Chapter 171
Right now, Agnes just wanted to find a place to hide. She had zero memory of what Jared had told her,
but there were some things she couldn’t just spill out. She was a lightweight when it came to drinking,
and she wasn’t a pleasant drunk. On top of that, she had ten years of taekwondo under her belt, so she
was strong. What Jared said wasn’t entirely out of the question. Agnes was so embarrassed she totally
forgot what she was originally talking about. She thought they were both drunk that day, so that’s
why…
Suddenly, Agnes remembered something. She asked, “Aren’t you the one who can’t get drunk?”
Brayden had just mentioned that Jared could hold his liquor. He’d just downed a bottle of hard liquor
and was totally fine now. Meanwhile, Mamie was acting out after just two sips, showing how strong that
stuff was.
Jared nodded, “Indeed, I can hold my liquor pretty well.”
Agnes asked, “Then how did you get drunk at that dinner with Director Zoe?”
M
That time Jared, as an investor, had gotten drunk at a dinner. Ivar ended up dumping him on her. In the
end, Agnes had to book a room at the hotel.
At that time, Agnes was mad at Jared because of his relationship with Mamie, but that day, Jared
ended up having the upper hand.
Jared said casually, “Agnes, they say some people are born with a worm inside them, so they don’t get
drunk. But sometimes the worm needs to rest. That day, the worm inside me happened to be resting.”
Agnes was confused, thinking about what kind of worm he was talking about. When she turned her
head and saw the smirk on Jared’s face, Agnes suddenly got mad, “Jared, are you messing with me
again?”
She huffed and stopped talking to him.
Jared, laughing, took Agnes’s hand and became serious, “If I say I liked you the moment I saw you,
you might not believe it. I find it ridiculous myself. But since the first time I saw you, I felt familiar, Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
curious, and had no aversion to you. In fact, I couldn’t help but want to be near you. So, Agnes; I can’t
answer your question. Because I don’t think it was just a one-night stand between us. That night, I
thought it through. From the moment I touched you, I intended to make you my wife and spend my life
with you. So, our marriage wasn’t because of that night. But because I liked you the moment I saw
you.”
Jared still remembered that night at the bar. That night, she was sloppy drunk and fell right into his
arms.
He usually hates physical contact with others, but that night, the moment she fell into his arms, he
could smell a faint fragrance amid the strong smell of alcohol. Her flushed little face was like a ripe red
apple.
Friends around them all thought this girl was obviously drugged. Several even offered to help, saying
they’d handle it.
He usually didn’t like to get involved in such things. But that day, he unexpectedly took her in his car
and brought her home. That night, was a game-changer.
Agnes was indeed drugged that day. Jared had investigated and soon found out it was her friend,
Jenny.
By then, Jenny had left.
Jared had no intention of telling Agnes about it. She was kind-hearted, and he didn’t want her to see
the dark side of the world.
Jared didn’t consider himself the type to take advantage of others. But that night, he did lose control.
