Jared followed the granny into the nearby cabin.

Agnes wanted to go too, but the old lady stopped her.

The granny said, “The kitchen is too smoky, you can’t come in. Go rest in the room.”

How could Agnes relax leaving Jared there alone?

Yet Jared shot Agnes a glance, hinting her to listen to the granny and not come over

The kitchen door was closed, so Agnes resorted to peeking through the window.

Watching Jared silently engrossed in chopping vegetables, Agnes oddly found him a little awkward.

He had taken off his coat, wearing only a thin light grey sweater, looking like a student

Agnes hadn’t expected to see Jared so out of his depth. She watched him nervously chop away, unable to peel her

Agnes couldn’t wait to dash into the kitchen.

She immediately went to check on Jared. Perhaps it was standing for too long, but when he saw her, Jared swayed a

little.

Agnes quickly ran over to support him.

She asked with concern, “Are you okay?”

A smile crept onto Jared’s face, Tm fine”

As the old lady served the food onto the table, she glanced over at them, “Tired from just this much work? How can

this man be even more delicate than a woman? What a softie””
