Chapter 204


    Even when they’re under the spotlight of the camera, they keep their cool.


    But they don’t totally lose control, even if they restrained themselves a little, others would be able to


    notice.


    All members were very happy. As the days rolled by the school celebration was just around the corner.


    For thest few days, Agnes and Ryder had been practicing even after they got home.


    Sometimes they’d be upte into the night rehearsing.


    They’d practice on the little balcony of the sunroom on the second floor.


    This spot happens to be next to Jared’s study.


    Sometimes, Jared would purposely leave his French doors open so he could overhear their lines.


    Sometimes, Ryder would scold Agnes when she mispronounced her lines. Sometimes, he could even


    hear them bickering and horsing around.


    Surprisingly, Jared even heard Ryderugh.


    Ryder’s always been a bit of a loner, rarely everughing out loud.


    But just in these few days, Jared’s heard himugh three times.


    Jared got up and headed towards the balcony


    The two on the other side have finished rehearsing and were discussing the details of a line


    Their heads were close together, in a bit of a disagreement over a line.


    But even though they’re arguing, there’s a slight smile on Ryder’s face, like he’s purposely teasing


    Agnes.


    Agnes, on the other hand, was debating seriously.


    Jared’s steps paused slightly.


    When Agnes looked up and saw Jared, she immediately got up and ran over, grabbing Jared’s arm and


    grinning from ear to ear, “What brings you here? Are we being too loud and disturbing you?”


    Jared shook his head, “Nah, I just thought I’d drop by and see how you guys are doing.”


    Agnes said. “Great, how about we show you what we’ve got?”


    But Ryder’s already stood up and walked over, his face back to its usual coolness, “I’ll take a break


    first.”


    After saying this, he left the balcony.


    Agnes rolled her eyes, “He’s such a party pooper.”


    Then, she added, “Maybe he’s just shy, he idolizes you and might be nervous.”


    Jared chuckled.


    Suddenly. Agnes looked up at him, saying with anticipation: “Our school celebration is in three days,


    can youe and watch me perform?”


    Jared pretended to frown, “I have a business trip tomorrow, not sure if I can make it back in time.”


    Jared watched as Agnes face fell from hopeful to disappointed


    This little girl changed expressions so fast.


    Suddenly Jared pinched her cheek, Alright, I’ll go. I’ll be back a day early, I’ll definitely be there to


    support you”


    Agnes immediately brightened, “Our performance starts at 3 in the afternoon, its the final act of the


    celebration, don’t forget, okay?”


    The next day, Jared left for his business trip


    He tried to cut the trip short and managed to catch the flight home the night before the school


    celebration.


    Earber, he had told Agnes over the phone that he might not be able to make it back that night.


    Agnes was slightly disappointed.


    However, Jared arrived at the Whitfield Manor at 9:30 that night.

    Imagining the bright smile on Agnes’ face when she saw him, Jared’s heart was filled with warmth for


    some reason.


    It’s only been two days, but he missed her deeply.


    When the butler opened the door and saw Jared. he’s surprised, “Mr Whatfield, arent you supposed to


    be flying back tomorrow?”


    Jared casually replied, “I changed my ns, where’s Agnes?”


    “Mrs Whitfield and Mr. Ryder were rehearsing their y on the balcony. They should still be there.”


    Jared headed up the stairs, directly towards the balcony.
