Heartstrings on Fire (Agnes and Jared)
Chapter 608

Jared is a smart man, and Agnes is all too aware of it.

Now, she's backed into a corner.

If she backs out now, Jared would get suspicious in no time.

She needed to mess with his head completely to feel reassured.

Even if it means going bonkers, she would go bonkers just this once.

She could feel it, Jared's body temperature was on the rise.

The confusion in his eyes and his piercing gaze just now were also gradually fading.

Based on Agnes' past experience, Jared's mind was at its purest at this moment.

Of course, it was also at its most dangerous.

In the next second, Jared turned the tables, pressing Agnes against the door, and a passionate kiss followed...

Jared admitted he's caught in an emotional whirlpool.

Agnes' behaviour tonight was downright odd.

She actually returned here from the Capital, even sneaking into his room in the middle of the night.

And now...he was trying his best to stay lucid.

Agnes' actions were out of character, and he had working hard to figure out her intentions.

But her kiss was intoxicating.

Like an endless dream, the void in his heart that he couldn't grasp seems to be filled instantly.

He didn't want to overthink.

No matter her intentions, as long as she was interested in him, it's all good.

He cherished his current feelings too much.

Even if he lost his sanity, he couldn't bear to reject her.

Jared had already lifted Agnes up, heading straight for the bed.

Agnes' mind was also in chaos. The close proximity of Jared sent her into a daze.

She had never lost her mind like this in all these years.

Over the past four years, she had put the past feuds, Jared's kindness, his dominance, everything about him.

She didn't dare to recall.

But only she knew how much it hurt when she saw Nocturne's sleeping face.

When Agnes and Jared's bodies touched, it felt like the pain was healed.

They were apart for four years, but in the end, they couldn't resist getting close to each other for warmth.

If it wasn't for the increasingly loud knocking on the door outside, Agnes thought she might just keep falling like this.

Nocturne's knocking from outside couldn't be ignored.

Agnes knew Nocturne's temperament. He's as stubborn as Jared.

He wouldn't be knocking like this if it wasn't important.

But Agnes didn't dare to persuade Jared to go check on him.

Jared, however, felt that Summer standing at the door was indeed a nuisance.

He was not used to being eavesdropped on by a child.

In the end, it was Jared who let go of Agnes, his voice had become low, "Wait for me, I'll handle this."

Agnes snapped back to reality, grabbing Jared's neck, "Don't go."

Jared looked at Agnes, his gaze softening considerably.

He gently kissed her forehead, saying, "I'll be right back."

With that, he stood up, wrapped a bath towel around himself, and walked towards the door.

Agnes quickly pulled the blanket on the bed and hid under it.

The door was pushed open.

As expected, Nocturne was standing at the door.

Jared asked, "Is there something urgent?"

Nocturne calmly replied, "Sir, I'm sorry, it's time for my medication."

Nocturne has to take his medication on time every day, usually before he goes to bed.

Jared was aware of this, the medication was on the table in the bedroom.
