Heartstrings on Fire novel Chapter 575

Ryder kept it short and simple, only introducing Agnes by name. But everyone was curious about the relationship between him and the girl living in his room. They had no idea how far along these two had come.

Agnes politely greeted Cilian, "Mr. Thomas, I've always admired you."

Cilian replied, "Please sit, we can chat over dinner."

Once Agnes took her seat, she noticed Jared across from her, looking a bit under the weather. He hadn't glanced her way since she walked in.

A little later, Beatrice strolled into the dining room, heading straight for Jared, "Mr. Whitfield, you're back."

Kevin joked from the side, "Beatrice, I remember you usually call him brother-in-law, why the switch to Mr. Whitfield now?"

Beatrice used to call him brother-in-law because Jared didn't mind. She knew Jared enjoyed it. But now, with Agnes around, the address had to change. And none of the Thomas family even knew who Agnes was.

Little did they know, Beatrice had been calling him brother-in-law way before Jared had met Valeria. Now, she can't do that anymore in front of Agnes.

Beatrice shot Kevin a look and didn't say anything, just sat down next to Jared.

Agnes watched all this, finding it rather ironic. Jared seemed perfectly at ease, with Valeria on his left and Beatrice on his right.

Cilian turned to chat with Agnes, "Valeria just told me, you and Ryder have known each other for three years in Manhattan?"
