Heartstrings on Fire (Agnes and Jared)

Chapter 152

Jared was obviously shook. He didn’t expect Agnes, who was always well behaved, to pull a stunt like t hat in public

Her cheeks were burning, a hint of shyness still lingering on her face. She quickly returned to her seat after kissing him, burying her head i n her food as if nothing had happened

Jared, however, moved closer to her on purpose and said, “Babe, I think I’ve got some sauce on my lip s too.”

Agnes was speechless This man!

It seemed like there was a price to pay for her bold move

Agnes sighed, picked up a napkin, and wiped his lips.

Tim couldn’t bear to watch anymore, “Can you guys save the intimacy moment in your room? We have guests.”

Even though he said that, he was actually quite pleased

After dinner, Preston and Tim chatted in the study.

Laura and Alyssa were in the living room discussing Chanel’s latest dress style.

Jared and Ryder were talking in the yard.

Beatrice took advantage of the moment and approached Agnes, asking, “Agnes, did you set me up just now?”

Agnes replied, “Don’t just go blaming people. Jared gave you the beef, not me. If you want to settle sco res, you should find him.”

“How would he treat me like that if you didn’t hint him?” Beatrice asked.

Agnes replied, “Beatrice, I don’t have the energy to target you.”

Beatrice sneered, “You wouldn’t dare. Agnes, you may be Jared’s wife now. But I’ll let you know, I will t ake your place and make you pay

“Beatrice, I suggest you stop embarrassing yourself. Jared will never like you” Agnes said

“Jokes on you. If you could become his wife, why wouldn’t he like me? What makes you better than me? Men are naturally attracted to novelty, are you s o confident that he won’t betray you?” Beatrice said. Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

Agnes replied, “He won’t, I trust him.”

From the moment Jared publicly stood up for her, Agnes chose to trust him.

Beatrice laughed upon hearing this, “I don’t believe he’ll resist temptation. Agnes, just wait. Jared will fa ll for me sooner or later”

Beatrice’s words didn’t intimidate Agnes, because she knew that Jared’s ex– girlfriend was Mamie. Compared to Mamie, Beatrice was nothing special.

Agnes didn’t want to waste her time arguing with Beatrice and went into Jared’s bedroom.

This bedroom was something Agnes had already seen at Tim’s birthday party. What impressed her the most was a whole wall of glass windows.

They had even Agnes unconsciously recalled the scene, and her face flushed.

She looked around Jared’s bedroom. The room was mainly in black, white, and gray, with minimal deco ration. Apart from a large bed and a floor–to–ceiling bookshelf, there was hardly any other furniture.

It was so Jared.

Agnes casually flipped through the books on the bookshelf until she heard some noise at the door..

Jared walked in after opening the door. He walked up behind Agnes, wrapped his arms around her wai st, and asked gently, “What are you reading?”

Agnes showed him the cover of the book.

Jared took the book from her without a change in his expression, “Is it interesting?”

Well, she was just flipping through it out of boredom.

Jared’s breath was already on her lips, her back pressed against the bookshelf. As his arms on the boo kshelf slowly tightened, their eyes locked, full of flirtatious tension.

Agnes finally experienced how seductive a man could be, like Jared right now.

She was moved by his charm and couldn’t help but kiss him on the lips and playfully said, “You’re way more interesting than this book!”
