Over the years, every time he stood by the window, he always felt lonely.
His heart felt empty.
But ever since Agnes showed up, even though he'd sometimes feel a strange heartache, he always felt like his world was finally lit up by a beam of light, filled with color, filled with the breath of life.
He always missed her.
Even though he knew every meeting would end up in endless quarrels.
But the quarrels were better than her absence.
At least she was real, not just a void existing in his memory.
Jared drove out, unknowingly ending up here.
It had been a long time since he had been here.
Even if he had to pass by, he always deliberately took a detour.
After Agnes left, Jared felt their past was very cruel to him.
The Pritchard family's villa was much different from the past.
Probably because no one had taken care of it for these four years.
The once beautiful courtyard was now overgrown with weeds.
One wall of the villa was also covered with various climbing plants.
Jared got out of the car and went in.
He found the front door of the villa was open.
He knew, Agnes must be inside.
She was still as careless as ever.
If a stranger came in, she probably wouldn't even know.
As soon as Jared entered, he saw Agnes coming downstairs.
It was evening now, she was dressed neatly, as if she was going to meet a guest.
However, she hadn't been home for four years. Kerri Bradford wasn't here, so she didn't have any friends here.
Without asking any more, Jared saw that Agnes had already left.
Then he heard the sound of a car outside.
