Jared was actually standing not far from her side, with Valeria standing by his side, and they seemed to be in conversation.
Jared was slightly turned, still in a conversational pose, but his gaze had long since cooled.
One in the light, one in the dark, they confronted each other silently...
But soon, Agnes had shifted her gaze, because Kearney was calmly walking towards her.
This was a play, and she was the leading lady.
She had to perform with Kearney because she had agreed to do so.
Agnes had already set her eyes on Kearney.
Kearney's steps were steady, and he had just removed his trench coat. Underneath was a white shirt and black trousers.
He was wearing glasses, his face warm and gentle.
Step by step, he walked up to Agnes. The distance of only a dozen meters, to Agnes, felt like an eternity.
Though she had been married before, she had never been proposed to in her life. The image of Kearney walking towards her, for a moment, Agnes saw him as Jared.
If Jared had proposed to her back then, would he have been just as dashing?
Agnes clenched her fingers. She felt the need to completely rid Jared from her mind at this moment.
She didn't want to mess up this play. After all, she used to be an actress.
Excitement flashed across Agnes' face. Tears quickly filled her eyes, she was in character...
