Heartstrings on Fire novel Chapter 731

Jared grasped Agnes' hand, "Don't worry about Tim and my sister, Agnes. Once I've sorted things out, I'll take you back home. I don't want you to suffer any more setbacks."

Jared thought back to the last time Agnes visited the Whitfield family, to the moment when Tim pointed to the door and told Agnes to leave, and his heart ached at the memory.

Agnes knew what was on Jared's mind.

"I'll face what I need to face, Jared," Agnes said. "Take me back home. Don't worry about the rest."

Jared squeezed Agnes' hand. "New Year's Day is coming soon. Let's go back together."

Agnes nodded.

They had almost finished dealing with things in the Capital. After saying goodbye to Phenix, Agnes and Jared returned to Willowbrook Town.

This time, it felt different from the past.

They first visited Agnes' grandmother, and Nocturne was also there. Recently, Nocturne had been staying with his great-grandmother under the care of a dedicated nanny.

When they arrived, Nocturne was still asleep. Agnes watched him quietly from within the room.

Meanwhile, Jared was in the kitchen with Agnes' grandmother, preparing dinner.

Nocturne slept soundly. It felt like a long time since Agnes had last seen Nocturne.

She stroked his hair, marveling at how stable and mature he was for his age.

Over the years, he had never inquired about his father.

Even now, knowing that Jared was his father, Nocturne, considering her feelings, continued to call him Mr. Jared. It was this maturity that made Agnes overlook his true feelings.

As a four-year-old, was he longing for a father? While Agnes was deep in thought, Nocturne’s eyelashes fluttered, and he slowly opened his eyes.
