Heartstrings on Fire novel Chapter 10

Jared was taking a shower, while Agnes was busy packing her stuff. But while changing clothes, she noticed that her chest and neck were all covered with Jared's love bites.

This guy…

Agnes reluctantly put on a turtleneck that she had never worn before.

When Jared came out, he saw Agnes in a yellow turtleneck, looking absolutely adorable. Her hair was tied into a simple ponytail, revealing a smooth forehead, and there was a blush on her cheeks.

Jared walked over, deliberately asking, "Why did you suddenly change clothes? Don't you dislike turtlenecks? You said they make your neck uncomfortable?”

He knew the reason very well; he was such a jerk!

Agnes rolled her eyes at Jared.

Jared had to laugh inside. When they first moved in together, Agnes was like a little bird, tiptoeing every step. Now she had the nerve to roll her eyes at him. He considered it good progress; it meant she trusted him more.

Jared drove Agnes back to the Pritchard Mansion himself.

After getting out of the car, Jared left.

When Agnes entered the door, the nanny Carmen welcomed her, "Ms. Pritchard, you're finally back."

Agnes asked, "Carmen, where's my dad?"

"Mr. Pritchard hasn't come back yet, but Mrs. Pritchard is at home. She cooked tonight's meal herself."

Agnes nodded and then went upstairs.

Mentioning Elton, Agnes' face darkened.

Beatrice, however, began to gloat, "I guessed right, didn't I? I told you, sooner or later, Elton would find you boring and dump you. Agnes, when did Elton break up with you?"

Agnes was furious, pointing to the door, "Beatrice, get out of my room!"

"Agnes, who do you think you are? You dare to kicking me out. This is my house, you're just a burden here. I'll have you know; Dad has already agreed to take me and mom to Maldives for a vacation after my exams, just the three of us. Agnes, why did you come back? You're really just an extra here.”

"Beatrice, enough."

Laura walked in, sternly told Beatrice, "How can you talk to your sister like that? Get out!"

Reluctantly, Beatrice left the room. Laura sat next to Agnes, took her hand, and said, "Beatrice is still young and naive, don't take her words to heart."
