Chapter 722
“So you’re saying, your relationship with Kearney was all a ruse, and you were merely posing as his date tonight?”
Agnes hadn’t expected to confess so openly, but Jared seized on her admission immediately.
He’d initially assumed Agnes and Kearney were a couple.
Now, with Agnes herself declaring their engagement was a sham, was their entire relationship a farce too?
At this point, Agnes felt there was no point in hiding the truth so she told him, “I’m simply good friends with
Kearney, like siblings, and there’s no romantic involvement. Besides, he already has someone he’s interested in,
Agnes said.
A weight lifted off Jared’s chest. In reality, he knew. The way Kearney looked at Agnes was different from an
ordinary man. A man wouldn’t look at a woman he loves in such a platonic way
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtDespite his suspicions, seeing Agnes standing next to Kearney was something Jared found unbearable. Hearing the
truth straight from Agnes, Jared felt a sense of relief
Jared took a step forward, pressing on, “And what about Ryder? You claimed to be engaged to him in Manhattan,
was that false too?”
Agnes was taken aback, finding Jared relentless
Seeing the curiosity in Jared’s eyes, perhaps it was the enchanting moonlight tonight, or perhaps his intense sorrow
had affected her, Agnes decided to admit. “Yes, that was false too. My relationship with Ryder was purely
professional, as a doctor and a patient’s family member. When I ran into him in Manhattan, it was a coincidence. I
harbored resentment towards you because of Alyssa, and there was no way I could let go of that grudge and be
with him. Over the years, I’ve expended all my energy on life and treating my son. I haven’t had the time for
romance
Everything was as Jared suspected, despite all that had transpired, and despite Ryder claiming to be engaged to
Agnes, and hinting at cohabitation in Manhattan, Jared held onto his doubts.
He knew Ryder’s character. If Ryder had truly obtained something, he would be quiet about it, just like how he had
kept track of Agnes’s whereabouts over the years.
But Ryder deliberately made those announcements in public, merely to provoke him, to deepen his
misunderstanding of Agnes.
Jared understood his manipulations, because his tactics were identical to his own.
Still, emotionally, Jared found it impossible to be objective.
Every time he tried to have a serious conversation with Agnes, she was always so dismissive. But now, hearing
Agnes’s admission, Jared was so
elated he felt like he was on cloud nine.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe said she’d been too busy to date these past years. Could it mean that her love life had been a blank canvas all
this while?
Jared suppressed his joy, but couldn’t help the smile creeping onto his face.
Agnes caught a glimpse of his smug expression.
That jerk! What’s he so pleased about?
Raising her head high, Agnes retorted, “Jared, don’t think that I’ve been abstaining from dating because I can’t get
over you. I’ve been too busy with my career to have time for romance. I’ve long forgotten about you and I don’t
intend to rekindle anything with you. So let go of that idea”
Jared moved closer, kissing her again. His dominance left no room for her to resist. This was the third time Jared
had kissed her today
Agnes felt her lips were sore and swollen.
Infuriating!
