Heartstrings on Fire (Agnes and Jared) novel Chapter 310

Chapter 310 

Agnes quickly explained her reason for visiting: “Helena, actually, we’re just here to borrow your bathroom, you know we don’t have one at our place. My husband just finished fixing the barn and his clothes got all dirty, so I thought we could use your bathroom to take showers.” 

Helena immediately replied, “Sure, go right ahead. Agnes, I’m about to get Laird to start on dinner, you guys are not allowed to leave tonight. I’ll have your grandma come over in a bit, and we’ll all have dinner together.” 

Agnes and Jared headed to the second floor. 

The second floor of Helena’s house had a separate bathroom, rarely used. 

Whenever Agnes came to borrow the bathroom, she went there. 

As they were walking down the hallway, a bedroom door suddenly swung open. 

Mariela stepped out from inside. 

She was very surprised to see Agnes, “Agnes, when did you get back?” 

Agnes cheerfully greeted her, “I just got back last night, Mariela. It’s been a while since you’ve been back too.” 

Mariela paused for a moment when she saw Jared standing behind Agnes. Then a surprised look crossed her face, “And this is… 

Agnes introduced with a smile, “This is my husband.” 

Mariela looked shocked, “You’re married?” 

Agnes blushed a bit, “Yes, we’re married.” 

“Anyway, we’re here to borrow the bathroom. Sorry for the trouble.” 

“No problem, go right ahead.” 

Agnes led Jared to the bathroom, gave him a brief rundown, and then said, Til leave first. Once you’re done, I’ll come in and take my shower” 

Actually, Agnes had brought her own clothes. She hadn’t taken a shower last night and already felt quite uncomfortable. 

“After coming to this place, I realized that water is really important. Every drop is precious,” Jared said with a laugh. Agnes was puzzled, “What are you trying to say?” 

“To save water, we could shower together” 

Agnes blushed, “You’re joking again. I refuse. I’ll come back when you’re done.” 

With that, Agnes left the bathroom. 

Seeing them come up together, Mariela might misunderstand if they stayed in the bathroom together for long. 

Agnes didn’t brush it off as casually as Jared did. 

After leaving, Agnes went to chat with Mariela. 

Mariela seemed quite curious about Jared, kept asking how they met and got married 

Agnes naturally didn’t tell the whole truth, after all, their relationship didn’t start off too well. 

So she vaguely mentioned that they met at a company where she was interning and gradually fell in love. 

Mariela said, “So you guys work together” Agnes didn’t deny it. 

They were workmates, only that Jared was her superior at the time. 

Initially, Agnes worried that Mariela might recognize Jared, but it seemed like she didn’t
