Heartstrings on Fire (Agnes and Jared)
Chapter 619

When Jared brought up the idea of remarrying, Agnes was totally gobsmacked.

She even thought she was hearing things.

But Jared's face was dead serious, no sign of joking around.

While Agnes was still trying to wrap her head around this, Jared's phone started to ring.

Jared retrieved his phone from his pocket, took a quick glance at it, and then turned to answer the call by the window.

As Jared unlocked his phone, Agnes caught sight of the name on the screen: Valeria.

Agnes' mood instantly took a nosedive.

Jared just exchanged a few words before hanging up and he turned back around.

He told Agnes, "Think about what I proposed."

Agnes laughed and lifted her head to ask, "Remarry? What about Valeria? Weren't you just engaged to her today?"

"I'll call off the engagement. I'll handle the rest."

Agnes laughed sarcastically, "So engagements can be called off just like that, what about feelings, can they also change at whim?"

Agnes stared into Jared's eyes, a slight smile playing on her lips, "Jared, I heard a lot about you when I went back home. I didn't believe it at first, but now I see you've really changed."

Jared's face was impassive, he retorted, "Agnes, I am who I am because of you. If we remarry, you can stay with Summer. This is your only choice. Think it over."

"I don't need to think it over, Jared. I won't remarry you, nor will I maintain a broken marriage for the sake of Nocturne."

Jared took a step forward and grabbed Agnes' chin, "Do you think you're so noble? Haven't you stopped caring about the grudges between the Pritchards and the Whitfields? Otherwise, why would you be with Ryder? Agnes, I'm not arguing with you, I'm giving you a chance."

Agnes shook off Jared's hand, "I don't need chances from you, Jared. Don't delude yourself."

The two found themselves in a silent standoff, neither willing to back down.

Jared's phone rang again, but this time, Jared didn't answer it.

Not long after, Leo showed up at the door.

Seeing the situation in the room, Leo hesitated slightly.

Jared turned his head, looking displeased, "What are you here for?"

Leo glanced at Agnes, as if he wanted to say something but stopped himself.

Finally, he walked over to Jared and told him something.

Jared's face turned serious in an instant.

Jared told Leo, "Keep an eye on her. If Agnes or my son go missing before I get back, prepare to work in Africa."

After saying his piece, Jared left.

Leo stood there, looking stunned.

Although it was a brief statement, it contained a lot of information.

Mr. Whitfield's son? When did Mr. Whitfield have a son?

Unconsciously, Leo looked towards the bedroom.

Summer was sleeping soundly on the bed.

Could it be...

Leo suddenly got it. Summer was the CEO's son.

Then Summer's mother... Leo thought the world had gone crazy.

No wonder he found Summer familiar the first time they met. That aloof demeanor and extraordinary character were so like Mr. Whitfield!
