Heartstrings on Fire (Agnes and Jared) novel Chapter 313

Chapter 313 

Jared was just staring out the window, not saying a word, as if he hadn’t heard a thing. 

Agnes felt a bit awkward, knowing Jared’s snobbish character in public. 

So, she covered for Jared, “He doesn’t mean anything by it, he was born that way, Mariela, please don’t mind it.” 

Jared shot Agnes a glance. 

In a short while, they reached Starfall Village 

Today, Starfall Village was buzzing like never before 

Even though it’s in the middle of nowhere, its boat race was super famous, drawing crowds from other cities just to catch the action. 

The boat race took place on Starfall River, with water so clear you could see your own reflection. 

Though the race hadn’t started yet, the banks of Starfall River were already jam-packed with people. 

Agnes was a bit bummed, “With all these people, we’re not gonna find a decent spot 

Manela chimed in, “I know a place that was not too crowded with great view 

Agnes was surprised to find that Mariela led them to the riverbank where the race was about to start. 

The view was incredible, they could even see the faces of the racers clearly. 

But the reason this place wasn’t buzzing with people was because of a broken spot on the riverbank that hadn’t been fixed yet. 

Watching the race from here, it was easy to take a tumble into the water when it’s crowded. 

Still, there were a few brave souls around, though not many. 

Mariela warned, “This is probably the best spot, but just watch your step. The riverbank is busted. It’s easy to fall into the river.” 

Agnes was thrilled. She bolted to the front, hollering with the crowd. 

Then, she turned to Jared, “Jared, look at those guys, they’re ripped, all of them have six pack abs.” 

Jared frowned, “Are they really that great?” 

Agnes stuck her tongue out teasingly, “Don’t be such a wet blanket. I’m just taking a look, not gonna touch them.” 

This woman still wanted to touch them? 

Jared pinched Agnes” face, “No more looking, let’s go home.” 

Agnes quickly held onto Jared’s hand, pleading for forgiveness, “I’m sorry, I’m just here for the race, okay?” 

Jared released his grip. Mariela stood nearby, watching the two of them interact. They were like a couple in love, which was admirable. 

Agnes had lived a life of privilege since she was little. Every time she visited the countryside, everything felt fresh and exciting, like the chicks and ducks were new 

toys. 

She said she loved the countryside because it was quiet and cozy. 

But Mariela, who had grown tired of this place, knew otherwise. 

Agnes found the chicks and ducks cute, probably because she didn’t have to clean up after them. 

She loved the homemade food, probably because she was used to fancy, exotic dishes. 

Mariela had been a hardworking student since she was little. She had one goal in mind to get out of the countryside and become someone people looked up to. 

In fact, she had achieved that, she now had a high-paying, respectable job.
