Heartstrings on Fire (Agnes and Jared) novel Chapter 796

Agnes merely grunted in response to Jared's explanation, seemingly emotionless.

It appeared that her attention was wholly absorbed by the interview clip she was editing on her computer screen.

The interview contained footage of Sharon, whose face was so beautiful and endearing. Even as a woman, she found Sharon's face quite charming.

Jared insisted that he only saw Sharon as a sister. But Agnes wasn't quite sure what his definition of a sister was.

This led to the age-old question that has baffled couples for centuries: Can pure friendship exist between a man and a woman?

Agnes' mind was in turmoil. But Jared seemed to have already seen through her thoughts.

Jared said, "There's something I think I should explain to you about Sharon."

Agnes' heart inexplicably skipped a beat. Her finger, which had been operating the mouse, suddenly stopped.

"When I first met Sharon, she was a student at Stanford, excelling in both academics and character. But because of her poor family, she worked as a bartender at a local pub. Back then, I was in a bad place, frequently drowning my sorrows with a bunch of reckless friends, and she would come over to recommend drinks."

Agnes was reminded of the photos Beatrice had used to frame Sharon.

She had indeed seen Sharon working at the pub. Agnes even saw Jared in the background, and they didn't seem to be close.

Agnes wondered if that could have been their first encounter.

Jared continued, "The first time I saw her, she reminded me of you, especially her eyes. At that time, I had been searching for you for a year, like a madman. In that year, I saw many girls who resembled you, but Sharon wasn't the most similar. However, her eyes were incredibly like yours, which made me take a second look."
