Chapter 312

A few kilometers from Foxglove Village, there’s this place called Starfall Village.

The town was surrounded by water on three sides, with some of the houses even built directly on the water. To get

around, people had to boat it.

Every year, just before the end of the year, Starfall Village hosted a boat race.

The boat race was the most popular event of the year, so people from many surrounding villages were attracted to

come here. And there were plenty of other fun activities happening around the same time.

Right in the thick of it all, Agnes agreed without hesitation.

On one hand, she thought it was a rare opportunity. Since she was back in town during this big bash, she could also

take Jared to experience it.

On the other hand, Agnes knew her grandma well enough to know that if they were home tomorrow, she’d find all

kinds of ways to rope Jared into doing chores. Jared had only been back for two days and he’d already done a ton

of manual labor.

If the Whitfield family found out, they’d feel sorry for him.

After hanging out at Mariela’s for a bit, they headed home.

Once home, Grandma had Jared off doing something else.

Agnes felt more and more glad that tomorrow they were going out to have fun. In the morning, Agnes woke Jared

up.

Her grandma was out in the fields early.

Agnes hurried Jared along, saying, “Get up quick, or we won’t be able to slip out before Grandma gets back.”

Jared looked surprised, “Where are you going?”

Agnes suddenly realized she completely forgot to tell him about it, since she was totally bowled over when she got

home yesterday. Agnes excitedly said. “I’m taking you somewhere cool today. This way, Grandma can’t ask you to

do all kinds of hard work anymore.”

Jared looked at the excited and mysterious Agnes. She seemed like a kid.

So he asked, “Where are you taking me?”

Agnes replied, “Don’t worry, you’ll see when we get there. I promise it Ill be fun.”

Before her Grandma got back, Agnes and Jared had a quick breakfast and set off

Jared was going to drive, but Mariela’s red Benz was parked right outside their house

Manela got out of the car and said, “Agnes, Jared, ride with me No need to take two cars, the town’s crowded today

and probably there is no place to park.”

Jared was initially excited, but his brows furrowed when he saw the red Benz.

But Agnes had already agreed to Mariela. She grabbed Jared by the arm and headed for the car

Jared asked in a deep voice, “What’s going on?”

Agnes laughed and said: “Mariela is coming with us. It’s a little more crowded, and we get a free ride” Soon after,

Jared was pulled into the car by Agnes. Mariela started the car.

The whole way, Jared was silent. Agnes felt something was off.

He was excited just now. Why did he suddenly clam up?

In the back seat, Agnes tried to cheer him up by squeezing his hand and leaning over to coo at him.

But Jared seemed out of it

Finally, Agnes asked in a soft voice, “Why do you seem a bit down?”

Jared glanced at Agnes but didn’t say anything.

Manela heard this from the front seat. She’d been keeping an eye on the two in the rearview mirror.

Mariela joked, “Jared, are you upset because I’m cramping your private time with Agnes?”
