Chapter 202
Agnes knelt down and said worriedly; “Ryder, are you okay?”
Ryder was still shaking all over.
Agnes was pondering how to handle this situation. She probably shouldn’t have done it this way
Agnes said, “I’ll turn on the light, might make things better.”
“Don’t go.”
Before Agnes could stand up, her hand was seized by Ryder.
He didn’t lift his head, still in a curled posture, but his hand was tightly holding onto Agnes’s hand.
Agnes could only silently sit back in her spot, saying, 1 won’t go
She had no idea how much time passed like this.
All Agnes knew was that her hand, gripped by Ryder, was numb.
But Agnes also gradually felt Ryder’s trembling ease.
Finally, Ryder let go of her, raising his head.

But she still asked Ryder with concern, ‘Are you feeling better?”
Ryder’s face was gradually returning to normal. Looking at Agnes’s pale hand, he said apologetically,
“I’m sorry”
Agnes was startled for a moment, and then shook her hand, laughed and said, “It’s okay, it’ll be fine in
a bit.”
Ryder said, “Let’s go home.”
Agnes checked her watch, it was already nine o’clock.
They rode home together,
They entered the house one after the other, and happened to meet Alyssa when they changed their
shoes. Alyssa asked, “You two came back together?”
And came back so late.
Agnes said, “Ryder and I were rehearsing a play for a school performance, we just finished”
The moment Agnes mentioned ‘Ryder, Ryder paused while he was changing his shoes.
Alyssa was surprised and unbelievingly asked Ryder, “Really? You actually participated in a drama?”
She knew her son disliked crowded places. He’d never participated in any performance since he was
little.
Ryder answered perfunctorily, then coldly said, Tm going upstairs first”
When Ryder was going upstairs, Jared was coming down.
Upon seeing him, Agnes rushed over.
She ran too fast and almost tripped, but was caught by Jared.
Jared gently said, “How can you still be so clumsy like a child, watch your steps.
Agnes snuggled into his arms and whispered, “I missed you”
The words made Jared happy. He laughed, pinched Agnes’s cheek, and gave her a peck on the lips.
They were at the corner of the staircase, out of sight.
But Ryder wasn’t far away

Ryder’s eyes darkened.
He quickly returned to his room.
Jared brushed the bangs off Agnes’s forehead, softly asking, “Why so late today?”
– told you before, I’m rehearsing a play now.
“How about I pick you up at night?”
performed in ten days, I’ll be coming home late these days.”
“No need, your nephew is here, what are you worried about? He’s rehearsing with me.”
Jared nodded, “Then I need to remind him to take good care of you”
Agnes smiled. The feeling of being the elder of someone older than herself was a bit strange Jared
asked, “Are you hungry?”,
Agnes whined, Tm starving, I haven’t had dinner, can you make me something?
Jared laughed, “Sure!”
Agnes suddenly remembered, “Oh, Ryder hasn’t had dinner either, can you make him something too?
