Heartstrings on Fire novel Chapter 1311

At the moment, Agnes's mind was a complete blank, and she couldn't tell right from wrong.

She didn't know whom to believe or which side to stand on.

This feeling was absolutely unbearable.

"Agnes, are you still listening to me?"

Elton's voice came through the phone.

Agnes snapped back to reality.

"Yes, I'm listening."

"When are you coming back, Agnes?" Elton's voice had a hint of vulnerability, almost like a child seeking reassurance.

In that instant, Agnes felt her heart soften.

This seemed like the Elton she used to know.

Lately, Elton had appeared too composed, too reserved.

Agnes kept reminding herself that he wasn't the carefree young man he once was.

With a heavy sigh, she said, "Elton, I've decided to stay at Sunset Gardens for a while. I need some time alone to think."

Elton replied, "Take all the time you need to clear your head, but please, don't shut me out."

Agnes nodded, "I won't ignore you, Elton. No matter what happens, we'll face it together."

Jared couldn't help but step out from the shadows.

Even from a short distance away, he had overheard the conversation between Agnes and Elton.

To Agnes, she and Elton seemed inseparable.

Their marriage, on the other hand, had become an obstacle in their emotional journey.

An obstacle they were determined to face together.

Agnes's current thoughts and stance were crystal clear in those few words.

Agnes paused, then said, "Ivan."

She had felt a bit awkward, given that her memory of their past was a blank slate.

But surprisingly, saying his name felt so natural.

It was as if she had an innate fondness for him.

Ivan's gentle demeanor was like a warm ray of winter sun, making everything feel fresh and comforting.

Ivan smiled, "See you tomorrow, then."

Agnes also bid goodbye to Mamie.

Mamie and Ivan both saw them off.

Agnes got into Jared's car once again.

As the car left the Bartley residence, it headed straight onto the city highway.
