Chapter 511
Jared finally gave up after days of compromise and struggling Just like a junkle who finally loses to his own addiction and epitala into the abyss And Agnes was that drug for Jated day by day she rattled his nerves and crusted his willpower
She totally wrecked his inner world
And there she was casually saying. “Long time no seet
Just like a regular friend
It had indeed been a long time
Four years, five months and twenty-three days to be exact!
Jared had often wondered what he would do if he ever saw Agnes again
He had thought he would confront her ask her why she was so cruel, why she had to make him suffer so much and drag him into the depths of despair But at this moment, Jared realized something.
He was the only one in pain, he was the only one being tormented in hell
All this seemed to mean nothing to Agnes.
She was still able to laugh so brightly
She was still living under the sun, so full of life, carefree.
While he was shrouded in a dark cloud.
Jared didn’t say anything, just quietly watched Agnes.
He couldn’t bring himself to say a casual “Long time no see”
He couldn’t make small talk with the woman who had vanished from his life four year ago.
Agnes felt a bit awkward
Jared’s gaze was sharp and cold, like an icy dagger, its blade emitting a chill.
To ease the awkwardness, Agnes asked again, “Are you okay? You still look the same as four years ago.”
Now, each word she spoke required courage.
Talking to Jared was too difficult.
The cold aura he exuded made her feel as if she was in an icehouse.
Maybe she should just turn around and leave.
But her inner stubbomness didn’t let her do that.
Agnes, Jared is your inner demon!
If you let him completely defeat you from the very beginning, this man would be a shackle binding you forever.
So, there stood Agnes, in front of Jared, forcing a smile.
Every word she uttered was a battle for her.
Jared still didn’t respond, his gaze colder than ever.
Agnes just maintained her smile, her face calm.
Finally, Jared spoke, “Who are you?”
The smile on Agnes’s face froze.
Did Jared not remember her?
Could four years erase her completely?
When she was walking towards Jared, she had thought about how he would react
Jared was a gentleman, always with a touch of elegance
Even if it was pretense, Agnes thought Jared would politely exchange a few words
