Heartstrings on Fire novel Chapter 43

Those past events felt like they happened just yesterday, as if a long period had passed.

Elton approached Agnes and said, "Agnes, I really miss you."

Agnes replied, "We're done, Elton. Please don't do this."

Elton reached out to hold Agnes's hand: "Agnes, I know you hate me, but could you forgive me one last time? Agnes, I love you, I can't live without you."

But Agnes stepped back, looking up at Elton: "Elton, we're past the point of no return. Jenny is pregnant, you have to find courage. Don't bother me anymore, things between us are long over."

Pain flickered in Elton's eyes.

As Agnes tried to leave, Elton blurted out, "Jenny's pregnancy was a fluke. She planned it. Agnes, please don't ignore me, do you know how much I've suffered these days?"

Elton's tone was almost child like at the end.

This was Elton's way, every time he upset her, he would act like a child, despite being much older than her.

But Agnes used always to forgive him.

But now Agnes felt annoyed: "Elton, can't you grow up? You are not a kid anymore. Haven't you faced the reality yet? You think you can just apologize and everything will be fine? Also, Elton, I'm not the same person anymore, we...it's impossible."

They were at the school gate, and though it was noon and not many people were around, people started glancing over.

Agnes turned and ran back to school.

Elton chased after her, but Agnes quickly entered the nearby library, which was off-limits without a student ID, leaving Elton stuck outside.
