Heartstrings on Fire novel Chapter 137

"What the hell?"

"He's not into me; I’m just his plan B."

Ava could sorta guess the situation.

In the love story of Cinderella and the Prince, a princess is always a perfect match for the prince.

Seeing Agnes's mood, Ava didn't ask any more questions.

Agnes's phone started to ring. It was freaking Jared.

Agnes hesitated but answered it anyway.

Jared's deep and magnetic voice came from the other side, "Why haven't you come back yet?"

"Not coming back; I have work early tomorrow."

"You promised to come home tonight."

"When did I promise you that?"

"Hmm?" Jared's voice went up, "Do you need me to remind you?"

Agnes blushed instantly.

Of course, she remembered.

"I don't want to come back," Agnes whispered.

"Do you want me to pick you up?"

"No!"

"Then show up in half an hour."

Jared hung up before she could reply.

Agnes was pissed off but got up and put on her shoes anyway.

"Agnes, where are you going this late?"

Agnes sighed, "To see an annoying old man."

Ava, "..."

Agnes didn't dare to disobey Jared, so she obediently went to Maplewood Manor.

Maplewood Manor was brightly lit.

As Agnes started to climb the stairs, she was pulled back by a strong force.

"Jared, if you need to satisfy your desires, find another woman, don't come to me."

Agnes was pissed.

Was she his tool for venting desires?

Coming home without a word, and just...

Jared's face turned dark instantly.

"Find another woman? Agnes, what are you talking about?"

"I'm just speaking the truth, Jared; I don't know what you guys think, but for me, many problems can't be solved by being intimate; we better keep some distance now to avoid awkwardness in the future."

Jared sat up straight; the desire in his eyes slowly faded, replaced by a deep indifference.

"Is Justin really that good that you've decided to divorce me?"

Agnes felt confused, not knowing how the topic suddenly changed.

But what does this have to do with Justin?

Their problems were never about Justin; Jared was always good at shifting focus.
