Chapter 322
Agnes suddenly had a bold idea.
She grabbed Jared’s arm and said, “Let’s secretly eavesdrop on Grandma, okay?”
Jared frowned, “That’s not appropriate, I refuse”
Jared was an upright person, and even with Agnes pulling at him, he didn’t want to.
“Then you can go back. I’ll go alone,” Agnes said.
With that, Agnes ran away, and Jared was really gone. In the back mountain, there was a large jujube tree with lush
branches covered in winter jujubes.
Agnes hid behind the tree.
She overheard her grandma still chattering away, “Julia, I think Jared’s a good kid. At first, I thought he looked quite

few days, I deliberately had him help me with so many things, and that young man didn’t utter a single complaint.
He’s very meticulous in his work, I see how caring he is towards Agnes, and you can rest assured.”
Agnes heard everything Grandma said and felt extremely happy.
So, it turned out that Grandma didn’t dislike Jared after all.
These past few days of making him do physical labor were just a test.
Agnes was ecstatic and couldn’t wait to tell Jared the good news.
As she turned to leave, she heard Grandma sigh as if in sorrow, “Child, why were you so desperate to take pills and
end your life back then? Do you know how heartbroken I’ve been all these years just thinking about it? If you were

insisted on marrying him, and as a result, you left us. How could you bear to leave me? I raised you since you were
little. You were my
life”
As Agnes’ Grandma said this, her tears began to flow.
“In the end, it was my inability. Even though that man betrayed you, as an old woman, I didn’t have the capability to
take care of Agnes. I could only let her stay in that house, where his affair with that woman disheartened you and
choose to end your life. Poor Agnes spent so many years there. I don’t know if she suffered any grievances
She continued to cry, but a trace of contentment appeared on her face. “Luckily, she’s got a good husband now,

Her grandma talked a lot in front of the tomb.
Agnes, standing behind the jujube tree, was completely stiff.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDid her Grandma just say that her mother’s death was a suicide? Agnes never knew her mother committed suicide.
Her memories of that time were somewhat blurry because she knew her mother was hospitalized in her final days.
Dad said her mother was in poor health, so she couldn’t always disturb her mother.
However, every few days, Agnes would visit her mother in the hospital. During those times, her mother would try
her best to support herself and tell Agnes stories, and Dad was very considerate back then.
In fact, over the years, even though Dad remarried quickly, and Agnes knew he had affairs within the marriage, she
still couldn’t let go of some feelings.
Yet, whenever Agnes thought of her mother’s serious illness, the last days spent in the hospital, and Dad’s
meticulous care for her during that time, she felt
somewhat comforted.
She believed Dad still deeply loved her mother. He was just a little unfaithful, that’s all,
That had been Agnes’s belief all along
