Heartstrings on Fire (Agnes and Jared) novel Chapter 916

Ryder held Agnes' hand gently against his face.

"Agnes, every stolen moment with you, every secret rendezvous, it's all heaven to me."

When Ramona and Ben heard that Agnes had fainted, they rushed over immediately.

As they walked through the entrance, they were met with an astonishing sight.

Ramona's jaw dropped in disbelief, "What in the world is happening here?"

Ryder gazed at Agnes with such longing, holding her hand pressed against his cheek—a gesture so intimate it was usually reserved for lovers.

But wasn't Ryder Agnes' nephew?

Inside, Ryder seemed aware of the commotion at the door but was so engrossed in his own world that he didn't turn around or show any sign of panic of getting caught.

He just stood there, quietly holding Agnes' hand, providing silent comfort.

Ramona had wanted to go in, but Ben held her back.
