Chapter 509
During dinner, Kearney asked, “Where are you staying when you get back this time? Do you need help finding a place to stay?”
Agnes just chuckled, “Nah, don’t sweat it. I’m heading back to Willowbrook Town, my home is still there
The old Pritchard family’s old house, Agnes had always kept it.
But she vanished years ago and nobody knew what the old Pritchard place looked like now.
She’s heading back to Willowbrook Town with two things in mind.
First off, she needed to find Lundy who just got out of the slammer.
Second, she wanted to bring her granny to live with her in Manhattan.
Agnes had always missed her granny fiercely, she’s the person Agnes missed the most in this world.
Over the years, Agnes had been in Manhattan while her granny still lived in the sticks.
Every month, Albert would send someone to check on Agnes’ granny and bring news of Agnes to her.
Agnes had always felt guilty about her granny
She’s always wished her granny could move to Manhattan with her, but her granny was always dead against it.
Her granny had always been in good health.
Recently though, word got out that granny took a tumble in the field. It was just some scrapes and bruises, but it made Agnes realize that her granny was getting old and needed someone to look after her.
One way or another, she was gonna convince her granny to live with her this time.
Her flight was at nine.
After a few hours of travel, she was beat.
When she finally got to Willowbrook International Airport, it was already noon.
After they landed, Kearney said to Agnes, I’m gonna grab the luggage, you wait for me in the lobby”
Agnes just nodded.
She didn’t expect to bump into Jared at the airport.
It was like some cosmic coincidence.
Just as Agnes turned around, she saw Jared staring at her.
He was standing there, not too close, not too far, like a statue.
Their eyes met, like they were gazing at each other through four years of time.
At that moment, Agnes couldn’t put her feelings into words.
In this big, wide world, people are like tiny ants.
Yet, in just half a month, Agnes crossed paths with this man twice.
It felt like destiny was an invisible hand she couldn’t control.
It seemed like fate had arranged for them to meet again after four years.
This time, Agnes didn’t avoid Jared’s gaze.
Time seemed to stand still.
People were coming and going, but Agnes felt like time had stopped.
It was like they were standing at two ends of time, like an illusion.
Jared didn’t expect to find her after looking for so long and walking that road countless times.
Just as he was about to give up, he saw that face again at the airport.
This time, he saw it clearly
The woman was Agnes.
Though her skin was a bit tanned, her hair was shorter, and she looked a lot thinner.
But Jared was sure, the woman was Agnes
She was just standing there, casually looking at her phone.
She actually came back!
Jared felt his cold heart start to pound
It was like his heart was shaking
His world suddenly faced a storm
The howling wind took everything away, as if it was going to destroy everything
1/2
Despite the flood going on in his heart, Jared’s face remained expressionless.
Except for his increasingly deep eyes, his expression didn’t change at all.
Compared to the surprise that Agnes couldn’t hide, Jared looked more like he was looking at a stranger.
