Heartstrings on Fire (Agnes and Jared)

Chapter 198

Tim was out of the hospital the next day.

At dinner the next day, Agnes saw Ryder again.

Although Ryder had agreed to replace Vinson in the role, he never heard from her didn’t contact her,

and didn’t participate in the rehearsal. That was a problem because the school festival was in half a

month, and the school was taking the performance seriously.

Therefore, it was necessary to hurry up and rehearse. After dinner, Agnes saw that Ryder didn’t go

back to his room but was bathing Oscar in the yard.

Ryder wasn’t keeping a straight face, he was talking to Oscar while bathing him. Where on earth did

you go today? You’re all muddy. Lucky I’m bathing you, or if Jared saw it you would be in trouble.”

There was a touch of doting in Ryder’s words, and even a hint of a smile on his lips.

Agnes walked over and squatted next to Oscar, patting his back and said, “I never thought you’d look

so cute when you smile.”

Ryder was taken aback, then instantly put on his poker face: “I can’t stand people cozying up to me.”

Agnes played innocent: “I wasn’t talking about you, I was praising Oscar. Look at him, isn’t he adorable

when he smiles, just like a cherub.”

As she spoke, Agnes intentionally teased Oscar’s face.

Ryder just snorted, a hint of blush on his face, and bowed his head.

He seemed a bit miffed.

Agnes felt that Ryder wasn’t as icy as the rumors said.

It was actually fun to joke around with him.

Agnes chuckled silently, then put on a serious face: “Ryder, thank you”

As Ryder was rinsing Oscar’s paws, he said coldly: “No need for thanks, I’m just doing it for Jared.”

Agnes suddenly felt that Ryder might not dislike her as much as she thought.

Agnes said, “No matter who you’re doing it for, you helped me, and I appreciate it. By the way, let’s

start rehearsing at East Hall tomorrow night.” Ryder didn’t respond.

Agnes was still waiting for his answer.

Oscar was getting impatient from the bath, trying to break free several times.

Ryder suddenly said, “Help me hold him. He always gets annoyed when I wash his back paws”

Agnes quickly held Oscar’s neck and pressed him with her body.

By the time the back paws were washed, both of them were panting.

Just as they stood up,

Oscar also suddenly stood up and shook his fur vigorously.

Agnes was all wet,

She almost screamed, “Oscar, did you do that on purpose?”

Seeing Agnes’s angry face, Ryder suddenly burst into laughter.

His laugh was really charming. Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

Agnes said, “See, you should learn from Oscar, smile more, you look good when you smile.”

Ryder’s laugh was really good-looking.

His smile was clean and pure, like the first rays of sunlight on a snow-capped peak.

Agnes was really praising him this time, but his face turned gloomy again in an instant.

Well, he was indeed a moody boy.

Ryder said, “You should go inside, you’re all wet.”

Ryder was already avoiding eye contact.

Agnes looked at her clothes and nodded, “Then I’ll go in first then”
