Heartstrings on Fire novel Chapter 141

Jared's words sent the room into dead silence.

Wife?

What was that all about?

The reporters exchanged glances, seemingly puzzled by his statement.

Meanwhile, the ladies standing by the door, especially Yolanda, wore various expressions.

Agnes was standing at the door too, her surprise no less than anyone else's in the room.

Sure enough, a reporter broke the silence, "Mr. Whitfield, did you just say Agnes is your wife?"

Jared's voice was indifferent, "Agnes and I are married. I was worried that the attention might disturb her life and studies as she's still young. That's why we didn't go public. But now, I have no choice. Agnes is my wife. I don't want to see any negative news about us anymore. What we do in our own home is our business."

He was obviously referring to yesterday's reported kissing scandal.

Jared's bold words uttered in such a serious tone were somehow stirring.

He might seem aloof, but he had this irresistibly attractive aura. The more composed he appeared, the more he fired up one's imagination.

Especially after yesterday's newspaper photo of the heart-throbbing wall-slamming and princess-carrying that every woman dreams of...

Who would've thought that this seemingly detached man could also be so passionate?

And this side of him that drove all women crazy was only reserved for that girl named Agnes.

Agnes was standing at the door, dumbstruck.

She didn't expect Jared to announce their marriage publicly.

What was he thinking? Was he doing this for his reputation? For the reputation of Tim Group?

What about Mamie?

The reporters instinctively made way for him.

But the flashlights were still going crazy.

Jared had reached Agnes.

He held her hand and gently kissed the back of it under everybody's gaze.

An unconscious act filled with affection made the waiting women green with envy.

Then, holding Agnes' hand, he returned to his previous spot and said, "My wife is still young, just starting her career. I hope you all will take good care of her in the future."

Jared kept mentioning "wife", and his love for her was palpable.

He was calm and indifferent when clarifying things to the reporters earlier. But now, when asking the media to take care of Agnes, he was extremely polite.

It was hard not to marvel at how a man like Mr. Whitfield could lower his head for his wife.
