Heartstrings on Fire novel Chapter 224

Agnes couldn't hold back the tears, but she raised her head and tried not to cry.

She had been too naive, thinking that someone like Jared would actually apologize.

He had always been a man of divine nobility, so why would he ever admit his mistakes?

In his eyes, she was intentionally getting close to Ryder.

And now, he had stopped the car to talk to her, but only because he didn't want to make a scene.

She had actually expected him to apologize, and that made him angry enough to leave.

Agnes stared into the darkness, suddenly feeling a sense of confusion.

With no money and nowhere to go, she could only return home in the end.

When Agnes arrived at the Pritchard family mansion, it was already late at night.

Everyone was asleep, so Agnes took out her keys to open the door. However, it wouldn't budge.

Eventually, even the alarm went off, waking up Preston and Laura.

It was already midnight by then.

Preston went downstairs to investigate and was surprised to see Agnes standing at the door. "Agnes, what are you doing here?"

Beatrice also came down, still groggy and unaware of what was happening. As soon as she saw Agnes, she immediately snapped awake. "I thought we had a burglar in the house. Turns out it's just you."

Beatrice emphasized the word "burglar" with particular emphasis.

Preston was actually quite pleased. "Come in, it's freezing outside. Why are you dressed so lightly? And where's Jared? Did you come back alone?"
