Heartstrings on Fire (Agnes and Jared)

Chapter 212

Chapter 212

Once they got in the car.

Agnes had been secretly watching Jared’s expression.

Jared looked really wiped out

All Agnes wanted to do was to cheer him up

She said, “Jared, Ryder got discharged from the hospital today. I cooked dinner myself.”

Hearing that name, Jared frowned, opened his eyes, his voice cold as ice, I know”

Agnes bit her lip gently. “I ordered a cake for Ryder. We can pick it up in a bit.”

Jared’s fingers twitched slightly, his voice still icy, “Alright,

After getting the cake, Agnes got back into the car all excited, telling Jared. The owner of the bakery

also gave me a bouquet of lilies. Ryder was discharged from the hospital. Today is just the nght gift for

him.”

“Agnes, you were too involved in that scene.”

Jared suddenly said.

Agnes was puzzled

What shocked her was not what Jared said, but his expression.

His face was as cold as an ice sculpture, and his eyes, they were like icy daggers, radiating a cold

glow.

Agnes, as if she didn’t catch on for a moment, asked, “What did you say?”

A trace of mockery appeared on Jared’s face, “Ryder, Ryder, how many times do you need to say this

name every day? Agnes, please recognize your identity. He’s not Romeo and you’re not Juliet. Please

show some self-awareness as my wife.”

Agnes didn’t understand. It took her a while to finally catch on

Disbelief filled Agnes’s eyes. “Jared, what do you think I am?”

What was Jared implying?

He actually suspected her of having an affair with Ryder.

While Jared was away on a business trip, they would call each other every night.

Agnes did mention Ryder, but that’s because he’s Jared’s nephew, and someone he cares about a lot.

Agnes was just updating Jared on Ryder’s health condition to put him at ease

She didn’t expect Jared to think this way.

Anger welled up in Agnes out of nowhere, on top of that, she felt it was incredibly ridiculous and

absurd. Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Her and Ryder, how could that even be possible?

But Agnes still tried to keep herself composed and explained, “I think you got the wrong idea. Ryder

and I are just friends, plus, he’s your nephew. I’ve always seen him as my nephew too.”

Jared’s fingers clenched tightly. He got a wrong idea?

What he saw with his own eyes could not be wrong.

Ryder was someone he watched grown up and he had been acting strange lately.

Jared knew that Agnes was innocent and probably didn’t do it on purpose.

But he vented the frustration he had been holding back for days on her anyway.

Jared pinched the bridge of his nose, his voice extremely lined, “Keep your distance from him from now

on. The Whitfield family’s reputation is good, and I don’t want it ruined because of you two.”

Agnes didn’t respond

But her heart ached as if it was being stabbed with a knife

The Whitfield family’s reputation can’t be ruined because of the two of them?

Has Jared already concluded that they’re having an affair?

Agnes remembered when she was framed by Jenny, and everyone misunderstood her only Jared

trusted her unconditionally

-But now

The car smoothly pulled up to the Whitfield Manor

Jared and Agnes got out of the car

The lights of the Whitfield Manor were still shining bright

Yet Agnes suddenly felt a chill
