Chapter 447
Just then, footsteps were heard outside,
Ivan was back.
“Go to the dining room first,” Agnes told Mamie, “I’ll make one more dish and then we can have dinner.”
Mamie left.
Agnes quickly made some fries and headed straight to the dining room.
“Dinner’s ready,” Agnes said with a smile.
But when she saw another person in the dining room, she stopped in her tracks.
Jared was standing at the doorway, holding a bottle of wine.
Mamie had already set the table. “Jared, come on over. The food’s made by Agnes, you’re really lucky. Your wife is a star, makes money, and can cook. You better be good to her, or tons of people would be eyeing your spot.”
Jared gave a small smile. “I will.”
Then he entered the room.
Agnes immediately avoided Jared’s gaze.
She wasn’t a good actress, so she couldn’t act that nothing had happened.
She didn’t know whether Ivan had planned this or it was just an accident.
But Mamie was clueless.
During dinner, Agnes and Jared didn’t communicate. She directly asked, “Did you two have a fight?”
“No,” Jared said faintly.
“We didn’t fight, we’re just getting a divorce,” Agnes replied.
Ivan frowned, but Mamie was so shocked she dropped her cutlery.
“You’re joking, right?” Mamie asked cautiously.
In the past, whenever Agnes mentioned divorce, Jared would get angry.
But now he seemed to be used to it.
He picked up a piece of meat and gently placed it in Agnes‘ bowl.
Then he told Mamie with a smile, “She’s just joking.”
But Mamie wasn’t relieved.
Agnes immediately put down her cutlery. “Jared, I’m not joking with you. If you refuse to divorce with me, I’ll go to the court to sue. Even if you don’t defend or show up, as long as I get the divorce verdict, it doesn’t matter if you refuse or not
Jared slammed his cutlery down. “You can sue all you want. See if any lawyer will take your case and get a divorce verdict.”
He sneered, “In this lifetime, you can’t leave me anymore.”
Whenever this topic came up, they could never reach an agreement.
Agnes was also angry. “Jared, do you find this fun?”
“I find it extremely fun.”
“You’re being totally unreasonable.”
“As long as you know. From now on, don’t mention divorce again. It’s non–negotiable,”
Agnes got up and left the dining room.
Mamie and Ivan exchanged looks, then followed her out.
Jared was also fuming.
Ivan opened a bottle of wine and got Jared some.
Without giving it a glance, Jared downed it in one gulp.
“This is a vintage from ’92. It hurts to see you drink like this,” Ivan remarked.
“Don’t forget who brought this wine,” Jared replied coldly.
Ivan chuckled lightly.
The man was in such a bad mood he was nitpicking about everything.
Ivan continued pouring him wine. “Why don’t you tell her that Nova Media is your company? You were the one who helped Starlight International Group weather the storm. It was you who extended the helping hand. Despite spending your money and effort, you let me reap all the benefits. If Agnes knew it was you who was helping her in the background all along, she might be moved.”
Jared sighed. “If she knew it was me, I bet she’d rather let Starlight International Group go bankrupt than accept my help.”
Ivan frowned. “I’ve always forgotten to ask you why things between you two turned out like this. Is there really no solution?”
Jared sighed again but didn’t say anything.
He didn’t want to talk about his sister’s past.
Even though it had been a decade since, it still remained the biggest problem in his life.
On the other hand, things with Alyssa weren’t looking good either.
She was always down and would occasionally urge him to get a divorce.
“Enough talk, drink with me,” Jared sighed.
Ivan felt helpless. “If you guys had a kid now, things would be much simpler.”
Ivan and Jared suddenly brightened up and exchanged a knowing look,
