Heartstrings on Fire novel Chapter 583

When Valeria pitched the idea to Jared, it was almost like she was joking.

Jared was quiet for a few seconds, then said, "Alright, let's get engaged."

Just then, Jared received a call from his grandpa.

For years, Jared's grandpa had been trying to play matchmaker with him and Valeria.

He had always been pushing Jared hard about marriage.

Of course, both his grandpa and Alyssa were worried that Jared couldn't move on from his past marriage.

They hoped he could forget the past and start anew, and Valeria was their ideal pick.

Over the past years, Jared had been worn out by all the pressure.

Plus, his grandpa's health wasn't the best and he used it as leverage to manipulate Jared.

Valeria knew Jared had been searching for Agnes for four years.

But four years passed, and he found nothing.

Probably out of sheer disappointment, he had proposed the idea.

Valeria was silent for a long time.

Jared stared out the window, then turned back and said, "Sorry, forget what I said. Marriage is a big deal for a woman, it can't be taken lightly."

Valeria chuckled, pulling out a bottle of red wine from the cabinet, "You know me, my career is my lover. I don't need marriage or a husband. But if an engagement could bring me great benefits, why wouldn't I agree?"

She handed Jared a wine glass, "Jared, let's team up. We can put on a show of a perfect marriage for others. This way, you can put your grandpa and Alyssa at ease, and I can expand my business empire."
