Over the next while, Jared was all tied up fixing the roof of the sheep shed.
Agnes couldn't lend much of a hand, all she could do was hold the ladder steady and pass him his tools.
But what Agnes didn't expect was that Jared patched it professionally. In less than half a day, the whole roof of the sheep shed was as good as new.
When Jared came down, he was still fresh and clean, not looking like he'd just done such heavy work at all.
Agnes looked at Jared with admiration in her eyes, "Honey, is there anything you can't do? You even know how to fix roofs!"
Jared chuckled, "Now you know how perfect your hubby is, don't you?"
This guy just couldn't take a compliment, he'd go straight to being full of himself.
But, Agnes thought, even when Jared was full of himself, he was still incredibly charming.
Agnes paused for a moment, then suddenly suggested, "Why don't you go to the Lairds' and use their bathroom for a shower? They've got a water heater. I used to pop over there to use the bathroom when I came back in the past."
Jared frowned, "Isn't that a bit...odd?"
Agnes replied, "Not at all. Granny and the Lairds are like family. I used to go there for meals when I came back."
Jared felt that he indeed needed a shower. He couldn't stand the smell of sheep on him, so he didn't object.
That's when Helena noticed Jared standing next to Agnes and curiously asked, "And who might this be..."
Agnes quickly introduced him, "This is my husband, Jared."
Helena was very surprised, "Agnes, you're married?"
Agnes nodded, "Yes, but we haven't had a wedding yet. When we do, you and Laird must come."
Helena immediately responded, "Of course, we won't miss it."
Then, Helena led Agnes and Jared into the house, saying, "Come on in! You're eating here tonight. Lucky for us, Mariela's back too. Laird bought a lot of seafood. We can all enjoy a seafood feast tonight."
