Chapter 414
Tears welled up in Agnes‘ eyes.
She kept whispering, “Mom, I’m sorry, I’m so sorry..
Before long, Agnes fell asleep.
The next day. Kerri came to see Agnes early in the morning, wanting to take her out for some fun
But Agnes wasn’t really in the mood.
Nevertheless, she was dragged to the amusement park by Kerri.
Brayden insisted on tagging along too
Agnes was now a public figure.
Whenever she showed up in public, she would always draw a lot of attention.
But luckily, the amusement park was hosting a “Masquerade Carnival‘ that day. Every visitor would be given a mask as a small gift by the staff upon their entry.

Brayden was actually probing on purpose.
Since he’d brought it up, he decided to ask, “I’d vouch for Jared’s character any day. His love for you is genuine. We guys always joke that Jared used to be a cold and ruthless man, but now he’s totally whipped. But in reality, we’re all envious of him for finding a woman he loves so much.
