Chapter 731

Jared grasped Agnes‘ hand, “Don’t worry about Tim and my sister, Agnes. Once I’ve sorted things out, I’ll take you

back home. I don’t want you to suffer any more setbacks”

Jared thought back to the last time Agnes visited the Whitfield family, to the moment when Tim pointed to the door

and told Agnes to leave, and his heart ached at the memory.

Agnes knew what was on Jared’s mind.

“I’ll face what I need to face, Jared Agnes said. “Take me back home. Don’t worry about the rest.”

Jared squeezed Agnes hand. “New Year’s Day is coming soon. Let’s go back together”

Agnes nodded.

They had almost finished dealing with things in the Capital. After saying goodbye to Phenix, Agnes and Jared

returned to Willowbrook Town.

This time, it felt different from the past.

They first visited Agnes grandmother, and Nocturne was also there. Recently, Nocturne had been staying with his

great–grandmother under the care of a dedicated nanny.

When they arrived, Nocturne was still asleep. Agnes watched him quietly from within the room.

Meanwhile, Jared was in the kitchen with Agnes‘ grandmother, preparing dinner

Nocturne slept soundly. It felt like a long time since Agnes had last seen Nocturne.

She stroked his hair, marveling at how stable and mature he was for his age.

Over the years he had never inquired about his father.

Even now, knowing that Jared was his father, Nocturne, considering her feelings, continued to call him Mr. Jared. It

was this maturity that made Agnes overlook his true feelings.

As a four–year–old, was he longing for a father? While Agnes was deep in thought, Nocturne’s eyelashes fluttered,

and he slowly opened his eyes.

“Moc, are you awake?” Agnes asked softly.

Nocturne rubbed his eyes and sat up slowly. “Mom, when did you get back?”

“Just now,” Agnes replied.

“And when are you leaving?”

Agnes felt guilty She had spent so little time with Nocturne recently.

“No more leaving. Noc. I’m here to stay. Agnes said, stroking his hair.

Nocturne comforted Agnes. “It’s okay, mom. I’m fine on my own. I enjoyed staying with great–grandma and digging

for potatoes. It was fun.”

In Manhattan, Nocturne would never have experienced such things, his daily life usually revolved around books and

electronic devices. This was a welcome change, a taste of true childhood.

“Nocturne, Agnes said, “Would you like to live with your father?”

Nocturne was taken aback. “Mom, why do you ask?”

Agnes held Nocturne’s hand. “There’s something.J need to tell you, Noc. We’re going to live with your father, Jared.

We were separated due to some misunderstandings, but we’ve decided to stay together. Your father and I love you

very much.”

Nocturne nodded “Mom, as long as you’re happy. I’m happy”

Agnes felt a pang in her heart. Her son always put her feelings first.

“Do you like Mr. Jared, Noc? He’s your father Are you happy?”

Nocturne nodded. “I am happy, mom. I like Mr. Jared”

Even though her son seemed a bit too calm, Agnes was relieved.

“Jared is outside now, Agnes said. “Why don’t you go meet him?”
