep her distance from him.
The words seemed to be directed at Ryder, but they were probably meant for her.
Jared still didn’t trust her!! Anger ignited in Agnes‘ heart! Jared’s gaze, however, was fixed on Ryder.
His words were far from confrontational, even accompanied by a faint smile.
But Ryder was as indifferent as an ice sculpture, he stood there quietly without speaking. “Why won’t you talk to Agnes?” Jared asked nonchalantly.
Ryder remained silent, his expression unreadable.
But after spending some time together, Agnes had gotten to know him.
This boy was the same as Jared, the more expressionless and calm he was, the more agitated his heart was. They didn’t easily express emotions on their expressions, but it didn’t mean they were emotionless.
From Agnes‘ point of view, Jared was bullying Ryder by doing this. He clearly knew Ryder’s character, and he also knew that Ryder cared about her identity. He already felt that he was not valued at home, his mother and grandfather only loved Jared, and now Agnes suddenly came. However, Jared was still forcing him, forcing him to accept the fact that Agnes was his elder, that is, forcing him to lower his status in this family by another level. For Ryder, it was brutal! Ryder still refused to speak or even meet Jared’s gaze.
He just lowered his head and pinched the car key box with his fingers. “Why won’t you accept it? Have you never acknowledged Agnes as your aunt in your heart? Ryder, what are you thinking?”
“Enough, Jared! You’ve gone too far!” Agnes said suddenly.
Agnes felt that it was too much to bear. He doubted her, and now he doubted Ryder. What a cold man Ryder was, didn’t he know that? It was originally a completely fabricated thing, but he wanted to let everyone know, make everyone felt dissatisfied? How would she face Ryder, how would she face everyone in the family?
Jared’s gaze darkened, his expression turning icy.
Agnes shoved Jared aside and turned straight into the house.
Jared stood there for a moment, then turned and entered the house too. Only Ryder was left standing where he was, staring at the bright
light in the room, and Jared catching up with Agnes’s back…
