Heartstrings on Fire novel Chapter 85

Agnes couldn't believe Justin just blurted out the whole thing.

A year ago, Agnes met Justin for the first time at a grand gala. She thought he was pretty awesome. But she didn't expect his first words to her would be, "Hey girl, wanna marry me?"

Agnes was taken aback. She thought, the guy was surely handsome but he must have been off his rocker.

They didn't know each other, had no connections, and it was the first time Agnes had ever seen him.

She turned him down on the spot.

She never told anyone about this, not even her then-boyfriend Elton.

Ivan, however, was not too surprised. He smirked, "Well, here's a shocker. You might be the only one who turned down a proposal from Justin."

Hearing Ivan say this, Justin seemed a bit miffed. "She broke my heart big time. It's been a year and the wound is still fresh."

Agnes was speechless.

Justin added, "Hey, who'd have thought we'd have such a connection? Now that we have a chance to interact more, you're bound to fall for me."

Agnes replied coldly, "No chance. I'm not into guys who are prettier than girls."

Upon hearing this, Justin seemed quite pleased. He reached out to pinch Agnes' cheek, "Is that a compliment? The woman that I'm gonna marry sure has a unique way of praising people."

Ivan chimed in, "Dream on. You're out of the race."

"Why?"

"She's married," Ivan calmly stated.
