Agnes suddenly had a bold idea.
She grabbed Jared’s arm and said, “Let’s secretly eavesdrop on Grandma, okay?”
Jared frowned, “That’s not appropriate, I refuse”
Jared was an upright person, and even with Agnes pulling at him, he didn’t want to.
“Then you can go back. I’ll go alone,” Agnes said.
With that, Agnes ran away, and Jared was really gone. In the back mountain, there was a large jujube
tree with lush branches covered in winter jujubes.
Agnes hid behind the tree.
She overheard her grandma still chattering away, “Julia, I think Jared’s a good kid. At first, I thought he
looked quite handsome. I couldn’t help but think Agnes would be just like you, always hiking good-
looking boys. But these past few days, I deliberately had him help me with so many things, and that
young man didn’t utter a single complaint. He’s very meticulous in his work, I see how caring he is
towards Agnes, and you can rest assured.”
Agnes heard everything Grandma said and felt extremely happy.
So, it turned out that Grandma didn’t dislike Jared after all.
These past few days of making him do physical labor were just a test.
Agnes was ecstatic and couldn’t wait to tell Jared the good news.
As she turned to leave, she heard Grandma sigh as if in sorrow, “Child, why were you so desperate to
take pills and end your life back then? Do you know how heartbroken I’ve been all these years just
thinking about it? If you were still alive, seeing Agnes living well would be so wonderful. I never
approved of that man, Preston Pritchard, but you insisted on marrying him, and as a result, you left us.
How could you bear to leave me? I raised you since you were little. You were my
life”
As Agnes’ Grandma said this, her tears began to flow.
“In the end, it was my inability. Even though that man betrayed you, as an old woman, I didn’t have the
capability to take care of Agnes. I could only let her stay in that house, where his affair with that woman
disheartened you and choose to end your life. Poor Agnes spent so many years there. I don’t know if
she suffered any grievances
She continued to cry, but a trace of contentment appeared on her face. “Luckily, she’s got a good
husband now, that Jared. The more I see him, the more satisfied am. Besides being too handsome, he
has no other faults. I’m just afraid that handsome face might attract other women, Child, please bless
our Agnes to live a happy life”
Her grandma talked a lot in front of the tomb.
Agnes, standing behind the jujube tree, was completely stiff.
Did her Grandma just say that her mother’s death was a suicide? Agnes never knew her mother
committed suicide.
Her memories of that time were somewhat blurry because she knew her mother was hospitalized in her
final days. Dad said her mother was in poor health, so she couldn’t always disturb her mother.
However, every few days, Agnes would visit her mother in the hospital. During those times, her mother
would try her best to support herself and tell Agnes stories, and Dad was very considerate back then.
In fact, over the years, even though Dad remarried quickly, and Agnes knew he had affairs within the
marriage, she still couldn’t let go of some feelings.
Yet, whenever Agnes thought of her mother’s serious illness, the last days spent in the hospital, and
Dad’s meticulous care for her during that time, she felt
somewhat comforted.
She believed Dad still deeply loved her mother. He was just a little unfaithful, that’s all,
That had been Agnes’s belief all along
However, Agnes had never known that Julia had actually committed suicide!
Agnes felt like shocked.
