Heartstrings on Fire novel Chapter 586

After the footsteps faded away from the room, Agnes finally broke down and started crying.

But she didn't dare to sob, just silently shed tears.

Agnes couldn't remember when was the last time she cried.

After having Nocturne, Agnes felt like she was clad in a suit of tough armor.

No matter what storms she faced, she could handle them with ease.

Sometimes, she felt fortunate, feeling like she finally became the person she wanted to be, an invincible superwoman.

But Agnes found that Jared was her weak spot.

Whenever he was involved, her so-called armor couldn't stand a chance.

His sneer when he left was still echoing in her mind.

Agnes knew Jared had truly given up.

In a way, Agnes thought she should be happy.

Because it meant she no longer needed to live in fear and hide.

For all these years, she was afraid that Jared would probe into her life, afraid that he would discover the existence of Nocturne.

He was always a stubborn man, especially since she left him without a word.

His goodbye after four years made her think of the night her father passed away, as if she had lost something most important in her life.

Agnes later tried to figure out what she had lost.

Then she realized. What she lost was care and entanglement.

Maybe that was for the best.

When Ryder came back, he found blood on the floor and Agnes trembling with suppressed sobs.

Ryder knew what had happened.

Jared had been here.

But he also knew that Agnes must have given him an answer.

Because at this moment, Jared had already driven away.

Ryder approached Agnes, saying, "He's gone. If you want to cry, just let it all out."

Agnes wanted to cry out loud, but after suppressing it for so long, she seemed to have forgotten how to let it out.

Over the years, she had been constantly asking herself, did she regret it?
