Chapter 401

Agnes suddenly found herself reminiscing about that morning they first got intimate.

When she opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was his face

In that moment, her mind went completely blank

It felt like she had suddenly wandered into an animated world

And her first reaction in that situation was, “How the hell could a guy be this hot?”

Agnes softly traced the line of Jared’s eyebrows. Asleep, he looked serene, almost childlike. But she knew that

behind those closed lids were eyes profound and perceptive. His nose was perfectly sculpted, and his lips, with their

slight curve, were alluring. As Agnes studied his features, she wished she could memorize every detail

She never expected that someone as unremarkable as her would have a whirlwind experience like an unexpected

marriage. Initially, the simply accepted the union as fate, but with time, she recognized her deep seated love for

Jared. She dreamed of a lifetime together raising children and growing old by his side.

But little did she know the upheaval looming ahead. That Christmas Eve would become her most haunting memory.

The Whitfield’s ancestral home was aglow with lights. The yard was adorned with twinkling colored lights, all thanks

to Alyssa’s handiwork. The Whitfields, although few in number, adored festive gatherings. Each New Year saw them

decorating their home with great care

Ryder Whitfield had returned as well. He lounged in the living room, engrossed in the TV. On seeing Jared and Agnes

enter, he acknowledged only Jared.

The couple headed straight to Tim’s study. Tim was engrossed in a phone call. The conversation was tense.

“There’s no negotiation here. Ryder is my grandson, and he’s not connected to the Thomas family in any way, Tim

said firmly before hanging up. Yet, even after disconnecting the call, his anger was palpable, his hands trembled

with emotion.

Jared immediately went over, patting Tim’s back, ‘Did the Thomas family call again? They really don’t give up, a call

a year, probably for twenty years already. right?

But Tim just snorted, “He’s already divorced, Ryder is with the Whitfields now, what does he have to do with the

Thomas family? Cilian Thomas may be nicher than the Whitfields, but were the things he did back then even

human? He wants my forgiveness, not in a million years. He even said he wants Ryder to return to the Thomas

family, pure bullshit.”

Agnes was completely lost by the side.

But she got the gist

This was probably something to do with Ryder.

And she heard the name Cilian.

Could it be that Cilian was the Asian tycoon?

Ryder’s biological father?

Alyssa’s ex-husband?

Though Agnes wasn’t clear about the past generation’s grudges, she guessed it must have been complicated.

Alyssa was Cilian’s second wife, Cilian had two sons with his ex-wife, Raleign and Kevin Thomas

The two frequently made their appearances in entertainment news and gossip columns.

Raleign was a playboy, changing girlfriends more often than his clothes, it was rumored that he had relationships

with half the young models in the industry.

And Kevin was even more special, he wasn’t into girls, but boys.

He once proposed to Justin on the big screen in Times Square, a story that people still love to talk about.
