Heartstrings on Fire (Agnes and Jared)
Chapter 617

Agnes was filled with an unnameable fear, it's like she had a gut feeling.

Sure enough, Jared turned around and picked up Nocturne from the passenger seat.

Agnes was a bit confused, not understanding what Jared was up to.

But Jared was already holding Nocturne, heading towards his car.

Agnes rushed to catch up, stepping in front of Jared, "Jared, what the hell are you doing, where do you think you're taking him? You can't just take my son away!"

Jared walked to the side of the car, then stopped, his voice icy cold, "Agnes, maybe it's time you feel what I felt. Starting from today, you'll know what it's like to lose someone you care about." Without another word, Jared got into the car with Nocturne, closed the door, and drove off.

Everything happened so fast that Agnes couldn't even stop him.

All Agnes knew was that she had truly pissed Jared off.

Agnes stood there for a few seconds.

Then she quickly turned around, got into her own car, started the engine, and chased after him.

Both cars merged into the city traffic.

Agnes went from panic to anger, then finally calmed down.

There was only one thing in her mind, she absolutely cannot let Jared take Nocturne away.

No matter the cost.

She could lose anything in this world, but not Nocturne.

Jared's car was always ahead, with Agnes sticking to his tail.

She was clueless about the direction and the destination.

Eventually, the car stopped at Maplewood Manor.

Jared got out of the car with the child and went straight into the villa.

Agnes followed him in.

Jared carried Nocturne upstairs, put him in the bedroom, and locked the door.

Agnes was banging on the door from outside, "Jared, you bastard, open the door! You're nothing but a thief, what the hell are you trying to do?"

Despite the deafening banging on the door, Jared found the room suddenly serene.

He looked at Summer in his arms, a nameless emotion swelling in his heart.

This was his child, his own flesh and blood!

Even though he had just confirmed this fact from Agnes, Jared was filled with heartache and anger.

But beneath the complex and intense emotions, he couldn't help but feel a touch of exultation.

It was like a volcanic eruption, bubbling up, scorching hot, these emotions almost made him lose control of himself.

Tears welled up in Jared's eyes...

Jared put Nocturne on the bed.

Agnes was still banging on the door outside, almost breaking it down.

Jared put down Nocturne, collected himself, then opened the door.

Agnes was still banging on the door from outside.

The door suddenly opened and she lost balance, falling straight into Jared's arms.

Agnes stepped back, "Jared, give Summer back to me. You have no right to take him away. If you want to fight for custody, get a lawyer. We can settle this in court. But first, give him back to me!" Jared seemed to have returned to his usual icy demeanor, his eyes as cold as ice.

Jared said, "Give him back to you, and then you just disappear with him? Agnes, don't think I don't know what you're planning!"

Agnes didn't expect Jared to see through her plans so quickly.
