Heartstrings on Fire novel Chapter 60

Life in the following days was pretty chill, and before she knew it, it was already June.

Jared was still often away on business, and Agnes found herself growing increasingly dependent on him.

On the first day of every business trip Jared took, Agnes would start looking forward to when he would get back.

But this time, Jared's trip was unusually long—a whole week with no confirmed date of return.

Kerri noticed Agnes moping around the house, endlessly staring at her phone, like she was deep in the throes of missing someone.

Agnes had to admit that she really missed Jared, waiting for his messages and his calls.

Even if his messages were just a word or two, Agnes would look at her phone, her heart brimming with happiness.

Kerri began to wonder if Agnes was falling in love.

Agnes didn’t deny it.

Today was weekend, and Agnes hadn't received any messages from Jared all day, which made her feel particularly down.

By three o'clock in the afternoon, Agnes had left the library and planned to go home to sleep. On her bike ride home, because her mind wasn't there, she nearly hit a black sedan.

When the car stopped, Agnes was startled because her bike had left an obvious scratch on the rear of the car.

Agnes took one look at the license plate, and it was a Maybach. Her heart sank.

The driver got out and immediately scolded her: “What's wrong with you, young lady? How can you ride a bike so carelessly? Don't you care about safety?”

Agnes quickly apologized, saying, “I'm sorry, it was my fault.”

The driver quickly checked and saw the scratch on his car and said, “Can you afford to pay for this damage? Do you know what kind of car it is? Can you, a student, afford it?”

Agnes replied, “We can call the police first, follow the standard procedures, get an assessment, and I will take responsibility.”
