Heartstrings on Fire (Agnes and Jared) novel Chapter 254

Chapter 254 

Agnes Pritchard frowned, “I don’t want to go back.” 

Ivan shrugged off his coat and draped it over Agnes’ shoulders, “Whatever’s going on, get in the car first. It’s bloody cold out here.” 

It was mid-winter, and the chill was biting. 

Agnes was only dressed in an evening gown. Her face was flushed from the cold, but she didn’t feel it at all. 

Once in the car, Ivan asked, “Where to?” 

Where to? 

Agnes felt lost. Where should she go? 

Ivan said, “Forget it, let’s grab a bite first.” 

Ivan took her to a small diner by the street. 

It was tucked away in a nondescript neighborhood that most people would never find, but it had a cozy and quiet atmosphere. 

The fried potato balls from this place were crispy and irresistible 

Agnes didn’t have much of an appetite, but she still managed to eat half of a serving of steaming hot potato balls.

He’s beside himself.” 

Agnes frowned. 

How did he know that Jared was looking for her? 

So they had been in touch before Ivan showed up? 

Agnes felt a little uneasy. 

Sure enough, as soon as Ivan finished speaking, Jared appeared at the door 

Agnes was speechless, she just shot Ivan a glare. 

Ivan chuckled, “I couldn’t just leave you out here, so I called Jared to come get you. Whatever issues you guys have, sort them out.” 

With that, he got up, grabbed his car keys and left. 

At the door he patted Jared on the shoulder, “Talk it out.” 

And with that, Ivan was gone. 

Jared stood at the door for a moment, then walked in, expressionless
