Brayden looked at Jared's expression and waved his hand, saying, "It's okay, I know you may not understand. I didn't come here to talk about my own matters. What are you planning to do about this?"
Jared's gaze turned deep. "What exactly are you referring to?"
"Don't play dumb. I just told you over the phone that your wife is currently with my wife. When do you plan on going to pick her up?"
Jared leaned against the window and fell silent for a long time. "Let's see how the situation unfolds."
"What exactly happened between you two? You used to be so in love, making us all envious. How did things change so quickly?"
Jared looked at the night scenery outside the window, with car lights flickering like stars. Standing there, his inner self was filled with loneliness.
Jared didn't respond.
There were many things he couldn't just say casually.
Brayden started advising him, "You should cherish her and make her unable to leave you. That way, she'll depend on you and won't leave. You could try going to pick her up directly, let her rest a bit, and stabilize her emotions."
Jared turned around, glanced at Brayden, and then said, "Nonsense."
A faint smirk appeared on Brayden's lips. "This isn't nonsense. It's my valuable experience."
Jared rolled his eyes.
When Brayden left, Jared still wasn't convinced by his words.
How could someone usually so brilliant be so stubborn when it came to matters of the heart?
Agnes ended up living in Kerri's villa.
It was close to their home, perhaps only a five-minute walk away.
But for Agnes, it felt like the ends of the earth.
Agnes poured all her energy into her studies, conveniently as she was busy writing her thesis and had no room for other thoughts.
