When Agnes walked in, Jared and Alyssa were in the living room having a chat.
Seeing Agnes come in all drenched, they asked, "Agnes, what happened to you?"
Agnes laughed and said, "Just gave Oscar a bath, ended up soaked. I'm heading upstairs to change clothes."
With that, Agnes headed upstairs.
After a while, Ryder also came in all wet, still holding Oscar by the hand.
Alyssa remarked, "So they both bathed Oscar together? It seems like their relationship has improved."
Jared chuckled, "I'm heading upstairs."
Agnes’s clothes were wet, so she decided to take a shower when she got to her room.
When she came out of the bathroom, she ran into Jared.
Jared sat on the edge of the bed, patting the spot next to him, "Come here."
As Agnes toweled her hair, she walked over and sat next to Jared.
Jared naturally took the towel from Agnes and helped her dry her hair.
Agnes leaned comfortably against his shoulder, like a little kitten.
Jared asked, "You and Ryder made up?"
At this, Agnes's eyes lit up.
She told Jared about the school play competition and the wager.
Finally, Agnes said, "He was really reliable when it mattered, but it's all because he respects you, so the person I should be thanking is you."
Agnes snuggled in Jared's arms.
Jared felt that this girl was different from before.
He could feel that before, she was a bit scared of him, not daring to look him in the eye when she spoke.
