Heartstrings on Fire (Agnes and Jared) novel Chapter 611

"Even though Mr. Whitfield spoils her rotten, she's just a rich man's pet. How could a master ever marry his pet?"

"The Thomas family and the Whitfield family are evenly matched, and Valeria is the general manager of the Thomas Group. She's sharp as a pin, do you think she doesn't know about Sharon? I bet Sharon's in for a rough ride."

"These rich guys, every single one of them has a wife at home and a lover on the side. Even if Jared dumps her, she'll get a decent payoff that'll set her up for life."

"Sharon isn't a stunner and she doesn’t have a fancy background. How the heck did she catch Mr. Whitfield's eye?"

"I heard that Mr. Whitfield saw her in a bar and liked her eyes. They reminded him of his ex-wife."

"Speaking of which, it's a darn shame that Mr. Whitfield turned into such a playboy because of a broken heart."

Agnes had been following the news these days too, and most of the reports were about Sharon.

Agnes suddenly remembered that she once called Jared because of her grandmother.

The call was answered by a girl, she said that Jared left his phone at her place.

Now, Agnes thought, that girl must've been Sharon.

Jared was really getting engaged.

Agnes couldn’t tell what she was feeling.

She wouldn’t admit that it actually hurt, but after all, she had no place in this.

It's Jared's life, none of her business.

All Agnes could think of now was to find a way to get Nocturne back.

The day Jared gets engaged would be a good opportunity.

Since he was getting engaged, he would be super busy that day.

And Nocturne needed to sleep during the day.

Jared couldn’t keep an eye on Nocturne all the time.

Agnes had been restless these days.

On top of that, she had been having an on-and-off cold, still running a low fever.

The meds were helping, but Agnes couldn’t be bothered with that.

She had been glued to Nocturne's location every day.

Finally, the day Jared gets engaged arrived.

Coincidentally, it was two days before Christmas.
