Heartstrings on Fire (Agnes and Jared) novel Chapter 631

Agnes was the first to step out of the study.

Jared and Ryder were not far behind.

Once outside, Ryder grabbed Agnes' hand and led her to the balcony at the end of the corridor.

Jared watched them leave with cold eyes, but didn't follow.

As it turned out, Agnes had something to say to Ryder too.

So, she let Ryder lead her to the balcony.

This was an aerial garden at the Whitfield Manor.

It used to be Agnes' favorite spot.

There was a small wooden table and some log chairs on the balcony.

Ryder let go of Agnes' hand once they reached the balcony.

Turning around, he asked, "Did you intentionally let my uncle find out?"

Though it was a question, his tone suggested he already knew the answer.

Agnes was at a loss for a moment. But she quickly realized that he was talking about Nocturne's identity.

He thought she had purposely let Jared know that Nocturne was his child.

Ryder's eyes were icy, as if he could see right through her, "I can't see any gratitude in you. Were you already wavering, using Nocturne's identity as a convenient excuse to reunite with my uncle?"

Agnes snapped, "Ryder, don't think you know me. How would you know what I truly want? I never thought about remarrying Jared. We'll never get back together."

Suddenly, Agnes felt angry, though she didn't know why.

She was also feeling a bit unsettled.

Just a moment ago, she seemed to waver.

Over the years, Agnes often wondered if things weren't as they seemed back then.

If Alyssa had only been covering for Laura, could she and Jared have a second chance?
