Nocturne suddenly looked up at Jared and said, "Dad, I'm hungry. Can you make dinner? Mom's coming home today. How about you cook her favorite beef stew?"
Jared nodded, "Sure thing. I'll get started on dinner, and then we can head home after we eat."
With that, Jared left the room, leaving Agnes feeling a bit puzzled.
Jared, cooking? That was unexpected.
When Agnes discovered that this man was her husband, she did some digging and found out more about him. A quick search online revealed a flood of information about Jared.
She never imagined that he was the CEO of the Tim Group, a man who practically ruled the business world with an iron fist.
From the moment Agnes first laid eyes on Jared, she sensed he was no ordinary man. His demeanor and presence screamed someone who was born to lead.
Elton had once told her that the reason she ended up marrying Jared was due to a scheming trap set by Jenny, involving a spiked drink that led to an inevitable marriage.
Agnes had secretly read those kinds of dramatic romance novels where such events usually led to the male protagonist believing the female lead was scheming to climb the social ladder.
She couldn't help but wonder if that's how her marriage to him had come about. Was there ever love between them, or was it all just for the sake of the child?
Agnes sighed inwardly, her gaze shifting back to the child. He bore a striking resemblance to his father, not so much in looks but in that innate aura of calmness and aristocracy.
"What were you reading just now?" Agnes asked.
Nocturne replied, "Nietzsche's Will to Power."
Agnes was taken aback. How could a child be reading Nietzsche?
She chuckled, "That's quite the unique hobby you have."
