Heartstrings on Fire (Agnes and Jared) novel Chapter 934

Jared could tell that Agnes was a bit ticked off.

Was it because she was worried about him, or because he had made a fool of her?

Brushing off the autumn leaves from his clothes, Jared picked himself up from the ground and headed inside.

Agnes was busy making the beds for Nocturne and Esther.

Yet her heart was still racing uncontrollably.

When she thought Jared was in trouble, it felt as if the sky was crashing down on her.

She was terrified at the thought of losing him.

In that moment, everything else seemed trivial.

So, when it turned out Jared was pretending to be hurt, it left a bitter taste in her mouth.

But what right did she have to be upset or angry? After all, he had put himself in harm's way for her. And considering their current relationship, throwing a fit would be out of line.

They were neither husband and wife nor lovers.

Those little fits of pique were reserved for those in intimate relationships.

As Agnes straightened out the sheets, she tried to calm her swirling emotions.

When Jared entered the room, he found Agnes, her back to him, immersed in her task.

Approaching her, Jared said, “I’m sorry, Agnes. I didn’t mean to scare you like that. Please, don’t be mad.”

His voice was deep and sincere. But to Agnes, it felt unexpectedly heartrending.

Once so haughty and prideful, Jared rarely apologized.

Now here he was, after having saved her, humbling himself with an apology.

Agnes couldn’t quite place the feeling welling up inside her.

When she turned around, her expression was composed, her demeanor cool.
