Heartstrings on Fire novel Chapter 493

Jared didn't thought he would be leading around by a kid.

All he saw was the little boy’s fluffy little head bobbing along.

But the kid didn't talk like most kids.

When he took Jared's hand, it was so natural, he didn't even look up.

Out of the corner of his eye, Jared spotted a few people tailing the little guy.

He didn't know why, but he wanted to help this little guy.

He didn't think twice, scooped up the boy and left the Imperial Hotel.

Jared came here to gather information.

Turns out, Reggie Albert never showed. Probably smelled the danger from miles away.

Jared was about to leave, so he put the kid into the car, and sped off.

Good thing those guys couldn't keep up.

After all, their target was a kid. Now, they needed to find Sean.

All the men in black retreated.

The kid stayed silent after getting in the car.

"Why were those guys tailing you?" Jared finally asked.

But the kid stayed silent.

Jared turned to look and found the kid snoozing in the back seat.

He couldn't help but chuckle.

This kid had nerves of steel.

One minute he's being tailed by some shady characters, the next he's napping.

To him, Jared was a stranger too.

This was a first for Jared.

What the heck was going on with this kid? Where's his family?

Seeing Jared carrying a kid, he was taken aback.

Leo asked, "Who's the kid?"

Jared simply replied, "No clue," and headed upstairs with the kid.

Leo's jaw dropped, thinking, "Wasn't the boss at the Imperial Hotel today? How did he end up bringing a kid home? The kid's dressed fancy, where did he come from. Does the boss know kidnapping is illegal?"

Though he thought this, Leo followed and offered, "Boss, you must be tired. Let me take the kid up."

Jared shook his head, "I got it."

Then he continued upstairs with the kid.

Finally, he laid the kid down on his own bed.

The kid was sleeping soundly, didn’t look like he was gonna wake up anytime sooner.

Jared found it odd, he gave the kid a little shake.

But the kid just kept sleeping.
