Chapter 209

Obviously, the chefs at home praised her for her improved cooking skills, but why did Jared refuse to
take a bite? Today, Agnes was cooking Italian chicken soup.
She planned to bring it over to Ryder tomorrow morning
From afar, she noticed the light in Jared’s study was on again.
Jared used to come to the kitchen to check on her when he came home. But now, he would go straight
to his study and be busy until late into the night.
By the time Jared returned to his room, Agnes was already asleep.
Over the week Agnes and Jared rarely chatted.
Agnes filled a bowl with soup and camned it over to Jared’s study.
But Jared wasn’t looking at his documents.
He was standing on the small balcony of his study, smoking, lost in thought.
Agnes had no idea Jared smoked.
No wonder she noticed a faint smell of tobacco in the house these past few days.

Jared turned around.

As soon as he saw Agnes at the door, Jared immediately extinguished his cigarette and walked over.
Jared asked, “What brings you here?”

Holding the bowl of soup in her hands, Agnes said, “I cooked Italian chicken soup today, it’s really
good, try some.” Jared frowned and said, “You don’t need to bring soup here anymore, I don’t like to
eat these stuff.
There was a hint of coldness in Jared’s words that made Agnes, still holding the bowl of soup, feel
awkward.
Somewhat nervously. Agnes asked, “Did something bother you? You’ve been…”
“I want to be alone for a while.”
Before Agnes could finish, Jared cut her off.
And in his tone, Agnes felt a clear sense of impatience and irritation.
Agnes was slightly stunned, and then said, “Then remember to go to bed early” With that, Agnes left
with the bowl of soup
She didn’t even step into the study.
She walked down the long hallway
Agnes felt a bit down, even wanting to cry
But she suddenly thought she was being too sensitive.
Maybe Jared just ran into a tough problem at work.
Since she couldn’t help, she shouldn’t add to his troubles with her emotions.
Agnes held back her tears and smiled at herself.
Agnes, you need to be Jared’s sunshine, bringing him warmth and light
Thinking this, Agnes started to feel better again.
Meanwhile, in his study, Jared clenched his fist and slammed it on the desk.
His knuckles cracked loudly.
Jared had never been so troubled before, his heart feeling as if it was being bitten by a thousand ants.
He knew he had been cold and heartless to Agnes these past two days.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSeeing her trying so hard to please him only made him feel more inntated
He wasn’t even sure what was going on.
He was probably running from the problem for the first time, not daring to think too deeply about what
was wrong
The next morning, when Jared woke up, Agnes was already gone from the Whitfield Manor
Jared checked the time it was seven in the morning
Agnes should be at the hospital now
Without even having breakfast, Jared drove to the hospital
When Agnes arrived at the ward, Ryder was already awake.
Ryder’s condition had greatly improved and there were no complications.
He was just immobilized by straps and had a bit of trouble moving.
But the doctor said he could be discharged in a couple of days and would be fine with some rest at
home
When Ryder saw Agnes enter, he couldn’t help but smile slightly
But he said, “Why
