Heartstrings on Fire (Agnes and Jared) novel Chapter 531

Chapter 531 

Agnes avoided Jared’s gaze, “Mr. Whitfield, I didn’t come here today to beg or be intimidated by you. Truth is, there’s no love left between us. I don’t want to drag you into my issues with Alyssa. That’s between me and her. For the sake of our past deep relationship, just tell me where my grandma is. I don’t want to be enemies as soon as I get back. Can we just be strangers?” 

Jared looked at the woman in front of him, feeling both amused and heartbroken. 

She said so indifferently, “can we just be strangers?” 

No way! Definitely not! 

If they could be strangers, he wouldn’t be in so much pain. 

He wouldn’t suffer every night as if his heart was being ripped out, just at the thought of her name, the sight of her face on the TV screen, it made his teeth itch, his whole body felt like it was on fire. 

This woman would never know what he’s been through over the years. 

Every minute, every second of these four years, he was living in hell. 

Now she casually told him, my everything has nothing to do with you, we are just strangers! 

Jared also laughed, “Sure, Agnes, I think your proposal is great. Being strangers is exactly what I want.” 

When Jared said this, Agnes was somewhat surprised. 

Ever since she saw him, Jared’s emotions had been running high. 

It was like his long–held resentment exploded at the last moment. 

How could Jared be willing to let go of everything? 

Agnes thought Jared still had other ways to hurt her. 

Sure enough, the next second, Jared calmly said, “Agnes, pay back what you owe me first, then we can be strangers. I promise I won’t bother you for the rest of your life.” 

Agnes looked into Jared’s eyes, “What do I owe you?” 

Jared said word by word, “You owe me a child!” 

When he mentioned the child, Jared felt a twitch in his heart. 

He could never forgive Agnes, not in this lifetime. 

Agnes was stunned, “Jared, I think we can’t communicate anymore.” 

The mention of a child would make Agnes feel guilty. 

Thinking that Jared might take away Nocturne, Agnes felt an indescribable fear. 

She couldn’t have more contacts with Jared. 

Agnes calmly said, “I shouldn’t have come today. I have nothing to say. I will find my grandma myself. Jared, if you are a man, act decently. Don’t always do things that are disgraceful, it’s only making me look down on you.” 

After she finished speaking, Agnes turned around coldly and left the room. 

Jared didn’t chase after her. 

After Agnes left, an unprecedented exhaustion surged in his heart. 

He had never felt this tired before. 

Even during these four years of intense suffering, there seemed to be something supporting him. 

This anticipation was his hope that one day Agnes would appear before him. 

Maybe their child is still in this world. 

Not like now. 

This is not how things should be… 

Once Agnes appeared, it would completely ruin everything, including the thin hope of the past four years. 

Jared really felt extremely exhausted, his world had completely collapsed, he didn’t know how to go on…
