Agnes was immediately taken aback.
Jared had mentioned getting back together last night, but Agnes had made it clear that she disagreed.
However, she hadn't expected that Jared would announce it to Tim and Alyssa as soon as he got back.
Jared said he hoped they could go home together and call it quits.
Was this what Jared meant by calling it quits?
Agnes blurted out almost reflexively, "Jared, have you lost your marbles? When did I ever agree to getting back together with you?"
Jared turned around and snapped, "Shut up, I never asked for your opinion."
Agnes could feel that Jared was really fed up with her.
That repressed hatred and anger seemed like they could explode at any moment.
Jared said he didn't need her opinion and felt that this was the only way forward.
Because of Summer, canceling the wedding and getting back together with Agnes were his reluctant choices.
Agnes fired back, "Jared, you can't be so autocratic and overbearing. Getting back together is a two-person decision. If I don't agree, you'd better drop the idea now."
"Agnes, Summer is already a big boy, what do you want to do?" Jared roared uncontrollably.
Whenever Summer was mentioned, Jared would lose it.
The missing four years, filled with regrets and pain always made him lose control.
Tim and Alyssa were dumbstruck, "Is the little boy on the news your child?"
Alyssa couldn't believe it, but that dreadful sense of fate suddenly swept over her, like a pair of hands choking her.
