Heartstrings on Fire novel Chapter 1089

Phenix had been postponing her wedding with Sean for what felt like ages. In the blink of an eye, it was already April. The wedding, initially set to be in Bali, was now relocated to the Capital. The guest list wasn't extensive. It consisted of old friends Reggie Albert had known for years and, of course, their brothers.

Sean, being an international fugitive, necessitated a low-profile affair. Most people didn't even know he had returned. However, Sean had since left his mercenary life behind. He and Phenix had plans to settle down in Australia after the wedding. Reggie had purchased an estate there as their wedding gift. Kearney's present was a set of ruby jewelry that Agnes had once worn at a count's soiree. Agnes also had a gift for Phenix: a spectacular fireworks display.

The wedding took place at the Capital's Sanctuary of Harmony. The reception was held at the Capital's largest hotel, the Ford Hotel. Reggie owned a significant share of the Ford Hotel, making it a secure location. Additionally, the Ford Hotel was closed to other guests for the day.

Tomorrow was Phenix's wedding. Agnes and Jared traveled to the Capital the night before. Their first stop was Serenity Hall. Nocturne Pritchard was doing a bit better than before, which took Agnes by surprise. But what surprised her the most was Nocturne's change in personality. Spending time with Esther, whose lively and quirky nature seemed to rub off on Nocturne, had a positive effect on him.

Despite her young age, Esther was full of unusual ideas and loved adventures, often dragging Nocturne along. So, climbing trees and stargazing from rooftops had become routine for Nocturne, making him seem more like a kid his age should, enjoying the simple joys of childhood. Agnes was utterly fond of Esther. The little munchkin adored Jared's cooking. Unfortunately, due to her unique condition, her diet was strictly monitored, with sugar being a no-go.

During this visit, Agnes also encountered White, the Siberian Plains wolf. The last time she saw him, he was just a small pup, but in only a month, White had grown to twice his size. Agnes had her concerns, especially since Esther had started keeping the wolf at the herbal clinic. But the wolf was incredibly intelligent, even more so than dogs, understanding Esther and showing empathy towards others at the clinic. After observing for a while, Agnes and Jared agreed to let Esther keep the wolf, seeing the bond they had formed. The wolf wasn't a cold-blooded animal; it had come to see Esther as a sibling. Given that, Agnes decided to let them build their relationship.

Agnes had wanted to bring Nocturne to Phenix's wedding. However, due to his acupuncture session that evening, they had to skip it. The next morning, Agnes headed to Eden Nights. Phenix was getting ready there, looking stunning in her white dress. Normally seen in heavy makeup, Phenix had opted for a minimal look on her wedding day, making her almost unrecognizable to Agnes. Upon seeing her, Agnes exclaimed, "Phenix, I never knew you could be this beautiful."
