Love After Leaving: No Regret (Agnes and Raymond) novel Chapter 225

Chapter 225 A Quiet Detail

Rita thanked Agnes while pouring her a glass of water.

But she wasn’t careful, and the glass slipped from her hand, crashing loudly onto the floor.

Agnes immediately stood up to help, while Rita laughed at herself, “Ugh, these hands of mine. Ever since i

got bitten by that snake last time, it’s been numb. I can’t really use any strength.”

Agnes patted her and comforted her, “It’s okay. It should get better after a while.”

Rita raised her right index finger. “Look, Agnes, there’s still this tiny black hole on my finger.

“That snake venom was no joke. It’s been this long, and the mark’s still there.

“Come to think of it, it’s weird. How did that snake only have one tooth? Hahaha.”

Hearing that, Agnes walked over, took Rita’s hand, and examined it carefully.

There really was only one small, slightly dark purplish puncture mark.

And the hole was extremely tiny.

All of a sudden, a flood of strange thoughts rushed through Agnes’s mind.

She gently set Rita’s hand down and reassured her, “It’s fine. Look, it’s already much better than before. It’s still healing. Just take it slow.”

After leaving Rita’s place, Agnes went to Tidewhisper Lily studio.

Carrying several bags, she walked in and said to everyone, “Everyone, take a break from what you’re doing. Come have something to eat and rest for a bit.”

“Wow, Agnes, you actually went out to buy food yourself? You could’ve just ordered delivery.”

Agnes said, “Today is the first day Tidewhisper Lily reopens. Of course, I wanted to make it a little special.

“I’ve booked a private room at the Greenford Hotel. We’ll celebrate properly tonight.”

“Yay!”

“What did you bring for us, Agnes?”

Agnes smiled. “I just passed by a new shop and picked up some coffee and pastries. Come try them.”

As everyone drank coffee and ate pastries, they chatted about Polly.

Some felt regret, others said she got what she deserved.

Then the conversation shifted to Verdant Bloom. Apparently, the newly opened shop was already deserted.

Agnes sat in her office, her attention not on the noisy chatter outside, but on something else entirely.

Chapter 225 A Quiet Detail

After a while, she walked out and said to Nadia, “Nadia, that gown for Mrs. Rios, are we delivering it today?”

Nadia set down her pastry and said, “Yeah, I’ve already arranged to meet Mrs. Rios. I’m heading out soon.

Agnes said, “Perfect. I have something to do too. I’ll drop you off on the way.”

Nadia said, “Oh, wow, perfect timing, Agnes! I was just thinking about calling a ride.

“At this hour, it’s always hard to get one.

“Now I get to hitch a ride in Agnes’s luxury car.

“Let me experience the life of the rich, haha.”

Everyone burst into laughter. Ever since Nadia joined the studio, the whole team had become livelier.

She was warm, funny, and responsible at work. Everyone saw her as the team’s mood-lifter.

And when Tidewhisper Lily was shut down, she had firmly chosen to stay.

So everyone trusted and liked her even more.

Agnes smiled. “Work hard, and one day, you’ll all be rich ladies too.”

Nadia said, “I sure hope so! Please, please, let me get rich soon.

“When that day comes, I’m gonna keep ten-no, a hundred muscular guys, and another hundred pretty boys, hehe.”

The room erupted in laughter again. Agnes laughed too, and a certain figure surfaced in her mind.

Back then, she used to say things like that to herself all the time.

Nadia picked up the gift box and followed Agnes out, when a luxurious red sports car came into view.

Her eyes instantly widened as she circled the car several times.

“Wow, Agnes, this car… It’s way too cool!”

Agnes smiled faintly. “Get in.”

Nadia opened the door, then froze. “Who…”

In the back seat, there was an older woman holdin

a little girl.

The girl looked very young, about preschool age, and her clothes were dirty.

The woman holding her saw Agnes and quickly smiled. Ms. Sinclair, it’s time to take Ethlyn to preschool.”

Nadia asked shakily, “Agnes…is this your daughter?”

Agnes said, “Yeah, but not biological. I adopted her.”
