Heartstrings on Fire (Agnes and Jared) novel Chapter 739

Hearing Valeria’s words, a smile spread across Agnes' face, and she decided not to elaborate.

When Agnes returned to Jared's office, Jared had just finished eating.

Agnes was slightly startled, "You actually finished all the food."

Indeed, Jared had cleared his plate. He even finished the last drop of the clam chowder.

Agnes approached him, "Aren't you full?" She remembered making a considerable amount.

Jared replied, "If my wife cooks, of course, I can't waste it."

Agnes didn't expect Jared to be so endearingly silly.

Jared changed the subject, "What did Valeria chat with you about?"

Agnes teased, "Ms. Thomas said she has a crush on you, she wants to compete fairly with me."

Jared laughed off, totally unbothered, "Impossible, I think she said the exact opposite. She probably explained to you again because she didn't want you to misunderstand."

Jared knew Valeria quite well.

Agnes chuckled, "Yes." Then she sat down and asked seriously, "I've always wanted to ask you something."

Jared gave her a look, "What is it?"

"Why don't you like Valeria? She's so outstanding. You have so many interactions through business, you work together. Hasn't any spark of love ignited?"

Jared snorted coldly, "Agnes, do you know that because you left without saying goodbye, you destroyed my perception of love? For these four years, all I thought about was how I would find you and torture you, returning the pain you gave me tenfold."

Agnes grinned, "Then why haven't you tortured me now?"

Jared sighed, seemingly powerless, "I can't bear it."
