Heartstrings on Fire novel Chapter 174

Agnes didn't have a lot of classes this semester. After grabbing some textbooks for her major, she planned to head back home as classes hadn't started yet.

At the school gate, she ran into Kerri. After catching up, they decided to grab some grilled fish together.

At the restaurant, Agnes confessed, "Kerri, there's a reason I didn't tell you about my marriage."

Kerri was Agnes' college roomie and her best friend besides Jenny. Agnes felt she owed her an explanation. But Kerri said, "I get it. Stuff like this can be hard to share."

Agnes let out a relieved sigh, "I thought you'd be mad that I kept such a big thing from you."

Kerri hesitated, "Actually, there's something I haven't told you either.”

Agnes asked in surprise, "What's up?"

Kerri nervously confessed, "Agnes, I’m married too, but I haven't told anyone."

Agnes was stunned.

Kerri, with her gentle demeanor, kind nature, and outstanding academic performance, was a medical student at the renowned neurology department of Lakeside College, the same major as Ryder.

She was always the model student, spending all her time studying, doing lab work, writing papers, or doing clinical rotations with professors. She rarely mingled with boys outside her major.

How on earth did she end up married?

Agnes never thought this would happen to Kerri.

Seeing Agnes' worried look, Kerri said, "Don't worry about me. Luckily, he's not into me and has been thinking about divorce. I'm just waiting for him to let me go so I can start my own life."

Kerri didn't mention who her husband was and Agnes didn't ask. If it was bound to end, there was no need to dig deeper. Agnes had always held this view.

Kerri must have made up her mind to tell her about it today.

Agnes said, "Well, I wish you a speedy divorce."

Kerri clinked her glass with Agnes' and said, "Thank you."
