Heartstrings on Fire novel Chapter 356

Agnes didn't wrap up her work and get back to Celestial Skyline Hotel until 3 a.m.

She had been shooting into the wee hours for the past couple of days.

Her life was completely upside down, which was totally draining her.

But when Agnes got back to her hotel room, she found Jared was still up, wide awake.

He was outside on the balcony, puffing on a ciggy.

This threw Agnes for a loop.

Jared hardly ever smoked unless he was seriously bent out of shape about something.

Agnes dropped her handbag and made a beeline for him.

She kicked off her shoes and tiptoed across the thick carpet, not making a peep.

She came up behind Jared and wrapped her arms around his waist, whispering softly, "It's 3 in the morning, why aren't you asleep yet?"

Jared was so caught up in his thoughts that he didn't even notice Agnes was back.

He stubbed out his ciggy, turned around, and gently stroked Agnes' cheek, "Are you beat?"

Agnes shook her head, "Nah, seeing you perks me up."

Agnes wasn't one to go all soft and mushy.

Whatever anger and pain Jared had been feeling due to Beatrice's provocation seemed to lessen a bit.

Jared pulled Agnes into a tight hug.

Her hair fell loose.

It wasn't very long, but it did reach past her shoulders.

Jared had kissed every inch of her, so he knew about the tiny tattoo at the back of Agnes' neck.

It’s a simple hexagon.

Small, but not particularly eye-catching.

To Jared, a tattoo was no big deal.

It didn't necessarily mean a girl was rebellious or unruly.

And even if it did, he didn't give a hoot.
