Heartstrings on Fire novel Chapter 25

Agnes froze, thinking she must have been dreaming.

Jared spotted Agnes and he was taken aback too.

In surprise, Agnes questioned, "What are you doing here?"

Jared composed himself, strolled in leisurely and closed the door. He nonchalantly responded, "This is my room."

Only then did Agnes realize, Ryder had brought her to Jared's room for cover.

Seeing Jared approach, Agnes felt a sudden surge of nervousness.

He took off his coat, revealing a crisp white shirt that made him look incredibly handsome.

Jared asked, "What brings you here?"

For some reason, Agnes felt a wave of unexplained anger.

Agnes retorted, "I'm here for your matchmaking banquet. All the eligible single girls of Willowbrook Town are here for you to pick and choose. Quite a showstopping event."

She huffed discontentedly after she finished.

A smirk played at the corner of Jared's mouth as he lightly pinched Agnes' puffed-up face, "Little one, are you jealous?"

Agnes denied, "I am not jealous."

Suddenly serious, Jared said, "It's you who doesn't want to make our relationship public. How about this, come downstairs with me now and I'll formally introduce you to my father and sister. Your father is also here, we can tell them we're married, and you are my wife. That way, they won't arrange these chaotic matchmaking events for me anymore."

With that, he grabbed Agnes' hand and headed for the door.
