Heartstrings on Fire (Agnes and Jared)
Chapter 586

Chapter 586

After the footsteps faded away from the room, Agnes finally broke down and started crying.

But she didn't dare to sob, just silently shed tears.

Agnes couldn't remember when was the last time she cried.

After having Nocturne, Agnes felt like she was clad in a suit of tough armor.

No matter what storms she faced, she could handle them with ease.

Sometimes, she felt fortunate, feeling like she finally became the person she wanted to be, an invincible superwoman.

But Agnes found that Jared was her weak spot.

Whenever he was involved, her so-called armor couldn't stand a chance.

His sneer when he left was still echoing in her mind.

Agnes knew Jared had truly given up.

In a way, Agnes thought she should be happy.

Because it meant she no longer needed to live in fear and hide,

For all these years, she was afraid that Jared would probe into her life, afraid that he would discover the existence of Nocturne.

He was always a stubborn man, especially since she left him without a word.

His goodbye after four years made her think of the night her father passed away, as if she had lost something most important in her life. Agnes later tried to figure out what she had lost. Then she realized. What she lost was care and entanglement.

Maybe that was for the best.

When Ryder came back, he found blood on the floor and Agnes trembling with suppressed sobs.

Ryder knew what had happened.

Jared had been here.

But he also knew that Agnes must have given him an answer.

Because at this moment, Jared had already driven away.

Ryder approached Agnes, saying, "He's gone. If you want to cry, just let it all out!"

Agnes wanted to cry out loud, but after suppressing it for so long, she seemed to have forgotten how to let it out.

Over the years, she had been constantly asking herself, did she regret it?

She was so sure she didn't regret it.

Leaving back then was the right decision.

But now, the piercing pain forced her to admit.

She was regretting it all the time.

No matter what choice she made at that time, she would regret it.

But now, it had been four years.

Nothing could be reversed.

There was already a woman who could accompany Jared and be his equal partner.

He finally let go of his last lingering feelings for Agnes, just like a dying person exhaling their last breath.

Their love had completely died.

"Ryder, I'm leaving."

In the end, Agnes just wiped her tears with restraint!

"I'll see you off." Ryder said.

"No need, I want to be alone for a while."

Agnes walked away by herself.

She hailed a cab, and finally burst into tears in the backseat.

The driver comforted her all the way, afraid she might do something drastic.

Finally, Agnes arrived at Cedarwood Manor.

Built in the last century, Cedarwood Manor was located in the heart of the Capital, boasting classic French architecture of the previous century. It stood out among the century-old classic buildings and celebrity residences, becoming the most distinctive scenery in downtown Capital.

Of course, every villa here came with a hefty price tag.

Agnes came here because Nocturne was living here now

Naturally, Agnes couldn't get in.

But she had already called Reggie Albert in advance.

A black Rolls Royce was already parked at the gate of the community.

Babur, Reggie's personal driver, was in the car.

Seeing Agnes, Babur quickly got out of the car and opened the door for Agnes, respectfully saying, "My lady, please."
