They both started to get up and dress.
Not long after, the doorbell rang again.
Agnes went to answer the door, and there stood Beatrice.
Agnes asked, "What brings you here this early?"
Beatrice was busy peeping into the room.
Upon seeing Jared, she said, "You're up already. My mom wants you to come over for breakfast, she made soup herself."
By then, Jared had made his way to the door.
He casually asked Agnes, "Can you check this button for me? It won't button up."
Agnes turned around.
Jared's shirt was on, except for the collar button.
Agnes turned back to help Jared button up, and it was done in no time.
But Jared grabbed Agnes' hand and kissed it gently, "Thanks, honey."
Seeing this, Beatrice's face darkened.
Jared then acted like he just noticed her, his voice instantly cold, "Got it. We'll be right over."
Beatrice forced a smile, "I'll be going then. Hurry up."
She left, clenching her fists.
She had initially come to witness their meltdown.
She thought the two would quarrel over Elton, but how come their relationship seemed even better after a night?
