Heartstrings on Fire (Agnes and Jared) novel Chapter 606

"Mr. Whitfield, this is none of your business. I got what I needed, so I'm outta here."

Agnes reckoned this was the best timing for her to leave.

Even though she was in disappointment.

If she missed the chance to see Nocturne this time, who knows when would be the next time.

But Agnes had no other choice.

Agnes tried to slip past Jared to make a French exit, but just after two steps, Jared grabbed her arm.

Jared has always been like this. His grip was so tight, it felt like he was crushing her bones.

Agnes was mad, "Jared, have you forgotten that I know Taekwondo? Let go before I hurt you."

Jared didn't even bat an eyelid at Agnes' threat.

Jared said, "You're in such a hurry to get married? Getting Ryder to come home once in these years was hard, but now that you're back, he's back. Did you two plan this all along?"

Agnes didn’t understand what Jared was blabbering about.

But she knew Jared, if she didn't clear things up, there's no way she could leave.

Jared was always unreasonable. He was getting hitched, but he didn't want her to.

Or maybe what got Jared's goat was that she might get married before him.

Men could be so selfish sometimes.

Even after they broke up, they still wanted the woman to wait for them.

So even though he was about to get hitched, he kept sticking his nose into her business.

Agnes decided not to piss him off, she needed to scram ASAP.

Agnes said, "I don't have any plans to marry anyone for now. Can you let me go now?"

Agnes' voice was full of resignation and compromise.
