Heartstrings on Fire novel Chapter 295

Mamie was waiting for Agnes in her lounge room, obviously.

Agnes put down her handbag and said, "Is there anything you want from me?"

"Agnes, I still want to apologize to you."

"You're here to apologize on behalf of your brother, right? Let the past be the past."

Mamie seemed to be in a complicated mood, "I now finally get why Jared is so into you. Your tolerance is really something not everyone has."

Agnes chuckled, "Actually, I can be quite petty too. I just let you guys owe me a favor intentionally, in case I need something from you down the line."

Mamie also laughed, "No worries, I've already figured it out over the past few days. Jared has never actually loved me. Seeing his attitude towards you, that's when I realized he only treats me like a brother treats his sister, and you and him, you're the real deal. Do you know what? Even though we've been together for years in name, he's never been jealous for me."

Agnes sat quietly, listening to her story.

A hint of helplessness showed on the corners of Mamie's mouth, "I know it in my heart, but I just can't bring myself to let go. Do you know why I like Jared? When I was five, I was pushed from the top of a villa and fell into a swimming pool. I almost drowned. It was Jared who saved me. Actually, I was unconscious at the time. I couldn't see his face clearly, only remembering the feeling of drowning. I remember grabbing his collar, like grabbing a lifesaver. When people are desperate, they form excessive dependence. He is my hero, so I've always loved him."

Agnes suddenly frowned, "There's something I probably should tell you."

Mamie paused, "What's that?"

"About your drowning incident when you were five. I later asked Jared, and what he said seemed to be a bit different from what you remember."

Mamie's face changed, "What did you say?"
