Heartstrings on Fire (Agnes and Jared) novel Chapter 39

Chapter 39 

Agnes trailed behind Jared as they left the airport. 

For some reason, she felt a bit deflated. 

Jared didn’t look surprised or excited to see her, not even a bit. 

But Agnes noticed that Jared was walking a bit faster than usual 

So, was he eager to get home? 

Jared’s private car was already waiting for them outside the airport. 

However, Jared instructed his driver Moss, “Hand me the keys. I’ll drive and you can take a cab home.” 

Moss exited the car, and Jared slid into the driver’s seat. 

Agnes quietly opened the back door, ready to get in. 

“Sit in the front,” Jared suddenly said. 

Agnes obediently closed the back door and opened the front passenger door. 

She asked herself, “Does it really matter where I sit?” 

After buckling her seatbelt, Agnes noticed Jared hadn’t started the car yet. Instead, he was gazing at her with a strange look. 

His eyes were deep and mysterious, like the sea at night. It felt like she could drown in them with just one glance. 

Feeling uncomfortable under his gaze, Agnes asked, “What are you looking at? Is there something on my face?” 

With a serious tone, Jared said, “Yeah, come here, let me wipe it off.” 

Thinking that she really had something on her face, Agnes leaned in 

Unexpectedly, Jared leaned over and kissed her. The kiss was full of dominance. 

Agnes could even feel Jared’s desire. However, she was still a bit shy. 

They were parked in the open–air parking lot at the airport, surrounded by people and cars coming and going. 

Although she knew that Jared’s car windows were made from a special material that made it impossible for people outside to see, Agnes was still a bit embarrassed. She pulled Jared’s hand from under her clothes and said, “Can we go home first. please?” 

Her face was slightly flushed, and her eyes were filled with affection. It was clear that she was also moved. 

Jared had always thought he had good self–control, but for some reason, he couldn’t resist Agnes’s kitten–like eyes. 

But he knew Agnes was shy. He wanted to have her right there, to love her deeply. 

Suppressing his desire, Jared once again kissed Agnes and said, Til let you off this time, but you’ll have to make it up to me twice over. 

After saying this, he carefully straightened out her dishevelled clothes. 

As the car sped away, Agnes’s mood suddenly lifted. 

Even the unpleasant experiences at school seemed to vanish. 

They drove directly into Maplewood Manor. 

As soon as they entered, Jared scooped Agnes into his arms. 

Agnes let out a startled yelp but instinctively wrapped her arms around Jared’s neck. 

The kissing started again. It had only been three days, but it felt like they hadn’t seen each other for three months.
