Heartstrings on Fire novel Chapter 322

Agnes suddenly had a bold idea.

She grabbed Jared's arm and said, "Let's secretly eavesdrop on Grandma, okay?"

Jared frowned, "That's not appropriate, I refuse."

Jared was an upright person, and even with Agnes pulling at him, he didn’t want to.

"Then you can go back. I'll go alone," Agnes said.

With that, Agnes ran away, and Jared was really gone. In the back mountain, there was a large jujube tree with lush branches covered in winter jujubes.

Agnes hid behind the tree.

She overheard her grandma still chattering away, "Julia, I think Jared's a good kid. At first, I thought he looked quite handsome. I couldn't help but think Agnes would be just like you, always liking good-looking boys. But these past few days, I deliberately had him help me with so many things, and that young man didn't utter a single complaint. He's very meticulous in his work. I see how caring he is towards Agnes, and you can rest assured."

Agnes heard everything Grandma said and felt extremely happy.

So, it turned out that Grandma didn't dislike Jared after all.

These past few days of making him do physical labor were just a test.

Agnes was ecstatic and couldn't wait to tell Jared the good news.

As she turned to leave, she heard Grandma sigh as if in sorrow, "Child, why were you so desperate to take pills and end your life back then? Do you know how heartbroken I've been all these years just thinking about it? If you were still alive, seeing Agnes living well would be so wonderful. I never approved of that man, Preston Pritchard, but you insisted on marrying him, and as a result, you left us. How could you bear to leave me? I raised you since you were little. You were my life."
