Heartstrings on Fire novel Chapter 217

Agnes had already returned to the house, and Jared followed her in.

They started arguing, and Alyssa, seeing this, walked over.

Agnes saw Alyssa coming and stopped arguing with Jared.

Alyssa asked, "What's up with you two, why the fight?"

Agnes didn't answer, but Jared said, "We're leaving."

He grabbed Agnes' hand and started heading out.

Agnes walked along, trying to shake off Jared's grip as they went.

There was obviously some beef between them, and just then, Ryder walked in.

Alyssa noticed that Ryder's mood was off too. She called out to him a few times, but he seemed not to hear and went straight upstairs.

Alyssa frowned.

Once they got in the car, Agnes didn't say a word, and Jared looked pretty grim.

Finally, Agnes couldn't hold back and asked, "Jared, why did you say those things? You don't trust me at all. How am I supposed to face Ryder now? What do you think he's going to think?"

Jared suddenly slammed on the brakes, and the car came to a stop by the roadside.

Jared said coldly, "How can I trust you when you're always thinking about him?"

Agnes was taken aback, "I'm not thinking about him, I just don't understand why you'd think that. What have I done to make you think there's some ambiguous relationship between Ryder and me? If you suspect me, you should at least have some proof. You can't just accuse me for no reason."

Agnes thought she and Jared had been together long enough.

He shouldn't be the jealous type, nor get mad over trivial stuff. It was just beyond comprehension.

What on earth made Jared misunderstand her?
