Heartstrings on Fire novel Chapter 1131

Esther rested her chin on her hands and tilted her head, "Sprague, don't be sad. Aren't you here with us now?"

Sprague looked at Esther's rosy, round cheeks.

He couldn't help but say, "Esther, can I pinch your cheek?"

"Why would you want to pinch me?" Esther frowned, puzzled.

"Because you're too adorable, I really want to pinch you. Can I, please?"

Hearing Sprague call her cute, Esther suddenly broke into a smile, leaning her face towards him, "Well, go ahead then."

Sprague gently pinched her plump cheek.

It felt amazing, just like marshmallows, utterly adorable.

There were many girls in their kindergarten,

But none shone as brightly as Esther did.

Sprague leaned in to give her a kiss.

But Esther dodged away, "What are you doing, Sprague? My teacher told me not to kiss just anyone."

Sprague said, "A kiss means I like you."

Esther continued to prop her chin, looking up, "Still, no kissing."

Sprague, undeterred, imitated Esther's pose, his gaze fixed on her little rosy cheeks, "How about you become my wife then?"

"What's a wife?"

"It's like a spouse, someone you marry and live with."

Esther quickly refused, "Oh, that won't work. Agnes already promised me I'd be Nocturne's wife. I'm going to live with him."

"Why?" Sprague was a bit upset.

"Because I need to take care of him. Nocturne is not well, and I have to grow up fast so I can make him better." Esther's eyes were full of hope.
