Chapter 311


    Jared gave a poker-faced nod.


    “So Agnes just said you guys work together, what do you do exactly?”


    Jared answered casually, “Just a regr job.”


    Mari chuckled, changing the subject, “Agnes has got a good eye. You’re clearly a very good


    person.”


    Jared didn’t seem interested in small talk, he turned to leave the room.


    Mari called out to him, “Jared, could you do me a favor?”


    Jared turned around.


    Mari gave a small smile, “There seems to be something wrong with myptop, could you take a


    look?”


    By then, Mari had picked up theptop from the desk and walked over to Jared, have to work tonight


    but myputer just froze and there are some important files on it that haven’t been backed up yet.


    Really sorry for the trouble, Jared”


    Jared furrowed his brows slightly.


    He sat down on the single-seater couch in the room, starting up theputer. The screen was ck.


    Jared tweaked a few programs and restarted theputer. In just a few minutes, theputer was


    back to normal.


    Mari had just brought over a cup of coffee, only to see that theputer was already up and


    running.


    Mari eximed in surprise, “Jared, you’re really amazing

    With that, she handed him the cup of coffee, “This is a coffee my friend brought over, give it a try.”


    Before Jared could reach for it, Mari’s hand shook and a cup of coffee spilled onto Jared’s pants.


    Mari cried out in surprise, “I’m sorry.”


    She quickly grabbed some tissues from the table and prepared to wipe Jared’s pants.


    But before her hand could touch Jared, Jared suddenly stood up and took a step back. Then he said in


    a cold tone, “Stay away from me.”


    Mari was clearly not expecting such a reaction from Jared.


    She stood there in shock, tissues still in hand.


    Just then, Agnes walked out of the bathroom after a shower and saw what happened.


    Agnes quickly went over, saying awkwardly: “Never mind, Mari He’s a neat freak and doesn’t like to


    be touched.” Agnes grabbed some tissues and wiped Jared, but he didn’t seem to care.


    Mari quicklyposed herself, giving a smallugh, “My bad, I identally spilled coffee on


    Jared.”


    Helena came upstairs and saw them all in the room. She said with a smile. “You guys shoulde


    downstairs for dinner! Agnes, your grandma’s here too.”


    Everyone went downstairs, with Agnes and Jared trailing behind.


    Agnes shot Jared a look, “You were really rude just now.”


    Jared frowned, “Your neighbor is a bit weird.”


    Agnes pinched him, “You’re the weird one. The Lairds are all very nice. It’s just a small ident. Good


    thing Mari is understanding and didn’t hold it against you.” At dinner, the Helena family was very


    weing


    Agnes grandma didn’t seem to like Jared very much, she was rather aloof,


    After dinner, her grandma and Helena were chatting in the kitchen.


    Laird invited Jared to y a game of Go


    Agnes and Man were enjoying some fruits and chatting by a small table in the yard.


    Mari said, “Agnes, did you know there’s a boat race in town tomorrow? You and Jared can’t miss out


    on such a fun event now that you’re back.”
