Agnes was completely taken aback because the man standing in front of her was Brayden Simonds!
So... so...
Kerri was the adopted daughter of the Simonds family, the one everyone in town knew about but no one had ever actually seen?
Agnes could hardly believe it.
Kerri had already walked up to Agnes, looking a little surprised she asked, "You guys know each other?"
Agnes nodded, "I went to his birthday party once with Jared."
Kerri frowned, "Let's go upstairs, don't mind him."
Halfway up, they were stopped by Brayden who looked like he'd just had a bath, wearing a grey bathrobe.
His hair was wet, and his face was somewhat stern.
He said to Kerri, "What on earth is going on?"
Kerri replied, "Brayden, Agnes is my friend, she will be staying here temporarily, it's none of your business. Also, you better not snitch or I'll toss your stuff out."
Brayden frowned, "Don't be so stubborn, you're making things difficult for me."
Brayden turned to Agnes, "Agnes, is it okay for you to spend the night outside like this? Does Jared know you're here?"
Agnes looked a bit scared, "Am I disturbing you guys? Maybe I should just go."
Agnes could tell.
Although Kerri and Brayden seemed to bicker all the time, they were husband and wife, living under the same roof.
What their relationship was exactly, was hard to say.
