Chapter 10


    Jared was taking a shower, while Agnes was busy packing her stuff. But while changing clothes, she


    noticed that her chest and neck were all covered with Jared’s love bites.


    This guy….


    Agnes reluctantly put on a turtleneck that she had never worn before.


    When Jared came out, he saw Agnes in a yellow turtleneck, looking absolutely adorable. Her hair was


    tied into a simple ponytail, revealing a smooth forehead, and there was a blush on her cheeks.


    Jared walked over, deliberately asking, “Why did you suddenly change clothes? Don’t you dislike


    turtlenecks? You said they make your neck ufortable?”


    He knew the reason very well; he was such a jerk!


    Agnes rolled her eyes at Jared.


    Jared had tough inside. When they first moved in together, Agnes was like a little bird, tiptoeing


    every step. Now she had the nerve to roll her eyes at him. He considered it good progress; it meant


    she trusted him more.

    Jared drove Agnes back to the Pritchard Mansion himself.


    After getting out of the car, Jared left.


    When Agnes entered the door, the nanny Carmen weed her, “Ms. Pritchard, you’re finally back.“”


    Agnes asked, “Carmen, where’s my dad?”


    “Mr. Pritchard hasn’te back yet, but Mrs. Pritchard is at home. She cooked tonight’s meal herself.”


    Agnes nodded and then went upstairs.


    Just as Agnes was about to enter her room, the door of the room opposite was opened, “You’re finally


    back, I thought you wouldn’t evere back.”


    It was Agnes‘ half–sister Beatrice.


    Beatrice, a senior in high school this year, had curly hair, wore exquisite makeup and red lipstick,


    dressed sexier than her age, and had various patterns on her nails. Standing next to the unmade–up


    Agnes, she made Agnes look even younger.


    Agnes and her sister didn’t get along well, and she was so used to her provocations.


    While opening the door, Agnes casually replied, “Have you finished your homework? You’re taking the


    college exam this year, right?


    After Agnes opened the door and entered the room, Beatrice walked straight in, asking, Who was the


    guy who just dropped you off? That wasn’t Elton’s car, did you guys break up?”


    Agnes replied, “It’s none of your business.”


    Mentioning Elton, Agnes‘ face darkened.


    Beatrice, however, began to gloat, “I guessed right, didn’t I? I told you, sooner orter, Elton would find


    you boring and dump you. Agnes, when did Elton break up with you?” Agnes was furious, pointing to


    the door, “Beatrice, get out of my room!”


    “Agnes, who do you think you are? You dare to kicking me out. This is my house, you’re just a burden


    here. I’ll have you know; Dad has already agreed to take me and mom to Maldives for a vacation after


    my exams, just the three of us. Agnes, why did youe back? You’re really just an extra here.”


    “Beatrice, enough.”


    Laura walked in, sternly told Beatrice, “How can you talk to your sister like that? Get out!”


    Reluctantly, Beatrice left the room. Laura sat next to Agnes, took her hand, and said, “Beatrice is still


    young and naive, don’t take her words to heart.”
