Heartstrings on Fire (Agnes and Jared)
Chapter 508

Chapter 508

These past few days, he'd wasted so much time just for that one accidental glance.

He'd been putting off a lot of stuff.

His mind seemed to be wandering elsewhere.

Every day, he waited at that intersection, hoping that she might pass by there again.

Maybe that's her usual route.

Every day, he watched countless cars pass back and forth.

But Jared never saw that familiar face again.

For four years, that glimmer of hope in Jared's heart gradually drowned in disappointment and frustration.

Maybe that person wasn't Agnes at all, just someone who looked like her, or maybe he was mistaken.

Jared felt a headache coming on.

"Book me a flight, I'm heading back tomorrow."

Leo was surprised, but in the end, he only said, "Alright."

Ever since he saw that profile, Jared felt like every cell in his body was in turmoil.

All those suppressed emotions burst out all at once.

For so many years, he's been obsessively searching for that woman, almost pathologically persistent, as if replaceing her became the most important thing in life.

Years of disappointment and pain piled up like a mountain.

He wished he could replace that woman and kill her on the spot.

He couldn't tell if his feelings for her were love or hate.

Memories of the past cut him like a knife, from unbearable pain to a gradual numbness, but ready to burst at any moment.

Jared had had enough.

But he couldn't shake off these emotions.

It was the only thing in his life he couldn't control.

He's been on the edge of breaking down, the worst times felt hke his entire body was scalded by hot oil, being drained of all moisture, tough as iron on the outside but rotting inside Even the slightest touch could shatter his heart.

During those increasingly desperate days, Jared didn't know how he got through.

Maybe he didn't get through at all.

He's just used to the pain now.

Jared's fingers clenched tighter.

Agnes, you better hope I don't replace you, or I won't let you off!

Agnes seemed to have caught a cold..

She kept sneezing while packing her luggage in the evening

Kearney came over tonight, he's in the kitchen making beef burgers.

Albert's hobby was opening fast food restaurants.

He's opened many fast food restaurants across the country.

But these fast food restaurants were usually closed

He never asked for help.

No matter where he was, he would open a fast food restaurant there.

Kearney managed all of Albert's business and underground industries.

So, he had the most contact with Albert.

Although he couldn't cook anything else, he'd learned how to fry Albert's beef patties.

A juicy beef patty could beat those fancy Michelin-starred restaurants

After Kearney made dinner for three, he first called Nate, then went to Agnes's room

Agnes was still sneezing non stop

Kearney chuckled, "Seems like someone is missing Septima

Agnes replied. "Stop kidding. I feel like someone is badmouthing me

Kearney walked over and asked, "Done packing? If you're done, I can help you move your luggage to my car later, I'll pick you up tomorrow murning"

1/2

Agnes nodded

Kearney was also heading to Willowbrook Town tomorrow, so they planned to head to the airport together
