Heartstrings on Fire novel Chapter 72

Agnes was completely flabbergasted. Her mind went blank for a moment, then it hit her.

She never quite understood why a guy like Jared would marry her. They didn't know each other, and it was just a drunken encounter that brought them together.

That morning, Agnes woke up in utter panic. Jared, however, casually asked, "Are you of age?"

She nodded.

"We'll meet in front of city hall this afternoon," said Jared.

And just like that, Agnes and Jared became husband and wife.

At that time, Agnes was utterly disappointed in love because of Elton and Jenny. She had also lost her virginity. She didn't care who she married and didn't realize then that the man she married was a big shot. But for Jared, Agnes couldn't understand why he chose to marry her instead of dealing with a one-night stand in another way.

Now Agnes understood that Jared shared the same feelings. They both were disheartened about their own relationships and decided to be careless about marriage.

While others were talking, Agnes couldn't hear a word. She turned around and left the hospital like a ghost.

Agnes was sad, as she knew that even if Jared married her for such a reason, it was not his fault. She had done the same, so she had no reason to blame him. What saddened Agnes more was that her current thoughts were completely different from before.

She... she seemed to have fallen for Jared...

The night was deep. Agnes walked ahead absentmindedly. Suddenly, a sharp horn sounded. When she turned her head, all she saw were two blinding lights, that made her struggle to open her eyes.
