Chapter 227
Agnes was usually the quiet one, so her sudden rebuttal took everyone by surprise
Laura awkwardly laughed it off. “Why are you suddenly butting heads with me? Jared is, of course, family”
Preston quickly interjected. “Let’s all sit down and have dinner Agnes, please, take a seat
Jared just watched Agnes from the sidelines
He was seated at the night of the host, Preston.
And Beatrice had no qualms about taking the seat on the left.
Preston chided, “Heatrice, don’t be so thoughtless. That seat should be for Agnes.”
Beatrice retorted. “This has always been my spot. I’m used to sitting here”
Agnes said nothing and took the seat farthest from Jared
She didn’t even look at him.
She didn’t understand why he had stormed off yesterday and then showed up out of the blue today.
What was he here for?
Laura quickly changed the subject, “Let’s enjoy the meal. Jared, I made this salmon especially for you. I chatted with Agnes before, and she mentioned that this is your favonte”.
Jared replied indifferently. “Thank you, Ms. Laura.”
Laura’s expression faltered when she heard him call her Ms Laura
He regarded Preston as his father-in-law, but he still called her Ms Laura.
Just because Agnes refused to call her mom, he followed suit
Agnes just quietly ate her food, unbothered by the drama.
Jared spent the dinner chatting with Preston, discussing stocks, financing, and real estate prices.
Beatrice kept interrupting, but her comments were often ridiculous.
Laura served another dish, roasted lobster.
The crustacean’s shell was hard and prickly, making it difficult to peel, but it was Beatrice’s favorite dish.
She pricked her finger while peeling the lobster, drawing blood
Beatrice held out her finger to Jared, “Look, I pricked my finger”
Jared replied nonchalantly, “Put a band-aid on it.”
Beatrice giggled. “Thanks for your concern.”
And then Jared started peeling the lobster
He chatted with Preston while effortlessly peeling the lobster.
Beatrice thought Jared’s movements were graceful. His long fingers, his unhurried movements gave off an indescribable relaxed aura. The peeled lobster went into a new plate glistening and translucent, and Jared’s fingers remained oil-free.
Beatrice couldn’t contain her happiness when she mentioned her pricked finger, and Jared took it upon himself to peel the lobster for her. A sense of anticipation welled up inside her, and the feeling only grew stronger as time passed. After a while, Jared stopped, wiped his hands with a wet napkin, and naturally handed the plate to Beatrice It was meant for her, and she was overjoyed, eager to reach out and savor the dish
“Thank you Beatrice started to say, but her words were cut short as Jared said nonchalantly. “Give it to Agnes”
In an instant, Beatrice’s face turned pale
But Jared gave her a polite smile, “Thank you”
Beatrice managed a strained smile, “Sure”
Saying that, she got up and camed the plate over to Agnes.
Despite trying to control herself, she still slammed the plate down in front of Agnes her voice dripping with sarcasm, “Agnes, Jared is so considerate, night? You’re so lucky.”
