Heartstrings on Fire (Agnes and Jared) novel Chapter 25

 

 

Chapter 25 

Agnes froze, thinking she must have been dreaming

Jared spotted Agnes and he was taken aback too

In surprise, Agnes questioned, What are you doing here?” 

Jared composed himself, strolled in leisurely and closed the door. He nonchalantly responded, This is my room.” 

Only then did Agnes realize, Ryder had brought her to Jared’s room for cover

Seeing Jared approach, Agnes felt a sudden surge of nervousness

He took off his coat, revealing a crisp white shirt that made him look incredibly handsome

Jared asked, What brings you here?” 

For some reason, Agnes felt a wave of unexplained anger

Agnes retorted, I’m here for your matchmaking banquet. All the eligible single girls of Willowbrook Town are here for you to pick and choose. Quite a showstopping event.She huffed discontentedly after she finished

A smirk played at the corner of Jared’s mouth as he lightly pinched Agnespuffedup face, Little one, are you jealous?” 

Agnes denied, I am not jealous.” 

Suddenly serious, Jared said, It’s you who doesn’t want to make our relationship public. How about this, come downstairs with me now and I’ll formally introduce you to my father and sister. Your father is also here, we can tell them we’re married, and you are my wife. That way, they won’t arrange these chaotic matchmaking events for me anymore.” 

With that, he grabbed Agneshand and headed for the door

Agnes suddenly felt scared, and she stopped in her tracks, No, I’m not ready yet. And this isn’t the right occasion.” 

Agnes was dressed casually today. She had just climbed over the wall, wrestled with a golden retriever in the garden and was covered in mud. She couldn’t possibly appear before the Whitfield family elders and the other influential families in such a state

Jared turned around, putting on an innocent expression, See, I’ve been waiting for you to be ready, always accommodating you. You should compensate me, don’t you 

think?” 

Agnes felt something was off, but she asked as Jared suggested, How should I compensate you?” 

Jared stepped closer, pinning her against the enormous window behind her, and planted a passionate kiss, We haven’t seen each other in three days. Have you missed me?Agnes was dizzy from the kiss, but she managed to say, This isn’t right. What if someone knocks on the door?” 

She was worried Ryder would show up

While continuing to kiss her, Jared murmured, The door is locked, and the soundproofing is excellent.”
