Heartstrings on Fire (Agnes and Jared) novel Chapter 186

Chapter 186 

Jared took Agnes’ hand and announced, “Yes, I’m married” 

Anna exclaimed with surprise, “But she looks so young!” 

Jared laughed and said, “I just have a thing for young, pretty girls. What’s wrong with that?” 

Agnes nearly laughed out loud. He actually said that out loud! 

Her mood brightened a lot. 

Jared always cared about her feelings. 

Alyssa chuckled, “You announce it to everyone you meet. The whole world knows you’re married now, stop bragging.” 

From start to finish, Anna and Ryder didn’t interact. 

Ever since Jared announced his marriage, Anna seemed a lot quieter. 

Ryder was like a ghost, silently eating his food. 

Agnes really loved oysters. When there was only one oyster left on the plate, both Agnes and Ryder reached for it. 

Agnes paused and withdrew her hand. Ryder took the oyster without any hesitation and put it on his plate. 

Alyssa, who was sitting beside them, saw this. 

She scolded Ryder, “How could you be so thoughtless?” 

Ryder acted as if he didn’t hear her. 

Agnes quickly said, “It’s okay, I’m Ryder’s aunt, I should let him have it.” 

Ryder’s hand paused noticeably. 

Actually, Agnes knew Ryder did it on purpose. 

When there were many oysters before, he didn’t eat any, but he just had to fight her for the last one. 

Ryder was just unhappy with her, both at school and at home. 

Agnes was really angry inside. She knew Ryder was particularly bothered by the fact that she was his aunt, so she decided to suppress him with her status as an elder. Sure enough, Ryder suddenly said, “I’m done eating, I’m going back to my room.” 

After finishing his sentence, he got up and left. 

Actually, this was not the first time this had happened. Many times before, as long as she was present, Ryder would leave early. The fact that he stayed until the end of dinner today was already quite rare. 

The Whitfield family all thought that Ryder was just going through puberty, so they didn’t pay much attention to it. 

After dinner-Wallace and Tim were chatting in the study. 

Anna took Agnes to chat in the yard. 

Jared went upstairs to Ryder’s room. 

Ryder was in his room writing a report.
