Heartstrings on Fire (Agnes and Jared)

Chapter 497

But there was one thing that was bugging Agnes.

Nocture’s watch had a built–in tracker, no matter where Nocturne went, Agnes could track his location

on her cell phone.

But when that incident happened, Agnes started to use the tracker.

At first, she could still locate Nocturne.

But after a while, Nocturne’s location suddenly disappeared.

The last spot he was traced to was near a villa area filled with top–notch moguls, All the residents there

were the world’s top rich folks, each of them equipped with tracking and information shielding systems.

So Agnes wasn’t too surprised.

She figured that whoever took Nocturne away today must be sonTeone with serious clout and cash.

But this actually made Agnes‘ feel a bit relieved, at least there wouldn’t be any child trafficking going

on.

Sure enough, 18 hours later/Nocturne reached out to her.

By then, pretty much everyone was by Agnes’s side.

Hearing Nocturne’s calm voice, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.-

Agnes thought to herself.

Whoever it was, she needed to thank them properly.

Standing next to Nocturne was a tall guy.

At that time, he had his back to Agnes.

Agnes couldn’t see his face. Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

But she could roughly guess that he was from the same country as them.

Agnes was about to get out of the car.

Just as her fingers brushed the car door, she saw the man next to Nocturne turn around.

In that instant, she felt as if she had been struck by lightning, torn in half, her mind a complete blank.

Agnes froze, unable to react at all.

Four years.

Four years seemed to have split her life in two, separating her past completely.

The people and events of those past years felt like they belonged to a previous life.

Everything had become a blur in her memory.

Agnes had deliberately tried to forget that person, that past.

She had sealed those memories deep within her.

She rarely touched on them.

But now seeing that face, it was as if the box of past memories had suddenly been opened, those

dusty years rushing at her all at once. Agnes felt astonished, and also unreal.

Over the past four years, Agnes had occasionally wondered what it would be like to meet that man

again.

But Agnes found that no matter how she thought about it, she couldn’t imagine it.

Perhaps in her memory, she and Jared would never cross paths again in this life.

But now, the man who had become her ex–husband was standing next to Nocturne.

Four years later, Agnes felt as if she had been dreaming.

In an instant, she couldn’t tell whether the past was real or the present.

The past was like a giant whirlpool, pulling her back in once again.

And just like that, the man re–entered her life…

Agnes had no idea how long she had been sitting in the car.

Luckily, from her position, they couldn’t see her.

Her cell phone rang again, it was Nocturne.

Agnes froze for a second, her voice trembling, “Nocturne, something urgent came up, so I can’t pick you up, I’ll have Nate get you tomorrow.”

Nocturne’s voice was steady, “Mom, did something happen?”

Agnes didn’t know how to respond, her mind completely blank.

In retrospect, she could have asked a colleague to help pick him up, considering her workplace was

quite close to Epochal Square.

But at that moment, Agnes was really rattled.
