Heartstrings on Fire (Agnes and Jared) novel Chapter 710

There seemed to be a dagger piercing Jared's heart.

At the end of the day, she simply did not love him anymore.

Agnes, though, was quite honest about it.

Even her expression was candid.

Then again, Jared had no idea what events had unfolded in Agnes' life over the past four years.

The men that appeared in her life were either mysterious or exceptional.

Take Mr. Kearney, for instance; his appearance, demeanor, and background were all impressive.

Jared felt that he was no match for such a man.

If there was a winner and loser in love, he was likely the latter.

Despite this, he couldn't accept his fate.

Why was he the only one clinging to hope?

Agnes slowly withdrew her hand from Jared's, "I'm giving you time to think, whether you want to be friends or strangers. You don't have to answer now, but once you do, I will respect your decision."

With that, Agnes turned and walked into the house.

There was no heated argument this time.

But why did her heart still ache so?

Jared remained at the doorstep.

Agnes had given him two options.

Both of which, to him, were a dead end.

Should he really give up?

Was there no hope left?

He had once set aside his pride and everything else to hold onto this woman.

Yet, she chose to leave.

Fear crept into Jared's heart.

He felt helpless.

If he were to forcefully hold her back as he did in the past, it would only repel her further.

As Jared stood there in silence, he noticed a ruby bracelet in his hand.

It must have slipped from Agnes' wrist when he held her hand too tightly.
