Heartstrings on Fire novel Chapter 243

Agnes said, "I hope my studies go smoothly, and my grandmother stays healthy and lives to at least a hundred."

Thinking of her grandmother, Agnes felt guilty. It was her birthday today, but her father hadn't invited her grandmother, and she hadn't visited her grandma in a long time.

Jared furrowed his brows.

He noticed that his name wasn't mentioned in her wishes. He let out a faint hum, clearly dissatisfied, "Stupid girl, don't you know that wishes won't come true if you say them out loud?"

Agnes replied, "If you already knew that saying them out loud would prevent them from coming true, why did you ask me in the first place?"

Agnes continued to enjoy her cake.

However, suddenly she let out a scream and found a diamond ring inside the cake. She was pleasantly surprised and quickly wiped off the cream from the ring using a tissue.

Then, with excitement, she handed the ring to Jared, "Is this the birthday gift you got for me?"

Jared raised an eyebrow, "Do you like it?"

Of course, Agnes liked it, not just because it was a diamond ring, but because Jared had prepared a gift for her. She had felt a bit disappointed earlier.

Agnes smiled and glanced at Jared, "You hid it so well. Weren't you afraid I might have swallowed it just now?"

"It's my fault for not considering everything. You're quite clumsy, and it's possible you could have done something like that."

Agnes frowned, "Jared, do you really think I'm that dumb in your eyes?"

Jared fell silent for a moment and then said seriously, "Perhaps among the women I know, you are the dumbest."

Agnes was angry. Why was this person so unpleasant?

"Why would you marry someone as dumb as me and even give me a ring?" Agnes asked, puzzled.

They had secretly married before, simply obtaining their marriage certificate, and Jared hadn't given her a ring. So when she saw the ring as a gift, she was pleasantly surprised. The current Agnes was completely different from before; she now eagerly anticipated the sense of ceremony that came with a wedding. To her, this was the best gift.
