Heartstrings on Fire (Agnes and Jared)

Chapter 705

Agnes wasn't truly heartbroken.

It's just a subtle tang of bitterness in her heart that she couldn't quite put into words.

She shouldn't have held out hope.

And Jared wasn't to blame.

In Agnes' memory, even if Jared had a string of lovers, he was never one to abandon someone

heartlessly.

In that moment, Agnes made a surprising decision.

After four years apart, she didn't want to return to the past.

These days, the pain they both felt was due to the struggle of whether to abandon their current lives

and return to the past.

But they both knew that going back after four years was nearly impossible.

So why not continue with their current lives?

Without having to abandon everything, perhaps in the future, because of their child, their lives would

intersect again.

But that would merely be a point of intersection.

The fact that they no longer harbor resentment towards each other is a blessing, isn't it? This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

Perhaps in the future, she could calmly have a cup of coffee and a chat with Jared and the people

around him.

In those fleeting seconds, Agnes seemed to have thought of many things.

She was constantly comforting herself, also trying to convince herself.

In fact, it seemed like she had succeeded.

Agnes flashed a brilliant smile in his direction.

Seeing her smile, Jared’s face noticeably darkened.

Why was Agnes here?

He thought he was hallucinating.

Shouldn't Agnes still be in the hospital recovering?

How did she end up here in the blink of an eye?

In the morning, Leo had reported that Agnes had been discharged and had gone to Eden Nights.

Initially, he wasn't too pleased about it.

Why would Agnes, a pure girl, choose to stay in such a place?

What was her relationship with the boss, Phenix?

But now...

Jared had some recollection of the man next to Agnes.

He had returned to the country with Agnes.

Upon their first meeting, this man had given him a bone-crushing handshake.

Over all this time, Jared hadn't found out much about this man's identity.

Only that he wasn't someone ordinary from the underworld.

Now, he appeared once again beside Agnes...

Agnes' smile seemed to sting Jared.

Could she really be laughing while appearing in such a place with another man?

Indeed, she seemed to be utterly calm.

At the hospital, when he proposed to start afresh, she had calmly rejected him.

Now, Jared was puzzled.

Did Agnes refuse him because of Ryder, or because of this man?

Agnes headed towards Count and Countess Alexandra.

The distance between her and Jared was decreasing.

Jared's eyes were fixed on Agnes.

Like a thrown dagger, they struck coldly.

But Agnes, upon seeing Jared, only exchanged a glance with him.

Then she moved her gaze away.

As if she didn't know Jared at all.

In such a setting, Agnes had no reason to be polite to him.

They were both here with their partners.

There was no need for them to question each other, better to exchange a friendly smile.

Count and Countess Alexandra could speak English.

Although their English carried a slight accent, it always gave the impression they had lived in Britain for

many years.

In reality, due to Countess Alexandra's fear of flying, they had never been to many countries.

This was always their biggest regret.
