Heartstrings on Fire novel Chapter 159

Did she say something wrong again? Because when she said it, she clearly saw Ryder frown.

Ryder opened his mouth and said, "Are you done? If so, you can leave now."

Agnes felt extremely awkward. She quietly left Ryder's room, gently closing his door behind her. When she returned to her own bedroom. Jared, who was sitting on the sofa reading documents, looked up and asked, "Where have you been?"

Agnes walked over, a dejected look on her face, "I think your nephew really hates me."

"Oh? You mean Ryder?" Jared asked.

Agnes replied, "It's all because of you. He must think I stole you away from him."

Jared chuckled, stroking Agnes's hair, "That's not it. Ryder is just more introverted and solitary. But if you give him some time, you'll discover he's actually a really warm person."

"Warm" was a word Agnes simply couldn't associate with Ryder. Didn't he know that Ryder was called Prince Frost at school?

The next day. Beatrice, limping, came looking for trouble with Agnes at the film set. In the lounge, Beatrice pointed at Agnes's nose and asked, "Agnes, are you deliberately bullying me?"

Agnes calmly replied, "How did I bully you?"

"Why didn’t you come home last night? You left me alone in that big house. Isn’t that bullying me?" Beatrice said.

Agnes replied lightly, "You chose to stay at Maplewood Manor, but I didn't say we were going to stay there too. You're staying there not because you're alone at home, but for some other purpose, right?"

There were many people in the lounge, and Agnes wasn't trying to protect Beatrice's dignity.
